青い亀裂
GO!GO!7188 Lyrics

The lyrics to GO!GO!7188's song 青い亀裂 (Aoi Kiretsu) delve into the complexities of sadness and grief. The first few lines express the fixation that the singer has on their own sadness, wondering why it continues to captivate them. They then reflect on a once-clean past, where for a moment they were able to see a everlasting light. However, their attention is quickly brought to a stark realization - their sorrow is tearing them apart, as if it were a lightning bolt. This image is conveyed again and again with the repeating line "そこに立ってた　そこに立ってた" (Soko ni tatteta soko ni tatteta) meaning "I stood there, I stood there". The finality of this line makes the devastation of the image all the more powerful.

The song also touches on the idea of finding solace in another person's company. The singer admits to clinging to the back of their chair, only to discover a shadow that they had overlooked before. The two of them then engage in a playful game of shadow-tag, using it as a release for their emotions. Interestingly, the lyrics that describe this scene are separated from the rest of the song, almost as if they are taking place in another realm. This contrast really amplifies the playfulness and detachment of this moment compared to the rest of the song.
