Honey Trap
秦基博 Lyrics

In "Honey Trap" by 秦基博 (Motohiro Hata), the lyrics depict a sweet yet dangerous love affair. The opening lines suggest that there is nothing in their way anymore and that they are already beginning something. The singer describes falling recklessly in love and being unable to resist the allure of a trap made of overly sweet fruit. Once they have reached out for it, there is no turning back, and they are hooked by the taste of its honey.

The singer confesses that even if someone else is by the side of the person they fell in love with, it doesn't matter because they are undeterred. It's as if they have a mutual understanding of being partners in crime, conveyed through a moment of eye contact. They are aware that there are no hindrances and that between them, there is only conventional wisdom and boring rationality. They have no vision of what tomorrow holds, but they cannot resist their overflowing emotions.

The song continues by expressing that the relationship is not built on surface-level pretenses or empty words. The intensity of their connection is reflected in their damp eyes and whispered voices. The singer yearns to take the person away and dislikes the thought of them displaying their smile to someone else. They reiterate that there is nothing in their way except for their own fears and troublesome pasts. The future holds no importance, as long as they surrender to their uncontrollable feelings.

The lyrics conclude by emphasizing that everything in their path disappears, leaving only a frustratingly close distance between them. Despite the uncertainty of tomorrow, their overflowing emotions cannot be stopped.
