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.
Yukkuri to yo ga akeru made kimi o dakishimeteta
Nanimokamo ushimau made kizukazu ni yasuragi ni oboreteta
'Itaisa...'
Izen no jibun nara kutsuu ni kao o yugamaseteta
Ima nara kono itami ni sae yasashisa o oboeru
Eieni maboroshi ni dakareru yori
Hitotoki demo jiyuu o erabu
Tsubasa o hiroge sora e habitaite
Yakareru mae ni taiyouni nare
Kaze yo fuke sora e michibiite
Kimi no subete o ubawaru mae ni
Tooi kako ni ikitsuzukeru utsuroge na kimi ga iru
Itsumademo ugokanai no nara kirisakarebaii
Sashinoberu kono ude o tsukameru nara
Hitorikiri demo
Kimi wa mada wareru
kousa o abite sora o maiagure
Tsuyoku kagayaku taiyouni nare
Kaze ni nore...ryoute o hirogete
Kimi no subete o kowasaru mae ni
Furueru kimi
Dare no tame ni ikiru no?
'Mitsukeru dame...'
Subete o shinjite
Tsubasa hiroge sora e habataite
Yakareru mae ni taiyou ni nare
Kaze yo fuke...sora e michibiite
Kimi no subete o ubawareru mae ni
Kousa o abite sora e maiagare
Tsuyoku kagayaku taiyou ni nare
Kaze ni nore...ryoute o hirogete
Kimi no subete o te ni ireru tame ni
Nanimokamo ushimau made kizukazu ni yasuragi ni oboreteta

This wasn't my favorite Gackt song at first. It was still great, you know, anything by Gackt is. But then when I saw the music video, it totally changed my mind. I love it even more than I did before. (^-^)
it's a song like i like!
I was so happy to finally get this single, for my birthday, YAY I'm old now ^____^!!!! Well anyway I love this song, as I've said before somewhere else, he has the most sexxah voice!
This song is about a lover (well in my mind, a lover) who is struggling. The narrator tells his lover to go into the sky, become something great. The imagery is very phoenix-oriented, and beautiful. It could also be about death or a break-up. He says, "It's so cold." and "It hurts."
ps, you weaboos, this is where you interpret the song, not just say how much you like it.
