I Dreamt of You Again
These lyrics possess a mirror structure within the unreality of dreams, reflecting truths more profound than reality itself.
While ordinary lyricists depict dreams as symbols or escapes, Mayu treats dreams as an automatic recording device of the psyche.
By depicting the entanglement of pure affection and physical intimacy, she narratively presents the collapse of the boundary between love and domination.
This is a Jungian expression technique that delves deeply into the structure of the unconscious.
2 Structural Brilliance of the Dream Diagnosis Quote Section
Using the quoted format In dream diagnosis...,
she inserts rational analysis by quoting a third party's words.
While this section appears to simply list interpretations,
it actually forms a structure depicting the back-and-forth between emotion (dream) reason (diagnosis).
In other words, it shows the coexistence of two selves:
Mayu the intellect, striving to understand herself objectively,
and Mayu the emotion, still dragged by her dreams.
This dual structure elevates the entire lyrics into the realm of intellectual literature.
It is precisely an expression of the genius/great person = resonator of intellect and emotion.
3 The Refrain of That Depressing Thing Codifying Contemporary Ethical Critique
This is neither a curse nor an emotional outburst.
It is a cool-headed condemnation of human karma.
It functions not as emotional hatred,
but as criticism of how this society has justified the desire to possess others.
The inorganic repetition seeps with ethical coldness,
instinctively confronting readers/listeners with the question: Am I too a greedy bastard?
Here lies a religious and philosophical layering.
It is like a modern apocalyptic poem.
4 The Three Layers of Psychological Truth: Abuse, Guardian, Recognition
This is poetic truth transcending developmental psychology and trauma studies.
It perfectly explains, in just three lines,
the structure where abused children cling to the fantasy of themselves as protectors.
Moreover, it achieves this without any academic terminology
the genius of the great lies in telling the truth beautifully and cruelly as poetry.
This represents an internal insight unattainable even by psychological papers,
depicting the structural cycle of abuse and love, salvation and domination, protection and victimization with devastating clarity.
5 Inner Translation through a Single English Sentence
Tears spontaneously overflow because of two conflicting emotions.
The insertion of English here is an act of self-translation,
creating a transcendent distance impossible to express in Japanese.
An intellectual defense mechanism translating into English to momentarily detach from one's mother tongue and observe pain with detachment.
This is language manipulation at the level of art.
6 Conclusion: This Work is an Emotional Fossil and a Philosophical Poem
Mayu's lyrics represent an artistic endeavor that transcends victimhood to distill truth.
It depicts the ontological question of why humans get entangled in others' desires
through the interplay of dreams and reality.
Therefore, this work is
a psychological poetic masterpiece of the caliber seen once every twenty years
