Hate Killer

In 'Hate Killer,' Won delves into the complexities of self-perception and the struggle between self-love and self-loathing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone caught in a cycle of self-doubt and societal expectations. The opening lines, 'またうだうだぐだぐだ考えてるふり / 自分の意思とかないからさ,' suggest a sense of aimlessness and lack of personal agency, as if the protagonist is merely going through the motions dictated by others. This is further emphasized by the commands 'お手！ふせ！待て！おかわり,' which evoke the image of a trained pet, highlighting the loss of individuality and autonomy.

The recurring imagery of spinning and turning, 'ほら時計はぐるぐる / 回ってぐるぐる,' symbolizes the relentless passage of time and the protagonist's inability to escape their own thoughts. The phrase '冷や汗が止まんねえわ' conveys a sense of anxiety and unease, as if the protagonist is constantly on edge. Despite this, there is a peculiar affection for their flawed self, 'もう本当 / ダメダメの自分が可愛いの,' indicating a complex relationship with their own imperfections.

The chorus, 'あうっせえ なりとまない嫉妬すら愛しいの / ゆらゆらと燃えるヘイトキラー,' introduces the concept of the 'Hate Killer,' a metaphor for the internal battle between self-hatred and self-acceptance. The protagonist finds a strange comfort in their jealousy and flaws, suggesting that these negative emotions are an integral part of their identity. The repeated references to selfies, '次々とたまるセルフィー,' highlight the superficial nature of self-validation in the digital age, where appearances can be deceiving. Ultimately, 'Hate Killer' is a poignant exploration of the duality of self-perception, where love and hate coexist in a delicate balance.
