How many hangings tonight under the red moon
How deep will it sink inside eating skin that doesn't match?
The snake maes way through the sheets and goes inside the uterus.
It can seem like a someivoshino a cherry blossom petal,
that dances sadly. The stain is the moon that's fullfilled,
and the vomiting at night begins. Don't you remember?
Colour of faint...the night begins and people start to awe
Colour of pomegranate...sting with the prick and disappear far away
How many secret hangings of the premature baby tonight under the red moon
Bloody Baby&Sacrifice
Don't you remember?
Colour of Golden yellow...want to be the spider that stings
Colour of tears...remembering the memories
Colour of faint...the night begins and people start to awe
Colour of pomegranate...sting with the prick and disappear far away
How deep will it sink inside eating skin that doesn't match?
The snake maes way through the sheets and goes inside the uterus.
It can seem like a someivoshino a cherry blossom petal,
that dances sadly. The stain is the moon that's fullfilled,
and the vomiting at night begins. Don't you remember?
Colour of faint...the night begins and people start to awe
Colour of pomegranate...sting with the prick and disappear far away
How many secret hangings of the premature baby tonight under the red moon
Bloody Baby&Sacrifice
Don't you remember?
Colour of Golden yellow...want to be the spider that stings
Colour of tears...remembering the memories
Colour of faint...the night begins and people start to awe
Colour of pomegranate...sting with the prick and disappear far away

It's about the original sin. Satan's Seed.
Fucking retards.
The snake in the womb. The blood red moon. The pomegranate fruit - fruit of the gods, forbidden fruit. Watch the uncut, so obvious from the priest in sutra papers.
But then to expect Americans to understand Japanese culture is like expecting an ant to understand a elephant. Impossible.
I can recommend to read Erich Fromm: The Anatomy of Destruction to understand this pehenomenon deeply.
You can find all the necrophil elements in Kyo's lyrics, the videos, in his (the band's) whole art.
In one of the earlier concert videos he prodly admitts that he loved the Sado-mazo porn which, in my opinion could be another proof of his sadistic-mazochistic-necrophil character.
With the words of Fromm:
"They have the passionate attraction to all that is dead, decayed, putrid, sickly; it is the passion to transform that which is alive into something unalive; to destroy for the sake of destruction; the exclusive interest in all that is purely mechanical. It is the passion to tear apart living structures."
Yes, this song is definately about abortion along with other songs but this apparent contradiction between "saving the innocent embrio" and the destruction elsewhere fits perfectly in the picture. The necrophilius worships only one kind of life besides the mechanical, dead things (remember the picture with the truncated woman whose body parts are re-connected mechanical). And this is the life in the womb. The life before life. In many cases the Land (Vaterland) symbolizes the womb. If you die for it it will bury you it will save you, cherish you forever like the mother's womb. The necrophilius wants to go back to the womb, his only answer to the challenges and antagonism of life is death and finally escape from the living world. If you watch it carefully you can see that this guy's passion "to save the innocent unborn" appears only in negative ways (destruction in every scene, never a hint for love of life) and if you put them together with the other songs where rape of the dead person, destruction, killing appear they can't really belive his passion for living things.
By the way it's unfortunately not an isolated pehenomenon, our civilization is an ideal terrain for breeding of such sadistic-mazochistic and the full-blown nechrophil character. And pehaps we should be happy if somebody like this guy expresses his passion in art, rather than other ways. Hopefully.
Abortions in the "olden days" were done through herbs and semi poisonous teas by majority. Only a whore or prostitute would be beaten as a means of an "abortion" usually by the irate lover or a member of said family.
For best results watch the uncut PV.
I also see that no one mentioned the dead bodies hanging around the band. Why were they there? here are my two opinions on that. One- it looks freaking awesome!!! Two- suicide due to the guilt of having an abortion. like the mothers and fathers could not handle to look at themselfs after what they had done and killed themselfs...... maybe it sounds stupid Idk these are just my opinions.
I also decided that I am going to marry kyo!!! He is the new love of my life!!! I also hope that he does not think of me falling madly in love with him and wanting to do more than just kiss him is abusing sex XD!!! Call me Kyo!!!! X~O~X~O~X
Compared to some of the OLD true metal head videos, Obscure is a pussy video.
The video is one of the best music videos ever, period; the symbollism is genius. I think most of the analyzation has been covered here, but I would like to point out the... naked robot woman with no limbs? You know what I mean.
That woman represents a life without meaning, as a relation to a mother who wants to abort her child. The woman and the unborn fetus are parallels, as are the mother of the unborn child and the gas-mask scientist in the PV. The scientist dictates the womans actions via a remote control, showing the woman has no control over her actions, or more directly, what happens to her. Along with the inability to think for herself, the woman also has her limbs severed, showing that her life is ultimately pointless. The life of a soon-to-be-aborted fetus runs in practically the same way; what happens to the baby is out of its control, and its existence is seemingly pointless altogether.
Just my opinion though.
"How could you do that to your child."
"How would you feel if you died the same?"
"Don't you remember the suffering you went through?"
"If you didn't want a child, why have sex?"
It's a beautiful song, and I believe everyone should listen to it at least once. Make them think with their minds first.
