Saigo No Kiss Wa Koori No You Ni Tsumetakatta

U-ka Saegusa In Db's song "Saigo No Kiss Wa Koori No You Ni Tsumetakatta" ("The Last Kiss Was as Cold as Ice") is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that once brought warmth and happiness, symbolized by the nostalgic memories of a summer vacation. However, this warmth is contrasted sharply with the coldness of the final kiss, a metaphor for the end of the relationship and the emotional distance that has grown between the two lovers.

The song's narrative unfolds through a series of evocative scenes, such as the protagonist wandering alone in an amusement park at dusk, reminiscing about happier times. The imagery of a rusted Ferris wheel swaying in the wind underscores the theme of decay and the passage of time. The protagonist's longing to see their lover's smile again and the hope of reuniting 'tomorrow' reflects a deep sense of denial and the difficulty of accepting the finality of their separation.

As the seasons change, the protagonist reflects on a Christmas argument that led to their breakup, a moment that remains unresolved with an unspoken apology. The fleeting nature of life is highlighted by the comparison of their lover's life to melting snowflakes, emphasizing the fragility and impermanence of existence. The song reaches its emotional peak with the realization that the protagonist can no longer remember their lover's voice, a heartbreaking acknowledgment of the passage of time and the fading of memories. The final kiss, described as cold as ice, encapsulates the sorrow and finality of their parting, leaving the protagonist with a profound sense of loss and longing.
