Distorted Pain
電気式華憐音楽集団 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
偽善と嘘に守られてた？
痛みをかわす度に何か
無くすの知らないふりをして
心を閉ざされてるの？
それとも私閉ざしているの？
貴方に伏せた想い無くしてしまえば
良いのに 消えない 願う程に溢れて
壊れてしまう程に虚空を求めて
此処から消えたい 貴方想う心と
それでも私は生かされてく
疑心が肥大してく過去の
傷跡幾度と思い出す
何時まで其処に立ち戻るの？
何度も何度も問い掛けて
無限に繋がって往く
呪縛の連鎖 今断ち切れ
静かな夜に迷い何かを叫んで
貴方の中には響かないと知っても
此処から少し前に進んで歩けば
何かが変われる そんな風にイキタイ！
小さな鼓動が時を刻む
破滅に向かう事に少しの希望と
憧れ抱いて悲劇めいた少女は
あの時貴方がくれた一言だけを
大事にしてたと思い出してイキテク！
静かな夜に迷い何かを叫んで
貴方の中には響かないと知っても
此処から少し前に進んで歩けば
何かが変われる そんな風にイキタイ！
小さな鼓動が時を刻む
The lyrics to 電気式華憐音楽集団's song Distorted pain express the feelings of pain, isolation and confusion that come with a relationship that has gone sour. The opening lines suggest that the singer is reflecting on when things started to go wrong and whether they were blinded by the other person's false representations of themselves. They also acknowledge their own tendency to pretend that nothing is wrong whenever the pain becomes too much to bear.
The second stanza questions whether the singer's heart has been closed off by the other person or if they themselves have closed themselves off. The third stanza expresses the singer's desire to forget their feelings for the other person, but their emotions are too overwhelming to ignore. They feel like they are breaking apart as they seek escape in the void of emptiness. Despite everything, they still want to disappear with the other person's heart in mind.
The fourth stanza dwells on the past, with the singer wondering how long they will remain trapped in their negative memories. They ask the same questions repeatedly, suggesting they are stuck in a cycle of pain and doubt. The fifth stanza encourages them to break free from the curse that binds them and move forward. The sixth stanza expresses their hope that something will change if they take a step forward and their determination to live fully despite everything.
Overall, the song is a poignant expression of the emotional turmoil that comes with a relationship breakdown. It touches upon themes of betrayal, pain, isolation, and the struggle to move on.
