Until You Forgive Yourself

Anger, sadness, jealousy, and fear are not flaws to erase. They may be proof that we are alive.

"Until You Forgive Yourself)" is a Japanese pop-rock single by Yoshifumi Miyano about reclaiming the parts of ourselves we hide in order to fit in. Moving from the everyday pressure of phone calls and task lists to images of a suffocating aquarium, receding waves, and a timid animal, the song turns suppressed emotion into a guide toward self-acceptance. It closes at daybreak, with a deep breath and the resolve to face the future in one's own voice.
