HAKUEI Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ふれあう唇に想いが揺れる夜に
切なく冷たい雨似合いすぎる
部屋で一人ひざを抱えて
テレパシーを送り続ける
偽りの優しさと見せかけの微笑みに
錆びついた現実が崩れ落ちる
美しい少女に見た
ガラスのハート僕を苦しめ

戸惑いの日々天使の誘惑
地上に降りたパンドラの箱
さよなら Crazy Crazy
もう戻れない
恋の媚薬の虜になれ
さよなら Crazy Crazy
もう戻れない
破滅への誘いと知りながら

冷たいまなざしと情熱の熱いキッス
今すぐ忘れたい哀しすぎる
美しい少女に見た潤んだ瞳心奪われ
倒錯の夜ゼウスのたくらみ
あやしく誘うパンドラの箱
さよなら Crazy Crazy
抑えきれない
狂おしいほど胸かきむしれ
さよなら Crazy Crazy
叫んでみても
空しく夜空へ溶けて行く

赤い月夜は悪魔のささやき
解き放たれたパンドラの箱
さよなら Crazy Crazy
もう止まらない
終わりなき恋の罠にはまれ
さよなら Crazy Crazy

明日はいらない
素敵な愛に抱かれ眠りにおちる

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to HAKUEI's song Zeus -album version- describe a tumultuous night where the singer is going through a range of emotions. The night is stormy and cold, and the singer is alone in his room, hugging his knees while he sends telepathic messages. He is realizing that the kindness and smiles he has received were all fake, and he is faced with the harsh reality of it all. The singer narrates how he was in love with a beautiful girl with a glass heart, and she has been his constant source of pain. He reminisces about the confusion he faced while trying to resist the temptation of an angelic figure. There are references to Pandora's Box, indicating that the singer knows he is being coerced down a path of self-destruction.

The song seems to draw parallels between mythology and the singer's situation. The lyrics describe how the singer has fallen prey to the love potion, and he is now a prisoner of this never-ending trap. He yearns for the love that he knows will mend his broken heart, but he is powerless and can only succumb to his dark desires. The night that was once cold and stormy has turned into a temptation-filled night with the singer's mind in turmoil.
