Chosen as the theme song for the film “14 no Yoru” (14 That Night), the track features striking lyrics that depict the negative feelings toward others that everyone has felt at least once.
We all, to a greater or lesser extent, feel like badmouthing others when things aren’t going well for us, but the message that simply doing so won’t move you forward even a single step really hits home.
It’s a song that teaches the importance of facing yourself—not others—and overcoming obstacles when you hit a wall.
