シビレを切らしてる
僕はマゾの血をひき
サドの君を待つ
出来れば毒の baiser で

悲嘆故に美徳見えず
君は最後の mother で
記憶埋めて気付かれぬように
最初の mother

時計は左回りでも
犯した罪は変えれず
最初で最後の理解者 焼き付けて

嫌がる僕を見て
強くそして優しく
無理矢理の決断
決して君には言えない

皮のキシム音が痛い
傷を深めてゆこう
嫉妬深い君は いつでも
冷血なの?

幼い頃の虐待がね
今でも忘れずにいたい
何故 mother はいないの
教えてよ oh

Ah いつかはやさしさに気付いて
聖母なる「ゆりかご」の中で

悲痛故に前が見えず
僕の最後の mother で
せめて君に気付かれぬように
最初の mother

時計は左回りでも
犯した罪は変えれず
最初で最後の理解者 壊した
僕には優し過ぎたのかなあ?
昔のトラウマを映し
最後の君まで壊した僕はサド?

    I really like the lyrics to this song. If you do a search you can find an English translation.

    I got bored and searched for you people (aren't I nice?) M'Kay now I didn't translate it, so don't bitch at me if it's wrong:

    impatient the masochist's blood runs in my veins I wait for you, the sadist if I can do it with a poisonous kiss

    because of sorrow I cannot see virtue you are the last mother the memory buried so that you won't realise the first mother even though the clock turns backwards the sin I've committed can't be changed the first and last person who understood me is burned into my memory

    see me resisting strongly and then kindly forcing a decision I can never tell you the creaking sound of leather hurts me let's make the wound even deeper you, deeply jealous are you always so cold-hearted? even now I don't want to forget the abuse of my childhood why don't I have a mother? tell me...

    someday I'll realise kindness inside the mother-like "cradle"...

    because of anguish I cannot see before me my last mother at least, so that you won't realise the first mother even though the clock turns backwards the sin I've committed can't be changed the first and last person who understood me is destroyed

    were you too kind to me? the reflection of a trauma from long ago I destroyed you, the last one am I a sadist?

    Good translation, between that and the other I have I can get a pretty good idea of what the English translation is. Unfortunately the translator of the other set doesn't allow them to be published >.

    Really good beat to this song and meaningful lyrics. I was searching for the English version and the translator left a note saying "Scary song about abuse. I wonder how real it is though ? Kyo doesn't exactly seem like the abused type. He likes Street Fighter Alpha III for crying out loud. Nice S&M images in this song. What could it be about... My first and last mother...? Is that girlfriend vs. birth mother or birth mother vs. step mother?"

    I thought when he was singing "kimi wa saigo no mama de" it meant "You stay the same way as the last" I don't think it's talking about mother or whoever, or is that just my misunderstanding? lol

    I read somewhere that Kyo was abused as a child...of course, I could be wrong.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
