そっけない (Sokkenai) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
He feels like he’s almost reaching her, but she’s just out of reach. Every little thing she does catches his attention, and he’s trying to figure out her actions in his mind at full speed, analyzing every gesture and reaction like a puzzle he wants to solve.

[Verse 2]
He wonders if she’s testing him or playing some sort of game. If it’s a challenge, he’s ready to face it, but if she’s just looking for someone to pass the time with, he doesn’t want to be that person and would rather she find someone else.

[Pre-Chorus]
He doesn’t care about the people she may have loved before; he only wants to matter to her. The only thing he wants is to be her one and only, and nothing else matters to him.

[Chorus]
He’s frustrated because she’s acting cold and distant, even though she was the one who reached out first. If she’s not interested in him, he wants her to say it quickly, because he doesn’t have endless time to wait around.

[Post-Chorus]
He feels it’s a little unfair and confusing; love itself feels complicated and hard to understand. He hopes she can guide him, like a textbook explaining love. If she says yes, he’s ready to spend all the time in the world with her.

[Verse 3]
He acknowledges that there’s a lot in life he can’t understand, and even more that he doesn’t want to understand. Life is complicated and tangled, but there are still some things he can confidently express or stand by, even in the middle of all this confusion.

[Verse 4]
He compares her to magic, someone who can untangle complicated situations instantly, like unraveling tangled earphones in a second. But he’s worried that if he says that to her, she might laugh at him, showing her playful or teasing side.

[Pre-Chorus]
The closer he gets to understanding the core of her emotions, the more afraid he feels. He’s never experienced this kind of fear before, but despite that, she continues to remain herself, distant yet captivating.

[Chorus]
He’s frustrated again by her cold attitude. Even though she initiated contact, she acts indifferent. He just wants her to be honest about her feelings because he doesn’t have time to waste on uncertainty.

[Post-Chorus]
He’s still confused about love but willing to dedicate as much time as needed if she’s willing to guide him. Her consent or agreement is all that matters; if she says yes, he’s ready to give his time fully to her.

[Bridge]
He wonders if he can only express his feelings when drunk, questioning if that’s enough. He’s uncertain whether he still has the courage to express himself fully when sober, and he worries that he might not be able to summon it.

[Chorus]
He urges her to turn to him immediately and come closer. He wants her to stop avoiding him and stop wasting time, because every second matters and their time together is limited. He’s trying to seize the moment before it’s gone.

[Post-Chorus]
He wants to be as close as possible, to be fully with her, overflowing from her presence. He’s determined to stay until she says yes, and he won’t leave until he shares a kiss with her. He’s completely committed to the moment and to her.
