I'm with you there. Especially cuz rhythmically the lyrics sorta scan like it's in 3/4 or 6/8, so I'd love a dark, moody ballad that sounds confused, anxious, etc. Ayu's faster rock songs - the ones she calls "rock" even when they're not lol - are much more about confidence (or at least put-on confidence) than this. The "looking for help" nature of these lyrics definitely gives me more of a Duty/SCAR/Shape of love/Don't look back vibe.
