The Final (English)

Dir En Grey

解けてしまう意図を見つめ
文字に出来ない左手です
血を流す度に生きてる理由
見出す言葉が鮮やかで

手の中には愛すべき人さえも
華々しく散って
手の中には生きた意味刻んでも
虚しき華と知る
The final
Ah

一つ二つと増え続ける
何故に笑えない餌となる?

深き獄の心決して戻れはしない
明日を触れない自虐的敗北者
Suicide is the proof of life

手の中には愛すべき人さえも
華々しく散って
手の中には生きた意味刻んでも
虚しき華と散る

So I can't live, so I can't live
そう無くしたモノは
So I can't live, so I can't live
もう産まれない ah
So I can't live, so I can't live
生きてる証さえ
So I can't live, so I can't live
求められない歌

Let's put an end the final

未遂の蕾 咲かせよう

    I've heard this so many times, and I still like it. Just not as much as I used to. It's sad, and also hopeful.

    Just one thing though: (Cent-J's translation) says "why do I become the humorless feed"? I don't quite understand it. Feed for what?

    one of my favorite songs...i love this song and the lyrics just add to its greatness... "The intention is clear, I stare… with this left hand, unable to be worded Every time I bleed, there lies the reason to live… And I discover words being so vivid and bright" ...

    I love this song so much! Its hard to have a favorite from Dir en grey, but this song is right at the top of my list.

    The only thing, is that the last line is translated wrong. its not "Let’s blood flowers of attempted suicide..." Its "Let's bloom flowers of attempted suicide."

    And that is taken straight from the lyric book

    This is definantly THE defining song of Withering to Death imho. Kyo's voice tends to almost overflow with emotion. My interpretation is even when things in life have gotten to the point of attempted suicide from losing loved ones and seeing all the horrible things around you, like the "Flowers" Kyo refers to at the end, life can bloom and begin anew if your willing to work for it. "The Final" to me means the final time he'd try to take his life and to try and make life worth living again.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Album art
No Surprises
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
