I grew up listening to this song maybe hearing it for the first time not too long after it released. I was very young and impressionable and full of thoughts and doubts about the world and the people around me I wasnt really sure of anything. Around that time I wouldve been in late middle school or early high school having few friends little people to talk to and only online communities and media as well as books to really interest me. I think I didnt fully understand this song when I was young it didnt make a lot of sense to me. I remember reading comments stating that it was about suicide or tragedy along those lines and maybe in a way it was Im still not sure. I only really remember this then indescribable emotion the song gave me. The relatively monotonous singing of Mikus in the video the simple inoffensive sound of it. It comforted me greatly. The lyrics were confusing and I know back then I loved confusing things I was a silly little kid who wanted to know more about the world so things I didnt understand pleased me greatly. I mustve listened to this song mesmerized by its simple and cute video countless times. Today probably about 8 years later I decided to rewatch this video give it my full attention and sing along with Miku of course. Today I can tell you exactly why this song meant so much to me then and why it means even more to me now. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/684581463936598057/785068786960564245/HatsuneMikuStrobeLightEnglishRomajiSubYouTube110.jpeg Im looking for meaning in life. The lyrics arent as hard to understand as I remembered at all maybe I was just stupid. No I was childish I couldnt understand this song because I think to understand this song I needed to be older. This song is about or at least what I feel it is about is finding a reason to live. In a subconscious way I probably understood this to a degree as a child and as someone who at the time didnt really have a reason to live I marveled at it. The part of this song that I couldnt really understand was the latter half. After Mikus train ride she is now older most likely by several years if my interpretation of the MV is correct she opens the old door to her past selfs room though the little cats dont seem to want her to. As the lyrics state: Now what you were seeing is your own self facing yourself on that day. Shes revisiting her past her past thoughts her past self. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/684581463936598057/785069538211004416/HatsuneMikuStrobeLightEnglishRomajiSubYouTube255.jpeg I walk because I was born. Miku doesnt seem to think that she has changed much at all though she remarks that so much has happened. At the end of the sequence the past Miku is once again presented with two doors the door to the future and the door to the past. The final lyrics to the song If I can put into words every second Ive lived I should be able to start walking again.... Like you did one day I have trouble still interpreting. I take it to be something personal to the creator of the song Powapowap who is no longer with us having died in 2015 in from what I understand an unknown way. I understand at the minimum the core of what these lyrics represent however. This song is about hope and about finding meaning and today I know that that was what the indescribable emotion I got from this song in the past was. Miku has perhaps not truly found meaning by the end of this song but nonetheless throws herself into the future quite literally and hopes that she should be able to start walking again to move forward so to say. I know this review is a little silly so many thoughts about such a short piece of media but it has touched me more than most media Ive consumed throughout my life. The lost feeling that so many of us share as a child I didnt know if it was normal or not beautiful art like this helped me understand this melancholy and today I hold great nostalgia for it. I still only really walk because I was born and I think thats okay. The world is something worth walking on. Every moment I spend feeling this great silly sense of being lost is interrupted with things like this that show me the beauty of the world. Its not necessary to understand where youre going nobody is truly going anywhere all that matters is that you go. Go anywhere see the world look at art. Thank you for reading my review it means a lot to me that others are seeing these words and I hope you got something out of it. Im glad to be alive sharing my silly thoughts and feelings with the world. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/684581463936598057/785070793112682516/HatsuneMikuStrobeLightEnglishRomajiSubYouTube404.jpeg
