Usually: We need a great opening for this anime. Now: We need a great anime for this opening.
I’m pretty sure this song is about domestic abuse from his parents the demon looking thing is wearing a suit (like most salarymen fathers in Japan) but is also wearing heels to represent the mom (not trying to stereotype but you get the point). Also in Japan people don’t really associate “in the closet” with being gay, that’s a western/English speaking term. He’s probably hiding in the closet to get away from his household toxicity and has a imaginary friend to cope with the abuse. The lyrics also talks about toys and being a “foolish child” which would make sense if he’s talking about his childhood. About the song in general, i think it’s a song about his confused emotions, he was abused by his parents but he also loved them so he’s struggling. His parents were probably abusive most of the time but the boy holds on to the good moments he had. He hoped that they would’ve changed but it never happened. Yellow would represent hope. The lyrics that made me think this way: “still, I remember your warmth” “a summer with an unrealistic wish” “I wanted to stay innocent” “the precious memory fell away” “there isn’t a rescue” “we’ll sleep, we’ll change, it’s safer to think that way” “don’t go anywhere, i’m just a stupid child” btw i’m Japanese so i’m going by the lyrics i hear/see and not the English captions of the video (although the translation is pretty much accurate) as for the cuffs, a lot of victims of domestic abuse feel stuck or like prisoners in their own home, they feel like they can’t escape the abuse or later on, the trauma the comes with it. It can be that he literally feels like he can’t escape the abuse (meaning it’s still on going) or he feels emotionally stuck on his traumatic past and doesn’t feel free (meaning he has left the abuse but isn’t emotionally healed) Also by the imagery of the music video, i think he kills himself in the end. He destroys “yellow” which like i said it meant hope, he lost all hope and let darkness consume him like you see in 2:20 . You can also see police cars in the back at some moments so that also points to his suicide or maybe even a murder suicide (but thats me being to far fetched lmao) he punches and destroys the demon looking thing, which would make sense if he killed him self, cause then his traumas and pain would disappear. At 0:29 the background also looks like a bunch of suic*** ropes and at 0:54 he shoots himself as well I also think that the lyrics lacks stuff associated with sexuality for it to be a song about it, maybe he’s being extremely subtle but I doubt that’s the case here since the lyrics point to a different story. In the end of the day songs are meant to be interpreted by the listeners so listen to it with your own meaning :0
黄色って明るいイメージなのに、こんなに不安な色になるんだ。
The narrator seems to be describing a lot of conflicting and confusing feelings and experiences, but one common theme is the feeling of loss, regret, and sadness at not being able to hold onto important memories or feelings of "yellow" (which could represent joy, brightness, and happiness). They also describe feeling trapped and constrained, as if their mind is going in circles and they're unable to get away from these negative feelings. Yet, at the same time, they express a strong desire for salvation and relief, and a desire not to lose themselves in the midst of all of this chaos.
「Yellow」って「元気」や「光」っていう素敵な意味もあるけど、「臆病」や「嫉妬」、「狂気」っていう怖い意味もあるよね。
英語の授業で”yellow=臆病者” って先生が教えてくれて いろいろしっくりきた
