the first verse of giriboyās 2nd track of his new album graduation makes me really sad.
the song is namedĀ āgraduationā and itās about graduating life.Ā
this part of the first verse
weāre all going to die after today. if one of us lives, then that would be sad. we do everything we can do. steal from the convenience store and do all the things that we canāt do in our daily lives
this part really got to me because giriboy always talks about howĀ ābleakā andĀ ādesolateā the world is in his songs. and there is always one thing that keeps him going. itās usually mentioned asĀ āyouā and people think itās a girl, but giriboy did not mention that it was a girl in any interviews or anything. after [adult], I keep thinking that theĀ āyouā he talks about in his songs is his past self or something. not another person. and theĀ āthing we canāt do in our daily livesā really made me think about theĀ ābleak and desolateā world he talks about in his songs.Ā
also, he talks about his room a lot. the dirty room that he always has to clean up. and the one that he traps himself inĀ āė묓ėė¬ģ“ė°©ģź°ėģ“ā and track 7: hikkikomori also talked about the dirty room as well. i donāt know what this has to do with this but just the image that his music brings
bleak world, thing we are not allowed to do, dirty room we always have to clean, being trapped in the room
this made me really sad. not sad like crying but feeling like being unable to breathe. realizing how sad this world is.
and the first verse continues toĀ
thereās no time to act pretty, put on ugly faces and put those images in your head. record them as beautiful memories and when youāre happy about little things that you did, our last moments are completed.
putting ugly faces but recording them as beautiful memories and being happy about all the little things
this doesnāt make sense but itās what we all want to do
and at the end the song goes
i wish everything stopped as it is now. i donāt like this desolate city. i donāt like anything but you. so i chose to graduate.
iām so shocked at these lyrics and i donāt even know what to feel. itās not a bad thing, but i think i need to stop listening it for a while because it makes me really sad.
