HEAVEN

Buck-Tick's song 'HEAVEN' is a poetic exploration of beauty, chaos, and love in a world that is both enchanting and decaying. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a surreal landscape where the sky is a 'CRAZY de LOVELY BLUE BLUE SKY,' and the characters are caught in a whirlwind of emotions and experiences. The repeated imagery of dancing and flying ('Kimi wa mau sora wo somete') suggests a sense of freedom and transcendence, as if the characters are trying to rise above the chaos of the world below.

The song juxtaposes the beauty of the world with its inevitable decay. Phrases like 'Kono subarashiki umareyuku sekai de' (In this wonderful world being born) and 'Kono utsukushiki kageriyuku sekai de' (In this beautiful world fading away) highlight this duality. The use of flowers, particularly the red and white carnations, symbolizes both life and death, love and loss. The red carnation blooming in the heart ('Mune ni saita akai kaaneishon') can be seen as a metaphor for passionate love that persists even in a world that is falling apart.

The song also touches on themes of longing and transformation. The lines 'Ame ni nureta kimi matsuge amaku furuwasete chou ni natta yo' (Your wet eyelashes trembled sweetly and turned into a butterfly) suggest a metamorphosis, a change brought about by love and desire. This transformation is both beautiful and painful, reflecting the complex emotions that the characters experience. Buck-Tick's musical style, which often blends rock with gothic and electronic elements, enhances the dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere of the song, making 'HEAVEN' a hauntingly beautiful reflection on the human condition.
