限りなく灰色へ (Infinitely Gray)

“限りなく灰色へ (Infinitely Gray)” by 25-ji Nightcord de (Nightcore at 25:00) delves into the emotional turmoil of feeling insignificant and lost in a world that seems vibrant and full of potential for others. The song's protagonist grapples with a sense of inadequacy, believing they lack talent and are destined to cry forever. The blue scenery they see around them symbolizes the opportunities and vibrancy they feel are out of reach. This contrast between their gray, dull existence and the colorful world they observe highlights their deep-seated envy and despair.

The lyrics also explore the protagonist's struggle with loneliness and the desire for connection. They seek solace in the digital world, hoping to find light in the darkness of midnight. The recurring motif of rain symbolizes their ongoing sadness and the cold, unfeeling nature of their reality. Despite their wish to be strong and their attempts to express their true feelings, their voice is scattered and their loneliness is amplified. The color gray represents their faded dreams and the talents they feel are borrowed or not truly their own.

Throughout the song, there is a persistent battle against giving up. The protagonist hears voices urging them not to surrender, even though they feel lost and unable to recognize the irony of their situation. They yearn for someone to see them, to love them, and to help them escape this gray world. The song ends on a poignant note, with the protagonist tracing their blurred emotions and crying over the shape of their dreams, which remain unfulfilled. This emotional journey reflects the universal struggle of finding one's place and identity in a world that often feels indifferent and overwhelming.
