In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I have fun listening to your lies
I shout out, joy and you shout for help
Fuck! I hate you!
Dear God, you're a motherfucker
Death for all, death for all
I'm your worst nightmare
Fuck off! I wanna die!
I don't even think of you as my friend
I don't even think of you as my friend
You deceived me and sold me out
Take off that mask of rectitude!
Pretender that hurts one's eyes, voice that jars on one's ear
Fuck 'em all without a care
Fake rock wannabes just die
I don't even think of you as my friend
I don't even think of you as my friend
The maze, it's so cold
I'll die in a world of lies and deceits
By tomorrow I'll be in despair
It was destined
I have fun listening to your lies
I shout out, joy and you shout for help
Fuck! I hate you!
Dear God, you're a motherfucker
Death for all, death for all
I'm your worst nightmare
Fuck off! I wanna die!
I don't even think of you as my friend
I don't even think of you as my friend
The maze, it's so cold
I'll die in a world of lies and deceits
I'll die in a world of lies and deceits
I shout out, joy and you shout for help
Fuck! I hate you!
Dear God, you're a motherfucker
Death for all, death for all
I'm your worst nightmare
Fuck off! I wanna die!
I don't even think of you as my friend
I don't even think of you as my friend
You deceived me and sold me out
Take off that mask of rectitude!
Pretender that hurts one's eyes, voice that jars on one's ear
Fuck 'em all without a care
Fake rock wannabes just die
I don't even think of you as my friend
I don't even think of you as my friend
The maze, it's so cold
I'll die in a world of lies and deceits
By tomorrow I'll be in despair
It was destined
I have fun listening to your lies
I shout out, joy and you shout for help
Fuck! I hate you!
Dear God, you're a motherfucker
Death for all, death for all
I'm your worst nightmare
Fuck off! I wanna die!
I don't even think of you as my friend
I don't even think of you as my friend
The maze, it's so cold
I'll die in a world of lies and deceits
I'll die in a world of lies and deceits

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Awesome song!!! sounds like kyo keeps being betrayed by people he thinks are friends and now won't trust anyone.
Holy shit. I must say, this is the first time of my seeing the lyrics for this song. It's so full of hate and anger. I can't imagine where this came from, but I love it.
Damn, DAMN good song. The Marrow of a Bone is a good album in general.
Yes, kyo! Fuck off Kiseki! THAT FAKE ROCK WANNABE!
Really I can't say I'm all too fond of Diru's more "screamo" music. I find it head-pounding and irritating. Their acoustic songs that actually have a melody are much better. :3
I'm actually having a really hard time hearing these words while reading along with the song after watching this:
youtube.com/watch
Yeah... I have to admit, the parody subtitles are actually easier to hear in this song than the actual thing. Kyo needs to practice his English pronunciations. XD
Nothing personal but i just want to say something. The Dir en Grey songs you call "screamo" music really isn't a accurate description. Those songs are more metal that screamo so i don't know why you can't tell the different between the two.<br /> <br /> Also those songs are SUPPOSED to be head-pounding, no wait let me rephrase that. They are song that you bang your head to and let you aggression out to (in a non-violent way of course).<br /> <br /> Also i dislike the fact that your basically suggesting that Dir en Grey songs "that actually have a melody" are better that any of the other material that the band have made (don't get me wrong, i like the same songs that you like as well). Dir en Grey are a great band that pride themselves on create original and innovative music whether it would be metal, punk, progressive rock, alternative rock or even ballads.<br /> <br /> Also you are NOT a real fan of Dir en Grey. Dir en Grey actually like to make music and play live for there fans who actually like a bit of variety in their music and care about the music itself. Not like all those other "J-Rock fans" who only care about the fact that their favorite bands comes from japan and about the fact that their favorite songs just happen to be featured in the latest anime series. <br /> <br /> Dir en Grey are one of the best bands to come out of japan and they simply don't cater to your personal taste at all.
Is it not allowed to not like -all- of a band's songs and still call yourself a fan? Don't get me wrong. This song is awesome if I'm in the right mood (as in I-want-to-pound-someone's-head-into-the-ground angry) but a lot of the time, it just gives me a headache (sensitive ears + metal = migraine). I love Diru as a whole, but some songs I have to be in the mood for. Would I really be less of a fan for that?
I can understand him easily enough but I admit I catch myself singing the parody version absent-mindedly and like my friend will walk up and be like "wtf?"
Actually no. This song was mad out to all the fans that turned their backs on them. Like that one song with the lyric "You make fun of me like you do my dead left ear".
When they lost the majority of their fan base in Japan... this is sorta out to them and many others.
"I dont think of you as my friend"
You can see what he means.
i understand diz hole song but whatz kyo talkin bout when he sayz
""Dear God. You're a MOTHERFUCKER""
iz he athiest or somethinnnn?
Not only is this song a song against his old fans that turned their backs on diru as their music started changing (with every cd), but it's also insulting other musicians in my opinion, musicians who sell out to do whatever they need to do to be popular - kinda like what happened when they came to america - They got booed offstage and people didn't like their style, so now he's screaming cause he's pissed in his music, whereas most metal bands nowadays that we americans like scream just to scream, to go along with the music, but without emotion: "Fuck 'em all without a care Fake rock wannabes...just die"
I agree with with kaoxtot, about loosing their fanbase and that it's probably like the song R to the core. BUT, considering "fuck 'em all without a care, fake rock wannabes.. just die", I read acouple of magazines when I was in Japan, and there were huge articles about a band called Phantasmagoria, so I looked them up, and I was "god, this is alot like Dir en greys old days", and suddenly I saw the basist, Kisaki, I was like wtf? Is he still alive and kickin'? (for those who doesn't know, Kisaki played instead of Toshiya before Dir en grey, in their former band La:Sadie's), that just makes me think that Kyo's annoyed over the extreme publicity Kisaki gets there, while Dir en grey has lost some fans.
