密室 (misshitsu) – sealed room

original song by BUCK-TICK
lyrics / Atsushi Sakurai
music / Hidehiko Hoshino

i want to touch you, here there is nothing for me to want, ah, nothing at all
i want to steal all of you away, i won’t let anyone get in my way, ah, no one at all
ah, even if you hate me and i cannot speak to you, ah, if you need it

i’ll know your pain and give you my happiness, so stay by my side and smile
my overflowing love will spill into your wounds, so stay here and don’t cry

be mine and mine alone

i want to lock you away forever in my heart, ah, my dear
one day you’ll understand my feelings, ah, just how much i love you

i’ll know your pain and give you my happiness, so stay by my side and smile
my overflowing love will spill into your wounds, so stay here and don’t cry

be mine and mine alone

i always sing songs of pity for my ugliness, so stay by my side and smile
overflowing love always comes from my ugliness, so stay here and don’t cry

be mine and mine alone

ah, nothing, nothing at all

ah, there is nothing for me to want


One of the cover songs for Hazuki’s solo album is this well-known BUCK-TICK song. While researching this song, I found that there are two dominant interpretations: the singer is talking about metaphorically trapping the object of his love (the sealed room being his heart and emotions) and feels ugly and pathetic for being unable to actually be with her, or he’s literally traps her against her will in a sealed room and his ugliness refers to the possessiveness that drove him to do it.
