Charm
Moe Shop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

遠ざかるサイレンを見送って
眼差しが反射する点滅を
身体中浴びながら
二人してパフュームとジュエリーで隠してる

駆け引きの途中
大人の階段を登ったつもりで 迷い込んだ迷路
カウントダウンが始まって
浮ついた夜の街で
スクリーンの中のあの子は
『どうでもいいの』呟いた
こびりついて離れない
記憶の中のその声は
無理な背伸びをするたびに
歪になっていくみたい

意味すらないのに追いかけて
届かないって知ってても
欲しくなるものってあるでしょ?
きっとこれがそうだとおもう
ほんとの味を知りたくて
ほんとの感触を知りたくて
(六 五 四)
ちょっとだけ舐めた

出口が見えない

外苑東通りから
イルミネーションが覗いてる
憎らしいほど饒舌に
誰かのことを咎めるように
連れていくなら遠くまで
帰れなくてもいいから
(三 二 一)
これで終わりでも

燃えている星屑に
二人で魔法をかけ
カクテルで酔いたいの
このままじゃ
(Can't stop, fall in love)

触れている指先に
電流が奔ったら
キスで閉じ込めた




消えそうで...
(Can't stop, fall in love...)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moe Shop's song Charm paint a vivid picture of a night spent in the city, full of youthful energy, ambiguity, and emotions. The song starts with a scene of two people leaving behind the distant siren and walking down a neon-lit street. As they walk, they are enveloped in the reflections and flashing lights, hiding behind their perfume and jewelry. The lyrics suggest that the two are playing games with each other, as they climb the stairs of adulthood but end up lost in a maze.


The lyrics of the refrain capture the essence of the song's theme, which centers around unrequited love and desire: "Even though I know I can't have it, there's something I want anyway. I just want to taste the real thing, to feel it for real." The song's protagonist is trying to chase after something, an elusive feeling that always seems to slip away. Yet, despite knowing that it's out of reach, they can't help but desire it. The song ends with a sense of confusion and uncertainty, as the two characters find themselves led astray by the dazzling lights of the city.


Overall, Moe Shop's Charm is a thoughtful portrayal of young love, lust, and desire, told through a backdrop of vibrant cityscapes and neon lights.


Line by Line Meaning

遠ざかるサイレンを見送って
As we bid farewell to the fading siren sound,


眼差しが反射する点滅を
While our eyes reflect the flickering lights all around us,


身体中浴びながら
We bathe in the glow of those lights,


二人してパフュームとジュエリーで隠してる
And conceal ourselves with perfume and jewelry.


駆け引きの途中
Amidst this game of strategy,


大人の階段を登ったつもりで 迷い込んだ迷路
We find ourselves in a maze, mistakenly thinking we've climbed the ladder of adulthood.


カウントダウンが始まって
As the countdown begins,


浮ついた夜の街で
In this fleeting city of night,


スクリーンの中のあの子は
That girl on the screen,


『どうでもいいの』呟いた
Murmurs, 'It doesn't matter.'


こびりついて離れない
But her voice remains stuck in our heads,


記憶の中のその声は
And every time we strain ourselves,


無理な背伸びをするたびに
That voice becomes distorted,


歪になっていくみたい
Like an image in a funhouse mirror.


意味すらないのに追いかけて
Even though it's pointless, we chase it,


届かないって知ってても
Knowing full well we can never reach it,


欲しくなるものってあるでしょ?
There are some things we still want, aren't there?


きっとこれがそうだとおもう
I think this is probably one of them.


ほんとの味を知りたくて
We want to know what it really tastes like,


ほんとの感触を知りたくて
And what it really feels like,


(六 五 四)
(6, 5, 4)


ちょっとだけ舐めた
So we take just a little taste.


出口が見えない
But we can't see the way out,


外苑東通りから
On the street corner of Gaien-Higashi-Dori,


イルミネーションが覗いてる
Illuminations peep out,


憎らしいほど饒舌に
Annoyingly loquacious,


誰かのことを咎めるように
As if passing judgment on someone.


連れていくなら遠くまで
So take me far away,


帰れなくてもいいから
And even if I can't come back,


(三 二 一)
(3, 2, 1)


これで終わりでも
It'll be fine, even if it ends here.


燃えている星屑に
We cast magic upon the burning stardust,


二人で魔法をかけ
The two of us,


カクテルで酔いたいの
We want to get drunk on cocktails,


このままじゃ
Because if we stay like this,


(Can't stop, fall in love)
(Can't stop, fall in love)


触れている指先に
As we touch fingers,


電流が奔ったら
Electricity rushes through us,


キスで閉じ込めた
And we capture it with a kiss,


消えそうで...
But it feels like it's about to vanish...


(Can't stop, fall in love...)
(Can't stop, fall in love...)

Lyrics :
00:15
Saying goodbye to the siren in the distance
00:23
My reflection flickering the longer I look
00:30
All eyes on me as I cleanse
00:38
The two of us concealing ourselves in perfume and jewelry
00:45
Bartering it all along the way
00:52
Getting lost while climbing into the maze of adulthood
01:00
The countdown is beginning
01:02
In the district of a restless night
01:04
All the girls in the movies murmuring “I couldn’t care,”
01:08
While clinging on and not letting go
01:09
The voice lost in a distant memory
01:11
I’d reach out and forcibly push
01:13
Appearing as distorted as ever
01:15
Chasing after that which makes no sense
01:17
Even if I know that’ll never change
01:18
Do you already have that which you desire?
01:21
I’m sure, that has to be it
01:23
I want to know how it really tastes
01:24
I want to know how it really feels
01:26
(6… 5… 4… )
01:27
I want to taste, just a little
01:31
I can’t see the exit
01:45
From Gaien Higashi Dori
01:47
Peeking through to the illumination
01:49
The disdain of its honesty
01:50
Hoping to find someone to blame
01:52
Take me far away, where I can’t return
01:56
(3… 2… 1…)
01:57
Even if this is the end...
02:00
In the burning stardust
02:04
Let’s get lost in the magic
02:07
Shall we get drunk off a cocktail?
02:12
Probably...
02:13
(Can’t stop fall in love…) It’s when our fingertips touch
02:19
That sparks begin to fly
02:23
A kiss to seal the deal
02:28
Almost as if it vanished…
02:43
(Can’t stop fall in love…)

Very sad that the artist for the artwork has passed away, Kogecha had such an amazing and unique style. If you're into kawaiicore, similar j-pop music or Osu, you've probably seen some of their other work. Please check them out.

@CereDulce37
