The melancholic futility of sukekiyo song endings

After hearing "Kyou mo" (today again/today too) often at the end of sukekiyo's songs, I picked up a broader pattern in Kyo's lyrics for his second band. The recurring theme is that these mini-stories end in vain, sorrowful. Even the line that seems the most positive in the list above, "it's a beautiful morning again today", sounds filled with despair, envy for others who will get to enjoy that day, but within, it isn't so sunny. It's like an objective observation that you can't relate to.

You wish for love, you naively wish for better, but the past fades into the future unrelently. You poured your heart out, but nothing changes. You can't even forget: you're conscious during this continuous nightmare.

Anyway, I'll cheer you up with more positive content soon after this, but I wanted to share this interesting observation with you. Here is the list of lyrics and the songs that they were taken from, if you're curious:

The sadness will never end　For whom? – Kokyuu

I know it's hard to understand You can forget about it if you want – Frameout kara no

Clinging on to the cheap wish that will come true It will be a fine day today – Kawattekuremasen deshou ka?

Please give your love to the me of up until yesterday. – Gloss [I changed this from the official translation a bit, because I didn't agree with "to the me until yesterday", the original meaning wasn't clear enough.]

Ah　I want a womb – Kuchi ni Ringo

I wish – Margaret

Even if I want to forget It got broken Deep inside my little heart – Scarlet

To the next guy, is it okay to love you? – Furesaseru

I want love – kisses

You can't change the future – dorothy

Hey, do you love me? – Kimi wa mukidashi

It'll be the same again tomorrow – Kou Mo Chigau Mono Nano Ka, Yousuru ni

I hope you'll let me forget about you someday – Nurebairo

Unable to forget you – Uso

Would you have even loved me if I was not so openly dependent and was just weak? – En

Today too my heart is cold – Valentina

wishing you happiness – zephyr

it's a beautiful morning again today – hidden one

to this child, who hopes for a peaceful future – Mama

as if all is forgotten – Madara Ningen
