Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song reflects on the deceptive nature of desire, attraction, and human existence. It posits that desire is an inherent human trait, making deception and falsehoods inevitable in the pursuit of one's wishes. Life itself is depicted as a grand facade or performance where reality is often treacherous and misleading once deeply contemplated.
