Love me

Buck-Tick's song 'Love me' is a haunting and evocative exploration of love, loneliness, and the ephemeral nature of dreams. The lyrics, delivered in a mix of Japanese and English, create a surreal and almost otherworldly atmosphere. The opening lines, 'Hosoi tekubi wo kamikiru biyaku ga kizu ni shibireru / Love me namida mo crying chi no iro,' suggest a visceral and intense experience of love, where even the act of biting a slender wrist becomes a potent aphrodisiac, causing a tingling sensation in the wound. This imagery sets the tone for a song that delves deep into the physical and emotional extremes of love.

The recurring theme of dreams and solitude is evident in lines like 'Donna ni yume wo mitemo kizukeba itsumo hitori sa / Love me yume mite dreaming nemurou.' No matter how many dreams one has, the realization of being alone is inescapable. This juxtaposition of dreaming and waking loneliness underscores a sense of yearning and unfulfilled desire. The plea to 'Love me' amidst this solitude is both a cry for connection and a recognition of its fleeting nature.

The chorus, with its repeated 'La la la,' adds a melancholic yet almost resigned tone to the song. The lines 'My darling tsukiyo ni hane wo hirogete / Kieru made love me' and 'My darling chigireta yume ni sayonara / Sasayaite love me' speak to the transient nature of love and dreams. The imagery of spreading wings under the moonlight and saying goodbye to shattered dreams evokes a sense of impermanence and the bittersweet beauty of fleeting moments. Buck-Tick's 'Love me' is a poignant reflection on the intensity of love, the pain of loneliness, and the ephemeral nature of our deepest desires.
