Kuchizuke

Buck-Tick's song 'Kuchizuke' delves into the intense and often dark nature of love and desire. The lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a love that is both passionate and consuming. The repeated references to '罪深き口づけ' (sinful kiss) suggest a love that is forbidden or carries a heavy burden of guilt. This kiss is not just a simple act of affection but a profound and almost sacrilegious act that binds the lovers in an eternal embrace.

The song's narrative is filled with a sense of inevitability and surrender. Lines like '二度と戻れない それでいい' (We can never go back, and that's fine) and 'これで永遠になる' (This will make us eternal) indicate a willingness to accept the consequences of their love, no matter how dark or irreversible. The imagery of drinking wine and the references to midnight add to the song's gothic and almost vampiric atmosphere, suggesting a love that thrives in the shadows and is sustained by a kind of mutual madness.

Buck-Tick, known for their unique blend of rock and gothic elements, uses 'Kuchizuke' to explore themes of love, desire, and the fine line between pleasure and pain. The song's haunting melody and evocative lyrics create a sense of longing and desperation, making it a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human emotion. The contrast between the 'bitter darkness' and the 'sweet darkness' further emphasizes the duality of their love, where pain and pleasure are inextricably linked, and the ultimate act of love is both a blessing and a curse.
