Beautiful Love
Ragdoll Lyrics

光に導かれて
辺りを見渡せば
懐かしい景色には...
(立ちこめる淡い季節が)
縛る過去もいつしか
美しく変化して影を無くし
新しい時を映す
煌く川の流れは

忙しくて心の中かき乱して
マダ答え探し続けている
What's a beautiful love?
in the dark of love
I'll give my heart for you
however...
what's a beautiful life?
What's a beautiful love?
in the dark of love
I'll give my heart for you
however...
what's a beautiful life?

遠くから聴こえてる
狂おしく優しく響く声に誘われ
(引き寄せる深い波音)
闇の中もがいてる
冷たい海を泳いであの島へ...
大切さを比べても
帰れないあの空へは
『失って気付く』だから
正確さなんて
求めてはいない誰にも
What's a beautiful love?
in the dark of love
I'll give my heart for you
however...
what's a beautiful life?
What's a beautiful love?
in the dark of love
I'll give my heart for you
however...
what's a beautiful life?
What's a beautiful love?
in the dark of love
I'll give my heart for you
however...
what's a beautiful life?
What's a beautiful love?
in the dark of love again
I'll give my heart for you

however...
what's a beautiful life?

Overall Meaning

The song Beautiful Love by Ragdoll is a meditation on the ecstasy and challenges of love. The lyrics touch on themes of nostalgia, exploration, and sacrifice, as the singer croons about the beauty of love even in the midst of darkness. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer noting how they are guided by the light towards a landscape filled with memories. The season depicted is one of lightness and airiness, and the singer reflects on how their past burdens have transformed into something more beautiful, disappearing like shadows.

The imagery of water and its flowing current is significant in this song, symbolizing the tumultuous emotions of the singer. The churning of water, especially in the midst of the current, signifies how easily emotions can get muddled and confused. The singer admits to being in a state of constant search, looking for answers to life's mysteries, and ultimately attempting to evade and outwit disappointment.

The chorus provides a reflection of the basic inquiry of the song: what is a beautiful love? The singer razzles whether giving one’s heart to someone is a sacrifice or if the relationship is worth it - this is the primary struggle of love - the risk of loving someone versus the reward of a relationship. This is highlighted in the lyric 'what's a beautiful life? ' At its core, the song is about the human search for meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
