| Gazette – Nausea & Shudder (english) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i think it's about dissillusionment, being forced to fit into a mould by someone else, and hating it, but still carrying on. the first verse is about something really looked forward to - something anticipated and dreamed about, and then when it is reached, the realiseation slowly trickles over the person - 'this is not what it seemed from the outside. this is hell, even though it looks like paradise to an outsider.' I think this line illustrates this concept well - ''Even if HEAVEN is covered with mud, it becomes a paradise when we live in it.'' The second verse is introspective i think. He looks in on himself and asks, 'is this what i wanted - did i truly wish to be like this?' he also mentions that he could escape from the life, but the fear of uncertainty in his future keeps him from leaving. Interesting song. Ruki has a way of conveying things in his lyrics that is fascinatingly different and intriguing. |

This song is hauntingly beautiful. It made me cry the first time I heard the lyrics and understood them properly. The singing, especially the live version... It sends shivvers down my spine. It sounds so dispairing and pained. The song is about a murder case that happened in Japan in the late 1980's. Ruki-san wrote it as a tribute to the girl who was killed. There is a Wikipedia page about the case - if you have the stomach - it truly was a horrific murder. Just type 'Concrete-Encased High School Girl Murder' into Wikipedia... Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. This song is both terrible and beautiful... Brutally violent and delicate in the description and emotion portrayed. Gazette truly are artists, to come up with something like this. |
