It's shocking, really. I've never heard a song more accurate and relatable to someone in depression or going through overwhelmingly dark times. The lack of breaks in lyrics combined with the only 2 breaths taken in symmetry that makes me feel a sense of urgency and an overwhelming state of mind, almost as if this isn't actually a song, but just a sudden rush of thoughts running through your mind between two breaths. "I want to live but I'm told to die" signifying how, while you're not explicitly "told to die", you certainly feel how people can mistreat you to the point of it indirectly feeling like you're told to die "I want to die but I'm told to live" feels like the opposite, to a certain extent. Like the negative experiences leading you to the edge, people are quick to kick you out of that, just to send you in a similar cycle, highlighted by the repeating of these two phrases. The repeating "I love you" is pictured as a cheap way to make someone feel less bad about themselves without ever taking the time to properly listen to one's personal struggles. 0:40 feels like the overall suppressing of one's emotions, as if they should be some executing machine with no personal feedback on how they feel, like "obediently becoming a dog" says, the requirement to obey everything without asking questions or expressing emotion. It's probably also why "I hold my breath" is constantly stressed onto the listener towards the end. It's the thought of having to shut up and move on without ever doing something about it, postponing it until it stacks other things and makes someone crumble. 0:48 this one hits hard. During my depression I've often been compared to people unknown to me in objectively worse situations, without ever taking a moment to think of how such a person might actually perceive it. It's easy for someone to say when it doesn't affect them, it's hard to hear when it really does. If someone wants to say something about it they should actually try to comfort someone in such a dire situation, not make them feel guilty about being in that situation. That is not helping, far from it. This is later similarly repeated at 1:52, this time in a more irritated and angry tone with the addition of background vocals exaggerating the feeling of frustration. 1:19 pretty well reminds that it's sometimes easier to "obligate ourselves to hold our breath" and not do anything about our problems, afraid of making things unnecessarily complicated and more stressful, especially with the wrong people. 1:46 perfectly pictures the fear of betrayal from trusted people. 2:00 desire of feeling pushed over the edge beyond the point of recovery, y'know what I mean.. 2:18 feels like we use the anonymity that our phones give us to make us "feel secure" and the sense of distraction that can be achieved from them. This song is truly amazing. From every way I try to look at it, it has so much weight to it, even more so to people who've been in such dark and tough situations.

not just depression, but for other people’s experiences or challenges as well; for me, this resonated deeply with me with trying to get trans hrt as a minor. i would be forced to tell my family in order to get it anyway, but it would be so easy for them to shrug it off as “teenager phase, irrational decisions” so i had to prove that I had emotional intelligence, wisdom learned, heard of every other person’s own experiences then, came legal trouble; you cant get hrt in texas as a minor i kept myself from beating myself up over it, but i wasn’t going to “hold my breath till 18” when time will march endlessly through my boy puberty so i found a solution; transdiy but now that solution needs to be discussed again with my family, who have their own worries and concerns, who don’t see how i’ve applied all my wisdom into helping myself not hold my breath, the importance of hrt im so ditzy and dizzy personality wise and i should be able to worry about normal things i shouldn’t have to decide “i need a part-time job” to pay for my hrt “selfishly” it can be seen that i just want my more than capable financial family to pay for my medication for trans hrt its all so overwhelming. all the research, counterpoints comebacks to explain i would love someone to talk to aha, my dizzy cord night cord taggy is galaxychoke ciao ciao thank yous for reading

excellent dissection.....i felt the same way on the feeling of the song.....and your points corroborate this....especially the indirect part....as its well known in japanese culture that people that act/look in a different way(mr goat man) is indirectly ostracized by the community as a whole....almost like a cult(as shown above)....and it gets vicious and direct when these people hide behind anonymity aka social media...as they arent afraid to tell someone to end it all....the song is the mostly about the strictness about japanese culture and the need to obey or else....but the nice thing about it is it can relate to so many different things and people that its genius...as so many miku songs have done

This is a deep interpretation. I was able to develop deep empathy for depression. Thank you.
Sorry for the language barrier here, but to clarify I think the song title doesn't have anything to do with "noblesse oblige". The term noblesse oblige literally translates out to nobles obligation in French. The term non in this context also taking the French into account means no. That's pretty obvious and I don't think that mixed you up at all but put together the full title roughly translates to No breath obligation or no obligation to breathe. Which really makes more sense ultimately but also give a bit of a heavier tone than one might expect

@@ithomas7788 My opinion is this song title focus on the part of "No breath obligation" the whole of lyrics are writing about it's forced to live stuffy society, and this song is sang by vocaloid (they don't breathe). At the same time, there's slightly connected to "nobles" so it's little a bit confusing. sorry for my bad English

@@ithomas7788 it totally sounds like the French. Being able to feel love in a world of Love™ is a blessing, and in my experience can hurt people who see or hear about it and don't know the feeling. This is a privileged blessing which implies responsibility. They're alone together at the end, and can finally breathe. OP is correct.
Three things about the song that no one noticed: 1. "Non-breath oblige" sounds like a french proverb, "Noblesse oblige", which can be translated as "Nobility oblige" and means that a noble has to follow some values and rules to be a noble. But here, the character isn't obligated by "Noblesse", but by "Non-breath": he isn't constrainted at the top of the society, but struggled at the bottom. (I know french, and if take care about it, you listen clearly "Noblesse oblige", it's surprising how it fits perfectly ! But this proverb is very rare, and I don't know how Pinocchiop could know it...) 2. The main character is draw as a goat, not really because he follows the flock, but because he is a "scapegoat": everyone abuse of him, such as some other people in the society. This is these people which "can't breath". And by definition, a scapegoat is mistreated for no reason: in fact, he is sensitive, open-minded, smart and, in my opinion, he could live better if only the society allowed it. 3. At 1:26 , we see the scapegoat holding his breath, and then we see flashing colors. Indeed, holding his breath a long time makes us see some hallucinations, like this. So, these colors have a sense: the character can't breath, and he is going to hallucinate, and will die soon if nothing help him. It is maybe what happened at 2:45 , when the halluciations intensifies and he close his eye.

creo que está supuesto a ser la presión social de actuar positivo y apreciar lo bueno de la vida-- no reclamar sobre tus problemas, aunque estés en un mal estado mental yo no lo había pensado, pero tienes razón, el coro suena como muchas personas presionando a alguien
i really appreciate a song about depression in relation to the greater world and it’s effect on our depression. i feel a lot of people who make media about depression focus too much on feelings of self hate, but truthfully the current state of our world is definitely the reason our mental health is suffering at such high rates. the feeling of how big the world and it’s issues are can be absolutely suffocating when youre just one person in it. it’s exhausting and traumatizing to exist in the world as it is today. 0:48 and 1:53 stand out to me because it reminds me of the people who will demean your experience with mental health just because you live comfortably and have the bare minimum, ignoring how that just makes us feel guiltier and less worthy of our lives. why should i, of all the suffering people in the world, get to live with a roof over my head and food on the table? there are millions of people you need it more and deserve it more than i do. its just really powerful and i havent seen enough people mention it. (Edit Oct 2024) I still cry over this song every time i watch this music video. I think what ive come to realize over the course of this US election cycle is how much empathy i feel for the wider american populace. Its easy to feel like the opposing political side is unempathetic and idiotic, but in the end, we're all just people who are scared, tired, and in pain. Many of us have the misfortune of dealing with even more pain in addition, but even those who feel the least of the pain are still hurting. we long for connection, peace, and contentment, but then we're told the opposite side wants to disrupt that goal, despite them wanting the same thing. The reality is that we've been made to fight to distract us from the wider societal issues that only billionares and politicians have the real power to change. It would cost them money if we all decided to fight back and force them to instill that change, and nothing's scarier to an elite than losing money and power. You who's reading this, i am a human being putting my thoughts out into the world, and you are the human being reading it on the other side of the screen. we want the same thing. we know each other's hurt. We can build community again, and we will. dont isolate yourself for too long, please. it'll get better.

MV中の「息が詰まる(繰り返し)」と「息を止める(繰り返し)」のシーンで、主人公が祈っているまわりをカラフルに輝く魂のようなものが飛び交っているけれど、 これはおそらく、世界の人々に対する主人公の気持ちを表していて、主人公に「息が詰まる」と思わせ、「息を止めることを強制する」人たちを、それでも主人公が愛している(I Love you.)ことが表現されているんだと思う。 MVも含めたこの曲の深さに改めて胸を打たれる
