Talk:愛して愛して愛して (Aishite Aishite Aishite)/@comment-32528803-20170721043502/@comment-34801661-20180309152659

I know I'm super late to reply to this comment, but whatever. My guess was that the song was portraying a young person with Good Child Syndrome.

Good Child Syndrome is when children at a young age grow emotionally attached to the words "good" and "bad".

They take on the mindset that misbehaving, disobeying rules and doing badly in academics is what bad kids do, and that if they do such things they will be punished for their actions. Along with this mindset, they also begin to believe that doing well in academics, displaying polite behavior and obeying rules are what good kids do, and that they will be praised for being a "good kid".

In the end, it results in them being very emotionally invested in seeking approval and praise from others. They also feel superior to other kids, especially when other children display "bad kid" traits; in other words, they become arrogant and narrow-minded.

This syndrome makes them depend entirely on others. If they are unable to seek or find approval from others, they will become depressed and believe that they are a "bad kid". The people with this syndrome are self-critical and need constant affirmation or approval in an attempt to dispel that self-criticism.

The song shows how invested the character is in finding affirmation in things that they've accomplished. Good grades, good looks, they are constantly trying to seek attention and praise from others; constantly asking to be loved. The necklace represents the strain of the syndrome on the child's life, and how even though they grow older, their mindset doesn't - or rather - refuses to change.

The character in this song couldn't handle the syndrome alone and tries to share their pain by confessing their love to another person. In the lyrics, you can also tell how the character's arrogance shows through nonetheless, viewing the person they are confessing to as "filthy".

The character thought that the way to cure their syndrome was to implore it into someone else, but they were sadly mistaken. In the end, their syndrome continues, and they are left to continuing to ask people to "love me".
