Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many hangings under the red moon "..."
How deep will it sink inside eating skin that doesn't match?
The snake makes way through the sheets and goes inside the uterus.
It can seem like a someiyoshino; a cherry blossom petal, that dances sadly.
Don't you remember?
Color of faint... the night begins and people start to awe.
Color of pomegranate... sting with the prick and disappear far away.
How many secret hangings of the premature baby tonight under the red moon "..."
Bloody Baby & Sacrifice
Don't you remember?
Color of Golden yellow... want to be the spider that stings.
Color of tears... remembering the memories.
Color of faint... the night begins and people start to awe.
Color of pomegranate... sting with the prick and disappear far away.
The song "Obscure" by Dir en grey is a dark and disturbing portrayal of violence and death. The song begins with a haunting question of how many people have been hanged under the red moon. The lyrics suggest that the violence is not just physical but also psychological as it talks about something eating skin that doesn't match, which could also be a metaphor for feeling uncomfortable in one's own skin. The lines about the snake making its way inside the uterus could be interpreted as a symbol of violation and intrusion, making the song overall quite unsettling.
The chorus of the song talks about various colors, which could represent different emotions or experiences. The color of faint could refer to fear, while the color of pomegranate could symbolize pain or being pricked by something sharp. The repetition of the phrase "don't you remember?" throughout the song adds to the sense of confusion and unease as if the singer is struggling to recall what has happened or is happening to them.
Overall, "Obscure" is a disturbing and thought-provoking song that explores themes of violence and discomfort. The lyrics are open to interpretation and can be seen as a critique of societal norms and expectations.
