Saturn

Zutomayo's song 'Saturn' delves into the complexities of love, distance, and emotional vulnerability. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship fraught with uncertainty and longing. The narrator expresses a desire for their partner to find joy even when they are not together, highlighting a selfless love that prioritizes the other's happiness. This sentiment is juxtaposed with the narrator's own feelings of insecurity and the struggle to communicate effectively, as seen in lines like 'ふあんにさせるのとくいだよね' (You're good at making me anxious) and 'くちべたなすきがほしいの' (I want a clumsy love).

The song uses celestial imagery to convey the vast emotional distance between the narrator and their partner. References to 'まっしろなちきゅう' (a pure white Earth) and 'もくせいもつきもつきぬけなきゃ' (Jupiter and the moon must be pierced) suggest a longing to bridge the gap between them. The recurring theme of gravity, or the lack thereof, symbolizes the weight of their emotions and the difficulty of maintaining a connection. The narrator's plea to 'ふるえるこえにみみすまして' (listen to my trembling voice) underscores their vulnerability and the hope that their partner will truly understand their feelings.

The song also touches on the passage of time and the changes it brings. The narrator reflects on how their partner's scent and voice have changed, indicating a sense of loss and nostalgia. Despite these changes, there is a persistent hope that they can overcome the distance and misunderstandings. The line 'このきょりだってのりこえられるよね' (We can overcome this distance, right?) encapsulates this hope, even as the narrator acknowledges the challenges they face. 'Saturn' is a poignant exploration of love's gravitational pull and the emotional landscapes navigated in the quest for connection.
