In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I'm walking in the rain
行くあてもなく 傷ついた体濡らし
絡みつく 凍りのざわめき
殺し続けて 彷徨う いつまでも
Until I can forget your love
眠りは麻薬
途方にくれた 心を静かに溶かす
舞い上がる 愛を踊らせて
ふるえる身体を 記憶の薔薇につつむ
I keep my love for you to myself
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Day of joy, days of sadness slowly pass me by
As I try to hold you, you are vanishing before me
You're just an illusion
When I'm awaken, my tears have dried in the sand of sleep
I'm a rose blooming in the desert
It's a dream, I'm in love with you
まどろみ抱きしめて
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
I awake from my dream
I can't find my way without you
The dream is over
声にならない 言葉を繰り返しても
高すぎる灰色の壁は
過ぎ去った日の思いを夢に写す
Until I can forget your love
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Endless rain, let me stay evermore in your heart
Let my heart take in your tears, take in your memories
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
行くあてもなく 傷ついた体濡らし
絡みつく 凍りのざわめき
殺し続けて 彷徨う いつまでも
Until I can forget your love
眠りは麻薬
途方にくれた 心を静かに溶かす
舞い上がる 愛を踊らせて
ふるえる身体を 記憶の薔薇につつむ
I keep my love for you to myself
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Day of joy, days of sadness slowly pass me by
As I try to hold you, you are vanishing before me
You're just an illusion
When I'm awaken, my tears have dried in the sand of sleep
I'm a rose blooming in the desert
It's a dream, I'm in love with you
まどろみ抱きしめて
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
I awake from my dream
I can't find my way without you
The dream is over
声にならない 言葉を繰り返しても
高すぎる灰色の壁は
過ぎ去った日の思いを夢に写す
Until I can forget your love
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Endless rain, let me stay evermore in your heart
Let my heart take in your tears, take in your memories
Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness

Randomly I looked for some X Japan lyrics. I saw this English translation and decided to look. I was so shocked. There's so much depth to this. Right now I'm downloading it because I can really identify to it for now...
The constant referrals to sleep are so true... "To me sleep is a narcotic..." It's the only 'escape' from the misery. A way to forget. But you always wake up...
"Endless rain, fall on my heart, in this wounded soul. Let me forget, all of the hate, all of the sadness. Endless rain, let me stay a memory in your heart. Let me take in your tears, take in your memories."
I'm not sure what I think about this... I understand the last two sentences. Wanting to forever be a memory. Wanting to share another's hardships and memories.
I agree QuietNic. It's a beautiful song. Eventually you have to wake up and see the reality of your life.
i agree with both of you, i belive that that is what this song is about to and it is a good song it is one of my favorite songs by them.
I'm willing to be a blind man,just take a chance to glance them once again...(the immortal song of my life )
This has to be one of my favorite X-Japan songs. It's so beautiful, and it reminds me of someone I love who won't return my love...
Who the hell translated this?
The first line is as follows:
"I'm walking in the rain Nowhere to go, soaking my broken body Killing the noise of the ice binding me Forever, wandering Until I can forget your love"
Above translated by SinigamiXiii
Aisaki, don't try translating songs with a translator.
Aaaand I finished.
I'm walking in the rain Nowhere to go, soaking my broken body Killing the noise of the ice binding me Forever, wandering Until I can forget your love
Sleep is a drug Calming a worried heart Dancing the rising love Shrouding the shaking body in a rose of memories I keep my love for you to myself
Endless rain, fall on my heart On the wounds on my heart Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Days of joy, days of sadness slowly pass me by As I try to hold you, you are vanishing before me You're just an illusion When I'm awake, my tears have dried in the sand of sleep I'm a rose blooming in the desert
It's a dream, I'm in love with you Embracing the drowsiness
Endless rain, fall on my heart On the wounds on my heart Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
I awake from my dream I can't find my way without you
The dream is over Repeating the words that won't come out Seeing the day the grey wall disappeared In my dreams Until I can forget your love
Endless rain, fall on my heart On the wounds on my heart Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Endless rain, let me stay Evermore in your heart Let my heart take in your tears, take in your memories
Endless rain, fall on my heart On the wounds on my heart Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Endless rain...

Random little fact for you all: This song was first written by Yoshiki as a dedication to his father who committed suicide at the age of 33 when Yoshiki was young. When the late hide then committed suicide, also aged 33 years old, the song was dedicated to him. Beautiful, beautiful song...
@Kawaii_Chico: Are you sure? It seems kind of strange to say: "I'm in love with you" to his father...
