Hey My Friend

Tommy Heavenly6's song "Hey My Friend" is a poignant exploration of self-discovery, friendship, and the struggle to find one's way in a confusing and often overwhelming world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with inner turmoil and uncertainty, symbolized by the long, unending rain and the noisy sounds that echo in their mind. The protagonist feels lost and disconnected, unable to see a clear path forward, which is metaphorically represented by the line, "I lose my way without you."

The recurring mention of a friend’s voice and the phrase "Hello my self" suggests a dual journey of reconnecting with both a significant other and one's own inner self. This friend seems to serve as a guiding light, a source of comfort and clarity amidst the chaos. The protagonist's struggle with pride and the desire to be genuine is evident in the lines, "kazaru dake no PURAIDO nara iranai" (I don't need pride that is just for show). This indicates a yearning for authenticity and a rejection of superficiality.

The song also touches on the theme of hope and the possibility of change. The protagonist expresses a desire to feel their heart race with excitement and to see a future that seems guided and promising. However, there is also an acknowledgment of the ever-present risk of missteps, as indicated by the line, "fumihazusu michi ga chikaku ni aru nara" (if there is a path to stumble upon nearby). This duality of hope and caution encapsulates the human experience of navigating life's uncertainties with the support of friends and self-awareness.
