あの夜は少し肌寒くて
下ろしたての服がちょうど良かった
きみの寝癖はたのしそう
わたしのくせ毛はどうだろう

あの夜は少し心細くて
拗ねた素振りをちょいとかました
きみが頑張って笑う

だからわたしもそうした

何も知らないくせに、って
知らせなかっただけなのにね
ずるいんだ
わたしもきみも

ただふたりキラキラ笑って
それだけのことが
やけに難しくって疲れたの
もう疲れたの
たのしいもうれしいも
ほんとはどこにあるのかな

あの夜は何故か鮮明で
行くあてもなく話して歩いた
きみはきっと忘れてる
わたしは全部覚えてる

何も知らないくせに、って
知ろうとしないだけなのにね
ずるいんだ
わたしもきみも

ただふたりキラキラ笑って
それだけのことが
やけに難しくって疲れたの
もう疲れたの

ただふたりキラキラ笑って
並んでいたかった
それだけのことが
わたしときみには難しかった
それだけのことよ

誰も責めないよ
ほんとのたのしいとうれしいを
探そうか

あなたがわたしをつくってしまった
わたしがあなたをつくってしまった

あなたがわたしをつくってしまった
わたしがあなたをつくってしまった

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in 緑黄色社会's song "キラキラ" describe a night where the singer and someone else, presumably their partner, were together. Despite the chill in the air, the singer had just the right clothes on and found their partner's messy hair endearing. However, the singer also felt a bit lost that night and sulked a bit, but their partner made an effort to cheer them up by smiling. The song then delves into the idea of how both the singer and their partner were "unfair" to each other without knowing it, simply by not communicating well enough. This inability to communicate effectively led to the simple act of laughing together becoming difficult and tiring. Nevertheless, the singer reflects on how they want to find genuine happiness together with their partner and take responsibility for building their relationship.
