Eternal Struggle: Vulpes by Lysika Saito Unveils a Soul's Turmoil
Lyrics
The frostbite takes me whole as blood and sin coat my hands
The intense cold affects me completely, as my hands are covered in both blood and guilt.
Curled up on the bathroom floor, the moon judge takes the stands
I find myself curled up on the bathroom floor, feeling judged by the moon, symbolizing a sense of isolation or introspection.
She floats in through the window, and winds up by the shelf, says
A mysterious figure, possibly an inner voice or conscience, enters through the window and positions itself by a shelf.
"The reason you had hurt her was your strength scared yourself"
This figure suggests that the reason for causing harm to someone else was rooted in my own strength, which was frightening to myself.
Oh, I'd been walking forward, but I've not moved one inch
Despite appearing to move forward, there is a realization that no real progress has been made.
The pleasure keeps me bound and the pain just makes me flinch
Pleasure keeps me restrained, while pain causes me to react involuntarily.
I'll show you my true colors, I'll shed off this old skin
A declaration to reveal true colors and discard the old self.
Is this my enlightenment or just my giving in?
An internal struggle: questioning whether this transformation is enlightenment or a form of surrender.
I'm screaming
An expression of intense emotional distress, possibly conveyed through a scream.
Please, someone, hear
An urgent plea for someone to listen and understand.
You're laughing?
A reaction to perceived laughter, questioning why someone finds the situation amusing.
Why?
Seeking an explanation for the apparent amusement.
Nothing helps
An acknowledgment that nothing seems to provide relief or assistance.
Nobody wins
A realization that in the struggle, there are no winners; everyone loses.
You think it's an act?
Questioning whether others perceive the emotional expression as an act or a genuine experience.
Why?
Seeking understanding for the difficulty in expressing emotions accurately.
I can't express it right
Emphasizing that difficulty in expression doesn't invalidate the authenticity of the emotions.
but that doesn't mean it's fake
An appeal to stop treating the speaker in a certain way.
Stop treating me like this
Questioning the motive behind mistreatment, asking what the perpetrator has to gain.
What do you have to gain?
Expressing the perception of the sound of the other person's heartbeat, possibly suggesting a close connection.
I hear that thump of your chest through your headphones
A repetition of the difficulty in expressing emotions and a plea to stop mistreatment.
(I can't express it right, but that doesn't mean it's fake)
Reiteration of the struggle in expressing emotions authentically.
I'd love your flesh on my teeth (Stop treating me like this)
An intense desire for closeness, expressed metaphorically as wanting someone's flesh on the speaker's teeth.
I have no name so you call it out with every silence you keep
A sense of namelessness, with the speaker being called out in every silence by someone else.
