Choose Me

The song 'Choose Me' by VOCALOID delves into the complex emotions and moral dilemmas associated with forbidden love. From the very beginning, the protagonist acknowledges that falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship is wrong. Despite this awareness, their feelings grow stronger with each encounter, leading to a crumbling sense of self-control. The lyrics poignantly capture the internal conflict and the gradual erosion of the protagonist's resolve as they become more entangled in their emotions.

The narrative intensifies as the protagonist grapples with the reality that the object of their affection is their friend's partner. This adds a layer of guilt and confusion, as they question their own worth and why they cannot be the chosen one. The repeated plea of 'Choose me' underscores the desperation and longing that permeates the song. The protagonist's internal struggle is further highlighted by their attempts to maintain a facade of normalcy, even as their heart breaks and their emotions spiral out of control.

Cultural references to classic phrases like 'Ano hi deawanakya yokatta' (I wish we had never met) add a timeless quality to the song, resonating with anyone who has experienced unrequited or forbidden love. The protagonist's desire to be close to their love, despite knowing it is impossible, and their contemplation of losing everything to ease their pain, reflect the universal themes of love, loss, and longing. The song's emotional depth is amplified by the haunting repetition of 'Choose me,' making it a poignant exploration of the human heart's complexities and the pain of unattainable love.
