スクランブル
ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

夜に流れるようなおまえの髪に
Mm 誘われる二人のランデヴー
その思わせ振りな冷めた唇に
Mm 迷い込む危険なランデヴー

高鳴る想い誰にも止められない
ああ風は遠く連れ去ってくれるから

全ては maybe baby maybe 星の彼方
言葉は maybe baby maybe いらないから
二人は maybe baby maybe 限りなく
Maybe baby maybe 時を越える

(Sha la la la)

闇を引き裂くように走る隙間で
Mm 絡み合う秘密のランデヴー

乱れる想い誰にも止められない
あぁ風は深く連れ去ってくれるから

全ては maybe baby maybe 星の彼方
言葉は maybe baby maybe いらないから
二人は maybe baby maybe 限りなく
Maybe baby maybe 時を越える

全ては maybe baby maybe 星の彼方
言葉は maybe baby maybe いらないから
二人は maybe baby maybe 繰り返す
Maybe baby maybe baby I love you.

(Scramble scramble...)

I love you...
(Scramble scramble...)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ORIGINAL LOVE's song "スクランブル" speak of a dangerous rendezvous between two individuals, entwined in a secret affair. The first verse describes the allure of the singer's hair, inviting the other person to a rendezvous. Despite the coldness they display, the singer's dangerous seduction is a temptation that the singer cannot resist. The chorus speaks of a deep affection between the two that transcends words and time, with the wind carrying them away to the stars. The second verse describes the secrecy of their meeting place, in a gap that cuts through the darkness of the night, and the unstoppable chaotic feelings they share.

The overall tone of the lyrics is one of passionate and wild love that defies logic or restraint. The use of "maybe" throughout the chorus adds to the uncertainty of the situation, suggesting that the singer is uncertain if their love will succeed or if it's worth the risk. However, despite the danger and uncertainty, it appears that the singer is willing to take the risk and continue this tumultuous love affair.
