かきあげながら 背中にじむ汗気にしてる
ウインク 鏡ごし ワイセツな唇
悪戯色のルージュ 今ひき直して オマエは...
冷めた KISS はスリリングに
サーフサイドテラス 海辺のアヴェニュー
俺の口に濡れたタバコくわえさせて...
男をダメにする 灼けた肌のシルエット
ブラインドのすき間が細い光うつす
"OH ONE MINUTES
爪たてちゃ ちょっとイタイゼ やめてくれ"
ジグソーの様な摩天楼ぬけ
カクテルドレス ヒールつまみ
灼けたアスファルト 素足のまま踊るオマエ
さっきつけたコロンの香が 俺の前をすり抜けてく
ちぎれたネックレス 悪びれてる余裕もない
ハスッパな夢に気絶しそうな程
恋によく似た Feeling 真夏にジェラシー
モノクロのジョークと恋にはケリつけて
真夏の蜃気楼に思わずため息サ
MIDNIGHT MARINE BLUE
夜明けには冷めた 投げ KISS で
笑いながら"サヨナラ"なんて言えるのか
ハスッパな夢に気絶しそうな程
恋によく似た Feeling 真夏にジェラシー
ハスッパな夢に気絶しそうな程
恋によく似た Feeling 真夏にジェラシー
The song "唇にジェラシー" by BOØWY opens with the singer’s musings after taking a shower. While ruffling his wet hair, he notices the sweat on his back and the lustful, rouge lips he had painted earlier. The lyrics suggest that he is feeling tantalized, almost disturbed by his own sensuality. Later, he recalls a casual kiss that he shares with his companion on a beach, which he describes as ice-cold but thrilling. The man, almost captivated by his own desire, is susceptible to women, particularly those who are free-spirited and conspire to ignite a feeling of jealousy in him.
Throughout the song, we can see that the singer feels weighed down by a combination of his own lustful feelings and the heat of summer. He describes his companion’s silhouette against the sun-kissed skin as a potent mix, which seems to render him weak at the knees. The line "ハスッパな夢に気絶しそうな程", roughly translating to "almost fainting at the unrealistic dreams," suggests that he is aware of the impermanence of his passion and that it is meant to be enjoyed briefly before fading just like the summer sun.
In summary, the song "唇にジェラシー" by BOØWY is about a man's struggle with his own sexuality and the freedom that his companion inspires in him. He is captured by the heat of summer and the moment, longing to hold on to it despite its ephemeral nature.
