Ryoujoku no Ame (English) Lyrics
The lukewarm raindrops cause a deep wound, even to the innocent
a lie is born
and somewhere the lie becomes something else
someday, all the words, this day and everything else will get buried in the mistake
I hold dear to me, the blue and pure memory
My hope fades away from the angry tears
even the strength to live...
in a fit of passion I go crazy with grief
and so, I pray to the setting sun
burning from the inside
crying with pain
you can not save me
the lost sense of geneosity from the angry tears, is
the love given to me as I am born
the reason for my lost heart,
Must be my own weakness...?
it is the proof of sadness, caused by absolute justice
In the lukewarm rain which does not stop...
and somewhere the lie becomes something else
I hold dear to me, the blue and pure memory
even the strength to live...
in a fit of passion I go crazy with grief
and so, I pray to the setting sun
crying with pain
you can not save me
the love given to me as I am born
the reason for my lost heart,
Must be my own weakness...?

If this isn't my favorite Dir en Grey song, it's definitely one of them. I love the wall of guitars in the intro and exit, they set this sort of overwhelming collapsing mood as the song launches into a sick, almost zombie lurch-like groove of euphoric destruction.... :)
I don't think you can truly make sense of it line for line (especially since it's translated) but it just seems to me like it's another song of theirs that reflects on self-loathing and depression... and how it sort of builds and twists inside you until it consumes you, and it feels so right just to self-destruct.
i agree on the self-loathing thing, kyo seems to do that a ton, u should look up at mine and shadowsilence's comments for more specific/insightful analyzations.

cool song first heard it on the family values tour album
The first lines comment on how the smallest things can make the innocent question themselves and thus lose their innocence.
This loss of innocence results in the realisation that one day, everything around him will be gone, and as such, in the LONG term, nothing matters. However, he tries to hold onto his memories.
Eventually, he can't hold on anymore and in a last attempt to create purpose for himself, "prays to the setting sun". The sun can't save him. Nothing can. However...
He DID have a purpose when he was innocent, as he was given love when he was born, and he used to feel genorosity from others. Therefore, it's his own fault he has no purpose.
I have to admit the line "it is the proof of sadness, caused by absolute justice" is beyond me.
All people lose innocence as little things will constantly cause innocence to be lost.
That's what I think. Thanks.
i think the "proof of sadness caused by absolute justice" can be rephrased as "the physical (or something tangible) manifestation of the grief/guilt that the technical aspects and absolute rules with no regard for ethics had created. so it would be like, he had his purpose stolen away as he was punished for something that he couldn't have gotten out of any other way. he believes he deserves the punishment, or he takes the blame for it and that "no one can save [him]" from the punishment he inflicted upon himself. i guess the punishment part is the tangible manifestation...

ah!i l0ve this song!its great!lyrics is deep as always.luv diru!they rocked!GO DIRU!
Another classic by Dir en grey! It's a very deep song I love it
Lyric wise I love this song. Though, for me... it seems a bit off to listen to. I don't know why, its just a little fucked in my opinion.
