I.V.

at 1st, i didnt think this song is good enough, but then i read SAW only gave yoshiki 10 days to compose, record, and perform!

I'm pretty sure this song is about hide, not a girl. Read the lyrics again (even though some of them are wrong) while thinking of hide, you'll see it.

Also, in the Film clip, I believe that is hide on the screen. Yes, the guitar does represent hide, as he is still a member of X Japan. It is his guitar, too. just thought i'd leave my thoughts. xx

I have never - NEVER - heard a new song that was exactly what I need in music at that time. I got it through Rock Band 2, thought it was decent, then d/l'ed it... With each listen, it affected me more and more, and a littel differently each time. I have a lot of music, but never has one song stood out so much, like other posters here, I fell in love with music again. Once I went through the lyrics, my understanding of the song has taken new light. It affects me so personally, it's as though it was written for me. I don't just relate to it, I connect. And not knowing much about X Japan before listening to this song, the history behind it is amazing, the feeling from the song is so goddamn real. If you can try finding the Hide Memorial show X Japan did, (try torrents to find it), I never thought I could be moved as much as I was by it.

Only reason I know this song is cuz it's the credits song of Saw 4... I love it

this is really well written considering the amount of time yoshiki had

This song has to be one of the best regret songs i have ever heard. I know, because what im going through, and what i feel, matches this perfectly. The whole meaning of the song lies in the chorus.

[I'm calling you, dear. Can't you see me standing right here? Life's bleeding from fear. I'll give it straight from my vein.]

In his way, hes regreting whatever he did to make her leave him, and wonders if she even cares about him. He would do anything at all to have her back! Ever since, he cant find himeslf. He dosent know where he's going, or what will happen, but his longing and need for her drives him. This is my take on the song.

To me, this song is about a girl who leaves this guy for some reason, but he can't let her go. He starts taking drugs to still his pain from the heartache, like the song's titel I.v. (Intravenous). His feelings for everything are blunt and he can't see no reason to live without this girl. That's why he doesn't fear life 'cause he wouldn't care if he died and all he wants is to make her see how he's suffering and make her take him back.

A little change also,

"I.V. in my pain, do you feel where it's been Can you strip away the history of the world, and when it's so far from its life can a shape of the shadow fade, forever fade away"

This song sounds so different live!
