Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
少し触れ合う視線
仄かに香る雨
揺れて漂うだけ
焼きついた君の残像を残して
見透かす様な冷めた眼本当の意味を ねぇ教えて
届きそうで届かない
I'm losing my mind, oh, God
戻れない (ooh ooh)
どこにでも君がいる
Oh, you got me (ooh ooh)
この魔法は解けそうにないや
Now I'm questioning
How do you feel 'bout me?
近づけないあとちょっと
溺れたい (ooh ooh)
僕の方を見て sapphire
攻略方法も how to も無い
僕が僕じゃなくなる eye-to-eye
あと 5秒 いや一瞬でいい
その瞳に映っていたい
言葉も出ない
余裕も持てない
他の奴と違って僕にだけそっけない
らしくないなんて
わかってたって my bad
ねぇどうして? (I wonder why?)
隠せない (ooh ooh)
どうしても君が要る
Oh, you got me (ooh ooh)
その態度に胸が痛いや
Now I'm questioning
How do you feel 'bout me?
近づきたいあとちょっと
やるせない (ooh ooh)
僕の方を見て sapphire
I don't know what to do, don't know how to do it
どんな行動が一体正解?
I'm so into you
これだけは嘘じゃ無いよ baby
汗をかいたグラスに
薄くなったウイスキー
君を見失ったフロア 騒々しさが憎い
時間が止まる (what the hell)
蒼く染まる (goddamn)
振り向いたそこに
綺麗に笑う君が立ってる
(Ooh ooh)
もうどうしようもない
僕を見て
(Ooh ooh)
すぐそこに君がいる
Oh, you got me (ooh ooh)
その魔法に染まっていたいや
Now I'm questioning
How do you feel 'bout me?
眩しさに眩んだって
伝えたい (ooh ooh)
Ha-ah 僕を包んだ sapphire
In "Sapphire," Zo! encapsulates the bittersweet experience of longing and infatuation. The lyrics begin with an atmosphere charged with emotion, painting vivid imagery of connection through fleeting glances and the ethereal scent of rain. The mention of "君の残像" (your lingering image) suggests that the singer is haunted by the memory of a significant other, showcasing the sense of intimacy that remains despite physical distance. This duality is also reflected in the coldness of the "冷めた眼" (cold eyes) from the beloved, provoking feelings of confusion and despair. The singer grapples with the sensation of being close yet unreachable, illustrating the mental turmoil caused by their unreciprocated feelings. This emotional depth sets the stage for the exploration of desire and the questioning of one’s own worth in the emotional landscape of love.
The singer’s introspection continues as they confront the overwhelming grip that this person has on their life, likening their effects to a spell that cannot be broken. The repeated refrain of desperation expresses an undeniable fixation, as evidenced by the line "どこにでも君がいる" (you are everywhere) which conveys how omnipresent this person is in the singer's thoughts. The phrase "この魔法は解けそうにないや" (this magic doesn’t seem to wear off) highlights the intoxicating power of love and longing—their feelings resist resolution and only deepen. This relentless fixation is now interspersed with feelings of uncertainty about the other person's feelings, punctuated by the singer’s yearning to close the emotional gap, drawing a parallel between physical proximity and emotional closeness.
In subsequent verses, the singer reflects on their loss of self amid infatuation, admitting that they “aren't themselves” when they share a moment with this person. The urgency conveyed in "あと 5秒、いや一瞬でいい" (just five seconds, or even a moment) underscores the desperate hope for connection, suggesting that even a fleeting moment of interaction would be enough to solidify the bond in their eyes. There’s a sense of vulnerability as they struggle with self-doubt and the overwhelming weight of their feelings, evidenced by their bewilderment when faced with the indifferent treatment from the other person. This emotional turmoil culminates in a plea for clarity about the beloved's feelings, revealing the singer's longing for validation and understanding, as they seek reassurance in a complex situation fraught with doubt.
As the song progresses, the imagery becomes vivid and kinetic, reflecting a crowded, pulsing atmosphere contrasted against the singer's internal chaos. The mention of the glass sweating and the feeling of losing sight of the beloved adds layers of sensory experience to their emotional turbulence, capturing the essence of bar ambiance underscoring the singer's internal conflict. The climax reveals the striking moment where the beloved appears, smiling cleanly, bringing them both a reconnection and renewed hope despite the chaotic backdrop. The conclusion reflects a paradox of both clarity and confusion; the brightness of the beloved, described with the color "sapphire," symbolizes beauty and allure, encapsulating everything the singer desires, yet it further complicates their longing. The insistence on wanting to be embraced by this "sapphire" hints at the overwhelming intensity of their infatuation, asserting that, despite the complications, they are steadfast in their feelings, culminating in a touching depiction of vulnerability intertwined with the intoxicating allure of love.
