The Hill of Acropolis

At that place, we happened to meet.. and now we can't do anything, yet..
In this town, we happened to meet.. and now I cannot love anyone, yet..

You are now, at that hill, where we two saw this sky that you are staring at
I am now, at this sky, where we two were that hill that I am staring at

withered flowers like that point in time it's good only once more wanting to bloom beautifully
Within this night even spirit, even ideals melt into the darkness at least, even for tonight
I'll be by your side

At that place, my encounter with you everything will begin and now, we can't do anything
In this town, my encounter with you and now, with you who cannot love anyone, the two of us
again, to that hill

withered flowers like that point in time it's good only once more wanting to bloom beautifully
Within this night even spirit, even ideals melt into the darkness at least, even for tonight

the bond that joined us is broken I, deeply depressed saw at the end, I loved you
a dream that won't come true wait at the hill of Acropolis I want to sink into sleep with you
to unwakeable dreams

The past can never be restored, but... in another incarnation I will search for you, so
Until that time wait for me yet now at that hill, you are not there....

    General Comment:To Miyabi.. according to Kyo, none of his songs are loves songs. Maybe you should read some interviews or something. He says that you can take the song anyway you want it, but, he never writes love songs.


    In my opinion, that's just ridiculous. I can see where he is coming from, but honestly. It's hard not to have one love song. I mean look at 'Ain't afraid to die' and even the english version of 'Glass Skin'... But the point is, -he- has no love songs.

    People have love songs.

    General Comment:From what I understand from my Ancient History class, the hill he's talking about is in Greece.

    Acropolis is a sacred hill in Greece that houses an ancient Greek city. On this hill, they built temples for the Gods and eventually, a city began forming around the temples. Every four years, there's a festival held on top of the acropolis, something like the Olympic Games, where many people all over Greece can meet.

    The word "acropolis" derives from two Greek words:
    'akro' meaning 'highest'
    'polis' meaning 'city'

    I don't know what it means to Kyo, but perhaps it's symbolic for him. The highest city, closer to the heavens? Maybe for him, it's a place closer to death where he and this loved one will meet once more.

    Just my thoughts. ^__^;;

    General Comment:It is a very beautiful song. Again, I generally don't like bands of Dir en Grey's kind but for some strange reason, Diru's got me. I love their music. I don't know why.

    General Comment:As far as the hill goes, I think it's just a generic romance thing. There are tons of stories with couples meeting together on hills or in the middle of a field filled with flowers surrounded by forests and such. Kyo's just using that to make the story more romantic and sad

    General Comment:i wont lie this song jerked my heart and i splashed tears, you can just sense that a song has such beautiful lyrics too it even if you dont understand the language dir en grey are very good at getting emotion through their music.. in the end thats a main part of what music is expression and feelings shown harmonically
