Mesmerized by those eyes with bugs crawling on them, my breathing stops
My heart calms itself
The refreshing sun mixes in with sound of the rain

My slashed heart dances, and I question in vain
The white voice, the leaking of the breath in the sun

The obscene exposure of the wound
Disappears into nothing, the wind of dogma
Your melting heart

The dark morning, echoing goodbye

My slashed heart dances, and I question in vain
I just want to be alone right now

A single season of spring, even the tearful neck and you crawling the earth

Love me

Abandon hope

    General Comment:Well, I'm a year late on the discussion here, but eh, what the hell. I honestly don't understand why some of you guys think that Kyo's screaming messes up his voice. Did you not hear the other ~3:25 of the song before the screaming? His singing voice is fine, if not more developed than before.

    Besides, those screams at the end of the song have always stood out to me as the climax of the entire album. In my opinion, the general theme of "Uroboros" is reincarnation in a sense (seeings as that's what "Uroboros" means); wanting the chance to start over so one can change and repair the life they have.

    To me, those screams are the horrible realization that life cannot be repeated and nothing can be undone. The screams are the mixed emotions Kyo (or I guess "the speaker") feels when he has to force himself to accept this defeating reality. Hence, the following line, which is also the last one, being "Abandon Hope." On top of that, the next and technically final song is called "Inconvienent Ideal."

    Well, that's my opinion on the whole thing. Enjoy, anyone who may read this.

    General Comment:Ok, before I say this, nobody attack me and call me racist, whatever.

    I think this is about pearl harbor and the u.s.'s reaction to it.

    In the vid there is screens showing planes dropping bombs, then it shows nuclear/atomic explosions.
    I think he is saying that the U.S. over-reacted, they blew up a harbor, we decimated two cities.

    Song Meaning:"A single season of spring, even the tearful neck and you crawling the earth " in spring new flowers grow. at graves people cry. dead people push up flowers. i think he is saying....."a single season of spring" he may only visit the persons grave in spring, once a year or this is his first time and last time (he may feel regret).he cryed for a long time "tearful neck"."crawling the earth" the flowers on the grave that were brought by the coming of spring were made by the person in the grave. the grave could have been there for sometime.you can say the dead is "crawling the earth" because in a way a dead person is great fertilizer.

    General Comment:here are more accurate lyrics. if you don't believe or try to say i'm wrong, listen to the song carefully whilst reading the lyrics:

    Mesmerised by those eyes, those bug eating eyes
    My breathing just stops I calm my heart and it just sheds a tear
    The bright and refreshing sunlight
    Mixes itself round and round along with the sound of the rain

    My torn out heart let it dance now, I question the emptiness
    The white voices, the leaking of my breath In The Sun

    The obscene exposure of the wound
    Becomes nothing like Dogmas own wind
    Youre now melting, youre heart is melting

    In the dark morning, I hear you whisper sayounara

    My torn out heart, let it dance now. I question the emptiness
    Right now I wanna be all alone

    Its the season of spring, weeping eyes cry tears
    Your neck-less body crawls, cant save you now

    Love Me
    Abandon Hope

    General Comment:Seia(i)NoLoop and dozedgreen, THANK YOU. I don't mean for agreeing with me or anything along those lines, but for actually THINKING when trying to interpret the song unlike some of the people that were posting earlier... I really appreciate that there are still intelligent people on the internet...

    And I like your interpretations, I really do. But personally, I see it as more of a religious dogma and the psychological need of many to believe in something fake like that...

    But serious cyber five to everyone posting maturely!

    General Comment:"Mesmerized by those eyes with bugs crawling on them" - I think the writer has just stumbled apon a deadbodie with bugs crawling on its eyes, like flys laying maggots in decaying bodies so they can have eat when there born. That would be a startleing sight and I think that is why the writer is "mezmerized".

    "my breathing stops" - lhe's holding his breathe, kind of like when your going down the highway and car window is down and the air is blowing in your face really hard and fast and you can't breathe. Yeah like that but because you just came across something you would never imaging coming cross in your life time.

    "My heart calms itself"
    So he's heart is pumping really fast because well, HE did just come across a deadbodie, So hes trying to calm himself down. You would be scared to if you came across a corpse on the very same day you just happen to decide to take a walk outside because the weather was nice.

    "My slashed heart dances, and I question in vain" - This makes me think that his heart is wounded by the sight, broken hearted because its tragic and he questions why this sort of thing happen to this person in "vain" because a popular disney ride reminds us "Dead Men Tell No Tells", unless you can get it back to a CSI lab.


    "The white voice, the leaking of the breath in the sun" - This right here is personification of the sun.
    The sun is a person, and its leaking breath bscause its talking, it is the white voice. Fluorecent lamps, White LEDs, and the midday sun cast "white" light. So we also know that it is midday.



    "The obscene exposure of the wound" - It could be on the dead/dying body that the writer has found, the one that caused whoever that is dying to die, I think it could be because of bleeding to death.


    "Disappears into nothing, " - Maybe he is just continueing to question himself so much that he forgets that there is a wound on the body, because he is not lost deep in his own thoughts.
    "the wind of dogma" - He might comeback from his own thoughts to again face the harsh reality, that this person is dead/dying. I guess just facing the harsh fact.

    "Your melting heart" Makes me believe the again that the dead/dying person is dead/dying because a wound to the heart, bleeding to death.

    "The dark morning, echoing goodbye" - It is a "dark morning" because he has come upon a tragdy, and its still all setting in, becoming apparent what happend.

    "My slashed heart dances, and I question in vain" - Just as I wrote before.

    "I just want to be alone right now" - he wants to be alone because it makes him think, why WE do this to eachother, ourselves, and also to our LOVED ONES. I ONLY SAY THIS BECAUSE One could see how this could also be about an ex lover/love because he brokes own heart and his/her lovers heart with maybe breaking up with that person or just cutting ties with a loved one.

    "A single season of spring," - Sort of tells us the setting and the last season, spring the victim well ever witness because he is dead/dying.

    "even the tearful neck and you crawling the earth" - The neck could be all that is left of the head so far because of the decaying process. Kind of gross when you think about it, but the bugs that where on the dead body ate it. So its in the stomaches of those bugs that crawl the earth, is the victim. So you could say he is crawling the earth.

    "Love Me" - Just kind of it teaches in the bible to love one another. Also like why do we hurt the ones we love. Like this qoute is fitting in understanding the line more. "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers."- Francois Fenelon

    "Abandon Hope" - I think Kyo is saying this because he feels that its just a waste of time of hoping for change in people because people will always hurt eachother even if they are family, lovers, or someone close.

    General Comment:Artwork = Deadbody/skeleton that looks like its decaying.

    Title = Dozed Green, Dozed would be to sleep, as in going to sleep, some writers use the word sleep to mean death, in this case the author is "dozing off", meaning he is in the process of going to sleep. So if we look it at symbolicly, it means that he (I think a soldier) is dying but he's dead yet.
    Also green reminds me of fungi, which helps clean up places by eating dead things so fungi could be eating/growing on a deadbody which kind of looks like it in the single artwork.

    Music Video = If you havnt seen the video yet look it up on youtube. The video shows scenes from the past, deadbodies, dying, war, just stuff that is horrible that we infflict upon eachother.

    Kyo is also known for his wordplay and kanji.
    So I could see how there would be two stories in this, one of someone experencing there very own death and/or someone whos stumbled on a dead bodie.
