Cage
DIR EN GREY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

シビレを切らしてる
僕はマゾの血をひき
サドの君を待つ
出来れば毒の baiser で

悲嘆故に美徳見えず
君は最後の mother で
記憶埋めて気付かれぬように
最初の mother

時計は左回りでも
犯した罪は変えれず
最初で最後の理解者 焼き付けて

嫌がる僕を見て
強くそして優しく
無理矢理の決断
決して君には言えない

皮のキシム音が痛い
傷を深めてゆこう
嫉妬深い君は いつでも
冷血なの?

幼い頃の虐待がね
今でも忘れずにいたい
何故 mother はいないの
教えてよ oh

Ah いつかはやさしさに気付いて
聖母なる「ゆりかご」の中で

悲痛故に前が見えず
僕の最後の mother で
せめて君に気付かれぬように
最初の mother

時計は左回りでも
犯した罪は変えれず
最初で最後の理解者 壊した
僕には優し過ぎたのかなあ?
昔のトラウマを映し
最後の君まで壊した僕はサド?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cage" by DIR EN GREY explore themes of sadomasochism, abuse, and emotional turmoil. The singer positions themselves as a masochist waiting for their sadistic partner, hoping for a poisonous kiss that will match their pain. They cannot see virtue in their suffering, and the person they address as "you" represents both a final mother figure and the possibility of a sadistic, jealous lover.


The song mentions the cycle of abuse and trauma, as well as the inability to escape or change past mistakes, compared to a clock that turns counterclockwise. The singer's desperation and dependence on their partner is emphasized through the line "I can never tell you" - their fear of being alone or judged for their desires makes them willing to accept whatever aggression is necessary. They also question their own role in the relationship, wondering if their behavior is a result of childhood trauma or if they have become sadistic themselves.


Overall, "Cage" portrays a complex and intense relationship dynamic and touches on themes of violence, codependency, and personal introspection.


Line by Line Meaning

シビレを切らしてる
Growing impatient, I draw from the masochistic blood inside me, waiting for you, my sadistic lover, with the hope to receive your poisonous kiss.


悲嘆故に美徳見えず
Your virtue is overshadowed by your grief; you are the only mother figure for me, burying memories deep enough to evade recognition, like my first mother.


時計は左回りでも
Though the clock goes counterclockwise, I can never change the sins I've committed, they're burned into the understanding of my first and final confidant.


嫌がる僕を見て
Looking at me, full of resistance, choosing decisively with a forced but gentle touch, a decision that I can never permit myself to reveal.


幼い頃の虐待がね
The childhood violence inflicted upon me is something that I cannot forget, like why is it that my mother isn't here anymore? Oh, please tell me.


Ah いつかはやさしさに気付いて
Someday, you'll realize the kindness within the holy embrace of a cradle, like Mother Mary.


悲痛故に前が見えず
Your relief is blurred by grief, my last mother, at least let me go unnoticed by you, like my first mother.


最初で最後の理解者 壊した
Perhaps I was just too gentle; I projected my old trauma and destroyed the only person who understands me, at least they were the first and last.


嫉妬深い君は いつでも 冷血なの?
You're always so jealous, are you really that heartless?


決して君には言えない
I can never say it to you.


傷を深めてゆこう
Let's deepen our wounds.


僕には優し過ぎたのかなあ? 昔のトラウマを映し 最後の君まで壊した僕はサド?
Was I too kind to myself? Did I reflect on the traumas from the past? Did I become the sadistic one who ruined you? At least, my last lover?

シビレを切らしてる 僕はマゾの血をひき サドの君を待つ
出来れば 毒のbaiserで
悲嘆故に美徳見えず 君は最後のMOTHERで
記憶埋めて気付かれぬように 最初のMOTHER
時計は左回りでも 犯した罪は変えれず
最初で最後の理解者 焼き付けて

嫌がる僕を見て 強くそして優しく無理矢理の決断
決して君には言えない
皮のキシム音が痛い 傷を深めてゆこう
嫉妬深い君は いつでも冷血なの?
幼い頃の虐待がね 今でも忘れずにいたい
なぜMOTHERはいないの 教えてよ

いつかはやさしさに気付いて 聖母なる“ゆりかご"の中で

非嘆故に前が見えず 僕の最後のMOTHERで
せめて君に気付かれぬように 最初のMOTHER
時計は左回りでも 犯した罪は変えれず
最初で最後の理解者 壊した
僕には優し過ぎたのかなあ? 昔のトラウマを映し
最後の君まで壊した僕はサド?

As a descendant from masochists, I'm all out of numbness. I wait for you, the sadist
If possible with a poisonous kiss
Because of my sorrow, I cannot see virtue, just like the end of you
I bury the memories so you won't notice, just like the beginning
Even if the clock runs counterclockwise I cannot undo the sins I've committed
The first and last person to understand me burns

You look at me with disgust, strong and gentle. The decision I was forced into
is something I can never tell you.
The squealing sound of leather hurts me, let's deepen the wounds
Is your jealousy always this cold-blooded?
I want to remember the abuse from my childhood, even now.
Tell me why Mother isn't around.

Someday I'll become aware of kindness inside the "cradle" that became my mother.

Because of my sorrow, I cannot look forward, just like the end of me
At least so you won't notice, just like the beginning.
Even if the clock runs counterclockwise I cannot undo the sins I've committed
The first and last person to understand me broke

Were you too kind to me, I wonder? I reflect on my old trauma
Am I a sadist for breaking the last of you?
