Kuro no Rhapsody
BOØWY Lyrics

The lyrics of BOØWY's "Kuro no Rhapsody" paint a picture of a seductive encounter between two people. The opening lines describe a woman who is playful and a man who is skillful at telling lies. They both feel the rush of excitement as they touch each other, and the lyrics capture this feeling with the line, "目眩は 黒のラプソディー," which roughly translates to "dizziness is the black rhapsody." The imagery of the color black is carried through the song, emphasizing the darkness and intensity of their union.

As the night progresses, they shed their inhibitions and clothes, and the lyrics describe the woman ripping off her tight skirt and the man using his middle finger to skillfully touch her. The singer asks repeatedly if their dangerous rhythm and bodies are okay, as if questioning the morality of their actions. However, they give in to their desires and find satisfaction in each other's arms, living in a dream for the night.

Despite the intensity of their encounter, the refrain "It's not serious love, everybody knows but we don't know" suggests that they are aware that their relationship is superficial and temporary. The lyrics are a reflection of the fleeting nature of passion and the knowledge that it often does not last beyond the night.
