Vinushka
I exchange thoughts with the clouds
I hold my breath
Ahh, it's just hard shell you can't see
Is that where the bottom is? The shadow burns me
Ahh, I just want to keep forgetting
Slip your desires into the ants' nest
Come now, all you have to do now is be reborn again
Let tomorrow sleep and peacefulness will turn to you
Free yourself and go with your razor sharp emotions
Even the twisted flow is the proof that you're alive
I invite the tearfully-indulging sorrow
The inculated Dogra Magra
The pain of the mark and the one and only personality
And those colorful eyes all decorated I don't want them anymore
Is hypocrisy going to come and take it all away?
The lonely red stage at night
I dedicate the following to the aspiring leading actor
That's where the truth is
The small corner of my un-cheatable heart says "I still want to be here"
Who can't we forgive?
I let them hear my cold voice
And I swear
I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell
I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?
"I've stared at the strong shining moon long enough to be bored
Can't even turn myself into a werewolf
But just enough to become crazy by the darkness
I want to suck the neck
The emptiness of the remains
I won't let you sleep
At the age where you just want attention... tonight, I might go crazy for you"
Everyone wants to reach out their hand and grab happiness
But they just end up becoming the monster that lies deep in darkness
The end has already come to life
It will take form at zero and will crawl back into the uterus and rot
Every time this happens, your faces crumble
No one wants to talk about the truth that hurts the ear
The suppressed minds
Compensate the sins and let life be gone
The emptiness of the antithesis
Becomes the choking and crying land
Bury the bones in the common land immersed in thesis
Be burdened by depression
The gritty tsunami takes me away and I smile with bitter tears
Couldn't understand the value of things
The hanging of the necks at the 13 stairs
Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands
That mixes in with sissy thoughts and hurts others
Seeing you like this, it's just too sad
Splash of blood
Squashing basic instincts
Talk about death
I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell
I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?
No one wants to talk about the truth that hurts the ear
The suppressed minds
Compensate the sins, and let life be gone
Is it a sin for me to live because I am evil?
I exchange thoughts with the clouds
I hold my breath
Ahh, it's just hard shell you can't see
Is that where the bottom is? The shadow burns me
Ahh, I just want to keep forgetting
Slip your desires into the ants' nest
Come now, all you have to do now is be reborn again
Let tomorrow sleep and peacefulness will turn to you
Free yourself and go with your razor sharp emotions
Even the twisted flow is the proof that you're alive
I invite the tearfully-indulging sorrow

"Everyone wants to reach out their hand and grab happiness
But they just end up becoming the monster that lies deep in darkness"
i remember how everybody reached out at the concerts... during "the final" we all joined hands **nyc wednesday 2009 baby :3** and reached out to the stage... and i think there is nothing in the world that was a greater happiness than when they played akuro no oka...
but then... i can only speak from personal experience, how deg affected myself and the lives of those closest to me. i am pretty much isolated from the people who used to be my friends before i became a DEG fan. I don't have a place in that world anymore, although to be honest I never really did. Sometimes, DEG songs awake the darkest moments inside of me...
"Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands
That mixes in with sissy thoughts and hurts others
Seeing you like this, it's just too sad"
I made so many friends through dir en grey. But then again, so many people i don't like too... a lot of the fans are vicious and backstabbing. every rose has its thorns, to quote guns n roses...
"The small corner of my un-cheatable heart says "I still want to be here"
Who can't we forgive?
I let them hear my cold voice
And I swear
I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell
I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?"
To me it feels as if he is promising to always put his everything into his music, but at the same time he is wondering what the meaning of his existence is, will his music be remembered after he's gone? a lot of people talk like, oh DEG are gonna be over, and lets face it, there will come a day and time when dir en grey will be music history **please not for another fifty years xD**
"Is it a sin for me to live because I am evil? "
that is the line that really interests me, but i am not sure how it applies just yet...
I'm working on a piano arrangement of Vinushka xD It's challenging, but I have the whole intro (first minute) down.
"The lonely red stage at night
I dedicate the following to the aspiring leading actor
That's where the truth is"
Clearly he said things referent to finding the truth in the stage because that's where he can be himself. He's not talking about an actor like the ones in the movies, but a person who express himself/herself in a stage, as he does.
"Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands"
This makes me think of an audience, the fans in a concert.
"I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell
I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?"
He is saying he is going to live with his songs and his performances, that he uses his body to fully express his feelings and maybe he feels like he is in the "limbo", not heaven, nor hell. that could be like... he doesn't know where he is gonna belong to once he's dead. On the second sentence he might be talking about self mutilation, maybe to leave a mark, a phisical proof of his feelings so the wind doesn't carry them away, I think that's refering to his voice singning but words are blown by the wind and fade away.
That's all I can do today, gotta go to work.
Basically I don't understand the whole song, but with all reference to my history lessons and the video:
The emptiness of the antithesis

Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands

Seeing you like this, it's just too sad

Talk about death
I will live with my work I scream with this body of flesh that separates heaven and hell
I carve the sins What will be the proof of my existence if it disappears with the wind?
No one wants to talk about the truth that hurts the ear
The suppressed minds
Compensate the sins, and let life be gone
Is it a sin for me to live because I am evil?

Ok so in Japan the government officially conceals a lot of the truth about WWII. To my knowledge they portray themselves as the absolute victims, being bullied by the Allies and all - correct me if I am wrong.
What actually happened was that the military got hold of the government, who weren't able to suppress the army's increasing influence over the entire nation. throw in a wall street crash, protectionist policies of other nations, and the pride of the japanese - we get a rising sun out to conquer asia, and then the rest of the world.
That's why (No one wants to talk about the truth that hurts the ear
The suppressed minds)
Now I'm Singaporean and perhaps I am biased, but I often hear stories about how the Japanese ill-treat civilians from whatever country they conquered. (we were a Brit colony, the English people made us surrender, they were too busy fending the Nazis off their land anyway) The Japanese occupation is always portrayed as a period of pain and suffering for us, where people are tortured, raped, and basically bullied very badly. Anybody heard of Sook Ching? A massacre indeed.
And thus the reference to sinning and being evil.
Still, there's much controversy over whether it was appropriate for the Allies to drop two atomic (refer to entire chunk of imagery that refers to the dropping of the bombs)on Japan. If I am not mistaken, radiation still plagues Nagasaki and Hiroshima up till today. The idea is that the younger generation weren't the ones who committed the "sins"; yet retribution befalls upon them.
That should explain (Is it a sin for me to live because I am evil? )
Also that line alone suggests that Dir en Grey, as they are Japanese themselves, admit that they weren't right to go around bullying China and the Southeast Asian nations.
Hmm and one last part
(Seeing people becoming friendly while clapping hands)
I think this refers to the Allies celebrating over the successful dropping of Little Boy and Fat Man.
if i read more out of this, I'll post them later.
Dir en grey is awesome.
I think you'll find that the music video highly supports your claims, that is if you haven't seen it already. The music video, however, seems to focus on being the victims, at least in terms of the atom bombs.
This song seems to be about viewing different contridictions within oneself and trying, though not well, to make an interpertation of them. Self-reflection is often insanely difficult.
I do not know if this is the point Kyo is trying to get across but to me, it is a song about, people who waste their life with going along with society. For those who want to give up on life, for being too scared to be themselves.
but in the section of the song where kyo says
"The inculated Dogra Magra
The pain of the mark and the one and only personality
And those colorful eyes all decorated I don't want them anymore
Is hypocrisy going to come and take it all away?
The lonely red stage at night

Was he talking about the fans that won't listen to dri en grey anymore because their style had changed?
I don't know, but that's what I got out of it
I think it's sad how people who call themselves true fans wont listen to them anymore because they dont look the same way they did five years ago
thats retarded
their lyrics and music are still absolutely amazing, and it blows my mind every time i listen to a song
to those fans who don't like dir en grey now because how they look and their music style
you were never a true fan to begin with
