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.
Umm vinushka ほら umm
Umm vinushka vinushka
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
雲と交わす 呼吸を止めて
嗚呼 ただ 盲目の殻
Ah ah 此処が底か? 陰りに身を焼かれ
嗚呼 ただ 忘れていたい
蟻の巣へと 欲を滑らせ
さあ 今 生まれ変わればいい ah ah ah ah
明日を眠らせて 振り向く安らぎ
鋭く尖る 感情に身を任せて
うねる流れさえ生きてる証と
涙に耽る明日を誘う ah ah
うえつくドグラ マグラ
斑の痛みと唯一の人格
色取り取りに飾りつけられた瞳も もういらない
また偽善が連れ去って行くのか?
独りきりの真っ赤な夜舞台
湧き上がる立役者に捧げる
此処が真実だ
誤魔化せない心の片隅には「まだ此処に居たい」
許せないのは誰?
冷えた声を響かせ 誓う
業と歩む 天地裂けた我この身と叫ぶ
罰と刻む 風と消えろ我の証は?
業と歩む 天地裂けた我この身と叫ぶ
罰と刻む 風と消えろ我の証は?
「金剛に輝く月はもう 見飽きそうなくらい眺めたんだ
狼にもなれそうにない 闇に狂いそうだ
首を喰らいたい 儚き残骸 眠らせはしないから
甘えたい年頃か 小夜なら 君に狂いそうだ」
誰しもが幸福とばかりに 手を伸ばし闇に潜む鬼となる
もうすでに終わりは生まれた
形は零に生まれ子宮に這い戻り腐る
繰り返す度 崩れてゆくお前等の面が
耳を砕く真相には 誰も触れやしない
抑圧された意思
罪を贖い命よ去れ
Umm vinushka ほら umm
Umm vinushka ah ah vinushka
儚きアンチテーゼ 咽び泣く地へと
テーゼに浸る共有に骨を埋めて
憂鬱 背負うまま ざらつく津波に
さらわれ苦い涙と笑う
価値を見出せず 首縊り十三階段
手を叩き馴れ合う人
女々しい思想に混ざり傷付ける
そんな君がなんだか悲しすぎる ah
血しぶく 本能
踏み潰し ah 死を語る
業と歩む 天地裂けた我この身と叫ぶ
罰と刻む 風と消えろ我の証は?
業と歩む 天地裂けた我この身と叫ぶ
罰と刻む 風と消えろ我の証は?
耳を砕く真相には 誰も触れやしない
抑圧された意思
罪を贖い命よ去れ
俺が悪であるが故に
生きる意味さえ罪なのか ah ah ah ah woo
Umm vinushka vinushka
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
雲と交わす 呼吸を止めて
嗚呼 ただ 盲目の殻

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I LOVE how in Gaika, Chinmoku ga Nemuru Koro, Red Soil, Vinushka how he goes berserk and starts making gargling noises. It like a mix between being suffocated, drowned, and trying to get enough air in your lungs because all week you've been eatting at Mc'Donalds.
I'm kinda pissed cos I typed out my comment and my internet lagged and I have to re-do this. -.-
Basically I don't understand the whole song, but with all reference to my history lessons and the video:
The emptiness of the antithesis Becomes the choking and crying land Bury the bones in the common land immersed in thesis Be burdened by depression The gritty tsunami takes me away and I smile with bitter tears Couldn't understand the value of things The hanging of the necks at the 13 stairs Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands That mixes in with sissy thoughts and hurts others Seeing you like this, it's just too sad
Splash of blood Squashing basic instincts Talk about death
I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?
No one wants to talk about the truth that hurts the ear The suppressed minds
Compensate the sins, and let life be gone
Is it a sin for me to live because I am evil?
~~
Ok so in Japan the government officially conceals a lot of the truth about WWII. To my knowledge they portray themselves as the absolute victims, being bullied by the Allies and all - correct me if I am wrong.
What actually happened was that the military got hold of the government, who weren't able to suppress the army's increasing influence over the entire nation. throw in a wall street crash, protectionist policies of other nations, and the pride of the japanese - we get a rising sun out to conquer asia, and then the rest of the world.
That's why (No one wants to talk about the truth that hurts the ear The suppressed minds)
Now I'm Singaporean and perhaps I am biased, but I often hear stories about how the Japanese ill-treat civilians from whatever country they conquered. (we were a Brit colony, the English people made us surrender, they were too busy fending the Nazis off their land anyway) The Japanese occupation is always portrayed as a period of pain and suffering for us, where people are tortured, raped, and basically bullied very badly. Anybody heard of Sook Ching? A massacre indeed.
And thus the reference to sinning and being evil.
Still, there's much controversy over whether it was appropriate for the Allies to drop two atomic (refer to entire chunk of imagery that refers to the dropping of the bombs)on Japan. If I am not mistaken, radiation still plagues Nagasaki and Hiroshima up till today. The idea is that the younger generation weren't the ones who committed the "sins"; yet retribution befalls upon them.
That should explain (Is it a sin for me to live because I am evil? )
Also that line alone suggests that Dir en Grey, as they are Japanese themselves, admit that they weren't right to go around bullying China and the Southeast Asian nations.
Hmm and one last part (Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands) I think this refers to the Allies celebrating over the successful dropping of Little Boy and Fat Man.
if i read more out of this, I'll post them later.
Dir en grey is awesome.
Very interesing opinion!<br /> I think you'll find that the music video highly supports your claims, that is if you haven't seen it already. The music video, however, seems to focus on being the victims, at least in terms of the atom bombs. <br /> <br />
Did you read the booklet? I did, you must have good eyes.
Yeah, I read them. It was pretty painful, but eh. The things I do for my favorite band. :)
lol I started to post the lyrics for this song when it wasn't up yet, but it was too tedious and painful.
I did the same thing. WITH ALL THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM! lol So I sent my work in but apperently they where reconstructing the site at the time an never got them. D:<br /> ALL that work for nothin'. lol
That outburst at 4:40 makes me picture KYO in a Child Prey/Raccoon esque costume having a seizure while beating some corporate pig with his red metal stage platform to the beat of the song...
O_O<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Now that you had said that I can kinda see that too, lol XD
Pre-Death Metal: sitting alone in a dark asylum thingy slowly growing insane as days pass...<br /> <br /> Death Metal Part: breaks down and goes fucking nuts and start banging on the walls and starts having seizures...<br /> <br /> Post-Death metal: a sort of a blood spewing seizure convulsing like a madman scratching the hell outta himself, and the five last high pitched squeals he's on the floor convulsing to the sound of those squeals, breaks free to look for victems to slaughter. then kills everyone...but then noticed it was a bad dream.<br /> <br /> 2nd death metal part: goes crazy after that...<br /> <br /> I'm THAT visual about it.
Does anyone know what he's saying at the "death Metal" part? It seems they're getting harder and harder to follow nowadays. XD But this album is quite easily the one to remove them from JRock. Well done
I think this probably was the longest song Diru ever wrote (correct me if I'm wrong)<br /> when it got to the deathmetal part, the images I got in my mind was Obscure/Cleaver Sleazoid Kyo running around crazily on the stage to the song...
Macabre is the longest
"I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell<br /> I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?"<br /> <br /> that is the "death-metal part" personally, in my oppinion,this is one of thier best songs.
i know i probably got this wrong but in the section of the song where kyo says "The inculated Dogra Magra The pain of the mark and the one and only personality And those colorful eyes all decorated I don't want them anymore Is hypocrisy going to come and take it all away? The lonely red stage at night I dedicate the following to the aspiring leading actor That's where the truth is"
Was he talking about the fans that won't listen to dri en grey anymore because their style had changed? I don't know, but that's what I got out of it I think it's sad how people who call themselves true fans wont listen to them anymore because they dont look the same way they did five years ago thats retarded their lyrics and music are still absolutely amazing, and it blows my mind every time i listen to a song to those fans who don't like dir en grey now because how they look and their music style you were never a true fan to begin with
This song is absolutely incredible, it speaks to me very well.
I do not know if this is the point Kyo is trying to get across but to me, it is a song about, people who waste their life with going along with society. For those who want to give up on life, for being too scared to be themselves.
I don't Dir en Grey (particularly Kyo) is arrogant enough to worry about the fans who prefer their older music. I, myself am more worried about the people who refuse to acknowledge that era simply because of their appearance at the time. Dir en Grey has always had HUGE variations to their music. Even on the same album, compare Akuro no Oka to Zan. This song seems to be about viewing different contridictions within oneself and trying, though not well, to make an interpertation of them. Self-reflection is often insanely difficult.
OMFG!! Kyo's vocals make me want to have multiple eargasms over and over and over :p Diru=Fucktastic
I definitely agree with Iovereplica's interpretation. Watch the extended music video, and it will all become clear.
