back number Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
私の気持ち全部分かっているくせに
都合が良くって
頭の悪い女を演じてあげる
身体重ねる度に想いが募るのは
どうやら私の方だけだね
今はもうあなたが好き
今はもうあなたが好き
少しだけ楽になるかもしれない
取って付けたような台詞で惑わせて
愛して欲しいと叫ぶ事は
いつの間にやら 恥ずかしい事のようで
愛していますと叫ぶ事も
時代遅れみたいだね
開き直れば 私はきっと幸せね
選ばれなくてもここに
いられるのだから
今はもうあなたが好き
それを口に出してしまえばほら
今はもうあなたが好き
少しだけ楽になるかもしれない
取って付けたような台詞で
惑わせて
肌に触れてこんなにも
きっと毒でも塗ってあったのね
あなたの好きにすれば良い
私の望んだものはもう全部
あなたの心以外 今ここにあるから
今はもうあなたが好き
それを口に出してしまえばほら
今はもうあなたが好き
少しだけ楽になるかもしれない
今はもうあなたが好き
探しても無いと分かってるから
今はもうあなたが好き
このまま夜に身をゆだねていよう
取って付けたような台詞で
惑わせて
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The lyrics to back number's song "Jyoen Jyoyuushou" depict a complicated and tumultuous relationship. The singer expresses frustration towards their partner who seems to understand their feelings perfectly but chooses to only act conveniently and play the role of a foolish woman. Despite this, the singer's feelings for the partner grow stronger with every physical encounter. It seems that only the singer is experiencing this intensifying love. They contemplate confessing their love, hoping that it might bring some relief. They admit that it may seem like a fabricated line, but they still use it to deceive and confuse their partner.
The lyrics also touch upon the desire to be loved. The singer finds it embarrassing to shout their need to be loved, as if it were a shameful thing. Even declaring "I love you" feels outdated in this day and age. However, if the singer changes their mindset and accepts the situation as it is, they believe they can find happiness. They can stay in this relationship, even if they are not chosen.
Overall, the lyrics express the singer's conflicting emotions - their deep love for their partner and their frustration at being taken for granted. They struggle with the fear of vulnerability and rejection, all while trying to maintain a facade of indifference.

Let's surrender ourselves to the night like this
