有り余る愛
清木場俊介 Lyrics

The lyrics of 清木場俊介's song 有り余る愛 ("Ariamaru Ai" - Excessive Love) delve into the complex emotions and struggles within a relationship where one partner craves more love and affection than the other may be able to give. The opening lines suggest a surplus of desire for something, paralleled by the presence of the beloved individual before the singer. The repeated desire for comforting words echoes the sentiment of storing away words unspoken yet deeply felt in one's heart. The concept of tangible "love" being demanded from the singer by the beloved further highlights the plea for emotional connection and affirmation.

The lyrics portray a cycle of emotional vulnerability and communication breakdown within the relationship. The beloved consistently voices a feeling of lacking love from the singer, leading to a sense of helplessness and confusion on how to address this perceived inadequacy. The image of the beloved unexpectedly bowing their head and shedding tears unveils their emotional fragility, becoming a poignant reflection of the singer's entire world at that moment.

The singer expresses a desire to possess and contain the beloved within themselves if granted forgiveness, showcasing a possessive yet protective instinct to hold onto the bond between them. The imagery of intertwining hands with metaphorical handcuffs symbolizes the effort to prevent further sorrow and misunderstandings, even if it means using deceptive lies without form to protect the beloved. The repeated assertion that love is invisible and fades away upon deeper examination underscores the ephemeral nature of love and the inherent challenges of understanding and sustaining it.

As the song progresses, there is a realization of the depth of one's love for the beloved, despite the intangible and elusive nature of love itself. The surprising act of a sudden kiss and the sight of the beloved smiling reflect the essence of the singer's all-encompassing love. The closing repetition of the beloved demanding tangible love and expressing a sense of lacking affection, coupled with their tears and vulnerability, encapsulates the singer's profound dedication and vulnerability in their current state. The lyrics of "有り余る愛" capture the intricacies of longing, emotional neediness, and the struggle to bridge the divide between two hearts in a relationship characterized by imbalances and unspoken desires.
