わだかまり describes a difficult feeling that remains stuck in your heart, such as resentment, discomfort, or unresolved tension. It is more nuanced than simply saying "anger" or "sadness."
In the song, the singer calls this emotional burden something that probably cannot completely disappear, making the word a memorable expression of complicated feelings in a relationship.
The title, 「名もなき詩」 ["a poem with no name"], tells you the whole plan: the singer wants to hand someone a love song, and he admits from the start that love is too shapeless to label. It is a scrappy, honest love letter. Early on he calls himself 「ノータリン」 ["an airhead"], a jokey, slightly old-fashioned slang word for someone with nothing in their head, and then promises to eat every bit of his partner's mess and give them his most precious thing. It's over the top, and that's the charm.
The middle of the song is the part people remember. He sings about being stuck in 「自分らしさの檻」 ["the cage of being yourself"], a cage you built without noticing, and instead of preaching he just says 「僕だってそうなんだ」 ["I'm the same way too"]. Then comes his big idea: 「愛はきっと奪うでも 与えるでもなくて」 ["love isn't taking or giving"], it's 「気が付けばそこにある物」 ["something that's just there when you notice"]. His advice is blunt: 「妙なプライドは捨ててしまえばいい」 ["just throw away your weird pride"], and 「足元をごらんよきっと転がってるさ」 ["look at your feet, it's probably lying right there"]. Learner tip: ごらん is a softer, older way of saying "look", and the darlin' lines are English dropped into Japanese, which J-pop does all the time.
