Remake Sense

THE ORAL CIGARETTES' song 'Remake Sense' delves into the complexities of modern emotions and the struggle to find genuine meaning amidst societal expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person overwhelmed by external judgments and the superficiality of social interactions. The opening lines, 'どたんばです せけんのひょうかにまどわされて,' suggest a sense of urgency and confusion, as the protagonist feels crushed by the colorful yet hollow evaluations of society.

The recurring theme of destruction and loss is evident in lines like 'ああ、またころしてしまった ひとつひとつなくなって,' where the protagonist laments the gradual disappearance of meaningful connections. This sense of despair is further emphasized by the imagery of raising a middle finger behind the scenes, indicating a rebellious yet futile response to the changing environment that continues to pierce their heart. The metaphor of being bound by threads suggests a feeling of entrapment and helplessness.

The chorus reflects on the emptiness of words and the difficulty in conveying true emotions. Phrases like 'いみのないことばのあいのあと' highlight the frustration of meaningless conversations that fail to capture the depth of one's feelings. The protagonist questions their understanding of these emotions, admitting, 'ぼくはなにもわかってないな,' which underscores the theme of confusion and self-doubt. The song ultimately portrays a poignant struggle to navigate the chaos of modern life and find authentic connections in a world dominated by superficiality and pretense.
