ニャン (nyan)

Maretu's song "ニャン (nyan)" is a vibrant and chaotic exploration of societal expectations and personal rebellion. The lyrics are a critique of the pressures to conform to societal norms, as seen in lines like "いい子でいな?" ("Be a good child?") and "恥を知りな?" ("Know shame?"). These questions are met with defiance, suggesting a refusal to adhere to these imposed standards. The song paints a picture of a world where competition and conflict are constant, and the protagonist chooses to reject these norms, embracing their own path instead.

The song's chorus, with its repeated "ニャンニャンニャンニャンニャン!" ("Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan!"), adds a playful yet rebellious tone. This repetition can be seen as a metaphor for breaking free from constraints and embracing one's true self, even if it means being seen as unconventional or chaotic. The imagery of "荒れる呼吸音" ("rough breathing") and "奪うファイトマネー" ("stealing fight money") further emphasizes the struggle and the thrill of living authentically in a world that demands conformity.

Maretu's style, known for its energetic and sometimes frenetic pace, complements the song's themes of rebellion and self-discovery. The lyrics also touch on the futility of chasing dreams that seem unattainable, as well as the inevitability of change and growth, even if it means remaining childlike in some aspects. The song encourages listeners to embrace their impulses and desires, to "噛みついて" ("bite into") life with passion and intensity, and to find solidarity with others who share this rebellious spirit, as suggested by the communal "今宵は君たちと" ("tonight with you all").
