砂の扉
Chemistry Lyrics

The lyrics of "砂の扉" by Chemistry explore themes of love, longing, and sacrifice. In the first verse, the singer reflects on a past time when they were unaware of how deeply they would come to love the person they are addressing. They describe their desire to share fleeting moments of vulnerability and fragility together. The metaphor of a "砂の扉" (sand door) represents a delicate barrier that they unknowingly crossed when they reached out to touch the person's hand.

The second verse contemplates the possibility of breaking the person's walls and possessing them completely. The singer questions whether obtaining eternal love is achievable through such an act. They express a willingness to bear the burden of this forbidden love, even if it is deemed sinful.

The third verse explores a hypothetical scenario where the singer contemplates their own death and wonders if anyone would truly understand and recognize the depth of the person's grief. The singer observes the person, silently weeping and broken, and desires to confess their love for them, declaring that they loved them more than anyone else did.

In the fourth verse, the singer describes a physical intimacy, symbolized by the person's long hair tangling with their clothing. They express a desire to slowly uncover and collect every aspect of the person, wanting to possess and keep them within their hands.

The following lines, "あなたの現実を 邪魔するつもりはないの" (I have no intention of obstructing your reality) and "優しい君の嘘で 堕ちる所まで 堕ちてしまおう" (Let's fall together, until we reach the point where your gentle lies lead us to oblivion), suggest a complex and possibly toxic relationship where one person is willing to sacrifice their own happiness and well-being for the other, even if it means descending into a metaphorical "sweetest hell."

The repeating chorus lines emphasize the mutual willingness to endure hardships and suffering for the sake of preserving their love. It portrays a deep devotion and a willingness to embrace a bittersweet reality together.
