Vanitas (English) Lyrics

"Emptiness"

Even the scar that's needed to survive grabs
Hold of the lightly-colored spring and stops
Staring into the night, wanting to escape as the voice trembles

Why does death come?
Hearing that word before somewhere
The same answer rains down mischievously

Goodbye to you
The eyes won't look back
To have loved passionately
Listening closely to hear the murmur

I was hiding the end in the dream unconquered
Hoping that this day will be a wonderful day
If you would just...

The ant lion searching for the light
The lost heart always looks to the future as the flowers of lycoris sway

Goodbye to you
The eyes won't look back
To have loved passionately
Listening closely to hear the murmur

I was hiding the end in the dream unconquered
Hoping that this day will be a wonderful day
I will again wipe the tears that will come running down tomorrow

Not stopping, for we will meet at the destination

For One More Day

Words won't teach you anymore, now that you are Alice
here?

Does anyone have any idea where the Alice reference comes from?

it could be an alice in wonderland reference

Cover art for Vanitas (English) lyrics by Dir En Grey

i think the story is about the life of "usuba kagerou" the true lyrics in this translation for "ant lion", the insect which just have 30minutes-1day lifetime after their metamorphosis. u could search about this insect in google with key word "mayfly" the insect need 3 years to metamorph, but just had 2 hours to produce eggs. they even not eating because they haven't functional mouth.. and they really sensitive with pollution and lights would killed them. maybe the Alice means to kagerou itself which just come to "wonderland" for a day. he frightened, struggling, scared because the time is not enough to loving another. but more than that, i always remember Daisuke-san from Kagerou whos kyo-san best friend that passed away a year before Dum Spiro Spero release. also Daisuke-san always love Kagerou insect philosophy of live, so i think this song is farewell song for him.the lyrics "Not stopping, for we will meet at the destination" always make me feels that way.. whatever...its just my thoughts... For me, this is the most gentle song in their dischography after Lotus,love it so much!>..<
