Rosa
Nakano Aiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
試すような瞳は目覚めを待ってる
いっそ二人ここで ぬくもり分けて
花開く時まで眠りについて
脳裏に焼きつく素顔のきみに
会いたくて鍵を探して
手応えのないまま つぼみを愛でて
甘い刺に溺れる
造られた世界じゃきみは咲けない
諭すように唱って変化を待ってる
幾重にも連ねた秘密をあばき
咲かせてみせるから 心を解いて
鼓膜を揺さぶる罪深い声
聞きたくて鍵を探して
満たされないまま つぼみを撫でて
華奢な蔦に巻かれる
記憶を塗りかえ心を奪う
きみだからまた会いたくて
報われないまま くちづけをして
いばらの道さまよう
その香りで誘って惑わすきみに
会いたくて ねぇ 会いたいよ
強く抱いた 罪なほど赤い花

The lyrics explore themes of hidden emotions, the desire to know someone on a deeper level, and the pains of unrequited love. The song begins with the realization that superficial words and actions are not sufficient to truly understand another person. The singer wants to delve deeper into the person's being to know their true nature. The lines "飾られた言葉じゃきみは笑わない 試すような瞳は目覚めを待ってる" ("You don't smile at pretty words, Your eyes are waiting for a challenge") demonstrate the singer's understanding that surface-level connections are not enough. The use of flowers and the image of the bud waiting to bloom emphasize the growth and development that occurs within a relationship.
The latter half of the song shifts to the singer's internal struggles. They ask the person to open up their heart and let go of any internal reservations they may have. Lines such as "幾重にも連ねた秘密をあばき, 咲かせてみせるから 心を解いて" (" I will unbutton the layers of secrets covering you up and, make you bloom") emphasize the singer's desire to break down walls and develop a deeper connection with the person they love. The use of an "unforgettable sin-soaked voice" expresses the dangerous allure of their love, uncontrollable like the vines that wrap around a fragile branch. The singer is consumed by their love and is willing to face the dangers that come with it.
