BUCK-TICK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

春 繰る 夏 喰う
秋は異形で
サヨナラだ

血を吐く束の間
這いずる束の間

春 狂 夏 空
秋は異形で




サヨナラだ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to BUCK-TICK's song "Seraphim" are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. However, it appears to describe the passing of seasons and the inevitability of change. The lyrics suggest that spring "unravels" (繰る) and summer "devours" (喰う), while autumn is something foreign and strange ("異形で"). The repeated phrase "sayonara da" (さよならだ) emphasizes the finality of this transformation.


The imagery becomes more intense in the second verse, describing moments of struggle and despair. "Blood vomits for an instant" suggests a violent outburst, while "crawling for an instant" implies a difficult, exhausting effort to move forward. The second half of the verse repeats the same themes as the first, with an emphasis on the fleeting nature of life.


What ties these themes together is the idea of transition and transformation. The seasons themselves are a metaphor for the passage of time and the way that everything eventually changes. The phrase "seraphim" itself refers to a type of angel, indicating a spiritual or heavenly dimension to these changes. The lyrics suggest that even amidst struggle and suffering, there is still a sense of something transcendent and beautiful.
