The lyrics of 茜色が燃えるとき by SCOOBIE DO's speak about the beginning of a new journey, full of pain and tears. The heartbeats are pushing the singer towards the infinite distance of the world's ruthlessness, overcoming the loneliness and despair that are spread along the way. As they enter the "GEEMU", they realize that this place only wants to rub them out, play with them until the end. However, the singer decides to laugh instead of giving up and ultimately wins. They will overcome the night and make their way through the path of love and adversity.
The song is an anthem of hope and determination to make the best of one's life despite its difficulties. It speaks about fighting against the fear of the unknown and pursuing one's dreams despite the cost. The singer's journey represents a metaphorical voyage to find one's true self and express themselves through music.
