Love of Mine
Double
Eternal Love in the Flicker of Candlelight
Double's song "Love of Mine" is a tender and evocative exploration of a deep, enduring love that transcends time and space. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both fragile and powerful, symbolized by the flickering candlelight. The repeated lines, "Love of mine (yureru hi KYANDORU RAITO)" and "No need to hide (negau that you are mine)," suggest a love that is openly cherished and deeply desired. The candlelight metaphor evokes a sense of warmth and intimacy, highlighting the delicate yet persistent nature of the emotions involved.
The song's narrative unfolds with a sense of longing and passion, beginning with a love that started on an April night. The lines "Shigatsu no yoru hajimatta koi / Kuruoshiku You held me tight" convey the intensity and fervor of the initial connection. The imagery of intertwined nights and the desire to be swept away by this love further emphasize the depth of the emotional bond. The recurring theme of dreams, as seen in "Nagareru subete wa Dream of mine / Yume de au dake Through the night," underscores the idea that this love transcends reality, existing in a realm of dreams and desires.
The song also touches on the ephemeral nature of time and the fleeting moments of intimacy. The lines "Shiroi tsuki ga terashita yubisaki / Zutto nobite Touched my face / Fureta shizuku" capture a moment of tender connection under the moonlight, while the acknowledgment that "Demo toki wa hitoshiku sotto sugiyuku no" reflects the inevitable passage of time. Despite this, the love remains a constant, burning quietly and persistently, as expressed in "Hisoka ni kusuburitsuzuku kono mi kogasu hodo." The song concludes with a sense of bittersweet longing, as the morning light awakens the singer from their dream, yet the love remains deeply embedded within their heart.
