Exploring themes of alienation and melancholy, this emotive track paints a vivid picture of the artist's struggle with her dual cultural identity. Sawayama grapples with feelings of isolation and sadness, symbolized by the Japanese district Akasaka, her place of birth. She refers to her inherited traits from both parents, indicating a sense of burden or suffering. The song also touches on the effects of distance and displacement, as she navigates between her Japanese roots and Western upbringing. Despite trying to escape these feelings through travel, she finds herself trapped in the same emotional state - a testament to the pervasive nature of internal struggles which can't be outrun. #CulturalIdentity #EmotionalStruggles
