am i the only one who can't quite get over the "i see pinocchio wearing a poncho that's me some time ago" in tokyo, i assume he's using pinocchio as a symbol for lying? and poncho, is he talking about the ones to protect you from the rain?-

is this all a metaphor for him hiding behind lies to protect himself? it could be as then he proceeds to say "do i miss myself?" as if he had become someone he isn't, he's lost himself in lies and can't find who he truly is anymore-

"do i miss your face?" has he become this person who he can't recognize because of someone else? or is he still talking about himself? his past self who isn't really him anymore?-

"i don't know" proof that he has lost himself to the point where he can't even answer simple questions about who he is, the repetition of "i dont knows" are him losing his train of thoughts

that's where the music comes in, a repeating melody that remains the same during the whole song, the only thing that ties the lyrics together, the lyrics that seem to be a jumble of thoughts put together, but are obviously more complex than we might think

the whistle at the end? a whistle usually represents death... is this his past self dying or the current person he has become? is this a symbolism for him completely losing himself or finally finding who he truly is?

i was meant to be falling asleep while listening to mono it's almost 6am but i felt the need to write this down and i know no one will read this so im doing it here koo night

ps don't take this too seriously it probably makes no sense and is all wrong but idk i wanted to write it (and there are probably a ton of spelling mistakes)
