Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This upbeat youth song expresses a lover's playful tease toward a modern, high-tech girl. Using contemporary 90s pop-culture metaphors such as computer graphics, modern slang, and jeans, the protagonist complains that while scientific technology has rapidly advanced, romantic awareness has declined. He entreats her to learn the essence of love and describes his passionate attraction to her charming presence.
