Cool Down
Mariya Takeuchi Lyrics

"COOL DOWN" by Mariya Takeuchi is a heartwarming love song about a woman who has been waiting for the moment to confess her love to the person she has been secretly in love with. The first verse of the song talks about how she knew she was going to fall in love with him even before they met. She has been dreaming about him every night, but every time she tries to sleep, thinking about him, she ends up getting her peaceful sleep torn apart by her inner turmoil. She hears his voice in her head repeating "I love you" which shows the depth of her feelings.

The second verse is about her shyness and how she wants to stay calm and composed until she can confess her love to him. She is afraid of being hurt and is worried about the possibility of ending up with more heartbreak. She is struggling with her emotions and the complicated nature of love. She also talks about how the time between the moment she realizes she loves him and confesses to him is painful and full of anticipation, which makes her feel vulnerable. She wants to pretend like nothing is happening for now and wait until the right moment to confess her love.

The chorus of the song is the most memorable and catchy part, where she tells herself to "Cool down" multiple times so that she can avoid any hurtful situations. She acknowledges that she has lied a little bit, telling the person she loves that she doesn't love him yet, but she asks him to forgive her for that small lie. The last verse talks about her desire for him to confess first and her impatience to find out his true feelings for her. She asks him to come closer to her so they can kiss and start a new chapter.
