/lain/ - lain (レイン)

It sounds like it could be a song about heartbreak, from a female perspective.

>And you don't seem to understand
Here the singer is highlighting a disconnect between her and her lover. There is something that he "[doesn't] seem to understand". The immediate interpretation of this casts the singer or some aspect of her personality as the thing which seems not to be understood.

>A shame, you seemed an honest man
This implies betrayal or deception of some kind, and expresses regret at the loss of the honest man she thought she had.

>And all the fears you hold so dear/Will turn to whisper in your ear
The contradiction hear is one that is likely to slip past unnoticed for the first few listenings – wait, why would fears be dear to someone? This implies some kind of instability within the man – possibly denial, possibly escapism, possibly self-hatred, possibly an entire constructed reality demarked by fears at every border. The imagery of "fears … [whispering] in your ear" suggests delusion, and opens up an alternative interpretation of the first line – perhaps the thing he doesn't understand is himself. This interpretation de-emphasizes the identity of the singer by removing a reference to her own emotional needs, making the signer more Lain-like, more detached from reality yet omnipresent within reality, but if we were a normalfag listening to this on the radio, we wouldn't know that.

>And you know what they say (I*) might hurt you
The singer could be saying two different things here: "And you know what they say might hurt you" (i.e. sticks and stones) or "And you know what they say, I might hurt you". This is a powerful double meaning: it means either they might hurt you and I will try to protect you from them, or that I might hurt you and that they are trying to protect you from me. In the context of a breakup, this makes sense.
>And you know that it means so much
"It" could be our relationship – perhaps that's what is going to be damaged by either "what they say" or me.
>And you don't even feel a thing
This could imply callousness or depressed emotional numbness. Alternatively, by contrast between the two lines, it could again imply some kind of denial.

>I am falling, I am fading
>I have lost it all
This reminds us of the singers humanity and needs, emphasizing her identity and expressing the feelings of heartbreak rather than suppressing and denying them.

>And you don't seem the lying kind
>A shame that I can read your mind
The logical connection here is pretty obvious – I didn't think you were the type to lie, but I can read your mind, so I can see that you're lying to me, or at least trying to. The singer clearly knows her lover well enough to tell that he's not holding up his end of the bargain somehow.
>And all the things that I read there
>Candle-lit smile that we both share
But she still knows he treasures the memories of the good times they had together.

>And you know I don't mean to hurt you
[by leaving you]
>But you know that it means so much
>And you don't even feel a thing
Note a key difference between here and end of the previous verse – "but" instead of "and". You know that I don't mean to hurt you, but you know that our relationship is important, and you don't even feel a thing. If we associate these two lines and apply the "but" to them both, the "but" becomes applied to the contrast between the fact that he knows that it means so much and the fact that he doesn't even feel a thing. Rephrased, the lyrics read, "Even though you know that I don't mean to hurt you, you acknowledge the meaning of our relationship, yet don't even feel a thing." The word "but" contrasts this statement with its inverse, which would be that he would either feel something, or fail to acknowledge the meaning of the relationship and justifiably not feel anything. Perhaps this is what's tearing the relationship apart.

>I am falling, I am fading
>I am drowning, help me to breathe
The addition of the line "help me to breathe" suggests a reluctance to let go of the relationship, and a fear of the void that the relationship will leave when it is gone. It humanizes the singer further, turning from a simple expression of needs to an outright plea for help.
>I am hurting, I have lost it all
>I am losing, help me to breathe
The usage of the words "losing" and "lost" further drive home the investment the singer had in the relationship, and how much of a loss it is that the relationship is ending.

Whew. I think that's enough rapgeniusglitterboyry for me for a day.

This song comes to mind but I am not comparing the two. Duvet is always in my playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1XWJN3nJo

Breakup song.
