| Gazette – Bathroom [English] Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Oh, gosh, I love this song. x3 I heard a small bit of them playing it live and fell instantly in love. As has already been mentioned, I'm looking at this like him walking in on his mother. I'm assuming she committed suicide, based on the lines "The reason was not important. Only you look so sad in front of me." and "I hate myself so much because I couldn't do anything for you." I think that the entirety of the song actually takes place thoughout him finding his mother's body in the bath room. The starting few lines would be him first noticing something is off and going to find his mother, only to see her in the bath room. This would also explain the reference to her still being warm, seeing as he would have only just found her after she killed herself. "I softly lined you with deep red color on the white wall." That line threw me off for a bit, but maybe it's referring to her splattered blood, rather than a casket? Like, he's looking over the scene, and his mind is "lining" her up with the blood, putting two and two together? Then again, that doesn't make much sense with the word "softly", or the fact that he seems to have already come to terms with the death earlier in the song. I also just started wondering if that last bit is, perhaps, him joining her in the suicide? In that way, the "deep red color" would be his own blood as he gets close to her, also making the last line a more literal saying of him being beside her in death. Aaaah, I have no idea. Too tired for this stuff, I sya. It's, like, four in the morning, and I hardly slept yesterday. xD |

I honestly don't know what he's really saying. xO But I see it as this guy trying to decide whether or not he's actually in love. "She loves me, she loves me not." "These petals decide what's next for you and I..." And may I point out that it should be "you and me". xD Maybe it was some short "fling" kind of thing (please excuse the rhyme), but now he's confused as to whether or not they actually love each other, thus why he is pulling the old flower petal trick. "Leads summer on, leads summer on" However, his obsession with figuring out this love (or with her, for that matter) ends up being his downfall, for a current lack of a better word, and perhaps he withdraws from everyone because he can't think of anything else. "My love was my decay." "Mislead devotion into seclusion." In his developed obsession, he convinces himself that he really is in love with her. She, however, might not see it that way. This could then lead to a literal meaning of the ending lines because he's so upset that she won't love him back? The title itself could also refer to looking for love in the wrong place, just like you'd be looking in the wrong place if you went to Alaska for penguins. I can understand what people mean about Romeo and Juliet, but I just don't see it that way because Romeo and Juliet never doubted their love for each other; they were utterly infatuated from the first moment they met. And, well, that's my two cents. x] |
