愛は生命
ジュディ・オング Lyrics

The lyrics to ジュディ・オング's song 愛は生命 speak to the complex emotions of a woman who finds herself caught between two different kinds of love. One is the love that she has grown up with, nurtured in her heart and kept close to her chest. The other is the love of a man which she has felt on her skin, a physical passion that is difficult to untangle from the sadness that comes with it. The woman feels trapped by her own emotions, unable to deny her feelings but also unable to express them fully. She is unable to cry or find solace, and every passing night seems to deepen her sense of despair.

The lyrics continue to paint a picture of a simple woman, one who is content with small pleasures like watching the occasional movie or going shopping. She longs for a life that is uncomplicated and free from this weighty emotional burden, but somewhere along the way, she began waiting for someone. This waiting has made her aware of a deep-seated sense of longing within her that keeps her up at night. The chorus of the song asks whether love means cutting off the very essence of life, or drowning out one's own self entirely. The woman's path is uncertain as she struggles to find happiness in unfamiliar places, crying over dreams that seem to elude her.
