Overall Meaning

The lyrics to sukekiyo's song "nine melted fiction" are a reflection on the singer's viewpoint of a person they are envious of, and the darkness that this envy brings to their life. The opening lines describe the person as "gorgeous" and the singer as envious, wanting to observe them in order to feel some sense of satisfaction. The title "nine melted fiction" perhaps hints at the idea that this extravagant admiration is not reality, and is in fact a distorted, fictional version of love.

The lyrics also contain references to the power dynamic between the two people, with the admired person described as having control over the singer, who is portrayed as their "slave". The use of the word "konton" which means chaos, and the mention of a "late show" in a dream also adds to the idea of a surreal, confusing situation.

The chorus hints at a sense of danger, with the line "yu wa ne" translating to "not good" or "dangerous". The following lines describe a situation where everyone is competing for the admiration of the person the singer is envious of, and the darkness that this brings to the situation. The repetition of "kyougaru anata ga ka ai" adds to the sense of obsession and unhealthy admiration, which is again highlighted by the final "Vincent" which is perhaps a reference to the troubled artist Vincent van Gogh.
