The phrase "GOLDENFISH!! ヨゾラヲ群れ泳ぐ" can be interpreted as the lovers swimming together in the night sky, filled with a sense of freedom and belonging. Similarly, "SILVER FOX!! ダマサレDAY DREAM!" suggests that they are caught up in a daydream-like state, where their love feels surreal.

The lyrics also mention the common elements of their relationship, such as the usual kisses and the acknowledgment that the other person is cool and intriguing ("マヤカシのYOU ARE COOL!"). However, there is also a desire to know more about each other and explore their shared history ("知りたくMORE NIGHT!! 過去のHISTORY"). The lines "TOO MUCH TOO BRIGHT, TOO SO SPECIAL BEAUTY TOTNIGHT" and "TOO BIG TOO STRONG, YOU ARE WONDERFUL GIRL" emphasize the intensity and admiration they have for one another.
