Glass Skin (English) Lyrics
My vision begins to blur
The glass sky, the color of the wind
The merry-go-round playing alone
I wave
My somehow faded voice is more important to me than my guilty conscience
Tomorrow I sleep, leaving myself behind
Emptier still than any tears of comedy
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
Here...
In the dark morning, I pretend the window to be a picture frame
I wake my sleeping skin and press my hand against this wet piece of picture
Spring blossoms and the petals fall, giving life to the river
Swaying from side to side, where will you go?
I put my hand on the heavy and closed door
The remains of the parade
The silence laughs along with the fact that I won't be sleeping again tonight
Emptier still than any tears of comedy
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
Here, let there be love...
The jokingly-dancing seasons endlessly hurt
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
And to be melted by the dreams I hold out
(I bleed as my way of compensating everything to you
How heavy is blood?
Happiness and sadness lies too close) (English)
The hand that will be born tomorrow, will be simply pure and nothing else
I can barely see you now with all these tears
Emptier still than any tears of comedy
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
Here, let there be love...
There is a ferris wheel, where I can look down and see you from
The melody that just comes crumbling down is also so sweet and beautiful, it's frightening
The shadow exposed by the sun is branded into my memory
and it touches my heart than any shallow words combined
The glass sky, the color of the wind
The merry-go-round playing alone
I wave
My somehow faded voice is more important to me than my guilty conscience
Tomorrow I sleep, leaving myself behind
Emptier still than any tears of comedy
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
Here...
I wake my sleeping skin and press my hand against this wet piece of picture
Spring blossoms and the petals fall, giving life to the river
Swaying from side to side, where will you go?
I put my hand on the heavy and closed door
The remains of the parade
The silence laughs along with the fact that I won't be sleeping again tonight
Emptier still than any tears of comedy
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
Here, let there be love...
The jokingly-dancing seasons endlessly hurt
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
And to be melted by the dreams I hold out
How heavy is blood?
Happiness and sadness lies too close) (English)
The hand that will be born tomorrow, will be simply pure and nothing else
I can barely see you now with all these tears
Left to be just taken
Left to be just damaged
Here, let there be love...
There is a ferris wheel, where I can look down and see you from
The melody that just comes crumbling down is also so sweet and beautiful, it's frightening
The shadow exposed by the sun is branded into my memory
and it touches my heart than any shallow words combined

No one has analyzed the lyrics yet? What I can quickly come up with is that the narrator is saying goodbye to someone he/she loves, and then spends his/her days in grief. I love the sound of this new single; I've been looping it for days :D
[Continuation] "I bleed as my way of compensating everything to you How heavy is blood?" It seems the writer is showing his memory of being in that "cell" that I imagine, which is , most likely, a thick memoir. He shares to his loved one his memory of being in that cage by himself as a little boy. Blood, meaning the amount of memory. In an off sort of way, the author "bleeds" out his memories to compensate to that person.
Well the song can mean anything to anyone but Kyo's already said "Glass Skin’s lyrics seem to be captured as a love song, but it really isn’t like that. If I were to put in a phrase, it’s about environmental problems without being too preachy, the deterioration, the evanescence; I wanted to express these qualities. I don’t want to get preachy or sing positively. It’s more of “having something positive within something that’s not positive.” I have that as my foundation. The view you see is different with something born from nothing comparing to seeing and creating something from destruction." -taken from http://hitorizu.livejournal.com/17257.html
It's a beautiful song, and actually my favorite song.
'The merry-go-round playing alone.'
When I saw that part in the music video, It reminded me of how much it hurt as a kid, when you were the kid being picked on in the schoolyard.
'In the dark morning, I pretend the window to be a picture frame'
I believe this to be what he wanted life to be, the meaning of this, what he saw through the window was peaceful and tranquil. Maybe he wanted life to be what he saw through his eyes?
'I bleed as my way of compensating everything to you How heavy is blood? Happiness and sadness lies too close'
I believe this part is, Maybe mutilation? Because, out of nowhere does something like this pop up. And, Maybe he'd hurt himself in longing to fit in? Or it could be metaphorically, and mean that he tries too hard to fit in, and in the end only hurts himself.
'There is a ferris wheel, where I can look down and see you from The melody that just comes crumbling down is also so sweet and beautiful, it's frightening'
This could be retribution, where he finds out that Karma comes back around, and he is now looking down at the little people now. That his life is finnaly as he'd picture it to be..and it sometimes scares him.
'The shadow exposed by the sun is branded into my memory and it touches my heart than any shallow words combined'
The shadow, Could also be his past. And his past keeps him going today.
Basically, a long story about 'what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.'

Like almost all of Dir En Grey's songs, the meaning is foggy, but i am soooooo looking forward to the new album. the video for this song is amazing and this song sounds like a return to the Pre- Withering to Death era, so i know its going to be epic
