Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Scissorhands's song "Mars" express the desire to love someone unconditionally, even if it causes pain. The repeated refrain "aishite" means "love me" in Japanese, and the singer asks to be loved over and over again. The first stanza describes a frozen heart and a snowy landscape that someone has laughed at. This imagery suggests emotional isolation and vulnerability. The singer's hands are also frozen, indicating an inability to touch the one they love. Despite wanting to protect their beloved's smile, the singer laments not knowing how to do so.


The second stanza suggests the singer's violent tendencies towards those who hurt their beloved. The singer acknowledges that they cannot hurt themselves or their loved one, and instead, they want to cut down those who pick on them. The violence is a clear sign of how much the singer cares about their beloved. The following lines hint at the idea that the singer was born to protect their beloved- a possible nod to the idea of soulmates or destiny.


Overall, the song expresses the emotional struggle of loving someone deeply, wanting to protect them, but being unable to do so completely. The song ends on a note of hopefulness- the hope that one day, they will be able to touch and love the one they care about without fear of causing pain.
