太陽は知っている
柏原芳恵 Lyrics

The lyrics of 柏原芳恵's song 太陽は知っている (Taiyou wa Shitteiru) speak of a desire to be perceived as a bad girl, expressed through a desire to throw socks, gaze with malicious eyes, and wear only studs that draw compliments. Despite being charmed by the singer's docile demeanor, the singer finds her far too easy to manipulate and control, frustrated that her buttons come undone too quickly. The chorus repeats the phrase "抱かれてアデュー" (Dakarete adieu, or "embraced farewell"), suggesting that despite her flirting and scheming, the singer is aware that the relationship is fleeting, marked by dangerous emotions which the sun alone recognises.

Throughout the song, the singer's perspective comes across as a mix of desire and defiance, hinting at an underlying insecurity that's masked by the desire for control. Though the desire to be a "bad girl" is expressed, it seems more out of a sense of feeling trapped and wanting to break free from perceived expectations or limitations. The song's title seems to fit this narrative well; "The Sun Knows" suggests a kind of all-knowing presence, as if the natural world is aware of desires and emotions that the other characters in the song cannot see.
