Seppun -Kiss-
ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

長く甘い口づけを交わす
深く果てしなくあなたを知りたい
fall in love 熱く口づけるたびに
やけに色の無い夢を見る
ああどこか物足りない今日は
あなたの濡れた眼差しが嬉しい
何時の間にか枯れ葉色のtwilight
子供のように無邪気に欲しくなる

長く甘い口づけを交わす
深く果てしなくあなたを知りたい
fall in love 熱く口づけるたびに
痩せた色の無い夢を見る

night flight 瞳移ろうように甘く
あなたの素肌冷たすぎて苛立つ
焼けるような戯れの後に
永遠に独りでいることを知る
長く甘い口づけを交わそう
夜がすべて忘れさせる前に
fall in love
きつく抱きしめるたびに
痩せた色の無い夢を見てた
甘い口づけを交わそう
夜がすべて忘れさせる前に
fall in love
きつく抱きしめるたびに
やけに色の無い夢が続く

甘い口づけを交わそう
夜がすべて忘れさせる前に……

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ORIGINAL LOVE's song Seppun -Kiss- describe the intense desire for a deep and meaningful connection with someone through physical intimacy. The singer longs to know their partner on a profound level and each passionate kiss they share brings them closer to that goal. However, despite the intense emotional and physical connection, the singer still feels emptiness and a lack of fulfillment. The twilight colors in the sky and the childish innocence of their desires highlight the fleeting nature of this intense love, and the impossibility of sustaining it indefinitely.

The lyrics also describe the bittersweet realization that this love may not last forever, as the singer contemplates the possibility of being alone for all eternity. The use of the phrase "night flight" suggests the temporary nature of their intense relationship, and how it is destined to eventually fade away. Despite this inevitability, the singer is unable to resist the allure of their partner's touch, and each embrace only serves to intensify the dreamlike quality of their relationship, where reality and fantasy blur together.

Overall, the lyrics paint a complex and nuanced picture of a relationship that is both thrilling and fleeting, with the potential for both intense connection and profound loneliness.
