CUT

Yoh Kamiyama's song 'CUT' delves into the emotional turmoil and the journey of self-reinvention. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration and disconnection, as the protagonist feels misunderstood and unheard. The repeated lines, 'きっとあんたにはわからないでしょう' (Surely, you won't understand), emphasize the protagonist's isolation and the futility of trying to communicate their feelings to someone who cannot comprehend them. This sense of alienation is further highlighted by the imagery of '赤危険信号' (red danger signal), symbolizing a warning or a breaking point in their emotional state.

The song also explores themes of loss and the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly stable life. The lines '春は何回目 生まれ変わった私に' (How many springs have passed, to the reborn me) suggest a cyclical process of renewal and transformation. The protagonist is determined to leave behind the '馬鹿なこと' (foolish things) and the '喪失感' (sense of loss) that have held them back. This journey of self-discovery is marked by a desire to break free from past regrets and sorrows, as indicated by the lines '後悔だって悲しみから 見つけたんだ' (Even from regret and sadness, I found something).

The chorus, 'make you happy baby, CUT it’s all right!', serves as a mantra for liberation and self-empowerment. It signifies a decisive break from the past and a commitment to finding happiness on one's own terms. The song's closing lines, '心配ない 言葉は宛てにならない 誰にでも慣れるさ 今夜もう一度 最初から行きたい' (Don't worry, words are unreliable, you can get used to anyone, tonight once more, I want to start from the beginning), encapsulate the protagonist's resolve to move forward and embrace a new beginning, free from the constraints of their previous life.
