Kyomō No Koibito (2018 Version)

Unlucky Morpheus' 'Kyomō No Koibito (2018 Version)' delves into the complexities and illusions of love, questioning its authenticity and purpose. The song opens with a series of words like 'Progress, buttle, raid, hunters,' which evoke a sense of struggle and conflict. These terms set the stage for a deeper exploration of life's meaning and the true nature of love. The repeated question, 'What is the meaning of life? Who is it for?' suggests a search for purpose and understanding in a chaotic world.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of 'ugly beasts flocking in idols,' likening the pursuit of love to a spider's web—entangling and deceptive. This metaphor highlights the superficiality and potential dangers of idolizing love without questioning its true essence. The phrase 'Escape from simple question, Is this true love?' underscores the difficulty of discerning genuine affection from mere illusion. The song's use of Japanese phrases like 'nouran no mure o nasu' and 'awarena kemono no wananaki' adds a layer of cultural depth, emphasizing the universal struggle to find meaningful connections.

The chorus further explores the theme of illusory love, describing it as 'haribote no saiden,' or a flimsy altar, and urging listeners to 'sā kyougi no kagiri o sasageyo,' or dedicate themselves to the limits of their beliefs. The imagery of 'the jail of saint cherry blossom' and 'living sacrifice' suggests that love can be both a beautiful and confining experience. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of love, describing it as 'hakanaki kakaru kyomou no ai,' or a transient, illusory love that leaves nothing behind. The final lines, 'chikaratsukita dorei nado sutete hohoemu dake,' imply a sense of resignation and acceptance, smiling despite the realization that love may be nothing more than a comforting illusion.
