ピントはずれの わがままジュリエット
笑いかけた恋が 邪魔になれば
傷つくだけの 夢が転がるネ
(Don't you cry) はなればなれじゃ cry, cry, cry
(Don't you cry) 悲しがらすような how to love
アンニュイ last night おざなりな play 漂うだけ
愛も夢も so easy から回りで
何一つ残ってないけど
(Don't you cry) すげない仕草の my darling
(Don't you cry) 馴れ合いの指に for good chase
Friday night 笑い声が想い出に変わる
ヨコシマな day dream
なげやりな irony
裏切りの rainy day
ヨコシマな day dream
悲しみの シンパシー
(Don't you cry) はなればなれじゃ cry, cry, cry
(Don't you cry) 悲しがらすような
(Don't you cry) すげない仕草の my darling
(Don't you cry) 馴れ合いの指に for good chase
Friday night 笑い声が想い出に染まる
ヨコシマな day dream
なげやりな irony
裏切りの rainy day
ヨコシマな day dream
なげやりな irony
裏切りの rainy day
ヨコシマな day dream
なげやりな irony
裏切りの rainy day
The lyrics to "わがままジュリエット" by Boøwy speak about a tumultuous and selfish love, represented by the title character of Juliet. The singer describes her as a "selfish" and "off-focus" being, whose presence can disrupt the laughter and happiness of their love. The verse "crying face with a smile, worn-out shine, and dancing in the rain, even though we're off-focus, selfish Juliet" refers to the struggle of trying to maintain a happy relationship even when one partner's desires are not aligned with the other's.
The chorus, with its repeated phrase "Don't you cry," suggests that the singer is trying to reassure themselves that their love will ultimately work out, despite the obstacles they face. Friday night's "laughter turning into memories" suggests that even the happiest moments can be fleeting, and the singer's "last night's ennui" implies that they are plagued by a sense of meaninglessness and disconnection.
Overall, the song describes a love that is both passionate and painful, representing the complexity of relationships and the challenges that can arise when pursuing one's desires.
