Gimmick Game
水樹奈々 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
深夜の red zone ビルの graphic
二人は星の endless light
Teaching your love, sweetest world
キスもその一つ?
強がりはほら 嘘のサイン
頬を撫でる仕草
君は genius?
月の陽炎 まるで気分はシンデレラ
ときめきの果て 追いかけさせたい
ついて来れるかな?
恋は煌めく stardust drive
ねぇ give me, give me your heart 愛じゃなくていいの
裸のココロ抱きしめて
心情に身を任せたら わたしを壊すほどに
ねぇ shaking, shaking emotion 昂るレゾナンス
禁断の labyrinth
そう君は 指先の gimmick game
口には出来ない「好き」が咲いて
君の色に染まってく
らしくない no pain, no gain
ブレーキはもう broken
潤む瞳は 強引なほど
リードしてたいジレンマ
神様教えてよ
胸の throbbing
愛罪の果実 甘い香り放つように
危険なサディスティック 絡まる rip waltz
交差する気持ち
恋は説けない contradiction
ねぇ save me, save me your love 感じてたいの
わざと解かない鎖の手錠
吐息だけが許される 感覚だけの制裁
ねぇ riding, riding in my soul 誘惑はアフェクション
永久の elegy
嗚呼せめて 夢なら醒めないで
購いたい distance 落下する fairy
隠せない pure face 気づいてよ
真っ逆さまの楽園 桃源に熟れる love song
ねぇ give me, give me your heart 愛は grow up
わたしのゼンブ抱きしめて
光の先を行こう だから君を教えて
ねぇ shaking, shaking emotion 信じていいかな?
君との love story
もうわたしは 君だけの gimmick game, oh
The song "Gimmick Game" by 水樹奈々 is about a relationship that is thrilling and passionate but also contradictory and complex. The lyrics describe the two lovers in the red zone of a building's graphics, basking in the endless light of the stars and teaching each other love. The singer wonders if a kiss is also part of this teaching, and notes that the other person's bravado is just a sign of their lies. She wonders if they are a genius and compares their feelings to a Cinderella who moves beyond her imagination to follow her heart. She describes love as a dazzling Stardust drive that she wants the other person to join her on, and asks them to "give me, give me your heart" before embracing her naked heart and exposing herself emotionally to the point of breaking. She notes that their relationship is a "gimmick game" played with fingertips, and that their love is a contradictory and inexplicable "contradiction" that she wants to save.
The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and metaphors that capture the ecstasy, danger, and complexity of love. The singer compares herself and her lover to celestial bodies, suggests that their love is both sweet and sinful, and paints a picture of them waltzing and struggling in a labyrinth of desire. The song is full of contrasts and contradictions, reflecting the tumultuous emotions of the singer and the unpredictability of love. The chorus is a plea for the other person to share their love and emotions with her, to ride the wave of passion and find their way to the light together. The song ends with a sense of playful resignation, as the singer acknowledges that their love is a game played with hidden rules and unpredictable outcomes, but that she is willing to play along as long as she can be with the person she loves.

歌も音程もぶれず、息も上げずに踊るなんて…奈々さんの努力は本当にすごい。応援し続けます！
@tedgalog
It's always a good day when a batch of Nana live videos are uploaded to YouTube - thanks! As a musician, I like to watch the backing band, too, and what stood out for me here was the nice little guitar solo, with equally nice guitar tone. And he wasn't the usual guitarist who takes the solos from all the videos I've seen. But they're all great musicians. Nana really knows how to put on a show.
@user-of1qy4tn6g
10年近く前のライブだけど、これだけ激しい振り付けありながら音程ブレない、声量が落ちない、歌詞カンペ無しなのが奈々さんの凄さたる所以。
