Seventh Heaven

Buck-Tick's song 'Seventh Heaven' is a poetic exploration of love, dreams, and the delicate balance between reality and fantasy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers navigating a surreal, almost ethereal world. The imagery of the 'midday moon' and 'cobalt scent' sets a dreamlike atmosphere, suggesting a place where time and reality are fluid. This setting allows the lovers to exist in a space that is both intimate and isolated, represented by the 'silhouette on silhouette' imagery.

The recurring theme of whispers and fleeting kisses underscores the fragility of their connection. The lines 'sukoshi dake whisper to so far away' and 'fui no kiss de subete ga kowareru mae ni' (whisper a little, so far away, before everything breaks with a sudden kiss) highlight the tension between desire and the fear of losing everything. This tension is further emphasized by the dance of melancholy ('yuu’utsu ni odoru ha wo te ni tatete'), suggesting that their love is both beautiful and tinged with sadness.

The chorus, 'Let's meet at seventh heaven,' serves as a hopeful refrain, a promise of a perfect, transcendent place where their love can flourish without the constraints of reality. This idea of 'seventh heaven' symbolizes an ultimate, unattainable bliss, a place where their dreams and love can exist without fear or interruption. Buck-Tick's musical style, known for its blend of gothic rock and new wave, complements the lyrical content, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that enhances the song's themes of love, dreams, and the ephemeral nature of happiness.
