[allergic-to-four-leaf-clovers]

hey y'all so. the english cover of bitter choco decoration by Rachie. uhhh so i kinda analyzed it and came up with my interpretation of this song and more so this specific translation for some reason but, I don't think it'd change much with any other translation of bitter choco decoration. anyhow (this is copied from me talking about it to a mutual, except with some additions)

okay so my interpretation of this song is to highlight the unrealistic expectations and standards people have of someone in society, and that belief that they should act like this ultimately makes them lose their autonomy (?) / individuality in the process of striving to be like everyone else.

the lyrics frequently talk about what somebody does to act like a good person in polite society, but some of the lines afterwards are contradictory to the previous one, implicating that the so-called 'guide' to being a good person is literally impossible to fully achieve despite the pressure to do it all, aka finishing the plate of food. the food can be interpreted as a metaphor of these rules in society, and as the song progresses, the plate gets emptier until the food is finished entirely. the concept of the mc (I'll just call them that) being a picky eater could be interpreted as them struggling to fit into society because they don't seem to like following these rules; obviously, this changes as the song progresses.

the masked people *giving* the food could be role models or generally just people enforcing these rules, hence them bringing out the plate multiple times so the mc can finish it. or, as another interpretation, the line "hey mom, look at me now" could mean the veiled person is a parental figure pushing their beliefs onto their child?

nearing the end, when the meal is finished, therefore the mc has stopped their picky-eating habit of not fitting in with polite society, it cuts to the mc holding a platter of food. this can symbolise the infinite cycle of people putting pressure on others to act in a way that pleases them, thus making them believe that this is how everyone should act, and enforcing it on other people. they've also lost more colour in their appearance, symbolizing their loss of self (?) as they moulded themself to follow these rules

the lines about wanting to be a younger child again, along with a line about dreams being tossed aside, could hint to the fact that as someone gets older, the more these rules are forced upon them. it also literally does say about giving up feelings in the process of becoming like everyone else, also hinting to the mc holding the platter of food like the veiled figures because they've masked themself as the ideal member of society.

tl;dr people pleasing at it's finest
