赤黄色の金木犀
フジファブリック Lyrics

The lyrics of 赤黄色の金木犀 by フジファブリック are filled with poignant sentiments of longing, nostalgia, and a sense of urgency to convey one's emotions. The song portrays the introspection of the singer who wishes to communicate their feelings to someone who has already departed from their life. The opening verse conveys the wishful thinking of the singer to convey all their emotions to the person who has already left, even though they know it's impossible. Still, they have prepared themselves emotionally to do so.

The next verse is about how quickly time seems to move forward. The singer decides to pick up the pace in the remaining few months and make the most of his time. The following verse describes the feeling of nostalgia that overcomes the singer while walking back home. The sweet smell of the golden osmanthus flower (also known as Kinmokusei in Japanese) creates restlessness in their heart, and all of a sudden, their chest begins to ache for no apparent reason.

The last verse describes the singer's reflection on the current state of their life. Their thoughts are tangled-up, and they have become disoriented. The nostalgic aroma of the golden osmanthus flower continues to fill their senses long after they have left the street. Although the lyrics do not make it clear, we can assume that the person whom the singer longs for was strongly associated with the aroma of the Kinmokusei flowers.
