The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
苦痛重ねた日々苦痛重ねた日々 固めてアスファルトに (ウメテ)
毒の花が咲き乱れて 十字を斬り祈れば
平和主義者の白い mask この手に取って (コワセ)
右へ習え 縛られた廢人達 (ゾロゾロ)
ムチで打たれる毎日なら 首生掴み
破壊主義者の黒い mask この手に取って (カブレ)
Sweet life, mad life, last life, brain crash
Sweet life, mad life, last life, brain crash
右目 左目 右手 左手 右足 左足 (クビ)
骨 汗 涙 血液 呼吸 神経 脳も (ズタズタ)
麻痺するまで飲まし続け ヒルを飲ませて
夢を断ち切られて生きてく独裁主義に (クルエ)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
the speaker at the begining of this ong makes me think that the song is about nazi germany, but thats a wild geuss, what do you think?
I think it's about insanity personally. Maybe insanity brought on by some kind of government or something. I don't see anything specific about n.germany or anything really.
I welcome comments/ideas!
It could be about Nazi Germany. It's more likely, if it's along those lines, that it's about Unit 731. It was a medical expermentation unit by the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2. Basically they did alot of horrible experimentation on people, alot like the Nazis did experiments on people.
The beginning part is from Charles Lindbergh's Des Moines Speech saying that FDR had led American people to WW2. So Kyo is probably saying that Lindbergh was wearing a pacifist "mask" or something? iono...
yeah those could be true.
I love watching this live. Seeing Kyo's emotions break loose. You can see that Kaoru and Die switch guitar roles constantly in here. I love this song.
those are some great insights. that's one thing i absolutely love about dir en grey; the lyrics that kyo comes up with are pretty deep.
I agree with demented_lullaby.I also think it's about insanity.
