The lyrics are melancholic, but the instruments and singing are not. This is personal opinion, that's all. It's not the lyrics that I don't feel match, but the everything else about the song. It's a bit like Mai Otome's ED, where you'd get this really happy song right after a dramatic and/or tragic cliffhanger. Really jarring.
The overall music package in SSY feels really muted and forgettable to me. If it wasn't for the amazing track that plays over the opening title, I'm not sure I'd remember any of it in a year.
