Kizutsu Kedo, Aishiteru

TUYU's song 'Kizutsu Kedo, Aishiteru' delves into the complex emotions of love, sacrifice, and resilience. The lyrics express a deep desire to protect something precious, even at the cost of personal suffering. The repetition of 'まもりたくて' (want to protect) underscores the protagonist's unwavering commitment, despite the pain and weakness they endure. This relentless pursuit of protection, however, is met with the realization that mere effort is not enough, as indicated by the lines 'はしって はしって はしってるけど それじゃ、だめなの' (running, running, running, but it's not enough).

The song also explores the theme of helplessness and the struggle to find justice or meaning in suffering. The protagonist questions the existence of justice, feeling powerless with 'むりょく ちいさなて' (powerless, small hands) that cannot grasp anything. This sense of futility is contrasted with the determination to protect everything, as seen in 'ぜんぶまもるって かくごきめた' (decided to protect everything). The tears shed on the day of this resolution are portrayed as genuine, capable of proving the truth of their commitment.

Despite the overwhelming challenges and the temptation to let everything disappear to ease the burden, the protagonist resolves to keep protecting what they hold dear. The phrase 'きずつけど、あいしてる' (though hurt, I love) encapsulates the essence of the song—an enduring love that persists through pain and hardship. The lyrics convey a poignant message about the strength found in vulnerability and the relentless pursuit of love and protection, even when faced with insurmountable odds.
