Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby come wit' me
Imma show you something you've never seen before
Come and take my hands
Imma show you something you've never seen before uh!

I know it's our secret
Gotta keep it to yourself tonight
Here we go now!

Yami ni mi wo tsutsunda kara escape
Nukedasu saki wa itsumono that spot
Aizu shitara I will let you get inside
Handoru nigiri shimete drive away

Machigau? Yume?
Maboroshi na no?
Wakatteite mo I can't help it
Kakusenai kimochi
Kounaru hazu janakatta no ni

Tojita kokoro te moto ni wa so many keys
Himitsu no kagi dore de open your heart
Donna kimi misete kureru?
Tomaranai taboo
Tomerarenai taboo

Takusan no dream & secret love
Watashi to nara which one do you like?
En de mite mo I'll take the handle away
Kimi no handoru nigiri shimete drive away

Kakete miru?
It's party night
Nemurenai I can't help it
Ato modori dekinai
Kounaru hazu janakatta no ni

Tojita kokoro te moto ni wa so many keys
Himitsu no kagi dore de open your heart
Donna kimi misete kureru?
Tomaranai taboo
Tomerarenai taboo

Musuu ni chirabaru
Naka da toshitemo mitsukerareru kara
Kokoro no doa hiraku
Tatta hitotsu no kagi donna shudan demo...

Tameshite minakya wakaranai koto mo aru kara
Saa, me wo tojite
Kidan no tobira

I know it's our secret
Gotta keep it to yourself tonight
Can't stop how I feel
Kounaru hazu janakatta no ni

Tojita kokoro te moto ni wa so many keys
Himitsu no kagi dore de open your heart
Donna kimi misete kureru?
Tomaranai taboo
Tomerarenai taboo

Aita tobira te moto ni wa the one key
Himitsu no doa kore de open your heart
Donna mirai misete kureru?

歌詞

Baby come wit' me
Imma show u something you've never seen before
Come and take my hands
Imma show u something you've never seen before UH!

I know it's our secret
Gotta keep it to yourself tonight

Here we go now!

闇に身を包んでから escape
抜け出す先はいつもの that spot
合図したら Imma let you get inside
ハンドル握りしめて drive away

間違い? ユメ?
幻なの?
わかっていても I can't help it
隠せない 気持ち
こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心 手元には so many keys
秘密の鍵 どれで open your heart
どんな君 みせてくれる?
止まらない TABOO
止められない TABOO

たくさんの dream & secret love
私となら which one do you like?
選んでみても I'll take the handle away
君のハンドル握りしめて drive away

賭けてみる?
it's party night
眠れない I Can't help it
後戻り 出来ない
こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心 手元には so many keys
秘密の鍵 どれで open your heart
どんな君 みせてくれる?
止まらない TABOO
止められない TABOO

無数に散らばる
中だとしても 見つけられるから
心のドア開く
たった一つの鍵 どんな手段でも…

試してみなきゃ わからないこともあるから
さぁ 目を閉じて
禁断の扉

I know it's our secret
Gotta keep it to yourself tonight
Can't stop how I feel
こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心 手元には so many keys
秘密の鍵 どれで open your heart
どんな君 みせてくれる?
止まらない TABOO
止められない TABOO

開いた扉 手元には the one key
秘密のドア これで open your heart
どんな未来 みせてくれる?
止まらない TABOO

@com-ft6kt

個人的にこの曲は衝撃的だった記憶あります!

シングルの可愛い感じのanytime来た後のカッコイイ系のアルバムKingdom…

発売されて間もなくあの失言をされ
色々バッシングを受けて、ネットでは批判の嵐、誹謗中傷…ファンとして見たくないほどのショックを受けると同時に、
言ってしまったことが事だったので、芸能活動が少なくなると思ってましたので、活動すれば、また、批判の嵐が来ると不安でしたので、、引退するのかなとも思ってました。

そして活動開始で、シングルの発売が決まり…想いが一杯詰まったムンクラ(MOON)でファンとの距離が縮まり、

まだこの時期は
ファンとしては活動として萎縮?していく不安が…まだあり、
本当は引退したいんじゃないかなと思ってた時期に

このシングルのTABOOが発売され聴いた時に、やはり倖田來未は倖田來未のまま守りじゃなくて、攻めが最大の守りであると同時に、、倖田來未が思ったカッコいいをストレートに表現することを続けて行くんだなと生き方に尊敬したし、またこれ見て応援したいと思いましたね!!
そして、日本の音楽業界は大人しい曲が多いからビシッと見せつけ、カッコ良すぎて、めちゃくちゃシビれるな!!!!!と思いました。

語彙力なさ過ぎて伝わらなかったかもしれないですが、カッコいいを続ける意思を魅せてもらった曲であり、また、応援したくなった曲でした。

これからも応援します

A lot of people don't know how shocking this was (and still is) in Japan when it was released. She will FOREVER be an icon <3 I love Koda Kumi!!! <3

@erikjj235

Yes! And it was #1 on the oricon

@abdouu5300

@Erik jj as it should

@mahmamia5100

Which is funny because it was far from the first time Kumi promoted same-sex relations in her music/videos (BUT and Imasugu Hoshii come to mind immediately).

So happy this became one of her signature songs, though. It's awesome.
