And what about you, who've listened up to this point? なんとなく、勘違う Somehow you are misunderstanding “前者一択”って "I'll take the former" 大人に「満足」をひったくった民と Says folk with "satisfaction" stolen by adults 行き場を無くした奴らでガンフィンガー They don’t have a place to go, so they raise gun fingers そんでもって、輪郭は信者 like a DONE And yet, contours are believers (like a DONE) A.M3:00台、脳も堕ちる頃 At 3:00 am, time when brain stops 造が鈍くなって And creation process slows down 「わからない」を唱えたって Keeping chanting "I don't know/understand" ねこの所為でしょ・・?

Precious. ただ塞ぐ I'll just plug this この耳に二度と ear of mine, so that 「愛」や「夢」が no "Love" or "Aspiration" 響かない様に。 will ever resound inside of it ( 風化した忌憚の思想に縋ってしまったんだ ( I've ended up clinging to candidness of thought. 飛び交う持論の中で In the midst of all the cherished opinions flying around 創作と同じく不満を描くでしょう ) You probably will paint dissatisfaction similar to work of art ) あああああああああああああああああああ。。。 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... “A man is to be cheated into passion, but to be reasoned into truth” - John Dryden P.S.: 曲じゃない、芸術作品です、好き。黒闇の色と向日葵の光が交わることが最高です、素敵です。始まりのBGには「天使の翼」の屋上があるのはうれしい。最後に右の耳だけに音があることが面白い。 ありがとう、A4。ーさんも、制作スタッフも!神曲! Notes(updated, as well as lyrics): (*1) - used literal meaning, but more sensible translation would probably be - "I know that I'm crazy/not right in the head". Or at least in case protagonist speaks about themselves(in that case it might also mean "missing talent/knowledge"? idk). There's also theory that devil represents AI that's used to "create" art, which I see as an entity without head(or heart?). (Disclaimer: last part is my personal interpretation, while the first one - about AI - is mentioned in multiple comments) (*2) - my general understanding of this part is that devil wants protagonist sign a contract, but they understand that it has some tricks to it (*3) - the second time lyrics show up they have た and る merged together. My guess is 「いたって」="existed" 「いるって」="exist"(in regards to god/devil? the first verb is praying, idk). If this is wrong - I have no idea. Plus with this binary state and cat(QR code prompt) -> Schroedinger? (*4) - smart people in comments deciphered the message but I'm not ready to encrypt it back in english QR codes: 3:12 Blind belief has various effects, it's similar to the fruit of temptation. Even if it's rotten and dented. We. We just can't stop greedily devouring it. 3:10 There's a [Cat] in this world Wait, it might not actually be there, But you'll never now if it is I finally understood that cat that "is" and cat that "is not" both exist Anyway, there is a cat.

I used this in my cover as subs and I referenced you, thank you very much for your effort, the lyrics are very beautiful (I tried to put the notes in the description but youtube didn't let me so from time to time *3 appears and I asked them to come and see it here)
Omg i've listend to this song many times, but just now noticed that the audio in the end is heard on your right ear and static on the left, just like the character in this mv! It's like you are hearing what she is hearing while she bleeds out! What a cool detail.
Since I'm not seeing any comments analyzing the MV I'm just gonna make a guess and say that this is closely related if not entirely based on Vincent van Gogh. The part where he cuts his left ear is a dead giveaway but I would like to give a few more details that solidifies this. -The color yellow has a strong presence on this video, signifying Van Gogh's favourite color. If you look at his paintings irl you'll find an abundance of said color. -At 2:00 and 2:39 we can see a sunflower, his favourite flower. -This is where at 2:23 and 2:44 we can see a significant change where everything turns yellow. This is a reference to Van Gogh "contracting" Xanthopsia, or more commonly known as yellow vision. I quoted contracting because it is not known if he actually had it or he just really liked the color yellow. -And finally the last evidence mentioned above being his left ear being ripped apart. I could still be wrong about it but hey if you guys have noticed anything else feel free to comment! -Also I just found out that at 1:46 he gets shot in the lower part of the torso, near the stomach. Van Gogh suffered a similar gunshot and died two days later.
This song has so much meaning for me, I relate very well to what i at least perceive as someone having their mental health brought down by the pursuit of beauty and meaning and art, absolute masterpiece of a song and i love the absolute chaotic ending too!!!

English for the English gremlins (me), reply if i messed up somewhere (or everywhere) prior notes: 1) For the love of everything if you've got photosensitivity don't watch this video, there's some flashy bits throughout but its particularly bad near the end. 2) The name (The Flea waltz) has a couple of other readings (I know it as chopsticks) but the japanese name literally means 'stepped on a cat' lyric What do you call this feeling? If only I could see the future, Ah… There’s no need to feel sad Bring forth your worthless rust and grief! Ah… Now, it's a rendezvous with the devil! My head knows what’s missing (not enough). “Then go all out! Because, well, don’t you look quite the fool? ‘Cause it’s you we’re talking about, There’s no way you couldn’t understand (lol)” “Well, yea, but… you say that… I know all of the future! Your laughter is unfair.” Have the nerve to mess around! ‘Cause after all Even this obvious harmony, this no good thing, Seems to be like that demon’s ‘thing’ It’s good for nothing!! You should specialize in the vintage you wear I know to be enough and to pray But god and the unnatural don’t mix This unrelenting dream debates the value of colour Ordinarily, you should cast your heritage to the flames I know to exist and act big But no matter where I go it wont change It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, It’s all your fault! I clung desperately onto the idea of fading modesty. Fluttering through my own pet theories Let us paint our discontent the same as our creation How about you, you who’ve listened this far? For some reason, intuition seems wrong “The first ones better” One’s trigger finger, with no place to go Steals ‘satisfaction’ from adults And so, the sketch becomes a believer, like a done 3 AM, the brain sinks low around then And the body (physique) gets slow. “I don’t understand” is recited Is this the cat’s doing..? The pain’s definition is one step ahead of me Stuck between arguing and ‘understanding’ -- "IT'S ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT" You should specialize in the vintage you wear I know to be enough and to pray But god and the unnatural don’t mix This unrelenting dream debates the value of colour Ordinarily, you should cast your heritage to the flames I know to exist and act big But no matter where I go it wont change It’s not enough, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, It’s all your fault! Ah, My hand that day Nonsense illuminating hell.

No idea what this song is about, but it's hella masterpiece (and I ain't calling any good vocaloid song a masterpiece). It has soooooo much emotion, and Kafu's voice sounds so unusual compared to happy pop songs it's used in. And the visual effects are amazing! This is going to be in my playlist of the year.

cant believe no one is mentioning vincent van gogh, this has to be inspired by him the yellow everywhere, the cut off ear?? like its a bit too similar i will say though that vincent wasnt destroyed in the pursuit of art, he used art as a way of healing and a sort of break away from his mental troubles, at least from what ive read
