Give me ECSTASY
The lyrics to "ECSTASY" by 倖田來未 express a desire for a deeper connection and a more exhilarating life. The song talks about wanting to feel the present moment more intensely and wanting to live as one's true self. The chorus emphasizes the burning sensation, the thrill, and excitement that the singer wants to experience. The lyrics also touch upon the idea that material possessions or superficial excuses don't fulfill the longing for more excitement and stimulation. The singer wants a love that is passionate and intense, and they want to explore the true taste of love, even if it comes with pain. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to be desired and obtained, but also acknowledges that their life will go on even without that person.

これも懐かしいな。
最近またくぅちゃん聞く様になったしYouTubeもMVちょいちょい見たりするけどこの頃のくぅちゃんが一番好きかも⁉️
キツめのメイクもそうだけど勢いあったな～
今が勢いない訳じゃないけどさ。
やっぱ｢倖田來未｣って改めて思うのが｢歌｣上手いな‼️
当たり前の感想だけど。
最初くぅちゃん知ったのがTKプロデュースでBoAちゃんとのコラボだったか。
時の流れは本当早いな。
くぅちゃんまだまだ歌いつづけて下さいね❗️
