Shisen
Ryokuoushoku Shakai Lyrics

The lyrics to Ryokuoushoku Shakai's song "Shisen" depict a person who is infatuated with someone and cannot help but constantly gaze at them. The singer admits that they don't know how far this infatuation will go, but they are drawn to the idea of testing the limits of their feelings. They find the person they are infatuated with incredibly beautiful yet fragile, which makes them simultaneously fearful and willing to break things off if they were to get involved. However, despite their reservations, they express a strong desire to touch this person, even if just for a little bit. They are willing to take the risk, even if it means their heart might end up broken in the end.

The song also explores the theme of coincidence and how it can shape our lives. The singer mentions how an accidental encounter or exchange of glances can become the catalyst for all beginnings, highlighting the power of chance in our lives. They also express a sense of longing and greed that grows stronger every day, but they hope that the person they are infatuated with does not notice it. Despite this, they don't mind if their feelings don't reach the person physically; all they want is to confess their feelings, even if it's just a little bit. The lyrics convey a sense of uncertainty about the depth of their feelings and a hesitation to define it as love too early.
