In my opinion (I could be mistaken of course), I think it's Kyo talking to himself.
"You're the one that's lost now"
I think that maybe he is lost when it comes to his lyrics, maybe he feels like he has no inspiration; let's be honest, his lyrics don't even look like they used to.
"You shallow shit with that sad little look on your face
Why don't you just grow yourself some wings of pity"
Kyo IS an unhappy person, everybody knows that, he has said it himself, so maybe he feels empty and when he looks at himself in the mirror he sees that sadness in his eyes. The part of the wings of pity might be sarcastic, like "why don't you go cry in your room".
"Lose track of who you are, all dolled up as a star...? You make me laugh
Money? Fame? Success?"
He might be talking about his carrer, that he is a star now, he's famous, has money, has succeeded in the music scene, but maybe he changed into something he doesn't want to be, he feels like he isn't himself anymore, or maybe he can't be himself anymore.
"Suck Me
Destroy"
That is just a "fuck you"
"Even when you talk big, you do it by protecting yourself"
Kyo is a very cold person, he doesn't talk much and maybe he is talking about protecting himself by only opening up in musical aspects, I mean, he limits himself and only talks about the band, he doesn't want anybody to know anything about his personal life. And that could be his "shield", he avoids personal stuff and only focuses on the band. Something like that...
"Suck Me"
Fuck you again.
This could be completely wrong, but he has written songs about himself before, R to the Core, Clever Sleazoid, Machiavellism... And this, to me, is definitely about Kyo talking to himself. Maybe he is unhappy with how he is as a writer and singer now... And the PV is kinda supporting my point of view... well, how can I explain it...? Many scenes in the video show something like a typical North American family and lifestyle, and there's also many "drawings" and images with a very western style. The fact that there's a family watching TV and they appear in the screen makes me think of something like "we are a big hit in the US now" but maybe Kyo isn't really happy with that. He even said in recent interviews that he doesn't really enjoy touring overseas when it comes to the US lately. It could be because of the fact that many fans in the US like them because of their Vulgar~TMOAB era and later, not many really enjoy their previous CD's or really like their VK times (many "fans" are glad they quitted make up and stuff and prefer a more... "western style"), or maybe just because it's exhausting, who knows... Besides, many non-japanese fans have requested more songs in english, not realizing that they are a JAPANESE band and Kyo sings in Japanese, he had done that for years, only including short phrases in english, but suddenly he has to change the other way around to "please" many Dir en grey fans. And I guess he isn't very happy with that. He dosn't have to write songs in english only, but he has to sing in a "perfect" english too, because when he "did what he could" everyone complained and said "he should definitely practise/improve his english" (Why don't you improve your japanese then??) and that must be a pain in the ass. The part in the video where you see a woman cutting her tongue maybe means he can't express what he really thinks. Maybe the whole "fame and success" has limited his "repertoire"? For the "circus" thing... maybe he finds himslef as a clown, entertaining others but behind a "mask", not really showing his true self. And there are many parts where you can see female figures lifting their skirts, in provocative poses; I interpreted that as a feeling of "protitution"; maybe Kyo thinks he "sold" himself for money, fame and success?
This post is too long already so I'm going to stop writing, besides I've already explained the idea...
And the Indian stuff... I have no idea what they mean, I'm not into Hindu culture so I can't figure out the meaning.
