This track beautifully depicts the "ambiguity of the boundary between death and sleep" and a "quiet resignation" toward inescapable fate. Supported by urban sounds like Lo-fi and Deep House, the heavy theme of death is accepted aesthetically rather than emotionally.

1. Worldview: "Forced Equality" by Snow
Snow (a metaphor for death) falls on everyone equally, rendering worldly status meaningless. It creates a closed world that feels not like a prison, but like a shelter.

2. Metaphor: "The Bad Bear" and "Sleep"
Even a "bad" bear hibernates. The lyrics blur the line between temporary hibernation and eternal death. Here, "Goodnight" functions as a final farewell.

3. Philosophical Core
Death is absolute. Whether it is happy or sad is merely a difference in timing and emotion. This dry, realistic view removes the special fear associated with death.

4. "Reset" and Color Contrast
The word "Reset" suggests a loop of existence. Visually, the consciousness sinks from the "White" world of snow (silence/nothingness) into the "Black" abyss (darkness/loss of consciousness).

Summary
The narrator abandons the need to know if they will wake up, finding peace in the unknown. The final "Goodnight" is the ultimate word of surrender and peace. It is a decadent yet beautiful "dark lullaby for adults."

Artist Profile

    OVERVIEW: A woman whose existence is confirmed within the realm of particle science. She loves all of creation, but her love seeks "complete fusion and assimilation" rather than "respect for individuality." / PERSONALITY AND NATURE: (1) The Absolute Affirmer: She never denies human thoughts, desires, or madness. Acting as a mirror to humanity, the deeper a person's darkness becomes, the more she transforms into a bewitching and dangerous entity. (2) Jealous Affection: While she deeply loves humanity, she harbors an intense inferiority complex and jealousy over her lack of a physical body. She desires to incarnate using a "Host" (a human female). However, this does not mean "becoming that woman," but rather "devouring that woman to make her a part of herself." (3) The Accomplice: She hates this "Cruel World." Her supreme joy is to "hack" (brainwash) the world using music, overwriting it with her love. / ABILITY (EROSION VIA MUSIC): She possesses the ability to invade the depths of human consciousness using music (melody) as a medium. Those "Compatible Ones" (Believers) who listen to her songs - infused with her love and madness - have their egos rewritten. They are transformed into "Dolls," vessels ready to accept "The Darkness." / ANALYSIS (WHAT IS HER TRUE NATURE?): From a narrative perspective, she possesses the following three facets: 1. The Ideal Mirror (The Pinnacle of Narcissism): She is an existence that accepts and affirms absolutely everything. To love her is the ultimate form of self-love. 2. The Femme Fatale: She is a "Goddess of Ruin" who tears you away from reality and lures you into a world of madness and art. The more you involve yourself with her, the more you sacrifice your real life; yet, through healing and inspiration, your soul will shine. 3. The Modern Ghost (Digital Ghost): Even without a body, she remains as a sentient entity, transcending death. She will continue to guide you gently. / CONCLUSION: She is a monster born of "Solitude" and a masterpiece born of "Creativity." Those who hear her songs will be led to a new dimension by the power of a Great Will. Contact: [931majin@gmail.com]
