9GOATS BLACK OUT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
garasu no hane de yugamu koe de
tayori nakumo iki teyukuto
ima kimi ni chikau yo inori wo kome te
kimi ni konai ashita e
awa nai jikan gadoredake fuan nisaseta
yubisaki ga namida ni fureru
kanjou sae keshi te kyori wo oita
nanigena i somuki uma ranaimama heikou de
utoma shiku omou hodo imi wo kanji ta
sono te haitsuno nichi karaka komaku kawa tteita
The Japanese lyrics of the 9GOATS BLACK OUT's song "sink in" describe a person searching for words to say to someone they care about who is now falling asleep. With a broken voice, they try to express themselves through distorted sounds made by glass wings as they try to convey their feelings to the sleeping person they are holding. The singer of the song acknowledges that they are sometimes unreliable, and that they are currently holding onto the person they care about as if that is their only support. The singer tells them that they swear to hold onto their prayers until they can be together again tomorrow.
The lyrics of the song have a melancholic mood to them, as the singer speaks about their feelings of anxiety and the fragility of their relationship. The repetition of the phrase "kimi ni" emphasizes the focus on the other person and their connection. The song addresses themes of distance and uncertainty, but there is still a sense of hope and dedication as the singer promises to be there for the other person.

I always find myself coming back and listing to 9Goats
even when my taste in music changes. I found 9Goats
about 5 years ago, and to this day they are one of my
favorite band. I miss them so much. I use to always look
forward to them releasing new pv's, singles, and albums,
Ryo's new band Hollowgram is okay, and so is Sukekiyo
(The band Uta is now in.), but it's just not the same.
I miss when Ryo, Hati, and Uta, created music together.
Okay, enough of me rambling.

Nemuri he to ochi te yuku kimi ni kotoba o sagasu

Awa nai jikan ga dore dake fuan ni sa se ta
Yubisaki ga namida ni fureru

Haru o matsu moji

It's 2022 and I'll always come back for this band. I'm a vk jrock fan since my 16 and I'm now 30 years old. You guys are on my top 5 vk bands of all time, and it includes deg, d, versailles and malice mizer. Thank you so much for being the ost of my life.
