Thorns coiled around the sun
Regret melts with the mixture of a sigh
I spit and laugh at the dreams I've seen enough of
The hearts of men eaten by loneliness grows cruelly

It melts into the layers of white
Undesired
The shattered truth means the opposite
Love to the smile

The gloomy morning has already died
It's going far away, unable to reach
I want to fall asleep in the innocent gentleness with the tears

Lying about being pregnant is so carefree
The drowning tears in the pool made by a razor, taste vaguely sweet

The gloomy tomorrow has already died
I hated myself for not being able to forgive the tears, the lies and the love
But I can't go back

It's going far away, unable to reach
I want to fall asleep in the innocent gentleness with the tears
It just echoes beyond the red sky in the background
The cries can not be... heard anymore

    General Comment:In all honesty I have no freaking clue what this song really means. Clearly it is sorrow wrapped up in a song, hence "conceived sorrow". Even when listening to the performance, one can sense the deep anguish of this song.

    This song has great meaning for me because I've witnessed this sorrow live. It was a gravely intense moment in which Kyo was singing and suddenly out of nowhere he just dropped the mic and walked away. To this day I still don't know what happened in NYC but it was strangely beautiful yet very sad. I felt moved. I don't need the translation to sense the deep sorrow of this song. But I do enjoy learning its meaning.

    General Comment:This song is speaking out against abortion if you watch the original music video and pay attention you will notice that everything about this song is saying abortion is evil it has nothing to do with the love of a girlfriend but killing an unborn child that you conceived only to lead to death and sorrow

    General Comment:everyone can relate to this song because of the general gut-wrenching pain that the actual musicality conveys, plus when you add the lyrics, its like T@T... you dont have to know every single freaking song to enjoy DEG, and you can never fully understand Kyo as a human being no matter how many of their stuff you buy/use/see. you would have to be him to fully understand. i believe this is just about the nicest way that one can respond to Keiko:Love. the beauty of a lyric is that people have different viewpoints when they look at it and will interpret it in a certain way and automatically relate to it. maybe you feel like you're the only one who can truly relate to it cuz ur all alone in ur misery? well you see it just as everyone else, prolly, and its because of such a wholesome loose interpretablity that is also a certain type of art form specially designed by Kyo.
    i love this song. its so sad it makes me wanna puke. like, my guts are gonna fall out they're being so convoluted.

    General Comment:Ok... I am english and I do not actually understand a word of Japanese which would be why I had looked up the translation... Before people do go on about how I cannot relate to/like foriegn bands I am just saying that I heard this song off of an album and Kyo sounded very passionate about what he is singing which therefor made me search up the translation... As I did with a lot of the songs... It is probably about his wife and child but people can interpret it anyway they want to, it does not mean that people are not allowed to relate to it if they have not lost a child or wife... That is kind of stupid. But anyway i do think that the song is very beautiful and speaks for many levels.

    General Comment:"I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy." -Nikki Giovanni

    Do I need to say more about that?

    General Comment:I LOVE THIS SONG!
    Now that thats out of the way. I love how Kyo writes one song about abortion and suddenly that means ALL of his songs are about abortion. Get over yourselves, he does have more to say than that people.

    Also.. i'd like to see these supposed interviews where Kyo talks about his "wife and child" dying. As far as i know that was a bunch of bullshit made up by some pathetic little weobo fan with way to much time on their hands.
    Of course.. that could be wrong.. so proof please?

    Thirdly even though many of you already said it i feel the need to say it as well. Just because someone hasnt experienced exactly what Kyo has written about doesnt mean they cant relate to the song. As others said, Kyo likes to use alot of wordplay on purpose. So its up for everyones own interpretation.
    Kinda like how glass skin sounds like a love song Kyo admits but its actually about enviremonetal issues and how we're destroying the earth blah blah.
    AND its kinda hard to know if you have went through exactly what Kyo has written about because well.. when does he ever talk about himself without lying?
    And when does he ever explain his lyrics? Just because you want to assume its about this supposed loss of this supposed child and wife doesnt mean thats what its about.

    Ive said my peace.

    General Comment:i hate people who say stupid shit like "KYO IS PRO LIFE LOLOL" when this translation is not only bad but the line about pregnancy is wrong.

    and obscure's meaning is, you know, obscure. hence the title.

    fucking idiots.

    General Comment:I'm sorry but Anyone that is acting like an Elitist is in serious need of a hobby.. Being a fan is about understanding the artist and his pain.. maybe many have not Lost lovers or children as he has however relating to him and his lyrics can also be about putting yourself into an emotional state like he is in and letting yourself be vulnerable to what he is Experiencing...

    General Comment:Alright, buddies. Just the same as "Obscure" this song is about abortion because Kyo is very Pro-Life.

    General Comment:This song touched me so much I began to cry like there was no tomorrow. I've been taking care of my little sister for years because our parents died, and only three months ago she was killed in a car accident. She was my best friends and I lost her in a split second. Conceived Sorrow is my most treasured songs by Dir en Grey.
