AMERIKAN KOMIKKU kara nukedashite kita you na
RIARU janai sono kuchibiru ga me ni ukabu
KARAFURU na SHATSU kite furimuku sugata naughty angel fish
FEIKU janai shiroi hada ni furetemitai no sa

Amai kami no kaori mune ni shimikomu yo

Anata ni koi wo shite nando mo nando mo
Akirameyou to shiteta kedo

RIARU janai sono kuchibiru ga azayaka ni hohoemu yo
Boku dake no tame ni

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Pillows' song "Angel Fish" depict a surreal and dreamlike encounter with a woman who is compared to a mischievous and colorful angel fish. The opening lines suggest that the woman's lips are so captivating that they seem to have come straight out of an American comic book. The singer is drawn to her playful and vibrant nature, as symbolized by the colorful shirt she wears and the way she turns around to show off her naughty side. He longs to touch her white skin and bask in the scent of her sweet hair, and feels that he is the only one who can truly reflect her beauty back to her.


The second verse reveals that the singer has fallen in love with this woman after trying to give up on it multiple times. He can't stop feeling the intense emotions that she has awoken in him and is willing to embrace them fully. The chorus reinforces this idea, stating that he will never let go of her, even if it means living in a never-ending dream. The bridge highlights the surreal and cinematic aspect of the encounter, suggesting that the scenario is like a movie with a script that unfolds in a deliberate and meaningful way. The song ends on a hopeful note, implying that the singer's feelings have a chance to be realized and that he has a premonition of their future together.


Overall, "Angel Fish" is a poetic and romantic exploration of desire and connection, using vivid imagery and surrealistic twists to convey the intensity of the singer's emotions.

アメリカンコミックから抜け出して来たような
リアルじゃない その唇が目に浮かぶ
カラフルなシャツ着て ふり向く姿
naughty angel fish
フェイクじゃない白い肌に触れてみたいのさ
甘い髪の香り 胸にしみ込むよ
揺れる瞳の中 僕だけを映しておくれ
あなたに恋をして 何度も 何度も 何度もあきらめようとしてたけど
止まらない気持ちはもう僕のモノさ 離さない
ドキドキしながらもエンディングを見破れるような シネマじゃないシナリオは今 静かに動いているのさ
セリフひとつひとつごまかしたくないから
次のページはまだめくらずに待っているよ
あなたを抱きしめて
そのまま覚めない夢を見ててもかまわないなら
嘘じゃない何もかもが叶うはずさ予感がしてる
あなたに恋をして 何度も 何度も 何度もあきらめようとしてたけど
止まらない気持ちはもう僕のモノさ
あなたを抱きしめて そのまま覚めない夢を見ててもかまわないなら
嘘じゃない 何もかもが叶うはずさ
アメリカンコミックから抜け出して来たような
リアルじゃないその唇が鮮やかに微笑むよ
僕だけのために
