熱帯夜/真夏のエクスタシー
RATS & STAR Lyrics

The song "熱帯夜/真夏のエクスタシー" by RATS & STAR captures the essence of steamy summer nights filled with passion and longing. The lyrics depict a story of forbidden love, where the singers are fully aware of the consequences of their actions, yet they can't resist the temptation of being together. The first verse describes the intense feeling of anticipation and sensuality that drips from the sizzling air. It talks about the urge to drink wine during goodbyes, indulging in the passionate kiss of one's lover to feel intoxicated again. The second verse alludes to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, comparing their love to the one shared by the singers. They know that their love is frowned upon and not allowed, yet they cannot help but feel consumed by its heat.

The chorus speaks of the ecstasy of being together, and the tears that come with it, whether they are tears of sadness or joy. The third verse brings in a sense of finality - the night described is the last one they will spend together, and they want to capture the moment in their memories. They look at each other, and the light of the candles blinds them with its brightness. It is a moment of shared sorrow, as they know that they can never be together again. The final verses depict their desire to be together even if it is in a different form - a mermaid and a Pegasus, or two butterflies. The repeated chorus brings back the idea of the joy and the tears that come with being with the one you love, be it in real life or in fantasy.
