脳内革命ガール (Brain Revolution Girl)

Vivid BAD SQUAD's song '脳内革命ガール (Brain Revolution Girl)' delves into the complexities of self-perception and the struggle for authenticity in a world filled with superficial expectations. The lyrics open with a sense of resignation and frustration, as the protagonist acknowledges the repetitive cycle of making excuses and feeling unfulfilled. The lines '言い訳、始まりました また始まりました。はあ' (Excuses have started again, they have started again. Sigh) set the tone for a narrative that questions the value of societal norms and the pursuit of materialistic 'treasures.'

The song's chorus reflects a deep sense of alienation and disillusionment. The protagonist feels disconnected from their true self, as indicated by the lines 'ああ、人間じゃないみたいだ 素顔隠して' (Ah, I feel like I'm not human, hiding my true face). This metaphor of hiding one's true face suggests a struggle with identity and the pressure to conform to external ideals. The repeated mention of '名無しさん' (Mr./Ms. Anonymous) underscores the theme of anonymity and the loss of individuality in a conformist society.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's frustration grows, culminating in a desire to break free from these constraints. The lines '素直になりたいだけだ 素直になりたいんだけど' (I just want to be honest, I just want to be honest, but) highlight the internal conflict between the desire for authenticity and the fear of vulnerability. The song ends on a note of resignation, with the protagonist acknowledging the futility of their efforts to fit in and the ultimate realization that true 'treasures' are not found in societal approval but in self-acceptance and authenticity.
