Reiketsu Nariseba Lyrics

Cover art for Reiketsu Nariseba lyrics by Dir En Grey

Next to the english versions of Glass Skin & Dozing Green, this is the third song off the new CD that is completely all in english. It's almost in the same vein as Agitated Screams of Maggots, but more heavier, since Kyo switchs from screaming to gutteral growling in a split-second. To tell you the truth, this song could be better than Agitated, but that's my own opinion. Now right to interpretation ^^. I think the song is about Kyo bashing celebrities, mocking them in a sense(and oh how he mocks them :) ):

'You're the one that's lost now' Kyo's way of saying "You dug your own grave. Deal with it"

'You shallow shit with that sad little look on your face' 'Why don't you just grow yourself some wings of pity' Pretty much saying how that person looks so pitiful by putting on an act, telling that person to make your own sypathy, as that person isn't getting it here. Compare this to how a celberity puts on an act to get sympathy for their actions and you'll get the basic gist of it.

'Lose track of who you are,all dolled up as a star...?You make me laugh' 'Money?Fame?Success?' He begins to mock the person and laughs at how low that person has sunk. He point out how that person has nothing to fall back onto anymore.

'Suck Me' 'Destroy' A clever way of saying go fuck yourself. Pretty much telling the person to kiss his ass or go to hell.

'Even when you talk big,you do it by protecting yourself' 'Suck Me' He's saying to the person that their putting on a big act just to prevent their name from being smeared any further. He then adds a personal "Fuck Off" at the end.

The title, Reiketsu Nariseba, can be translated as "Let it be cold-blooded." Just a guess, but it could be considered like a forewarning that he's not going to pull his punches with his statements.
