恋心
savage genius Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

出逢ったあの夜から　どんどん好きになって　恋に落ちました
ふざけ合ったりじゃれ合えても　あぁ　あたしは映らない

笑顔ともどかしさが一緒にやって来て　初めて知りました
光の様な恋の裏には　影が在る事を

あなたの声が誰かを呼ぶ度
かすめて行くよ　あたしを

…息が出来ない　切な過ぎて

あたしの恋心は見えて居るでしょう？
それでも気付かないフリするのは　もう止めて
優しくするのならば　いっそ抱き締めて
叶わないならば　きつく突き放して

そんな　あなたのずるさに　あたしは振り回されて　壊れそう

気付けばこの夜は　愛しさと切なさに満ちて居ました
もう　これ以上好きにさせないで　そんな風にしないで

望みは果てしなく姿現すけど　口には出せないし
…どうすればいいんだろう　ホントに苦しいよ

あたしの恋心は見えて居るでしょう？
それでも気付かないフリするのは　もう止めて
あなたの思わせぶりな甘い甘い声に
希望の炎も吹き消せずに居るのよ

いつも　諦めようとする度　想いの強さを思い知る

あたしの恋心は見えて居るでしょう？
それでも気付かないフリするのは　もう止めて
優しくするのならば　いっそ抱き締めて
叶わないならば　きつく突き放して

そんな　あなたのずるさに　あたしは振り回されて　壊れそう

あたしの恋心は見えて居るでしょう？
それすら無かった事にするのは　止めて
あたしに触れるその手に　柔らかいその笑顔に
特別な意味が無い事　解ってる

こんな　つらい恋と解っては居ても　もう　あなた以外愛せない

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 恋心 by savage genius narrate the journey of falling in love. The singer begins by reminiscing on the night they met, where they fell in love with the other person everything sort of clicked for them. Thereafter, they indulge in playful tease and laughter, but as they grow more in love, so does the gap between them widen, and the singer finds herself struggling with frustration and longing. Even as their relationship grows, they are constantly reminded that there's always negative sides of love, and it's not just all rosy.

As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the sorrow and torment of unrequited love. They talk about wanting their love interest to fully acknowledge and reciprocate the love they feel, rather than pretending not to notice or care. They are also careful to mention that even though they know their love is not entirely logical, they cannot help but remain devoted to the person they love deeply.
