Fixer

The song 'Fixer' by v flower (ブイフラワ) delves into the complex emotions of someone grappling with their sense of self and the overwhelming desire to escape from their current reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is unable to sleep, haunted by their memories and desperate for a substitute to take their place in life. This longing for escape is a central theme, as the protagonist wishes to erase their past and start anew, but feels trapped by their circumstances.

The repeated pleas to '沈め' (sink) and '落とせ' (drop) suggest a deep desire to be submerged and to fall away from the burdens of life until they are no longer recognizable. This imagery of sinking and falling is contrasted with the idea of '灰上がれないほどまで' (until you can't rise from the ashes), indicating a point of no return where the protagonist is completely consumed by their struggles. The song also touches on the futility of false promises and the pain of unfulfilled expectations, as the protagonist's mind is overwhelmed by empty words and broken promises.

The lyrics also explore themes of self-destruction and rebirth. The lines '死んでしまえしまえ' (just die) and '壊せ壊せ' (break it) reflect a desire to destroy the current self and the past, while the call to '踊り踊れ' (dance) and '変われ変われ' (change) before becoming completely gray suggests a yearning for transformation and renewal. The song captures the intense emotional turmoil of someone caught between the desire to escape and the need to confront their reality, ultimately seeking a way to break free and find a new path forward.
