Crimson Star

Közi's 'Crimson Star' is a vibrant and enigmatic song that invites listeners into a whimsical and surreal world. The lyrics are a blend of playful and mysterious elements, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The repeated phrases 'Feel free sweet fool trick star' and 'Feel free bitter fool shooting star' suggest a duality in the experience of life, where sweetness and bitterness coexist, and where one can be both a trickster and a star. This duality is further emphasized by the playful 'Boom boon bopeep peek-a-boo' refrain, which adds a childlike sense of wonder and unpredictability to the song.

The verses delve deeper into this surreal landscape, with references to twilight ('yami ni tasogareteta koro ni') and dreams ('kimi no yume no seijaru e go'). The imagery of burning red ('maka ni moete') and lightning speed ('denkō sekka') evokes a sense of urgency and passion. The song's protagonist seems to be caught in a whirlwind of emotions and experiences, navigating through a night filled with 'crazy night flights' and 'avant-garde' adventures. The mention of 'telepathy' and 'dramatic ad-libs' adds to the sense of a fantastical journey where reality and imagination blur.

Közi, known for his work in the visual kei band Malice Mizer, brings his signature avant-garde style to 'Crimson Star'. The song's eclectic mix of sounds and its theatrical lyrics reflect Közi's artistic vision, which often explores themes of duality, transformation, and the surreal. The repeated invitation to 'feel free' and the question 'do you like emotion?' suggest a celebration of freedom and emotional expression, encouraging listeners to embrace the full spectrum of their feelings and experiences.

'Crimson Star' is a captivating exploration of the interplay between light and dark, reality and fantasy, and the sweet and bitter moments that make up the human experience. It invites listeners to dance with the stars, to embrace their inner trickster, and to revel in the magic of the night.
