Misshitsu

Buck-Tick's song 'Misshitsu' delves into the complex and often dark emotions associated with love and possession. The lyrics express a deep, almost obsessive desire to be close to someone, to the point of wanting to possess them entirely. The repeated phrases like '君に触りたい' (I want to touch you) and '君を奪いたい全てを' (I want to take everything from you) highlight a yearning that goes beyond mere affection, hinting at a need for control and exclusivity.

The song's narrative is filled with a sense of desperation and vulnerability. The lines '君の痛み知り僕の喜びは君に' (Knowing your pain, my joy is in you) and '君の傷口に僕の溢れ出す愛を' (My overflowing love for your wounds) suggest a relationship where the protagonist finds joy in the other's pain, a metaphor for the complexities and sometimes unhealthy dynamics in love. This duality of pleasure and pain, love and possession, creates a haunting atmosphere that is both captivating and unsettling.

Culturally, Buck-Tick is known for their gothic and dark aesthetic, often exploring themes of existentialism, love, and despair. 'Misshitsu' fits well within this framework, offering a glimpse into the darker side of human emotions. The song's title, which translates to 'Secret Room,' further emphasizes the idea of hidden desires and the private, often concealed aspects of love. The closing lines, 'ああ、何も、何もない' (Ah, nothing, nothing at all) and 'ああ、何も望まない' (Ah, I desire nothing), leave the listener with a sense of emptiness and longing, encapsulating the song's melancholic essence.
