神山羊 – CLOSET【Music Video】/ Yoh Kamiyama – CLOSET

A long English comment with an interpretation of the song no one asked for? Don't mind if I do. cackles

The song repeatedly references "A voice calling from outside the door" while later in the song switching it up to be talking in the first person "knocking on the small rooms door" and "Holding out a trembling hand until I touch you" so that got me thinking… I ended up taking this to mean that the voice the child in the room is hearing calling from outside the door is actually his own but older after some time has passed. If we add in the flower color meanings with red tulips symbolizing "love" and also carry the meaning of "believe me" while the blue tulips mean "tranquility and peace" or in this case peace of mind. Since blue tulips when given to someone can change meaning "trust and loyalty" my interpretation turns out a bit different. XD

I think this is someone who was very different from others around him as a child in one way or another. Not as smart, not as physically capable, maybe they had a disability, or came from a home with only one parent etc. You name it and it could fit in here really as long as it's not a life circumstance everyone would have. Anyways to me it felt like whatever is different about the child in this song made him feel embarrassed to the point of not wanting to be seen and considered decidedly "other" and that effected how they interacted with others and may have even messed with the formation of their attachment style.

This seems like the child became a shut in (fitting for the pandemic) that could only watch/imagine others going out together but sitting alone being envious and jealous to the point of wishing to break what they themselves can't seem to have while also being afraid hence hiding in their closet where they feel safest. It's common while young to not have a proper sense of proportion emotionally with a mistaken impression that they are the ONLY ONE like this or the ONLY ONE suffering unlike everyone around them.

The first lines of the song says "I want to become like you" is "muttered to myself" so it seems like the childish younger self or inner child who would still care about "cookies gone cold" is imaging what they would be like when they are older or their situation was better off while using pencils to draw all over the closet walls and illustrate their head cannon. The somewhat androgynous nature could be because more masculine features wouldn't take root until the child is older so they may not yet know what to imagine so they draw themselves with longer hair and just a bit taller. Since they stay holed up inside even if they want to change they can't because they don't go out so the "It can't start, I don't know, I won't love another" in the lyrics makes sense since they have yet to head back out into the world and make a connection with another person. Being unable to connect with or learn from others stunts their development which causes them a lot of emotional pain they find unbearable that "decides their life" in a way they question due to a lack of understanding. They also seem to have no one trust worthy they can talk to about their situation since they mention in the lyrics having to shut their mouth to the point of feeling like the unsaid words choke them without what they wanted to communicate ever making it's way to the intended recipient.

Ripping the wings off of the other faeries who trample the blue flowers would be because of people seemingly betraying the trust placed in them by the child and still being able to go on about their day freely without a care or repercussions, which salts the wound, because the experience was nothing special to them. So the child takes that to heart as they themselves nothing special to the other parties and because they are nothing special self-blaming until they have a poor sense of self-worth ending up unable to hold red flowers to himself because as he is… he's become unable to love himself just yet. That's something that gets better with time as we get older, more confident, and come to care a lot less about what other people's opinion(s) as we become the people we want to be without shame. After getting older and wiser it's a common sentiment to want to go back and tell ones child self "it will be alright" symbolized by the other winged version giving the younger one red tulips and saying you/we are loved more than once with varied levels of success as the song progresses. Like they will be able to accept everything for what it was eventually when they got older so they will keep trying to give red tulips (love) to their younger self until any past trauma over negative experiences is worked through and overcome. I also feel like this is why the first time the wings are jealously ripped off the adult self/form just laughs indulgently through it like they are confident it's not an issue enough to take it almost like an immature adorable outburst from their younger self. It reminds me of a "helpless laugh" some people will make when they know their child is acting up but ultimately can't help but to find it cute. The lyrics then mention the passage of time again aka the child version starting to grow up so the second time the winged adult self just sits still, as if waiting, and lets the child form take it's wings in a sense giving them to it's child self to help them overcome the current stalemate before falling asleep with the torn wings attaching to their child self's back. The adult self also seems to melt into a field of red tulips around them afterwards as if to say in the present/future you have become me, I/we have obtained the same sense of freedom we used to envy, I will surround us with love, and we will be able to trust enough to accept that love in spades.

Ultimately I took this to be a song about personal growth and acceptance. What little Japanese I managed to pick up is very incomplete so the chance I understood something improperly is high but I think I like this meaning for the song best and will stick with it regardless. IDK I used to really like finding dark quiet places to hide out as a kid whenever I was sad or scared which could just be me so take my text wall with a grain of salt.

wow

Creio que a mensagem do MV se trate de algo que o garoto perdeu, ou possivelmente alguém tirou dele… O que é representado pelas asas, que essa garota(supondo que seja uma garota) acabou tirando isso dele, e ele quer de volta, mas sente que ao mesmo tempo isso também a pertence, e ele não consegue se livrar dela por causa disso, é uma dependência emocional forte e um relacionamento tóxico (meu ponto de vista)!

당신처럼 되고 싶었어
혼잣말을 중얼거리는 동안
나도 모르게 식어버린
홍차와 쿠키

문 밖에서 소리가 나서
어느덧 이유도 잊고
닿지 않는 그 말
목을 짜네는 거야
왜

대답 같은 건 가지고 있지 않아
그런거

대체적으로 정답 같은 건 재미없대
그렇지

변덕스러운 탓에 그건 기분 탓
가만히 있으면 희생 되어갈 뿐

closet

시작하지 않으면
아무것도 몰라
또 하나 사랑하지 않아

closet

틀리지 않아
어떻게 할 수가 없어
아픔의 그 끝을

(간주중)

당신처럼 되고 싶었어
혼잣말을 중얼거렸어
나도 모르는 사이에 지루해졌어
후회도 전부

문 밖에서 소리가 나서
어느덧 이유도 잊고
도움이 되지 않는 그 말에
호되게 야단 맞고 사는 거야
왜

몇 번이고 기다렸는지 알아
생존본능이래 '이해해'를 하고 있는

익고 있는 욕설 빼앗고 있는 개성
썩어빠진 일본 제의 미친 짓
빈둥빈둥 계속되는 나날의 이동

closet

소용없어
아무것도 할 수 없어
단 하나 조차

closet

틀리지 않았어
정말 시답잖아
아픔의 그 앞에

작은 이 방문을 두드리는
모르는 거리로 데려가는
떨리는 손을 앞으로 내밀고

당신을 만질 때까지

closet

yellowであったクローゼット～以下略～想像容易い安全がこれだとしたら小さな身体ただ寄せあってというのは、蝶の羽が生えたあの少女なのかな

Русские тут?

Hoy hace un año, aun me acuerdo salir corriendo del cole para escuchar la canción lo más rapido posible, ese día hacia mucho sol y yo me habia olvidado los cascos 😛
