25コ目の染色体 (25kome No Senshokutai) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer is looking back at all the little and big things they have received from the person they love. They count them one by one and feel how each one brings back emotions, making them tear up. Even the smallest memories can touch them deeply, showing how much these gifts mean emotionally, not just physically.

[Pre-Chorus]
They realize they had forgotten how to cry freely, but being in this moment makes them feel like emotions are overflowing. Even with their eyes closed, they can sense the weight and presence of these feelings, almost spilling out of them. It’s a quiet, tender acknowledgment of being deeply moved by love.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses love so strong that no words seem enough. They would give their life for this person and also live fully for them. It’s about complete devotion and showing that this love is all-encompassing, unshakable, and unconditional. They want the other person to know that nothing else matters more than being there for them in every possible way.

[Verse 2]
They imagine being able to protect the person they love completely, even wishing to stop their own life just a day before the other’s passing, so they don’t have to endure the pain of loss. At the same time, they dream of watching over the world from above, curious about how life unfolds and wishing to share in the other’s experiences, even from afar.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer thinks about a special place between the earth and heaven, a spot almost reachable from the moon, where the view of life seems peaceful and clear. Even with closed eyes, they can imagine this place, feeling like it’s a bridge between them and the loved one, a calm and safe space that keeps their emotions close.

[ここ]
This is a place in between reality and the sky, a metaphorical spot where feelings and memories meet, helping them feel close to the person they love, even across distances or different states of being.

[Chorus]
They continue to promise their life and devotion to this person, emphasizing that their love doesn’t need permission or prompting. It’s natural and instinctive, showing that their loyalty and care flow from the heart, independent of what the other person says or asks for.

[Bridge]
They imagine life in a future without reincarnation or repeated struggles, just sharing one life fully together. They picture no arguments, no one dying first, and simple happiness with shared friends, birthdays, and double the laughter. The small, everyday joys become sacred, like having two cakes with no special reason, and every happy moment leaves marks of joy on their faces. They describe this as a heartfelt lifelong promise, emphasizing love, care, and celebration in small and big moments.

[Chorus]
They reaffirm their readiness to live, die, and even cry for this person, showing that love is not just emotional but also an action. Their feelings are shaped by what this person has taught them about love, vulnerability, and devotion.

[Post-Chorus]
The singer imagines a child in the future and hopes that the baby closely resembles the person they love, carrying their traits completely. At the same time, they wish the child doesn’t take after themselves except for their happiness and luck, which they want to pass on deliberately. Each night, they pray quietly for this, knowing that their partner often expresses a wish for the baby to look like them, but they secretly resist, wanting only the best parts of themselves to influence the child. It’s a tender, intimate wish that blends love, humor, and hope for the next generation.
