about

The song "Aokigahara" by 0%Mercury carries a profound message within. Its title refers to the forest known as Aokigahara, nestled by Mount Fuji on Japan's Honshu Island. This forest has gained notoriety as a place associated with suicides and stands as one of the most prevalent locations for such tragic occurrences worldwide.

However, the essence of the song does not endorse or romanticize the act of suicide. Instead, it urges individuals to seek inner strength to overcome life's challenges. It paints a picture of feeling lost and adrift, akin to being amidst the forest, not seeking the way back home or waiting to be found. As the song progresses, its protagonist realizes that escape from this state is only possible when one truly desires it and believes in their own resilience.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I'm lost
In the Forest
Where I can’t be found
And I don’t want to be found
Do I need to give up?
I’m giving up
I can stay in this place forever..

I remember that day when she took my hand and Guided me somewhere I had never been
In this sea of woods
I didn’t understood
Was she even my friend?
and she said:
“Stay right there where you are
I’ll be back in a moment
We came here for a reason but I'm not going to tell you why..”
And now I feel like

I'm lost
In the Forest
Where I can’t be found
And I don’t want to be found
I guess in my chest there is no heart anymore she took it and she's gone

I should not be troubled alone
But why everyone trying to leave me?
Everything seems so wrong except the place where I am but do I really belong here?
Embracing my loneliness
I should definitely do this!

I’m so lost in the forest
Do I need to be found?
But I can find my way out
I can guide myself
only
On my own
I need to go on
I need to go on
