This song is an expression of resistance against the modern-day "good behavior" that constantly demands easy answers and immediate punchlines.

Instead of hiding the "madness" or "interests" within me that fall outside the bounds of common sense, I chose to decorate them with mascara and wear them with pride. I deliver this message through intricate wordplay and a slightly unsettling, alternative sound. With a heavy bassline and descending, ominous melodies, I focused on translating a sense of "discomfort" into a raw form of rock.

Artist Profile

  • Nananaman

    Nananaman is an artist who weaves between music and words to create works that linger quietly in everyday life. His songs capture small moments of unease and subtle shifts of feeling - the thoughts that spiral when we overthink, or the details that shouldn't matter but still stick in the mind. Rather than amplifying these fragments into something grand, he embraces their "smallness" as they are. The result is music that leaves a quiet afterglow, blending naturally into daily life. Drawing inspiration from rock, progressive music, funk, and hip-hop, Nananaman develops his sound around his voice and lyrics. He also writes essays and short poems, and the sensibility of his writing naturally flows into his musical expression. His voice is gentle to the ear yet carries a lasting presence. Listeners who experienced his EP described it as "a sense of the everyday and the contemporary," "a coexistence of looseness and inner strength," and "a curious balance that never overwhelms." These impressions highlight the unique charm of his work - both approachable and refreshingly new. His music is available on streaming platforms, and lyric videos are shared on YouTube, where he continues to shape his world through not only sound and words but also visual expression.
