"Furiwoshita" (ふりをした。) is a song by Japanese artist Eve. The lyrics portray a sense of hiding one's true feelings or putting on a facade, and the struggle of wanting to be accepted and acknowledged for who they really are. The song begins by expressing the feeling of wanting to hide or bury something from the past. The narrator avoids admitting it and tries to turn away from it. They wonder how they can consume or use up their excessive energy, while their daily life becomes routine and stagnant. Despite saying that it doesn't mean anything, deep down, the narrator desires to become the person everyone wants to be. They dream of a future where they can be the protagonist in their own story. However, they feel trapped and find themselves gossiping about others from the sidelines, realizing that they can never be like anyone else. The chorus reflects the melancholy of the lyrics, where the narrator mentions that the future of words is falling. They feel like they unintentionally hurt others without understanding why, hoping that someday they can laugh and come together. They plead for someone to notice them as they are and fear that today will take them away. The second verse continues the theme of hiding and avoiding acknowledging the true ending of the story. The narrator finds themselves struggling to breathe as they refuse to face the deeper parts of their heart. They are always filled with emotions and never able to stop and rest. The bridge of the song provides a ray of hope, with the lyrics saying that they want to become someone who can save others and be the prayer they need. They express the desire to overcome difficulties and dance in intoxication. They mention that there is a guiding voice that reaches their ears in the darkness, and they have found a light to gaze upon. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the falling future of words and the hope of eventually being able to laugh and connect with others. They state that they don't need difficult words, as they empty themselves and show their true emotions. They ask for someone to notice their true feelings and show their smiling and crying face. Overall, "Furiwoshita" represents the struggles of hiding true emotions and the desire for acceptance and connection. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a future where they can be themselves and find happiness.
