Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ugomeku uzumaku arekuruu zekkai
Shizumi yuku taiyou sora ni kirameku hoshi
Nami no oto to ore to omae Baby, I love you
Ii ka wasureru na yo ii sa wasurechimae
Kono yo wa zenbu omae no yume Baby, I love you
Shirizoku ka sentou ka ikinuku zekkai
Nagareru chi wa akaku hidoku akaku akaku
Anata ga ii anata ja wakaran I love you
Nagaruru namida naze, moroku hakanai yume
Anata ga ii anata ga ii Baby, I love you
Mujou da mujou da mujou da zekkai
Ugomeku uzumaku arekuruu zekkai
Shizumi yuku taiyou sora ni kirameku hoshi
Nami no oto to ore to oma Baby, I love you
Ii ka wasureru na yo ii sa wasurechimae
Kono yo wa zenbu omae no yume Baby, I love you
Mujou da mujou da mujou da zekkai
Mujou da mujou da mujou da zekkai
The lyrics of BUCK-TICK's song Zekkai contemplate the concept of an unbreakable barrier, which is described as harsh and cold, but also dangerously attractive at the same time. The repetition of the phrase "Mujou da mujou da mujou da zekkai" emphasizes this sense of relentlessness and inescapability. The imagery created in the lyrics suggests that the persona is standing at the edge of this barrier, facing a vast and tumultuous expanse, where only the strong survive. The use of the words "Ugomeku uzumaku" adds to the unsettling feeling of being trapped in a whirlpool of emotions, as if the persona is being dragged into a spiral that they can't control.
The lyrics also contain a sense of romanticism, as the persona speaks of love and dreams. The lines "Nami no oto to ore to omae Baby, I love you" and "Kono yo wa zenbu omae no yume Baby, I love you" suggest a deep connection with a significant other, but also the awareness that this love may be fleeting and transitory. The use of contrasting images throughout the lyrics, such as the sinking sun and sparkling stars, emphasize the complexity of emotions and experiences that the persona is going through.
Overall, BUCK-TICK's song Zekkai is a poignant and evocative exploration of the human condition, encompassing both the harsh realities of life and the fleeting moments of beauty and connection that make it all worthwhile.
