Gokigen そうじやない 鉤裂き Heartache
今泣いたら負けよ!
愛の果実引き千切る時は
毒も皿も貪るものでしょ
棘を刺す聖人の目を背中に受けて
手に入れる恋もあるわ
堕ちるとこまで堕ちてスキャンダラス
Gokigen そうじやない 鉤裂き Heartache
今泣いたら負けよ！
ナイフの上歩いてる様ね
傷つけるため愛し合うみたい
苦しみは肩代り出来ないけれど
抱きしめる腕があるわ
寂しくなったら夜はグラマラス
Tabetaku なるじゃない 直向 Heartbreak
楽しまなきゃ嘘よ!
They can feel it all over
それは love power
寂しくなったら夜はグラマラス
堕ちるとこまで堕ちてスキャンダラス
Gokiegen そうじゃない 鉤裂き Heartache
楽しまなきゃ嘘よ!
The lyrics of 中森明菜 (Akina Nakamori)'s song "Heartbreak" convey a message of embracing the turbulent, scandalous nature of love and the pain that comes with it. The first verse talks about how one should go all the way and embrace the scandalous nature of love before surrendering to it completely. The second verse talks about how love is a fruit that can be both sweet and poisonous, and how sometimes one has to bear the pain of being wounded by a saint-like lover before experiencing a true love.
The chorus of the song repeatedly says that one should not cry in love, as it is a sign of defeat. The bridge talks about how walking on a knife's edge is like falling in love, where one has to hurt in order to show affection. Despite this, there's always someone who can provide comfort and support in difficult times.
Overall, the song expresses a sense of acceptance towards the painful and complex nature of love, and encourages the listener to embrace it fully, no matter the cost.

But you can also get a love

Hurting each other, like loving

抱きしめる腕があるわ
There are arms to embrace you
