Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
Ippu-Do Lyrics

The lyrics of Ippu-Do's song "Do You Know?" express the internal conflict and pain that comes with being in a toxic relationship. The opening line, "Like a scar that remains even when erased, the scars on my heart will remain," suggests that the emotional damage inflicted in the relationship will linger, even if attempts are made to forget or move on. Throughout the song, there is a sense of resignation and confusion about why love persists despite the constant hurt caused by the other person.

The chorus repeats the question, "Do you know? Do you know?" as if seeking validation or understanding from the person they love. There is a realization that although it is known that the relationship is painful and only causes wounds, there is still a desire to hold on to it. The line, "Our relationship that we've been putting off little by little is drifting apart, it hurts," further emphasizes the growing distance and sorrow in the relationship.

The lyrics also touch on the fear of losing the person they have been holding onto, even if the relationship is detrimental. The line, "I'm afraid of losing you, the one I've kept in the harsh words and bitter memories," portrays the dilemma faced when trying to let go of someone who has become an integral part of one's life. Despite the awareness of an inevitable and predictable ending, there is still a lingering hope for a different outcome, as expressed in the line, "Although it will lead to a predictable ending, I was expecting a little, hoping that I was wrong."
