Ai No Corrida
Q.Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day
Night, the lonely interlude
Just came, then blew away
You know girl
Everything was come what may
Until you fell in my life
This spell I'm under
Has caught me, I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder
Sets my poor heart ablaze
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
The song "Ai No Corrida" by Q.Jones is about the intense emotions that come with being in love. The singer is lost and confused, consumed by their feelings for the person they love. The opening verses highlight the surreal and dreamlike quality of the singer's experience: they feel like they're in a maze and can't find their way, as if they're being served up the object of their affections on a tray. The chorus expresses this intense longing through the repeated refrain "Ai no corrida," which loosely translates to "Love's bullfight." The song ends with the singer acknowledging that everything has changed since they fell in love, with nothing being as it was before.
Interpretation of the song suggests that the "bullfight" element of love is the tension and energy that exists in a relationship. The singer is overwhelmed by their emotions, unable to contain them or control the way they feel. They feel like they're drowning, but they don't want to be saved. The love they feel is consuming them, but they wouldn't have it any other way. The repeated "pinch me, I'm dreaming" line speaks to the surreal quality of this all-consuming love, with the singer not quite believing that this intense emotion is real.
Overall, "Ai No Corrida" is a song about the all-consuming nature of love, and the way that it can completely transform the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
