I'm not really sure about Sadistic's (or whomevers) meaning of this song, but to me, it seems to describe a (famous) person trapped as something they are not. The fact that they want to "Spread there wings" as they "dream of the swallowtail" seems as if they are thinking of a life they want to live.
Also, in regards to the snake skin and tralala, its almost like Kyo (or us as he is portraying) is targeting this person, stripping them of false layers so that the world can see who they truely are. He (or we) becomes the rain, attacking them, and they cannot move. It's like they are to scared to face the truth.
Next verse is like they are ready to break from the facade they've shown. Growing up, realizing hiding is pointless, though still trying to retain the beauty that the world knows them by. The quotes about honey is like the face they're still trying to show to the world. Sweet and innocent.
The next part looks like crap. -.- Sorry. But I think the other translations fit better. "Sucking the honey, you who loved the flowers, don't notice me as my beak comes at, you blooming all over with fogura and escargot." But I am titled to an opinion as well.
The part with "show your soiled wings" is like the face finally breaking. The shaking in the stomach thing is like the world finally taking notice that they aren't what they pretended to be. The wings finally coming off is the breaking point, where the world sees them for who and what they truely are. Bitter, the snake skin.
The next verse is like they look at there past life (before the breaking) going round and round in the same cycle with different answers, seeing the outcome of what could have been.
Next verse, they are still breaking. The world has seen the truth of them. Will being like us, normal, make it better? Or something along that line.
"Surely like a mermaid swimming in a pool of gastric juices" To me, the mermaid is representing life. The swimming part meaning going through stages. So that sentence, I interpret; 'surely like life, going through its stages.'
"Surely like a swallowtail the chrysalis has wings" The swallowtail is like the normal people. 'Surely like you, we (famous people) are normal.'
The next verse strikes me as, 'I hope you can forgive us for breaking you, but if you've forgotten yourself, you'll never have wings (be normal).'
Bah. I'm not trying to be a poet or anything, but this is what I felt like it meant, yanno? Like Kyo is describing his fans, or the critics and paparazzi, tearing apart at them (Dir en Grey, famous people) until we get at what they are truely like. So please, no bashing me. -.-'
Moral: While it's true the people will make or break you, it's you whom gives them something to break. Though if you just act yourself, you will be treated as such.
I hope I made some sense. Things don't usually turn out like I mean them to. :)
you might hate my comment but the lyrics have a little illusion of eminem the way I am. Not as the weird lyrics that em wrote but it have the same meaning as your explanation. you are right, celebrity is nothing different as a normal human being, except for fame and price of fame! Both composer that themselves note that they are no different with other except they are writing for public!
