kyusei o utau haigo ni shinjitsu o sosonokashite
shallow... musebu tami o mioroshite
draw... rakuen ha kizukareyou
mawaru mawaru mawaru doku ni … nibuku kishimu sono karada ga
hitotsu futatsu tsumiagatte... risou no e ha 'kankei wo'
yurari hai chiru sora e kiseki o negaeba
tozashita tsubomi, hana hiraku
asu wo ikiru koto no kanawanu anata e
sekai o kono te ni
i said's mawaru mawaru mawaru doku ni … nibuku kishimu sono karada ga
hitotsu futatsu tsumiagatte... risou no e ha 'kankei wo'
mawaru... ishiki... mawaru
akai chi no kayowanu mujou no hito ni ha
mienai 'jitsu shiki sekai'
boku ha kono gisei no ue ni tachi mezasou
sekai i kono te ni
I said's
The lyrics of DIAURA's song Dictator are quite cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to allude to the idea of a person in power who is willing to manipulate and deceive others in order to maintain their status. The opening lines, which roughly translate to "Under the white sun, I flapped my wings and planted the truth in the captive birds singing hymns," suggest a sense of control and manipulation over others. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "mawaru" (meaning "turn" or "rotate"), seems to emphasize the cyclical nature of power and the way in which those in control can perpetuate their reign through subtle shifts and manipulations.
The verse "akai chi no kayowanu mujou no hito ni ha / mienai 'jitsu shiki sekai'" (meaning "To the heartless people who are not afraid of shedding red blood / I'll show them the reality world that they can't see") implies a disconnect between those in power and the suffering of those beneath them. The lyrics seem to be calling for a shift in power, a movement towards a more idealistic world where the needs and desires of the people are prioritized over those of the ruling class.
Overall, Dictator seems to be a powerful commentary on the nature of power and control, and the way in which those in charge can manipulate and deceive in order to maintain their reign.
