The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
焼き付くような心が 鈴の音を感じてる
鳴らない電話を 見つめていたかった
街角を曲がるとすぐ 2人でよく見た映画を
真夏の色と共に 想いだすよ あの頃を
真夏の太陽 想いを重ねた季節
風に流された 君には2度と届かず
泣き出した君を見て 当たり前の事のように
ただ君を見つめ 何も出来なくて
知らない香りがする それはヤツの為なのかい?
僕には気付かれないようにしてた君は もう
5年の月日が過ぎ ヤツと君は幸せかい?
寺町で偶然逢い 何故か心が痛くて
真夏の太陽 想いを重ねた季節
風に流された 君には2度と届かず
冷たい太陽 新しい色に変えて
傷跡を隠さず 新しい季節に染め
傷付けられて 傷付けあって 人は傷を隠すけれど
自分自身を超えてみせるよ 僕は綺麗な花になる
大切なものは 想い出は
鳴らない電話を 見つめていたかった
街角を曲がるとすぐ 2人でよく見た映画を
真夏の色と共に 想いだすよ あの頃を
真夏の太陽 想いを重ねた季節
風に流された 君には2度と届かず
泣き出した君を見て 当たり前の事のように
ただ君を見つめ 何も出来なくて
知らない香りがする それはヤツの為なのかい?
僕には気付かれないようにしてた君は もう
5年の月日が過ぎ ヤツと君は幸せかい?
寺町で偶然逢い 何故か心が痛くて
真夏の太陽 想いを重ねた季節
風に流された 君には2度と届かず
冷たい太陽 新しい色に変えて
傷跡を隠さず 新しい季節に染め
傷付けられて 傷付けあって 人は傷を隠すけれど
自分自身を超えてみせるよ 僕は綺麗な花になる
大切なものは 想い出は

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I heard that this song is about Kyo's once-fiance who left him for his best friend... anyone else know?
But anyway, the lyrics are beautiful as always.
Yeah, that's what it's about. One of the only songs he wrote about something that actually happened to him.
I love this song... so amazing. What most people don't know though was that Kyo was in love with a girl and (This is hard for him to talk about) she cheated on him with another guitarist (Not Kaoru or Die or Toshiya) and she kicked him out of his own apartment when he found out. He really loved her but she did not love him back... According to what Kyo said about what she had said, she thought they were just roommates(?) I haven't read the interview in a year or two. Even though Kyo is notorious for lying, that interview and his love interest interviews are the only recorded known interviews he's never lied in.) The interview where I read this, I kept seeing all these breaks saying he was silent or he didn't want anything revealed to anyone else but the interviewer.
wow xxmyakuxx thats pretty sad. i just wanna hug lil kyo n tell him everything is ok. if uve got the clip still we need 2 get in touch lol im trying 2 build up my diru clips atm but i cant dload too many :( neways the song is really sad but i like the way it sounds a lot
And it's my favorite Diru song ^,^ Lyrics are great. Yes, that's sad, but Kyo would kill you if you hug him.
@sakura chan
I feel about the same about the hugging... Sometimes I just think that, well... it´s the women that cause them (men generally) so much harm... esp Kyo it seems (eto...)... so I kind of really want to hold him tight just for a while to show him that there are women who are... of the ´healing kind´.
Haha, that sounds odd. Whatever.
Well, regardless, I will go out of my way to make sure nobody ever hurts Kyo again. I have my ways...
Kisaki actually said in a recent interview that the guy might have been him (he was rooming with kyo back then)... Though when the interviewer said 'REAAAALLY', he said, and I quote: "No, maybe not. But I think I know who did it."
...Kinda makes you wonder how many girlfriends Kyo had stolen...
Something about losing or stealing a girl? IDK the beat was kinda upbeat to be about something that sad. Well it's sad to me atleast.
This song is so sad... I can't find words... What I've heard it was Kisaki who stole the girl. He left La:Sadies or Kyo kicked him out of La:Sadies when Kyo found out. And then Toshiya started in the band but they changed name to Dir en grey. I think that the girl was REALLY stupid, I mean... who can leave Kyo for Kisaki? KISAKI?! And who can make Kyo so sad? I bet this still hunts him... I want to hug Kyo TT____TT But it was kinda good that she left him (don't be mad it was sad also and she was REALLY stupid!), because then Kisaki was replaced by Toshiya, and I mean.. Toshiya is like.. the bassking! And look how long they've been together, 10 years! GO DIR EN GREY!!
