12月発表の'Etc'に続いてめっちゃ良い曲。身も蓋もない言い方だけど、センス良すぎてもはや面白い。はじめて聴いた'Blood'からこの曲まで全曲好き。駆け上がっていってほしいな。
“My first few lines in this song reference a predetermined goal and the act of running in place; it places the character in a side-scroller video game. It’s the everyday grind taken literally but augmented in the context of a game with objectives, points, a finite amount of lives, etc. When the day is done however, the protagonist exits the simulation and ponders the sentience of the console, feeling strange about the possibility after several hours of manipulation. When I was little I was obsessed with my gamecube, but after entering cheat codes on my Harvest Moon game, I felt sooooooo guilty. I impulsively deleted my game data and later had recurring nightmares about my gamecube’s anger towards me, something I knew was unrealistic but felt so creepy and real.” - Elana Riorda
