Anyone with any knowledge of Kyo or his life would feel embarrassed for me?

Really? All considering, I'm not some kind of 'new fan'. I've known them for 5 years, and seen them in concert 5 times. I've read an analyzed all of Kyo's songs and poems.

Granted that these lyrics might be shit, and I have no doubt that they are.

I'm kind of embarrassed for you, to think that you know everything about this man. To know him so well that you know he'd never possibly write about something like this.

Obviously, to you, he's someone that only writes about...

Obviously, to you, he's someone that only writes about blood and guts, and how damned he is.

Oh, but do forget the times he's mentioned sorry to those he's hurt, even though he might not know of them.

How on earth could this relate to the audience?

Okay, let me spell this one out for you, since you're obviously too ignorant to read it for yourself.

"I tried so hard to bear with it. I even put out my hand. But what it all comes down to was now;" Have you ever seen the performance of '-Mushi-' on the Blitz 5 days? He looks like he's in so much pain, and he looks like he's trying not to cut himself, not to hurt himself. But the only way for him to feel good again is to do that, at least for that moment. He tried so hard not to do it. 'I even put out my hand'. Wait, what does Kyo do when he's on stage sometimes? Put out his hand for someone to touch? "we're in hell under his control." He could be talking about whoever directs the show, and how he (kyo) isn't the one who decides when the show is over, and how it's not really his fault if the feeling is cut off too soon. Or as inbetweemo stated, he might be referring to himself. "So this is the end I tell you, Lights will be turned off and the stage turned to darkness." Oh, wow, a stage turned into darkness? I wonder what that could mean. "Let me hear your voice more. I still want to be here." Explaining, that the only place he wants to be at that moment is the stage, and he isn't ready yet to leave. He has explained in interviews that Dir en grey is the only thing in his life that keeps him going, and without them he couldn't be happy, and he could never be in any other band. "Goodbye to an anonymous girl I loved from my heart." Probably talking about an audience member, someone that he briefly connected with, although it was only momentarily, because they shared something that night.

"My tears mix with blood, and it brings to life my new dream in my heart." Oh my god, what does Kyo do on stage during this era? Cut himself? Oh dear god, what else does he sometimes do? Cry?

Tears and blood, holy fuck, this song could so never be about a stage performance.

"Until our voices go out, at last. Let's sing until our voices go out."

go fuck yourself.

Well.. its definately NOT about fans and the joy of them singing his song.. for one: well.. look at the lyrics. and two: Kyo has stated he will NEVER write a happy song and never has, reading the lyrics of every DEG song you can see thats true. Writing a song about the joy of his fans singing his songs and giveing back to them is too happy.

It could be about his ex fiance/girlfriend that ditched him (yes theres an interview where he talks about this) but.. you never can know with the way Kyo uses wordplay so often. Everyone...

Okay. Let me try this once again. Did I ever, even if for a moment, say that he said there was a 'joy' in his lyrics? No, I didn't. I, not clearly enough, expressed that it was a bitter sweet feeling.

I don't care if you think Kyo is made of stone, the man has emotion. He has feeling. He has an opinion on his audience. Could you, briefly, for one moment, assume that the man cares about his fans? Because let's fucking be honest here, he's stated more than once how important they are to him (and it was...

I don't care if you think Kyo is made of stone, the man has emotion. He has feeling. He has an opinion on his audience. Could you, briefly, for one moment, assume that the man cares about his fans? Because let's fucking be honest here, he's stated more than once how important they are to him (and it was very -very- important). How would you feel if you were in front of a crowd of people who were singing your feelings?

You would have to feel some kind of connection. At least once out of the, what, thousands of lives they've done? At least once, you would have to feel something. Some emotion.

He might be kind of a loner, and he might isolate himself. But fucking get real if you think he doesn't think about anyone but himself

I am well aware that Kyo stated he will never write a happy song. I never implied that this was a happy feeling. Connections aren't always happy. And I was sure that I stated that this was being 'ripped away' from the connection.

Oh, please dear god show me the interview where he said he had a girlfriend that ditched him. (you were aware that he lies a lot? of course you are, you know everything about him, don't you?)

Not everything he says is a metaphor, either. But, I don't really know, I guess. I don't know him just as much as you don't.

I'd like to think that Kyo would write something more than just metaphor's all of the time. But you obviously think that he is too much of an 'enigma' to ever express an actual part of his world view.

Seriously god, why does everyone think that they know him, and absolutely know for sure what he would completely -never- write about?

This is my opinion. I heard it live. GUESS WHAT HE DID? He -reached out his hands- at the fucking audience. (OH WHAT, AT THE AUDIENCE?) Maybe it was a way to express his emotion. (maybe his emotion was connecting with the crowd)

I signed up just because your attitude pissed me off so much and because this is my favorite song. This song is about the pain he feels because his girlfriend (do not know if it was his fiance or not, but he does state that he was planing on marrying her) left him for one of his best friends and how the pain is the reason he is up on stage spilling his emotions . You were only half right, but your arrogance made you blind to the songs true message. Here is the interview. in here he talks about this...

You were only half right, but your arrogance made you blind to the songs true message. Here is the interview. in here he talks about this girl (though requests that most of the more personal stuff he says is edited out). This is self-confirmed by kyo to be one of the only interviews he didn't bullshit. its kinda long but i suspect you should be able to read it within a week. http://mistress-of-ra.livejournal.com/1421.html Also you say that he uses metaphors to make him an enigma, but using metaphors doesn't do that, it just expresses a point differently than saying "i hate you". Its what makes his music beautiful. Also your idea on metaphors and your hope that Kyo would be more straightforward than most people think goes against your argument earlier about him lieing a lot in interviews. Also you trash others saying "do you know kyo personally?" are total bullshit because you don't know him personally yourself, so stop being a fucking hypocrite and be a true fan

I am not a true fan? Listen, I don't even agree with myself, anymore. That was over a year ago, when I wrote about what I thought this song was about. And have since, found this interview, found a better translation. And guess what, I agree with you!

I am aware that I don't know Kyo personally, and so, I am aware that I am probably wrong, and also willing to accept that. But this was all just opinion, and you can't tell me that my opinion is wrong.

To me; that is what I saw the song as meaning....

To me; that is what I saw the song as meaning. To me now, it doesn't mean even nearly the same thing. My view has changed entirelly.

My point is this, you don't know what he would absolutely not write a song about, so you can't say that anyone is always 100% wrong. We are all wrong, in a sense, and we are all right, in a sense.

Lyrics and music is a feeling that is meant to be interperated. Most times, it is wrongly conceived, and the direct meaning is lost, so Kyo's message in itself isn't always conveyed. But a feeling is always present. Whether it be his or your own.

I didn't mean to come off like an arrogant bitch, and this isn't the fault of anyone on here, but lately it seems as though everyone and their mother thinks that they know everything about what Kyo writes. And the truth is, we all don't know anything at all.

Well that sure was a painfully long and pointless discussion. Honestly, I can't understand how people can fight over what Kyo had in mind with his lyrics. Can't you just have your own opinion and respect that of others? These aren't your everyday lyrics here, Kyo doesn't write in a way that's easy for most fans to understand. And I believe he does it on purpose. He's said he'd rather have each person adapt a "personal" approach to a song and accept it in a way he sees fit for himself. If it manages to speak to you, in any...

If it manages to speak to you, in any way at all, then it's a success. It basically doesn't matter what Kyo was originally thinking when he was writing it. Hell, it might as well be about his favourite TV show that suddenly ended, we'll never know.
