This song and lyrics are great!!! Also, yeah you may need to watch it once more or twice to understand the story. But, simply this is a man who has no one. No other soul in his life other than his pet cat. He loved his pet cat, she filled his void. Eventually, he got the sense his beloved pet didn't love him as much. Eventually, fear and paranoia got the better of him. That turned to anger. He killed his pet, after the accident he attempted suicide. Failing and falling, he passed out. Most likely the video is his delusional dream from his failed attempt. He woke in the morning, having to face what he's done. Obviously at this point, the strange red and black persona is to represent his cat. With all this in mind, hopefully everything becomes a lot clearer.
The man is Ai, while the cat is named Aru. The title also translates to "Ai and Aru's misunderstanding". The human form Aru takes throughout the video is a youkai, and Aru haunts him for what he did. He tries to make Ai remember what he did throughout the video, and once that happened (2:56) it resulted in youkai Aru's death. Ai suffers from multiple mental illnesses and addictions, as seen through the pills, smashed bottles and cigarettes. Aru seems to recognise one of his spirals/panic attacks as seen in 1:41. These are all details, and while they change a bit of the story, it's really about the perspective.

I love comments like these on music videos, especially when the description doesn't have the lyrics written out (sure, it's linked, but I'm on mobile and I like to read the lyrics as I'm listening)
the only regret i have whilst listening to this song is not being awake to listen to it before. oktavia out here just single-handedly curing my depression like she's some kind of goddess. also that range never ceases to amaze?? how do you hit those notes??? and those translyrics??? wow sis i'm Q U A K I N G
the way the lyrics for the chorus are so witty like you might not realize the double meaning behind "i knew you never loved me. i knew but mistakenly believed." until you reach the last chorus because obviously there's the meaning of 'i knew you never loved me, but i still believed that you did no matter how false that delusion was because i needed your love so badly.' but then Ai (and the audience) realize that the true delusion, the actual mistaken belief was believing that the Aru never loved Ai. "'i knew you never loved me,' i said and mistakenly believed" Ai was so convinced that Aru didn't love him, but he was wrong. we can even take it a step further and say Ai might've felt a sort of bitter smugness at being able to tell that Aru didn't love him: like he was always unloved and he can tell Aru's just another heartbreak. no exceptions. he _knows_ he's unlovable, so you can't trick him. he can only trick himself, and that's fine because at least that means he's in control. but he was wrong, and isn't that tragic? he couldn't see beyond the past pain and trauma. he couldn't see the love and its deep sincerity right in front of him. "i knew that you never loved me. i knew and mistakenly believed." now the meaning changed. 'i knew that you never loved me and i believed that, but i was mistaken. you did love me, but i was too blinded by my self-loathing to realize.' i know these are just translyrics and semantics and nuance and this and that, but these are really great translyrics and that's all i really wanted to say i just got carried away because i'm emotional and it's 4AM
Honestly what I got fromthe animation was that this guy killed his cat and hung himself due to believing that his cat didn't love him back in the same way he loved he loved it. He obviously wasn't successful since at the end the knoose was still on his neck when he woke up but within his attempt of suicide he passes out and dreams of his cat as a demonic person and possibly relives the things they did and remembers the things his cat would do or say to make it seem like it loved him although he believed that the cat didn't. I do think the cat loved him back in their own way but was unable to convey that to him so the boy went insane from feeling like he was being toyed with and killed his cat but he realized after the fact that his cat actually loved him back. It's just a theory it could be completely wrong but I just gave it a shot.🤷
Actually, when I listen to this song, I think the story is similar but not the same. I think that the boy might have come home and found his cat dead, and then tried to commit suicide. I'm looking at the lyrics, as well as the video, and in the video, it seems as if the cat is doing all the singing. But I think that there were a few days between the boy finding his cat dead, and then trying to kill himself. I think over that time, he went insane, and thought many things, and then tried to kill himself, but failed. It looks like he fashioned a noose out of the window curtains in the back, as they're all ripped, and the noose is a white fabric like them. He must have passed out, but the curtains ripped and left him on the ground next to his cat. But when he enters this dream state, I think it's the cat saying that the boy never loved him, and just used his death as an excuse to kill himself.
These are fucking great explanations and I would also like to chime in and say, that it was possible he was abandoned by people. Some of those people were probably only using him, than pushed him aside. So I can assume he was lonely and got a cat to cope with his lonilness. Maybe in his dream he saw the cat as a tormentor (bc it looked sinister in some shots) which could possibly be why it has such a demonic kind of apperance.
Lovingthe sounds Great! Imma' piece out mine too base on you guys theory. How about the guy gave up on life for he is too miserable. He planned a suicide then his cat meowed at him. Thinking the cat would be left behind after, he then popped an immoral thought that led kitty onto death. Maybe thinking, they'll be together on the other side. Then he continue to end his life but it failed for the tie is weak and hit his head which made him asleep. There, he dreamt about his cat. Those lyrics are sung by the cat thinking she got tricked and all. In the end, he woke up. He didn't die.

ive watched/listened like 40 times now n i keep forgetting to comments but GIRL THIS IS GENUINELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE COVERS U'VE DONE it's so good and i am....love.
I WOKE UP TW O MINUT ES AGO OKTAVIAAAAA THIS IS SO GOOD.... THE LYRICS... HOW YOU CAPTURED THE TONE AND FEEL OF THE RHYME IN THE ORIGINAL JP... YOUR VOCALS.... IM CRYING GOOD JOB
I honesly love this alot, it's rare for english covers of vocaloids to be actually be good because often singers (especially female) try to push their voice to the point where it strains and sounds uncomfortable even for the viewer. With your voice, it sounds natural! You have a good range! I especially love how you sung when the song picked up at the last chorus, your voice was a PERFECT amount of high !!! And the scream at the very end omg it was amazing. My only criticism is how you suddenly changed pitch at 00:39, I feel like you could of had a smoother transition than that. But overall this was really good like shiiit
holy shit wait ok shit this made me cry? im shaking? this is so amazing and better than i ever couldve expected. i love you, i love niru, i love wooma, i love miy_yuu, and just wow my heart is racing goodnight
Oktavia, Oktavia, Oktavia. This is where you strive girl! These are the songs you should be doing! Your voice is meant to range like this, not force too high. Beautifully done.
I HAD AN OBSESSION WITH NIRU KAJITSU FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND YOU DECIDE TO COVER THIS AMAZING SONG WITH SUCH A TALENTED VOICE????? OMG OKTAVIA GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!!
“Hey, what is this love in words?” Each question I’ve answered, unsure Ash, skin, swinging on a hook, I’m gonna skim when I hit the books Guess the gap in our bed tonight, Threw out the clothing tattered over time Both can’t be saved that way, so I’m going a bit insane Ah, we all are bogged, “No bother” our main aim Pretend, pretense, the same in saying “I’m laughing ‘cause I can!” And I’m too nice, I can’t deny-yaiy-yaiy You wanna claim all you need while I’m on my knees?

Hi I just found you really recently but I just cannot stop listening to your covers! Your voice is so indescribably beautiful, it’s quite the experience. Thank you for sharing it with us! It sounds like from your descriptions you’ve been having a rough time and I really hope things look up for you soon. Much love!
AAAH YESSS THANK YOU OKATAVIA I LOVE THIS SONG!! I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND WAS LIKE, "w o o m a??" this is one of my fave songs from niru kajitsu ah, and there isn't a lot of covers of it, im so so happy one of my fave people covered this!!
your cover of this song is so fuckin clean dude, idk why this dont got any more views. The raw power in your voice at the end is really icing on the cake!
holy shit holy shit!! I was listening to this a while ago hoping for a translation from anyone but I couldn't find one, and you've made a cover for this??? omg thank you!!! and your voice is as awesome as ever!
Wow, usually I’m not a fan of English covers of vocaloid songs (usually like original covers) but the translations and your voice and tone is just perfect!! 2:57 I fell in love with your style. I listened to your cover before the original song and now the original feels lacking at this part (probably due to the amazing pv). You are doing great!!
AAAAaaaAAAAaaaa. I'm cryyyying. I love it so much! I can't believe I didn't notice it any sooner. I've been waiting for this one. Such a wonderful job!
hooooooolYYYYYYYYYYYY CRRAAAAPP MY WIG IS OFFICIALLY DISINTIGRATED--- The vocals are just DIVINE, the pitch changes are just addicting to listen to. MY QUEEN, you did it again!! Bravo!
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait hold up ive been listening to yama's cover of this for so long and i just now realized you covered this too?!?!?!!?! my whole entire life is complete thank you you wonderful woman update 2:56 g o d t i e r
Another awesome cover! It’s incredible how many different songs you’ve been able to cover, no matter what you cover it always turns out fantastic. Great job :)
This is so perfect it??? Yeah. You sound so lovely the entire time. Ugh I just wanna support you more..... Anyways, thanks for singing this, and I hope you had a fun time doing so!
I've never listened to the original before your cover, but now that I have... Your cover is still absolute perfection (though it always is, so saying that is kind of redundant haha). Seriously, how you inject so much power and emotion and beauty in your voice eludes me.
I’ve got mad goosebumps holy shittt; I genuinely can’t put into words how in love I am with this cover!!! This showcases your voice in such a different way than usual and it’s amazing By far my favourite cover of yours
I might be horribly wrong but this is a homosexual love story gone wrong, black love white but white doest want it to go that way, black had enought one day and goes mad from contant regections and prepares everithing to kill white (with poison??) whem the day comes he could not bring himself to do it and instead kill himself in front of white, he could not live any longer. White cries out to black as he dies in his arms.
I'm not sure, but I think the girl represents the boy's cat. Because cats express emotions differently than humans, the boy cannot determine if his pet really loves him, and eventually kills her, dispite the fact that she did love him, but was unable to express it like he expected. The dark imagery might then be from him interpreting her other actions as evil or demonic, such as her scratching him during play, eating smaller animals, yowling during the night, etc. There's probably an official explanation somewhere, but this is what I interpreted.
Without the video, the song is about someone pushing away someone that genuinely love him by being persuaded he have no reason to be loved. Because of that, he create reasons why the other pretend to love him while the other try his hardest to convince him their feelings are genuine and that is the reason he feel hurt when he is the one to reject it. The sex of both protagonists isn't defined in the song.
Honestly it seems to me like the producer, Niru Kajitsu, had a recent trend of songs which deal with unhealthy-ish relationships? The lyrics are reallllllly vague in Japanese so I tried to keep mine vague as well to match, but I’ve always thought this song was about some sort of toxic relationship. And thank you for listening!!
This was so good!!!!!!!!!! Definitely one I'll be listening to over and over. It suits your voice so well and you sing with an awesome intensity that fits the story.
This song and lyrics are great!!!
Also, yeah you may need to watch it once more or twice to understand the story. But, simply this is a man who has no one. No other soul in his life other than his pet cat. He loved his pet cat, she filled his void. Eventually, he got the sense his beloved pet didn't love him as much. Eventually, fear and paranoia got the better of him. That turned to anger.

These are all details, and while they change a bit of the story, it's really about the perspective.
Im at the point now where i add each video you upload to my music playlist before even watch since i already now it will be good
Richard Hardtman same. I started to make cover playlist after I watched one of her covers.
Lyrics:
“Hey, what is this love in words?”
Each question I’ve answered, unsure
Ash, skin, swinging on a hook,
I’m gonna skim when I hit the books
Guess the gap in our bed tonight,
Threw out the clothing tattered
over time
Both can’t be saved that way, so
I’m going a bit insane
Ah, we all are bogged, “No bother”
our main aim
Pretend, pretense, the same in
saying “I’m laughing ‘cause I can!”
And I’m too nice, I can’t deny-yaiy-
yaiy
You wanna claim all you need
while I’m on my knees?
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
“Hey, what is this love even worth?
You refuse it, and you’ll only be
hurt.”
Though I swung and might’ve
missed your sleeve,
I’m not a kid- don’t berate me,
please
Guess the gap in our bed tonight,
Throughout the words I coughed
up, drowned in rhyme,
Still, were bent on staying blank,
so I took a breath to take their
place
Odd, these thoughts, this painful,
paper-thin Mayday
Divine Delight, your ego gains as
three days go down the drain
And I’m too nice, I can’t deny-yaiy,
but
Soon I’ll just play rendezvous until
I kill you
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
“Hey, is this love still returned?”
Pantomime, and questions
answered, I’m sure
One more’s seething deeper down,
But I’ll only notice such a dream in
doubt
“Yes, the gap in your bed tonight
too, like your room, is where you
won’t arrive.
Look ahead at the life you’ll soon
lack!” so the anti-Amendnest
laughs*
On and on, this tipping tipsy has
made a
Goodbye goodbye, “That’s right!”
you caution, I coughed the blood
we saw
No lie, these binds, though if I die-
yaiy-yaiy
Please swallow with my riches,
ridges, written for your kiss
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
“I knew you never loved me.”
I said and mistakenly believed
I knew that you never loved me
I knew, and mistakenly believed
Thank you, I love you
I love comments like these on music videos, especially when the description doesn't have the lyrics written out (sure, it's linked, but I'm on mobile and I like to read the lyrics as I'm listening)
This is so good. I swear, a dislike button should never exist on an Oktavia song.
You're right, but as usual there's no dislikes so far duh
Her voice sounds amazing on this
@@Jepysauce
There are 2 dislikes now.
D:
I AGREE 1000% WITH THIS STATEMENT
Lol i disagree. It helps to show areas of improvement and therefore helps her.
@@flatlineingcontradiction4999 how does a dislike help her improve? Most people that leave a dislike dont offer any ways for her to get better
1:39
T-pose to establish dominance
I'm sorry-
best comment
PastelisaBella was about to comment that lmao
yes
FUCK!!
You got here before me I was gonna say that
don't be sorry hahahaha
the only regret i have whilst listening to this song is not being awake to listen to it before. oktavia out here just single-handedly curing my depression like she's some kind of goddess. also that range never ceases to amaze?? how do you hit those notes??? and those translyrics??? wow sis i'm Q U A K I N G
SCREE WHAT THE HECK- YOU’RE SO GOOD- ALL THE TIME- GG OKTAVIA- YOU’VE BESTED ME AGAIN!
Edit: -Am I the only one who absolutely loves this art style-
The artist is WOOMA! She’s done some other PVs as well + she has a YT channel for all her animations, you should check it out!

I WOKE UP TW O MINUT ES AGO OKTAVIAAAAA THIS IS SO GOOD.... THE LYRICS... HOW YOU CAPTURED THE TONE AND FEEL OF THE RHYME IN THE ORIGINAL JP... YOUR VOCALS.... IM CRYING GOOD JOB
HYPE! I can’t wait to hear your incredible voice in a new song!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
hikaru station I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!!!
I honesly love this alot, it's rare for english covers of vocaloids to be actually be good because often singers (especially female) try to push their voice to the point where it strains and sounds uncomfortable even for the viewer. With your voice, it sounds natural! You have a good range! I especially love how you sung when the song picked up at the last chorus, your voice was a PERFECT amount of high !!! And the scream at the very end omg it was amazing. My only criticism is how you suddenly changed pitch at 00:39, I feel like you could of had a smoother transition than that. But overall this was really good like shiiit
AHH This is so freaking good! Your voice is still so freaking pretty! And you sang this song so freaking well!
holy shit wait ok shit this made me cry? im shaking? this is so amazing and better than i ever couldve expected. i love you, i love niru, i love wooma, i love miy_yuu, and just wow my heart is racing goodnight
Oktavia, Oktavia, Oktavia.
This is where you strive girl! These are the songs you should be doing!
Your voice is meant to range like this, not force too high. Beautifully done.
this is honestly the best english cover of ANY vocaloid song honestly, tbh i would die for a cover of kilmer by you
I HAD AN OBSESSION WITH NIRU KAJITSU FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND YOU DECIDE TO COVER THIS AMAZING SONG WITH SUCH A TALENTED VOICE????? OMG OKTAVIA GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!!
“Hey, what is this love in words?”
Each question I’ve answered, unsure
Ash, skin, swinging on a hook,
I’m gonna skim when I hit the books
Guess the gap in our bed tonight,
Threw out the clothing tattered over time
Both can’t be saved that way, so I’m going a bit insane
Ah, we all are bogged, “No bother” our main aim
Pretend, pretense, the same in saying “I’m laughing ‘cause I can!”
And I’m too nice, I can’t deny-yaiy-yaiy
You wanna claim all you need while I’m on my knees?
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
“Hey, what is this love even worth?
You refuse it, and you’ll only be hurt.”
Though I swung and might’ve missed your sleeve,
I’m not a kid- don’t berate me, please
Guess the gap in our bed tonight,
Throughout the words I coughed up, drowned in rhyme,
Still, were bent on staying blank, so I took a breath to take their place
Odd, these thoughts, this painful, paper-thin Mayday
Divine Delight, your ego gains as three days go down the drain
And I’m too nice, I can’t deny-yaiy, but
Soon I’ll just play rendezvous until I kill you
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
“Hey, is this love still returned?”
Pantomime, and questions answered, I’m sure
One more’s seething deeper down,
But I’ll only notice such a dream in doubt
“Yes, the gap in your bed tonight
too, like your room, is where you won’t arrive.
Look ahead at the life you’ll soon lack!” so the anti-Amendnest laughs*
On and on, this tipping tipsy has made a
Goodbye goodbye, “That’s right!” you caution, I coughed the blood we saw
No lie, these binds, though if I die-yaiy-yaiy
Please swallow with my riches, ridges, written for your kiss
I knew you never loved me
I knew, but mistakenly believed
I knew you never loved me
I knew you never loved me
“I knew you never loved me.”
I said and mistakenly believed
I knew that you never loved me
I knew, and mistakenly believed
I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD-
Shay Unique A N G E L I C A?
All the way from London?
D A Y U M
I heard the cry from outer space.
-Itsahamiltonrefrence-

Wow, usually I’m not a fan of English covers of vocaloid songs (usually like original covers) but the translations and your voice and tone is just perfect!! 2:57 I fell in love with your style. I listened to your cover before the original song and now the original feels lacking at this part (probably due to the amazing pv). You are doing great!!

This reiterates the utter adoration of your work that was never lost. Damn this is awesome.
I've never listened to the original before your cover, but now that I have... Your cover is still absolute perfection (though it always is, so saying that is kind of redundant haha). Seriously, how you inject so much power and emotion and beauty in your voice eludes me.

WOAH you sound so smooth and captivating!!
YES! Such a godly voice.
I love this song and your cover of it is absolutely beautiful!
You sang this so well. The song is so creepy and weird, it's amazing
Three days down the drain listening to this song all the time!
Every time you make a cover, I realize how truly beautiful and unique your voice is 😍
OKTAVIA I MISSED YOU..
IM SCREAMING THIS IS SO PERFECT AAAAAAAAA
whats the story behind this song?? is so trippy i cant put my finger on it,,
I might be horribly wrong but this is a homosexual love story gone wrong, black love white but white doest want it to go that way, black had enought one day and goes mad from contant regections and prepares everithing to kill white (with poison??) whem the day comes he could not bring himself to do it and instead kill himself in front of white, he could not live any longer. White cries out to black as he dies in his arms.
I'm not sure, but I think the girl represents the boy's cat. Because cats express emotions differently than humans, the boy cannot determine if his pet really loves him, and eventually kills her, dispite the fact that she did love him, but was unable to express it like he expected.
The dark imagery might then be from him interpreting her other actions as evil or demonic, such as her scratching him during play, eating smaller animals, yowling during the night, etc.
There's probably an official explanation somewhere, but this is what I interpreted.
Without the video, the song is about someone pushing away someone that genuinely love him by being persuaded he have no reason to be loved. Because of that, he create reasons why the other pretend to love him while the other try his hardest to convince him their feelings are genuine and that is the reason he feel hurt when he is the one to reject it. The sex of both protagonists isn't defined in the song.
Honestly it seems to me like the producer, Niru Kajitsu, had a recent trend of songs which deal with unhealthy-ish relationships? The lyrics are reallllllly vague in Japanese so I tried to keep mine vague as well to match, but I’ve always thought this song was about some sort of toxic relationship. And thank you for listening!!
@@kylemoran2931 it's actually just a boy in a hood lol
Thank for the amazing cover
THE QUEEN HAS POSTED
This was so good!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely one I'll be listening to over and over. It suits your voice so well and you sing with an awesome intensity that fits the story.
