X X X

L'Arc~en~Ciel's song 'X X X' delves into the intoxicating and perilous nature of infatuation. The repeated phrase 'Step into fascination, trap of infatuation, kiss' sets the tone for the song, suggesting a journey into a seductive yet potentially dangerous emotional state. The use of the word 'trap' implies that once you step into this realm, it becomes difficult to escape, highlighting the consuming power of infatuation.

The lyrics also make several references to 'original sin,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the inherent flaws and temptations in human nature. This biblical allusion adds a layer of depth, suggesting that the act of falling into infatuation is almost a predestined, unavoidable part of the human experience. The repeated mention of 'kiss' serves as a symbol of both the allure and the danger, encapsulating the duality of pleasure and peril.

The song's use of Japanese phrases like '甘い addiction' (sweet addiction) and '切ない息を忘れるほど' (to the point of forgetting to breathe) further emphasizes the overwhelming and almost suffocating nature of infatuation. The imagery of being '沈めて my wish' (sinking into my wish) and the dreamlike state where '時間よ止まれ' (time stops) paints a vivid picture of being lost in a fantasy, unable to return to reality. The final lines, 'Darling, 最後のキスなのね' (Darling, this is the last kiss), bring a poignant end to the narrative, suggesting a bittersweet conclusion to this emotional journey.
