Vanilla
GACKT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
綺麗な指でボクをなぞる
僕は純粋な terrorist
キミの想うがままに革命が起きる
恋に縛られた specialist
長い爪を立てられたボク
愛を確かめたい egoist
キミの奥までたどりつきたい
君の顔が遠ざかる
Ah ボクがボクで無くなる前に
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ もっと 深く
狂おしいくらいに慣れた唇が
溶け合うほどに
ボクは キミの Vanilla
「ナンテ気取りすぎ」
そんな cool なキミは plastic
熱い眼差しには ecologist
その燃えるくちづけがもどかしい
歪んでいくキミの顔が
Ah 僕がボクでいられマスように
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ もっと 速く
苦しいくらいに 濡れた唇が
言葉なんてもう
君と僕 not burning love
Ah いくつ朝を迎えれば
Ah 夜は終わるのだろうか
Ah 空に散りばめられた
Ah 白い花に囲まれて逝く
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ
「I've seen a tail」
悔しいくらいに
キミにハマってるのに
A crew sees crying knees
I wanna need, not betray!
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ もっと 君を
狂おしいくらいに慣れた腰つきが
溶け合うほどに
君は ボクの 番人だ
In GACKT's song Vanilla, the singer and their love interest are presented as polar opposites - the singer as a "pure terrorist" and the love interest as a "sincere moralist." Despite this, they are drawn to each other, with the singer describing themselves as a "specialist bound by love" and the love interest as an "egotistic" and "beautiful" figure. The singer expresses a desire to know the love interest more intimately, to the point of "tracing" through their thoughts, and is willing to be consumed by their passion for each other ("not burning love").
The lyrics illustrate a complex emotional dynamic between two people who are fundamentally different, and the power dynamics that exist within such a relationship. The singer seems to be the one more consumed by their feelings, describing their love interest as their "vanilla," or their source of pleasure, while the love interest is described with more detached language. Despite this, the two are presented as equals in their "revolution," with the love interest having the power to incite change through their desires and the singer willing to follow.
The song presents a narrative of love and passion that verges on the obsessive, with both characters being consumed by their connection to each other. It explores themes of power, control, and the nature of attraction and love, ultimately leaving the listener with a sense of the complicated nature of human relationships.

I am a 86 years old Japanese GACKT fan since 63 years old days. I have been in love with my husband and GACKT for more than 20 years. I enjoyed GACKT's 2023 wonderful acoustic live in last March. His voice was stronger and more beautiful than in these ten years live . I wish I could write in better English. Anyway I want everybody know that he is still singing in good condition.
Thank you.
