yureru Ü Ü shiruetto Ü Ü derikashii
nusumareta hitomi no oku
kimi wa "nani" o utsusu no?
Until the sighs that carve into skin
Shaking Ü Ü Silhouette Ü Ü Delicacy
"What" is captured inside of
furete Ü Ü mitai no nara
subete Ü Ü ubaisareba ii
'Cause I need to know
Touch Ü Ü if you want to see
It's better Ü Ü if everything's taken from you
'Cause I need to know
furueru karada daite
kodou ga ima Ü Ü kikoeru
mayonaka no taiyou ni nure
boku wa Ü Ü iki o hisometa
Embrace the trembling body
The throbbing is now audible
Drenched in the midnight sun
I lowered my breathing
furete Ü Ü kowareru hodo
ai ga Ü Ü kimi o kaeteyuku
'Cause I need to hold
Touch Ü Ü until it's broken down
Love Ü Ü is changing you
'Cause I need to hold
furete Ü Ü shimaeru nara
subete Ü Ü ushinatte mo ii
Touch Ü Ü if you can finish
It's okay Ü Ü if everything's lost
furete Ü Ü kowareru kara
ai wa Ü Ü boku o kaeteyuku
Touch Ü Ü because it's breaking down
Love Ü Ü it's changing me
subete...
ai ga...
Everything...
Love is...
The written verb utsusu (to reflect) uses the kanji for toru (to take a picture) instead. So in the lyrics, he refers to not just images reflected in your eyes, but to those kind of images that burn into your mind and are remembered.
The song "fragile" by T.M Revolution is a powerful and emotional ballad that explores the conflicting themes of love, desire, and self-discovery. The lyrics are full of impactful imagery that invites interpretation and analysis. The opening lines speak of sighs that carve into skin, suggesting an intimate connection between physical touch and emotional vulnerability. The following line, "Shaking Ü Ü Silhouette Ü Ü Delicacy," emphasizes the delicate and fragile nature of the human form, which can be easily broken by the power of desire.
The next lines ask a question of the listener: "What is captured inside of eyes stolen away from you?" This is a poignant reference to the idea that we can never truly possess another person, and that our desire to do so is often at odds with their own desires and autonomy. The chorus invites the listener to touch, to feel, and to experience love and desire fully, even if it means taking risks and forsaking everything else.
The final lines of the song suggest a transformation occurring within the singer. As they sing "Love Ü Ü it's changing me," it becomes clear that this journey of self-discovery and vulnerability is not just about connecting with others, but also about finding oneself in the process. Overall, "fragile" is a deeply introspective and moving song that speaks to the human experience of longing, desire, and self-exploration.
