椎名林檎 (Sheena Ringo) - 2〇45

가사는 과거의 사랑의 형태와 현대의 감정 간극을 조명하며, 조상들의 irrational한 사랑을 떠올린다
주인공은 사랑에 대한 갈망이 있지만, 현재의 사회에서 그것이 어떻게 받아들여질지에 대한 고민으로 갈등한다
또한, 본능적인 욕망과 우리의 진화에 대한 의문을 던지며 고찰하는 모습을 보여준다

Like you I'm often amused the times I think back on the past
Right here our ancestors used to love irrational acts
One glance, one look was all it took
To signal a touch of fingers locking fingers
Then the skin would entreat the skin, nothing said
I've heard it told that all they did was loosen control
As lips would come to lips and thighs to wrists
And through give and take take and give
I can't imagine It now, seems rather pointless anyhow
Plus if you tried it for kicks, you'd get righteously denounced
Somewhere inside of me
I want to feel and touch and
One night I had a dream
Flowers falling
It seems something has gone away
I want to lead it back and
Sometimes I hear a voice
Calling, calling me
But don't take me literally
Don't take this seriously
No, I don't suffer from
Superstition
And yet sometimes I have to think
About this ancient instinct
Sometimes I wonder if
We've evolved at all
