Come Into The Water - A Song Analysis
Come into the Water - a song analysis
as always, please listen to the song before reading the analysis. i actually came up with this specific interpretation quite recently and it’s the first analysis that i will post while including the characters that i built it up with. also i would like to say that this post contains moriarty the patriot/yuukoku no moriarty spoilers so beware. “come into the water” this line made me used to think that this song is from a yearning merperson’s point of view, but it recently dawned upon me that this could fit a certain favourite of mine: moriarty the patriot’s william james moriarty. as we saw in the end of the anime, he jumped from the bridge, trying to kill the final devil, which is himself. this line is directed towards sherlock. he, unintentionally, wants sherlock to save him. there’s a tiny, tiny part of him that wants to still live, and that part is the one that’s saying this line. “you look so good, but i keep my hands 'til you come into the water” he’s simply just admitting that he likes sherlock, and that he wants to hold him and touch him, but he knows he cannot, for many reasons at that, so he would keep his hands until he saves him, if he ever does. however, if he doesn’t, and if they were reunited in another life, they would still hold each other. ”but would you tell me if you want me?” he believes that sherlock doesn’t want him in the same way that he wants sherlock, so he asks for reassurance. do you want this? do you want me? am i what you wanted? am i really? i think that just shows that although he may seem to be confident and assured of himself, he isn’t, in the slightest. “i didn't know i had a dream, i didn't know until I saw you” he didn’t know that he could possibly have emotions like this. he didn’t know that he could love someone like this. he didn’t know he had a dream, where he lives on after his plan in that dream. i think this line also really works with the most recent (when writing this it’s the most recent) chapter in the manga, chapter 67, where liam says that before meeting sherlock, his world was colourless, and sherlock brought colour into it. he didn’t know he could even see colour or dream of seeing colour before he met sherlock. i don’t actually know how will this post be received by everyone on here, especially because i never post stuff that clearly belongs to a specific fandom, it’s usually all vague, so im a bit nervous about how will this do on here.

Kafka On the Shore - a book review
this was a very interesting read to say the very least. it was quite enjoyable and it leaves a lot of things for one to think about after they're done. i am not sure how i interpret the events that took place, seeing as some of them are realistic yet some of them are not, but, for now at least, i think that this entire story took place in a non-dream reality. this was all real in whatever universe it took place in. aside from its peculiar and weird general plot, i love the way that the characters were written. they all had something in them that did not affect the main plot line but it made them so human-like and that is why i truly appreciated the characters. in addition to all of these points, something that truly amazes me about this book and generally translated book is that the words i was reading are not written how they usually are. i mean by this that usually when things get translated, the translation cannot capture the beauty of the original words written by the author in the media's original language. it was something that added on to my enjoyment and liking to this book. anyway, i really recommend this book. though some people might find it confusing and boring. spoilers: i have seen many people who read this book saying that they didn't find any morale or any lesson learned from the story or something similar to that, i disagree. this book teaches you many things, one of which is to never get too attached to the past. i mean, look what it did to miss saeki. after her lover died, she was no longer alive. maybe physically she was alive but not mentally. she lost her will to live and just carried on as a emotionless living being. there are also many other lessons learned but this one is the one that stood out to me the most
Mystery - a song analysis
once more, please listen to the song before reading the analysis. this one’s another enemies-to-lovers song, and it’s one of my personal favourites. also i believe it’s the first song for me to analyse that is not by mitski. ‘what a mystery, that i could want you still’ the singer is now with their lover, peacefully. they used to be rivals before, and they never once even agreed, but now they’re together, now they’re partners. because of so, the singer is a bit at disbelief, that they could still want their lover, but now in a romantic sense, not a ‘i-will-have-your-head-as-a-trophy’ manner. they find it to be a mystery, but one that they’re willing to unravel and crack. ‘it’s a mystery, that i would pick you ten out of nine times’ although they’re at peace with their emotions for their partner, they still are marvelled by how they would always pick their lover of all people for anything. they don’t believe, even though they know it’s true, that they would pick their lover to be their lover even in another world or another universe. it’s a mystery, one that they will never understand, but one that does not bother them, even though they do not understand it. i don’t really have much to say for this song. it makes me very happy when i listen to it, and i appreciate the two lines that i spoke of extensively a lot.
A Study in Scarlet - a book review
the sherlock holmes series is simply a timeless mystery classic. i've read the latter books in the series, such as the adventures of sherlock holmes and the final problem as well as the majority of the short stories in the return of sherlock holmes, and all i can say is that sir doyle was a genius, but in one aspect only. he did not have a unique writing style such as poe, nor was he descriptive in his scenery like ranpo. he is simply a genius in creating so many crimes, and so many criminals, without it getting dull or repetitive. he is also a genius in characters, for all of his victims' personalities were different from one another. i feel like i am just reviewing the sherlock holmes series generally, so i shall share my opinion of this book alone. i quite liked it, much like the rest of the sherlock series, and i like how our main characters first met, as well as the mystery that they handled. overall, i would recommend this book for it's, as i previously stated, a timeless mystery classic.
Pink in the Night - a song analysis
much like my other song analysis, please listen to the song beforehand. i think this song is just yearning, and because of that, i adore it so much. “i’ve been blossoming alone over you” the singer uses this to show just how much they’ve loved their lover. a flower could take from few months to many months to bloom, to blossom. also i think they used ‘blossom’ of all words to show that the love they have for their lover is as beautiful as a flower. “i love you, i love you, i love you” the repetition means two thing; the first being that the singer is doubtful. they fear that their lover does not love them back, so they’re hesitant with their first ‘i love you’ but when they see that their lover loves them as well, they get more confident, and they tell their lover over and over how much they love them. the second thing being that they’re repeating the phrase because they just want to show their lover just how much they love them. “i could stare at your back all day” the singer cannot face their lover, and because of that, they simply stare at their back instead. one of the reasons for them not being able to face their lover is because they know that their lover does not love them back, so they cannot bare to see them. another reason is because they think that their lover is so much better, nicer, kinder, smarter, more flawless and more perfect than they would ever be, so they cannot see their face, because they think that they do not deserve to do so, so they opt for staring at their lover’s back instead. “can i try again, try again, try again” the same thing i said about the repetition of “i love you” in the aspect that kissing again and again is just to show their lover just how much they admire and adore them. they are also hesitant here, afraid that they would get rejected, that the kiss would go badly just like last time, so they ask then they get more confident when their lover agrees. i absolutely adore this song. it is just completely yearning and i totally love that.
