  Based on the translation of the lyrics and diary entries, the final entry &quot;I became a butterfly&quot;, means she&apos;s committed suicide. Each chorus when she envisions herself as a butterfly she&apos;s surrounded by either chairs or shoes, both are often associated with suicide. She also had a vase appear on her desk after napping, which is normally used to pay respect to the dead student that occupied that desk. So everytime she sees herself as a butterfly she&apos;s basically wishing to be dead, to be free and always dreaming, because that&apos;s the only way she can live up to her own &quot;abnormal&quot; expectations. She&apos;s always sleeping, the diary entries note her wanting to sleep constantly, so that she could be noticed and loved in her dreams by the classmate she&apos;s obsessed with. Its pretty sad and a representationof the stresses in Japanese culture to be perfect and exceptional. <br>It may seem like she&apos;s not caring about what others think, and that she eventually accepts herself, but she&apos;s actually desperate to be &quot;abnormal&quot; (perfect), so much so that she ends up accepting that being alive means she won&apos;t be ever be perfect (this is why she leaves the mirror dirty towards the end), and instead kills herself, &nbsp;to be an everlasting abnormal butterfly.

  I’m glad to see how you keep getting better and better at theorizing on the song meanings and simbolism. Btw the messages that were appearing on the screen were her diary entries

  SO IM NOT SURE IF ANYONE HAS DONE THIS, BUT I FOUND A TRANSLATION OF THE DIARY ENTRIES IN THE MV!! The diary entries are like the small patches of text in the interludes when flower&apos;s not singing, for those who don&apos;t know :3 here ya go~ (THIS IS JUST INCASE U WANT THEM TO READ BC I GOT TO THE PART WHERE HE READ THEM OUT SORRY)<br><br>x/x (mon) <br>Cloudy again. <br>I had a strange dream, but I can’t remember much. It’s like my heart is closed off. I don’t feel anything. <br>x/x (tue) <br>Cloudy again. <br>I don’t feel like studying. I zoned out during class, so I’m glad I didn’t get called on. <br>x/x (wed) <br>Cloudy again. <br>Tomorrow’s when tests start. As expected, I’ll study for them. <br>x/x (thu) <br>Cloudy again. <br>I couldn’t sleep because I was studying till dawn. I feel refreshed. <br>x/x (fri) <br>Cloudy again. <br>There’s more tests today. <br>I feel like I answered the questions to some extent. The studying was worth it. <br>x/x (mon) <br>Cloudy again. <br>Our tests came back. Even with all that, I’m still stuck at an average score. I don’t feel anything. <br>x/x (tue) <br>Cloudy again. <br>It seems that [REDACTED] from our class is entering some competition. I don’t feel anything. <br>x/x (wed) <br>Cloudy again. <br>I was suddenly called by [REDACTED] during break time. Can’t help the rumors floating around. I don’t feel anything. <br>x/x (thu) <br>Cloudy again. <br>I have this feeling like something’s wriggling around in my head. It’s uncomfortable. <br>x/x (fri) <br>Cloudy again. <br>It’s all dirty when I look in the mirror. I wiped and wiped, but it didn&apos;t help. It’s uncomfortable. <br>x/x (mon) <br>Cloudy again. <br>In the morning assembly [REDACTED] was commended. Seems like she got excellent grades. I don’t care. It’s uncomfortable. <br>x/x (tue) <br>Cloudy again. <br>Seems like there’s planning for the school festival. That [REDACTED]’s gonna be in charge, everyone’s enthusiastic. It’s uncomfortable. <br>x/x (wed) <br>Cloudy again. <br>The class decided to do a play. [REDACTED] was unexpectedly overjoyed. They were appointed behind the scenes by [REDACTED], the protagonist. I was a little happy. My head hurts. <br>x/x (thu) <br>Cloudy again. <br>Most of the class wound up behind the scenes, so lots are starting the preparations. Something’s irritating me. My head hurts. <br>— (after second chorus) <br>x/x (fri) <br>Cloudy again. <br>When I stroked the mirror, it cracked. I cut my finger a little. I’m frustrated. <br>x/x (mon) <br>Cloudy again. <br>All the talking around me is so noisy. [REDACTED] asked me how the production was going. In the spur of the moment, I stumbled on my words. We managed to talk. <br>x/x (tue) <br>Cloudy again. <br>Everything around me is so noisy. <br>I stumbled and touched the wound, so my fingers are dirty. I’m frustrated. <br>x/x (wed) <br>Cloudy again. <br>The sounds are echoing in my head and it’s troubling me. I wipe and wipe but the dirt won’t come off my fingers. [REDACTED] met eyes with me and smiled. I’m not qualified enough for that. <br>x/x (thu) <br>Cloudy again. <br>[REDACTED]’s voice is beautiful. <br>Not just that, everything about her is perfect to the point of abnormality. How did I never notice this until now? <br>x/x (fri) <br>Cloudy again. <br>[REDACTED] talked to me. She stands out so extraordinarily. I feel like I was watching [REDACTED] all day. <br>x/x (mon) <br>What does [REDACTED] have that I don’t? <br>I tried to imitate [REDACTED] a little. I feel like my heart’s calmed down. <br>x/x (tue) <br>The mirror I just bought is dirty. I wipe and wipe but it won’t go away. <br>x/x (wed) <br>I tried talking to people around me just like [REDACTED]. I was met with different gazes than I usually get. It’s kind of a special feeling. <br>x/x (thu) <br>I dared to talk to [REDACTED]. I think I talked more differently than I thought, but I was interrupted halfway. I don’t really understand it. <br>x/x (fri) <br>I stared at the dirt on the mirror. For some reason, the pattern looks beautiful. I’ll put off wiping it for a while. <br>x/x (sat) <br>I had a strange dream. <br>x/x (mon) <br>The pattern on the mirror changes every day. When I talked to [REDACTED], I got laughed at. I couldn’t hear their voices. <br>x/x (tue) <br>For the past few days I’ve been seeing indecipherable dreams. The pattern on the mirror is beautiful. <br>x/x (wed) <br>Another dream where I keep averting the gaze of others. My head hurts. <br>x/x (thu) <br>I dreamt of dancing in a dress. My head hurts. <br>x/x (fri) <br>In my dream, [REDACTED] was dancing with a stranger. I woke up the second our eyes met. My head hurts. <br>x/x (sat) <br>I slept five times. I wanted to dream. I’m irritated. <br>x/x (mon) <br>The beautiful me. <br>The beautiful you. <br>is this love? <br>x/x (tue) <br>I am me. <br>Who are you? <br>Are you also me? <br>x/x (wed) <br>I want to see you in my dreams. <br>x/x (thu) <br>I like you <br>x/x (fri) <br>How happy would I be if I could become a butterfly like you. <br>x/x (sat) <br>Do I need to coordinate my sleeves to match with the toes of my shoes? <br>x/x (sun) <br>Sew together one by one. Along the line, stitch the dots. A collection for me alone. <br>x/x (mon) <br>I transformed into a different me! <br>x/x (tue) <br>The dream should have ended as a dream. <br>My longing should have been thrown away. <br>x/x (wed) <br>[REDACTED] <br>x/x (thu) <br>You are me. <br>I am you. <br>x/x (fri) <br>I like you. <br>x/x (sat) <br>I feel disgusting. I had a feeling like I wasn’t me. <br>x/x (sun) <br>Look at me <br>x/x (mon) <br>LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME <br>x/x (tue) <br>Looked. <br>x/x (wed) <br>Everyone’s so noisy. Shut up. <br>x/x (thu) <br>Shut up. <br>x/x (fri) <br>Shut up. <br>x/x (sat) <br>I saw a butterfly. <br>x/x (sun) <br>I became a butterfly.

  A lot of people say that the chairs and shoes mean she committed suicide, but I think it&apos;s something else. <br><br>Those are associated eith suicide, but notice how they are <b>facing her</b> when she sings &quot;look at me now&quot;. I think it means she wants so much attention it kills her. The flowers on her desk could mean she died, but I think it&apos;s more like, her wanting the attention eventually &quot;killed&quot; her, as in, she no longer knew how to be her past self anymore because she was so fixated on being herself yet abnormal. It&apos;s implied she actually did commit suicide in the end but I prefer thinking my theory is correct. <br><br>I also think her wanting to be butterfly means she wants to be perfect, in the centre but not be seen as normal because the butterflies are I think purple and I don&apos;t know if such exist. She says &quot;I saw a butterfly, I became a butterfly&quot; I think it means she saw a girl that was different yet perfect and became obssesed with being like her. She claims she feel nothing once. I think that all the death symbolism is about how she feels rather than what she did - she feels dead inside. She think loosing normality and becoming the centre will fix it but it didn&apos;t, so she became broken. She became a butterfly, who couldn&apos;t fly. A broken one, that people feel bad for but forget when they see a healthy one.

  ACCORDING TO GOOGLE <br><br>This song is about a girl named Mene. Mene is unhappy with her average grades. When Mene sees her classmate Miya get perfect grades seemingly without trying, she thinks that this type of perfection is abnormal and tries to become more like her. Mene tries to act more like Miya and tries even harder to become &quot;Abnormal&quot;, and gets to the point of envy where she falls in love Miya, realizing it during the dream sequence. But then Mene realizes that she&apos;ll never be with/like Miya. Mene finally snaps, and becomes a butterfly, a metaphor in the song for committing suicide. Her death is reflected earlier on in the PV where a vase of flowers is sitting on her desk, a common tradition in Japan when a student has passed away.

  Had an argument with someone that doesn’t understand work/school culture in Japan a few days ago and this upload reminded me of that. Unfortunately the whole situation is a lot harder in Japan. Fail or don’t copy everyone else? Shunned, excluded. <br><br>So many songs talk about this topic as well. <br>Lost ones weeping by Neru<br>Biter choco decoration by Syudou<br>USSEEWA by Ado and Syudou (who composed the song)<br>Egoist by Oonuma Paseri<br>And of course Abnormally Dancing Girl by Guichiry <br>And probably many more. A lot of vocaloid songs are actually the producers venting about life<br><br>Credits are more important than my comment having a heart.

  This song really reminded me of the &quot;not like other girls&quot; girls. A lot of people are terrified of being a stereotype, I think mostly because we put a lot of importance in &quot;being yourself&quot; which we subconsciously interpret as &quot;being like other people is bad&quot;. having things in common with other people doesn&apos;t mean your not unique. Sometimes we throw away pieces of ourselves &nbsp;while trying to be different from everyone else and trick ourselves into thinking, &quot;This is who I truly am.&quot;<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; When it comes to &quot;not like other girls&quot; girls, they always compare themselves to &quot;Girly-girls&quot;. That term sounds unnatural and repetitive and over all like &quot;too much&quot; sort of like when you call an outfit that uses a lot of the same color &quot;matchy-matchy&quot;. It invokes those same feelings and makes it seem like a girl that dresses more feminine is unnatural, plastic, fake, or Barbie doll like. <br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; Up until a few years ago I myself was headed towards becoming a &quot;not like other girls&quot; girl. When I was younger all I wore were leggings and t-shirts with a pair of sneakers. I would call myself a &quot;Tom-boy&quot; because I didn&apos;t care about fashion, but that wasn&apos;t really true. I was always so jealous of the girls in my class who wore pretty skirts and dresses. Then my family moved from a very cold weather area to a very warm weather area and I finally got my first phone along with access to the internet, where I discovered both historical and lolita fashion along with other alternative fashions. That, accompanied by the necessary wardrobe change allowed me to freely experiment with more feminine clothing and I realized that dressing differently from other girls could go both ways (more masculine or more feminine). Now of course I know that being different, and &quot;being me&quot; aren&apos;t the same.

  Funfact randomly:Flowers do mean to pay respect to the dead, but if the person is alive at the time the flower is placed on the table, it means that they wish for them to be dead

  Also!<br>Butterflies can symbolise rebirth, and freedom (more so the feelings of freedom)<br><br>So by that information, it&apos;s possible that the girl wants to be free from the validation of others, but knows there&apos;s no turning back.<br><br>While the symbolic of rebirth relates to the repeating of changing yourself as a new person, therefore wanting to &apos;reborn&apos; yourself, if that makes sense.

  i also like the way that many many people can relate to this. i saw comments about how someone relates to &quot;abnormality dancing girl&quot; because they: feel like they are not enough because they have average/bad grades; changed themselves for the person they love so they get noticed; change themselves because they don&apos;t like themself and feel like they&apos;re too boring and etc. all of the reasons are different but they are all valid and all apply to the song!! i find it really interesting<br>and thank you for the video, im very happy you reacted to this :D the way you pointed out butterflies and Tame&apos;s (the girl in the video) transformation was actually genius /gen
