fin
中森明菜 Lyrics

The song "Fin" by Akina Nakamori begins with the phrase "Passion is a glass door", which seems to allude to the fragility of emotions in a relationship. The line "It cools sadly to the point of burning" suggests that the intensity of one's love can also lead to a deep sense of sadness and even pain. The lyrics then describe a desire to hold onto a moment when the two individuals were happy, hoping that they can "become a constellation together", and that their love will never fade.

However, there is also a sense of resignation, as the singer admits that she will eventually embrace someone else, someone beautiful, in her arms. She keeps her tears inside and hides them in her coat, pretending to hold a pistol in her hand as if to conceal the emotional pain she is experiencing. There is a character referred to as "you" who seems to be someone the singer both leans on and desires, all the while understanding the foolishness of love. In the end, the lyrics suggest that the distance between the two might lead to a parting, and that a breakup wouldn't be surprising.

Overall, "Fin" is a poignant and multifaceted portrayal of love, desire, and hope, mingled with sadness and regret. The desire to keep emotions in check, the acceptance that one's relationship might come to an end, and the recognition of the fleeting nature of life and love all come together in a song that captures both the pain and the beauty of human experience.
