Love Communication

The Yellow Monkey's song 'Love Communication' delves into the complexities of love, desire, and the often painful emotions that accompany them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both intoxicating and fraught with uncertainty. The opening lines, 'Mune wo shimetsukeru... koigokoro no kakera,' suggest a heart gripped by the fragments of love, hinting at a past relationship that still lingers in the memory. The singer is unsure if they will see their lover again, adding a layer of unpredictability and longing to the narrative.

The song employs rich metaphors and imagery, such as 'Tenshi to megami to... akuma no shigusa de,' comparing the lover's actions to those of an angel, goddess, and demon. This juxtaposition highlights the duality of the lover's nature, capable of both divine affection and devilish deceit. The line 'Hontou no koto wa nani hitotsu chou beranai' underscores the confusion and lack of clarity in the relationship, where the truth is elusive and hard to grasp.

As the song progresses, it explores themes of vulnerability and the desire for genuine connection. The chorus, 'Samishii... yoru ni wa... hadaka ni natte,' speaks to the loneliness that drives one to seek intimacy, even if it means exposing oneself completely. The imagery of becoming a 'houseki' (jewel) in the night sky suggests a longing to be cherished and valued, despite the crumbling world around them. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges the lover's 'makkana uso' (red lies) and chooses to laugh in the face of inevitable heartbreak.
