This track is a stinging satirical blues song that challenges the contemporary intellectuals and commentators who use knowledge and titles to cover up their insecurity, essentially demanding they confront the "ignorance of their knowledge."
The opening heavy guitar riff and blues harp express the rage directed at the discourse space filled with hollow words. The song sees through the pretense of those who speak loftily, recognizing their supposed intelligence as mere "second-hand knowledge" and a "castle built on sand."
It mocks the pride of the "cowards" who believe admitting they don't know something constitutes a loss. The song dismisses both liberals and conservatives as "lonely people" who find comfort only in mutual derision.
The core of the chorus lies in the challenging phrase, "Kore shiru ni arazu" (This is not true knowledge). It advocates for the importance of humility, arguing that to genuinely seek knowledge, one must bow one's head, wrestle with doubt, and embrace shame.
The wild and emotional guitar solo articulates a lament for the "humility" lost in this country. This blues song is a potent strike that asks what true intelligence is, urging everyone to find the "courage to know what they don't know," complete with the self-reflection: "That goes for you, and for me, too."
