Suna no Wakusei
9mm Parabellum Bullet Lyrics

The lyrics of "Suna no Wakusei" by 9mm Parabellum Bullet depict a person who is guarding something they should have let go of, with their lips sealed and eyes averted. They did this to protect themselves, but ended up unable to help anyone, nor being helped themselves. They are bidding farewell to an angel who is dying, and wondering what God has in store for them next. The sadness is present, but there is time to grieve and leave the tears behind, by drawing a sketch on the desert sand that nobody will see, and not making anyone else suffer. They will destroy everything that they are scared of losing, even if it hurts, with their own hands, and face the sinking of their own ship hand in hand.

The lyrics speak of a person who is isolating themselves in order to protect their own interests, but becoming unable to connect with others or help anyone in the process. They are ultimately left alone to face their own mortality, wondering what comes next. However, they find the strength to destroy what they fear and face the difficulties with a partner, even smiling through it all. The song reflects on the human tendency to cling to things, even when it is not in our best interest, and the importance of being able to let go and move forward. The imagery of destruction and desertion highlights the feeling of hopelessness that sometimes comes with loss, but also the potential for renewal and growth.
