The more you look at the artwork, the more unsettling it gets. She's missing her left eye, cuts on her chest, bloodied knives, someone drowning, her legs twisted into a mermaid tail. Besides all of that, this song blew me away like the rest.

It's such a pretty song... Even though it's about a girl who was literally and metaphorically blinded by love.

I'm never going to get over how the music quiets down after she sings "And then I gave you my ears."

So... according to urban dictionary, A bathtub mermaid is a term for someone that is so obsessed with something/someone that they would die without it/them. Sound fitting?

I’ve analyzed the lyrics to hell and back here’s my interpretation: To me, this song is about someone so blinded by love that they don’t see it’s destroying them. Every thought and action is consumed by an obsession with this relationship that’s tearing their sense of self shreds; twisting and moulding their identity to fit the desires of their lover, until all that they have left of their original self is the love for the person that set their spiral into motion. Giving them everything they want until there’s nothing left to give, conforming until they’re unrecognizable, leaving them with nothing to call their own except for the other person. Embracing the abuse, as it’s the only time they’re made to feel significant enough to be given attention. Their attempts to be seen increasing in desperation to the point that they resort to self destruction as a means to garner any attention, let alone affection. They can’t pull the plug for themselves so they’re just hopelessly sinking deeper, waiting for the other side to return them love, attention, or possibly even mercy in the form of a separation they aren’t strong enough to assert for themselves. And all of this for a person who didn’t even care enough to learn how to love.

"What thinking you can fix him does to a woman", the song

Most of Mili's songs so dark with a cheerful tone,i love the way how dark the truly mean behind something so pretty

is it saying like someone is so "blindly in love" with someone but they show no love back to them so they are just destroying themselves and in the end the other person just leaves them?

これって、もしかして臓器移植（transplant)と、そのドナー（organ donor)の視点で語られた歌なのかな。 自分の臓器（いのち）と相手の侵された臓器（いのち）を交換して生まれ変わる、って意味なのかも。 ピンセットやトゲ抜きが手術器具で、冒頭と最後の方は手術中のドナーの心情という気がする。 そして、イラストの全体像を見ると、バスタブが移植先の相手の身体で、そのバスタブ（からだ）の中で相手と共に生き続ける、って感じだと思う。 歌の終わりに近付くにつれて、ドナーである彼女が最後を迎える瞬間への覚悟が感じられて、切ないながらも命に関する強い想いと愛が伝わってきました。

よく見るとヒレじゃなくて足がねじれまくってるの気付いてしまった···· 淡々と、だけどちぐはぐで自分だけが理解している独白っぽい歌詞も含めて怖いのに美しくて好き。

とても綺麗な曲だけど、歌詞が結構エグい。そのギャップがMiliらしさだけど。

*(tw for abuse, manipulation, murder, and mutilation)* So I typically don't comment on videos a lot BUT I really like this song and have had this analysis in my head since the first time I listened to it (being in a past abusive/toxic relationship myself) SO!!! I'M GONNA POST IT!!! IT'S GONNA BE SUPER LONG BUT HERE GOES!!! --- "Rise and fall Silver moon tide erased my footprints Then I picked up broken scales Stuck them to my tail" She is leaving behind her humanity/true self (erased my footprints) and choosing to live her life as a "mermaid" (picked up broken scales, stuck them to my tail), which is a metaphor for something her abuser likes / wants. She is willing to change, be it physically or personality-wise, for them. "If love truly makes you blind Then I guess There is no need (There is no need to see) I'll trade my eyes So you can see for me" This statement speaks for itself; she is blinded by love. In this case, she thinks that her abuser knows what is best for her, so she "trades her eyes" to them so they can "see for her" and essentially control everything she does. "I will embrace Embrace your bubbles, your fluids And keep you warm ... I will embrace Embrace your membranes, your bones And keep you cool" The speaker loves her abuser and is willing to accept them and all of their baggage. She will "embrace" all of their bad parts, but will try to see past them in favor of their good. "Then I will squeeze out Squeeze out your germs, your spore, your viruses ... Then I will squeeze out Squeeze out your evil, your grim and your woe" I see this part as a metaphor for "squeezing out" all of the bad in her abuser. She's experiencing a form of Florence Nightingale/Nursemaid syndrome; she thinks she can change them and make them better than how they used to be. Regardless of how much "evil" she "squeezes out", her abuser is never going to change. "Reborn, Reform Twist my legs to one and mind to none" She is undergoing her "transformation" from who she used to be into the "mermaid" I discussed earlier. The "twist my legs to one" isn't literal in this case, rather making it sound more like she's turning into an actual mermaid. But her mind being "twisted to none" is VERY literal. She loves her abuser so much that she is literally ignoring all common sense; any sense of danger or toxicity in this person she is ignoring. She's "blinded" by her love for them. "Touch me touch me Kiss me to sleep Cut me open and give me gills So I can breathe" The stark contrast between the softness of "touch me...kiss me to sleep" and the raw gore of "cut me open" is important. She's living in a fantasy where she sees her abuser as soft, gentle, and loving no matter what. Even if they "cut [her] open", literal or not, she sees it as a way for her to "breathe". "With tweezers and nippers Trim off my fins And forever I'll be yours I won't fight or make you cry" She's allowing her abuser to "trim off her fins", which is similar to the metaphor "clipping my wings". It means that her abuser now has full control over her and where she goes. She won't fight them on this, either. She may just see it as her abuser being "protective" and "wanting what is best for her", but instead it's a manipulative way to keep her in line. *Now there are TWO ways I interpreted the ending to this song * - A) Her abuser now gets physical and beats her, but she stays regardless. B) Her abuser kills her and throws her in the bathtub. - PRETTY STARK DIFFERENCES THERE so I'm gonna be splitting the rest of this analysis up into two endings. *END A* --- "Whatever you need Whenever you need I'll be by your side" Despite all of the hurt she's gone through, despite everything she's already given up, she is still willing to stick by her abuser because she loves them. She'll keep giving and giving, but her abuser will never give anything in return. "And then I gave you my heart To fill in the emptiness in your chest And then I gave you my brain So that you can learn to love" She's hopeful that by her being there, her abuser's "chest can be filled" and that they can "learn to love" and change from their abusive ways, like what she's wanted all along. "If I'm covered in scars will you look at me" If she's covered in the "scars" from giving everything she had to her abuser, she hopes that her abuser will be grateful and change for the better. "Kiss me kiss me Don't leave me be I'm a bathtub mermaid I cannot swim but only sing" Our speaker is afraid of abandonment. She's been clinging onto her abuser because she is afraid of being left alone; she would rather have somebody that treats her horribly than nobody at all. She "cannot swim", meaning that she can't do anything her abuser doesn't allow her to do (see back to "trim off my fins"), but she can still "sing". She can entertain her abuser, keeping them company and giving them someone to manipulate. *END B* --- "And then I gave you my eyes To see all the colours And then I gave you my ears To hear all the sirens" The speaker has given everything she had to her abuser, and in the end, she was manipulated and they ended up killing her. With her "eyes", they can see all of her blood. With her "ears", they hear the police sirens approaching; someone else has heard the attack and has called the police, or the abuser has called themselves. "Tell me, tell me What do you see In the water that's clinging onto my skin Cut me cut me Please make it deep" The abuser has thrown the speaker's body into the bathtub, perhaps staging it to look like a suicide by slitting her wrists. "Just pull the plug Flush down all our memories Into the sea" I believe the "just pull the plug" line is a sort of pseudo-metaphor for death. In a hospital, if somebody is on life support and asks you to "pull the plug", they know that that plug being pulled will kill them. (Probably not EXACTLY what Mili was going for but that's what I pulled from it.) The "pull the plug" line ALSO works as a metaphor for the end of a relationship. The abuser, now faced with the death of their victim, is forced to "pull the plug" on their toxic relationship and watch as all of their memories with their victim are "flushed into the sea". --- WHEW okay so that was super long and I stayed up until 6 AM writing this SO I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY READING THIS because my back hurts now hghhghgh

Wow. English isn't even Mili's first language, but their song lyrics have more meaning than most American songs I've heard.

歌詞を読んだら綺麗な曲じゃすまされなくって苦しくってでも何回も聞きたくなる不思議

すっごい優しくて、すっごい可愛らしいのに、 永遠に落ちていくような恐ろしさがある歌

自分の全てを捧げても愛してもらえず、バスタブで手首を切って命を絶つ自分を、浴槽で泳ぐ人魚に喩える女の子の歌だと思いました

声が好きすぎて鳥肌立つ

I’ve only listened to this 1 million times before, and this is the first time that it really fully fruited into the fact that this is an extreme case of people pleasing meets blind love

臓器移植の歌って解釈見たあとに最後の「記憶を海に流して」の部分、記憶=臓器(生まれてからずっと共にしてきたもの)、海=人間の体液(生理食塩水0.9mg/dl)って考えると、私の臓器を他人の体液の中に入れてとも解釈できるなって思いました()

Rise and fall Silver moon tide erased my foot prints Then I picked up broken scales Stuck them to my tail Ah If love truly makes you blind Then I guess There is no need (There is no need to see) I'll trade my eyes So you can see for me Lulala Lulalila Stay with me You will never be sad I I will embrace Embrace your bubbles, your fluids And keep you warm Then I will squeeze out Squeeze out your germs, your spore, your viruses I I will embrace Embrace your membranes, your bones And keep you cool Then I will squeeze out Squeeze out your evil, your grim and your woe Trasform myself Once and for all Sink into the tub Reborn Reform Twist my legs to one and mind to none Tell me tell me What do you see In the mirror that's covered in chalky steam Touch me touch me Kiss me to sleep Cut me open and give me gills So I can breathe With tweezers and nippers Trim off my fins And forever I'll be yours I won't fight or make you cry Whatever you need Whenever you need I'll be by your side And then I gave you my eyes To see all the colours And then I gave you my ears To hear all the sirens And then I gave you my heart To fill in the emptiness in your chest And then I gave you my brain So that you can learn to love Tell me tell me What do you see In the water that's clinging onto my skin Cut me cut me Please make it deep If I'm covered in scars Will you look at me Kiss me kiss me Don't leave me be I'm a bathtub mermaid I cannot swim but only sing Just pull the plug Flush down all your memories Into the sea

TLDR: This song is deep... neat song. I think the lyrics represent someone who would become another being for her unrequited love just so they could love her back. She sacrificed her brain so they could "learn how to love", her eyes so they could see the colors, her heart to fill the emptiness in their chest, and her ear so they could hear the sirens of what i suppose is the ambulance coming to attempt to rescue her from her unavoidable death. She even said "Reborn, reform, twist my legs to one and mind to none" implying she would even become a mythical creature for the sole purpose of receiving their love. Unfortunately, it was all in vain as she's literally begging them to cut her to the point of getting deep scars and wishing for their memories to be flushed in to the sea. I think that would mean that she wants to either have him forget everything and then start over, or just to only think of her. Very sad song, but its nice. If you read this entire thing, congrats to you, you get a cookie.

恐ろしいほど怖くて切なくい曲、内容がわかるようでわからないのが怖い

この歌が好きすぎて英語勉強したら、共テリスニング92点取れました ほんとにMiliさんに感謝、この方がいなかったら私の英語の成績上がってないです……！！

漂う潮汐 私の足跡は銀色の月光に消し去れ そして私はばらばらになったウロコを拾って 尾びれに飾り付けた ああ もし愛は盲目にさせるものなら 私はもう見る必要はない 見る必要はない 交換しよう 私の変わりに見ればいい ルララ ルラリラ 私と一緒に居て つらい思いはさせないから 私は抱き寄せる 君の泡と愛液を抱き寄せて温める そして絞り出す 君の菌と胞子と病を絞り出す 私は抱き寄せる 君の粘膜と骨を抱き寄せて冷ます そして絞り出す 君の悪と悲しみと不幸を絞り出す 一回限りの形質転換 私はバスタブに沈み込んで 生まれ変わる 改める 捻じ曲げる両足を一つに そして思いを無に 教えて 教えて 何が見えるの 白い蒸気に覆われた鏡の向こう 触って 触って おやすみのキスも頂戴 私を切り裂いて エラを縫い付けて 呼吸ができるように トゲ抜きとピンセットでヒレを剥ぎ取るなら ずっと君の傍にいられるよ 立ち向かわない 泣かさない なんでも 何時でも 欲しいものなら与えるよ そして君に目玉を与えた この世の色彩を見えるように そして君に耳を与えた セイレーン達の歌声を聴こえるように そして君に心臓を与えた 心の奥の空虚を埋めるように そして君に脳を与えた 愛する方法を覚えられるように 教えて 教えて 何が見えるの 素肌にまとわりつく水の中 切り分けて 切り分けて 奥深いところまで 傷だらけになったら 私のことをきっとかまってくれるよね キスして キスして 離さないで 私はただの浴槽の人魚 歌えるだけで泳げはしないの 栓を抜けばいい 記憶を海に流して 字幕移しただけなのであっているかわかりません。訂正ありましたらお願いします。

wow reading the lyrics along with the song just made it like 10×'s creepier rather than cute. but its still 11/10 an oddly cute song to me..

cover picture of this song seems beautiful, but look close. there are brain, heart, and eyes in the water and mermaid on the center seems dead or going to die. I think this song as 'sacrifice mermaid herself for her love'. it's quite ironic, because some myth are telling us that mermaids are to beautiful. and they make people go into sea and drawn. it might be related to a story about mermaid that loves Prince so much and to achieve that love, she trade with witch and earn legs to go out to sea. anyway, project mili's songs' atmosphere always bright although the lyric is dark. their songs have story, I don't know well, but their songs are related each others. I'll be always your side, good luck to your next song!

眉間にシワを寄せて曲聴いたの初めてだわ……

I'm having a problem here, i can only like this video once... but it's not enough.

儚さとかわいらしさと美しさが合わさった、まるでシャボン玉のような柔らかで透き通った歌声。 透き通るような美しさと悲痛な雰囲気を感じさせるメロディー。 言葉選びにセンスがあり、語られている情景が美しくも不穏な歌詞。 パステルでかわいらしい色づかいなのに、よく見ると、足が捻れてたりする実は不穏なイラスト。 この全てがあるからこそ、この曲は素晴らしいんだな、と思います。

i just realize the girl in the picture lost her eye, brain, and her heart you can see the heart and the brain floatingon the water below her just like the lyrics

よく見たら下から伸びてる手の少し右に脳がある... よく見てみると色んなことが分かる miliさんの曲は全て考えさせられる。

It's interesting how the mermaid sacrificed anything but her beautiful voice, unlike The Little Mermaid.

Make me cry ;-; This remaind my desires linked my friend in depression. I would give him my eyes to see all positive things, I would give him my ears to hear 'You are important', I would give him my heart to fill the emptiness and I would give him my brain so that he learn to love and to be loved. And a miniature shows bath siren...

omg, such dark lyrics, I love it. The art is so pretty! It's bright and colourfull, but at the same time, it gaves a feeling of agony mixed with calmness, idk how to explain...I really liked this song, it's so sad, but so beautiful at the same time!!

밀리를 처음 알게 되었을 때 이 노래 분위기와 목소리에 반해버리고 '세상에 이게뭐야 대박이다 이쁘다' 하고 가사를 보니 취향 정중앙에 꽂혀서 팬이 되었습니다. 조곤조곤하게 자기의 모든 부분을 주겠다는 걸 장기 하나하나와 세포 하나하나, 특히 다리를 틀어서 꼬리를 만든다는 부분은 진짜 들을수록 너무 대박 아닌가.....

よく見たら女の子が血がついた刃物持ってて、その下に女の子に向かって伸びた手がある…

声がむちゃくちゃ可愛い この雰囲気好き

I feel like this is almsot like the Little Mermaid. The girl makes deals and trades multiple things with the witch in order for the boy to love her, but in the end he doesn't. I remember that the girl turned to sea foam after she refused to kill the prince. All in all though, I know this is pretty much about a one sided relationship of someone willing to do anything for their partner, but their partner does nothing for them.

こう、、なんて言うんだろう 痛々しい美しさが好き

One of my favorites, just amazing and the lyrics are so beautiful to go along with the magical melody!

昔から知ってる曲だったけど、最近イギリス英語にハマってるから発音がそれっぽいのに今更感動してる

The contrast between lyrics, voice, and score is why I absolutely love +Mili! Keep up the amazing work!

the beauty of her voice mixed with the grim lyrics just makes a chilling song. wonderfully done as always Mili!

Mili の曲も声もイラストもすべて好き(*´`) なんていうんだろ、なんだか、違う空間にいる気分になる

ずっと大好きな曲です！ 歌詞も曲調も色褪せないです。 個人的に、「言われるがまま尽くしたけど愛されないまま死んでしまった」というより、もっと自分が愛する方に積極的な気がします。「胸が空っぽな相手を救いたい、愛する方法がわかるように」みたいな。 それとfluidの訳が愛液なのが歌詞の中で一番気になります。 歌い手が女の子で、相手は男性の恋人だと勝手に思っていたのが、サムネ詐欺で歌い手は男性側？ はたまた女の子同士なのでしょうか。 謎のまま7年が経ちました…(´￢`)

I always forget how amazing Mili's music is and then they release a new song and I fall in love with them all over again

Man, so dark and beautiful at the same time. One of my favorite songs from mili so far. Scary too, very well done

This band's music is lovely, but i always get the chills from the lyrics.

Miliのコメント欄、英語の考察が結構面白くて且つ読解の勉強になるから楽しい

I haven't heard this since the year it was released and I experienced whiplash upon seeing it come up in my recommended! Still gives me chills!

こういう曲好き

Rise and fall 차오르고 빠져나가는 Silver moon tide erased my foot prints 달빛 파도가 제 발자국을 지웠어요 Then I picked up broken scales 그리고 저는 깨진 비늘들을 주워서 Stuck them to my tail 제 꼬리에 박아넣었어요 Ah 아아, If love truly makes you blind 진정 사랑이 당신의 눈을 멀게 한다면, Then I guess 그렇다면 전 There is no need to see 아무 것도 볼 필요가 없을 것 같네요 I'll trade my eyes 제 눈을 드린다면 So you can see for me 절 보실 수 있을거에요 Lulala lulalila 루 라 라 루라 리라 Stay with me 저와 함께 있으면 You will never be sad 절대로 슬프지 않을 거에요.

人魚の歌なのに歌詞を見ると何故かサナギのイメージが湧く 1度ドロドロに蕩けて作り直して生まれ変わるサナギ

I always love your songs!!

Her voice is so wonderful!!! 💕💕💕

Not me just realizing the artwork matches the lyrics like when she says "ill give you my eyes so you can see for me" (or something like that) she has an eyepatch on in the background, and when she says "cut me open and give me gills so i can breathe" her chest is cut in the art

水面に目玉と心臓と脳みそが浮いてるの今更気付いた……

新曲だ！！サイコーです！！

待ってましたー

This is really beautiful and well done. The way the music flows reminds me so much of Deemo, and I really enjoy it. Very captivating.

Never have I wanted to click the like button over and over again until now.

Beautiful! Can't stop listening!

This song is so beautiful! Great job once again~

a dark twist added to her sweet songs, yet calming and and beautiful to hear.

"And then I gave you my eyes, to see all the colours" "And then I gave you my brain, so that you can learn to love." As an individual that is colorblind and asexual, this calls out to me in a kind of frightening way.

新曲待ってました

やはり素敵…！これからも応援しています！！

this song is barely a love song. quite the contrary, actually its about a girl who changes herself, gives everything, and in return gets nothing from the man that she loves. she desperately wants him to love her back. he doesn't care about her at all and it's usually implied both heavily and vaguely at times "and then I gave you my heart, to fill in the emptiness in your chest. and then I gave you my brain, so you could learn to love" (implying he doesn't love her, or is just an emotionless husk of a person altogether) "transform myself, once and for all" "reborn, reform" (implying she wants to change herself so that the man will love her) "if im covered in scars, will you look at me?" (implying he doesn't pay attention to her or shuns her for her appearance and/or her personality or obsession with him altogether) she convinces herself that being with him is going to be possible, and that he will love her too. she goes to such extents that assures her that it means he HAS to love her after everything she does for him. it's a very sad and dark song if you go in depth. the man is horrible to her, but she wants love and attention; she has chosen him to be the one that provides said love and attention, going beyond her limits just so she can feel appreciated and acknowledged. she pledges herself to him to insistently. so desperately. she's lost all train of thought and lacks common sense, being literally BLINDED by this love she has invented. shit's fucked, yo!

This song is so nostalgic (in an unsettling way I can’t seem to find anywhere else) to me and I don’t know why.

I needed this song in my life. Thank you!

The instrumentals, the voice, they were all so nice. I really like this song.

Freeeeek. The colours drew me away from what the image really looked like. DARN YOU BRIGHT, CUTE COLOURS!!!

Full English lyrics below, please let me know if any corrections should be made: Bathtub Mermaid Rise and fall Silver moon tide erased my foot prints Then I picked up broken scales Stuck them to my tail Ah If love truly makes you blind Then I guess There is no need There is no need to see I’ll trade my eyes So you can see for me Lulala lulalila Stay with me You will never be sad I I will embrace Embrace your bubbles your fluids And keep you warm Then I will squeeze out Squeeze out your germs your spore your viruses I I will embrace Embrace your membranes your bones And keep you cool Then I will squeeze out Squeeze out your evil your grim and your woe Transform myself Once and for all Sink into the tub Reborn Reform Twist my legs to one and mind to none Tell me tell me What do you see In the mirror that’s covered in chalky steam Touch me touch me Kiss me to sleep Cut me open and give me gills So I can breathe With tweezers and nippers Trim off my fins And forever I’ll be yours I won’t fight or make you cry Whatever you need Whenever you need I’ll be by your side And then I gave you my eyes To see all the colours And then I gave you my ears To hear all the sirens And then I gave you my heart To fill in the emptiness in your chest And then I gave you my brain So that you can learn to love Tell me tell me What do you see In the water that’s clinging onto my skin Cut me cut me Please make it deep If I’m covered in scars Will you look at me Kiss me kiss me Don’t leave me be I’m a bathtub mermaid I cannot swim but only sing Just pull the plug Flush down all our memories Into the sea
