ピカレスク (Picaresque) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse dives into feeling surrounded by empty words and hostile attitudes. The speaker contemplates fighting back with revenge but refuses to use the same tactics as those attacking him. There’s a sense of isolation and frustration with others’ shallow actions, and he questions if showing his true self makes him “bad.” Once he starts down this path of self-truth, though, he knows he can’t stop.

[Pre-Chorus]
The words here reflect an endless cycle of chaotic thoughts, actions, and conflicts. The speaker invites others to continue with their empty responses, as he feels above it, watching with confidence.

[Chorus]
The speaker desires a connection that remains even if love itself fades, and he questions if people can distinguish truth from deception by looking into his eyes.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the speaker feels broken and alone, trapped by past emotions that seem almost like a haunting. He reflects on how society often props up fake “heroes” and false justice, leaving him hoping for something real. His resilience is a ritual under the “red moon,” symbolizing his commitment to his own truth as he begins a dark new chapter, refusing to rely on a higher power.

[Pre-Chorus]
The chaotic cycle of thoughts and conflict is repeated, emphasizing the endless nature of these internal and external struggles, and the speaker’s growing confidence to face them.

[Chorus]
Once more, the speaker expresses a longing for true connection, even through dark times and judgment. He’s prepared to keep going alone if necessary, understanding the loneliness involved in staying true to oneself.
