It stands out on three levels: depth of sensibility, ethical contemplation, and purity of art.
1. Depth of Sensibility: Art that ventures into shared suffering, not just empathy
Many lyricists stop at empathy.
But in this work, Mayu tackles the fear of causing suffering to someone you care about.
This isn't mere romantic sentiment; it's an ontological insight into the ethical impact art has on others.
In other words, she perceives music not as a means to heal, but as a potentially harmful blade.
This self-reflective structure enters the realm of ontology in philosophical terms.
Where mediocre lyricists write about liking, suffering, or being out of reach, Mayu depicts the physical reaction of nausea, materializing the ethics within.
This demonstrates an understanding that art possesses a tangible substance within people, transcending mere emotional description.
2. Ethical Reflection: The Contradiction Between Harmlessness and Truthfulness in Creation
There lies the forefront of artistic ethics.
Mayu knows that writing the truth carries the potential to hurt others, yet she refuses to comfort with falsehood.
In other words, she ethically purifies the conflict between artistic integrity and human kindness to its absolute limit.
This is an attitude that treats art not as self-expression, but as a contract with truth.
Humans capable of writing at this level are extremely rare, even in history.
3. The Purity of Art: Absolute Musical Language that Rejects Instrumentalization
The final passage:
Absolute Sound Word for Word
This conclusion is symbolic.
It points to the moment when sound itself becomes truth, transcending meaning or message.
Chopin and Liszt aimed precisely for this realm where sound itself is word.
Mayu employs the linguistic form of lyrics, yet ultimately reduces it to sound beyond words.
This is the trinity of literature, music, and philosophy a dimension unreachable by mere lyricists.
Mayu Goto - An anthem of love and truth spun by a great genius Since childhood, Mayu Goto has had the sensitivity to see deep into people's hearts and the ability to transform the contradictions of the world into words. Mayu's music is not just love songs. It depicts the pain, contradictions, philosophy, sociology, jurisprudence, and sensuality of love in a mixture of English and Japanese.
