中山美穂 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
どういうつもり?
魂胆が見え透いて性格が可愛くない
Close Up 髪の滴が
色っぽいでしょ
シャッター・チャンスを狙ってよ
You あなたはただの友達のはず
どうしてよ見られると夢まで爆発しそう
Close Up 望遠レンズ
覗くみたいに
もうあなたしか見えないの
存在感 大きな人ね
そういうの私好きよ
Close Up Close Up Close Up
Close Up
第六感 未来ごと今
急接近感じてるわ
Close Up Close Up Close Up
Close Up
Just 理想とかなり
ほど遠いけど我慢しとくわ
もうすこしおとなしいビキニにすればよかった
Close Up 風景だけが
遠のいてくの
過激なポーズしてあげる
存在感 キラキラでしょ
人気をひとりじめよ

The song "Close Up" by 中山美穂 is about being in the spotlight and the fascination that comes with it. The lyrics speak about being watched and judged, while also giving a nod to the superficial aspects of fame. The first verse talks about someone taking pictures of the singer by the pool, which she sees through as a disingenuous attempt to capture her essence. She also comments on the voyeuristic nature of photography, with lines like "Close up, hair droplets, aren't they sexy? Aim for the shutter chance."
The second verse becomes more personal as the singer addresses her feelings towards a friend who she has developed romantic feelings for. She questions why her dreams explode when they look at her and admits that she can only see him now. The bridge of the song has her commenting on loving the attention and the fascination that comes with being in the spotlight. She talks about liking the feeling of being the only one in the room and having a sixth sense when it comes to people.
Overall, "Close Up" is a catchy and upbeat pop song that speaks to youth and the need to be seen and appreciated. The lyrics comment on the artificial and superficial nature of fame, while also exploring the sensations of love and attraction.
