| Dir En Grey – Marmalade Chainsaw (English) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song has lots of refferences to the main character of A clockwork orange, a character Kyo sympathizes with. I think the marmalade chainsaw is actually a play on clockwork orange, seemingly meanigless but dadaistic meanings and obscure references can still be drawn from it. I think it speaks of his relationship of mock violence with the crowd. | |
| Dir En Grey – Mazohyst Of Decadence (English) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think that Mazohyst is the Japanese or a misspelled term for Masochist which is someone who enjoys pain, I think the intended meaning of the song is essentially 'elaborate self destructions', 'or self destructive person with low morals'. Anyway the lyrics are so fucking tragic, I cried the first time I read them, I hate abortion (I'm a liberal and yes I still have morals so ha), and if you watch the vid it is quite obviously about abortion. |

I love this song it is so tragic, yet beautiful. I love the inflection and range of the vocals. I also like the industrialesque loop witht he parents (and sister) screaming at the child. |

| Dir En Grey – Agitated Screams of Maggots Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I don't see how anyone else has gotten what I've gotten, but I see this as a diss on celebrity worship. First off he blatantly says " I wanna shout to all the trash celebrity stars ect..." so the raping the daughter on the grave thing I don't think is a sexual perversion statement just a statement of pure rage. He also metions Black Flag from which I understand Diru enjois that band (as do I) which was a hardcore punk band against buying into the mainstream and finding ones self... especially if you read Henry Rollins' lyrics and poems which discuss alot of the same things of self perfection and self mutilation, but the saying this is the Black Flag motherfucker is like carrying the torch of celebrity hate. Yet I think that Kyo realizes that he also has become an idol senselessly so, people worship his footsteps worldwide and I believe that he hates that because it makes him and others hypocrits. Notice in Cleaver Sleazoid when he says "I'm nothing but a third rate star covered in blood." I think both of those songs are discussing conformity and celebrity worship. Also notice two things about Kyo's dress in the Sleazoid vid, one he looks alot like Marilyn Manson an artist he openly dislikes and the epitome of the 'sheep in black' goth conformist idol, and also he uses the Clockwork Orange makeup. BTW I really admire his attempts at english even though some of his vowels are bad, he still maintains a fantastic range. |
