Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

言葉は全てを焼き尽くす
あたしはそれでも声を聞く
言葉は全てを焼き尽くし
あたしの全ても焼き尽くす

あなたはあたしの何を好み
あなたは私の何を好む?
あなたはあたしの何を愛し
あなたは私の何を愛す?
あなたはあたしの愛を
何ものとして受けとめるの?
あなたはあたしの愛を
何ものとしてなげ捨てたの?

言葉は全てを焼き尽くす
あたしはそれでも声を聞く
言葉は全てを焼き尽くし
あたしの全ても焼き尽くす

あなたはあたしの何を好み
あなたは私の何を好む?
あなたはあたしの何を愛し
あなたは私の何を愛す?
あなたはあたしの愛を
何ものとして位置づけるの?
あなたはあたしの愛を
何ものとして消しさったの?

言葉は全てを焼き尽くす
あたしはそれでも声を聞く
言葉は全てを焼き尽くし
あたしの全ても焼き尽くす
あなたは全てを焼き尽くし
あたしの全ても焼き尽くす




あなたは全てを焼き尽くす
あたしはそれでもただ尽くす

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "尽くす" sung by Mio Sasakawa starts with the words, "Words burn everything down, yet I still listen to its voice". These lines convey the intensity of the singer's love, which is so powerful that it ends up burning everything to the ground. The repetition of the phrase "あたし" ("atashi"), meaning "I" or "me" emphasizes the singer's individual voice and the emotions they are experiencing. The next few lines ask the questions of what the listener loves about the singer and how they value their love. However, the tone shifts dramatically as the singer accuses the listener of tossing away their love without a second thought.


Despite the hurt and pain that comes with the relationship, the singer cannot escape the attraction they have towards their partner. The lyrics then circle back to the beginning with the words repeating and emphasizing that words can indeed destroy everything, yet the singer still listens to them. In the last few lines, the singer states that despite the listener burning everything they have, the singer still pledges to give their all to them, thus completing the cycle of explosive love and devotion.


Overall, "尽くす" captures the complicated and consuming feeling that come with being in love with someone who may not reciprocate it fully. Through the lyrics, the issues of power control, toxic behavior, and complete devotion to another person are explored in a powerful manner.
