Virgin Suicide

Uchuu Nekoko's song 'Virgin Suicide' delves into themes of nostalgia, lost innocence, and the bittersweet nature of love. The lyrics reflect on a past relationship, highlighting how both individuals have changed over time. The line '変わってしまったのはいつかの君といつかの僕さ' (The ones who have changed are the you and me from some time ago) suggests a sense of longing for the past and a recognition that both parties have evolved, perhaps in ways that have distanced them from each other.

The song also touches on the inherent sadness that comes with love, as expressed in '一人で気づいたのは愛があるから人は悲しいんだ' (I realized alone that people are sad because there is love). This line encapsulates the duality of love—its ability to bring joy and sorrow simultaneously. The reference to a movie in 'いつか見た映画みたいさ' (It's like a movie I saw once) adds a layer of romanticism and idealization, suggesting that the memories of the past relationship are viewed through a cinematic, almost surreal lens.

Furthermore, the repeated lines 'あの日の僕が少し大人だったなら' (If I had been a little more mature that day) and 'いつだって僕ら二人は子供みたいに愛を欲しがっていたんだ' (We always wanted love like children) emphasize a sense of regret and a yearning for a simpler, more innocent time. The imagery of being like children in their desire for love underscores the purity and naivety of their emotions, contrasting with the complexities and pains of adult relationships. Through these poignant reflections, Uchuu Nekoko captures the essence of youthful love and the inevitable changes that come with growing up.
