Phoenix
A9 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

夢現つの摩天楼が 流れ落つる

影も踏まぬように 追いかけてた光
射す模様の寂しさに満ちて 追いかけた
焼べた炎の行き先さえ 知らぬまま
ひらり 揺らり
羽ばたく音に 落ちた痛みよ
ふわり 永遠に
続くお話を告げ
終わりの無い 夢を見てる
沙羅双樹の上
終わりの先 続く様に
ただ ただ 奏で
声も無く 羽も捥がれ
手を繋げてたい
君の居ない 明日は酷く
ただ ただ 祈れ
散りゆく様の儚さに 目を奪われた
夜に咲く花と同じ様に 燃やし尽くして
ひらり 揺らり
羽ばたく音に 落ちた痛みよ
ふわり 永遠に
続くお話を告げ
桜舞う 道の先の
日々待ち焦がれて
脇目振らず かけて行こう
花 鳥 風 と
月照らす 夢は続く
鳥獣戯画まで
終わりの先 続く様に
ただ ただ 奏で
声も無く 羽も捥がれ
手を繋げてたい
君の居ない 明日は煉獄
ただ ただ 踊れ
さぁ 叫べ 九つを

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A9's song Phoenix describe a dream-like state of chasing after a light, following it through the desolate and lonely patterns of a setting sun. The singer expresses feelings of pain and longing for something that they cannot fully understand or grasp - perhaps a love that has been lost - but they are still hopeful for the future. The song continues with references to the beauty of blooming cherry blossoms and the playful imagery of animals and nature in a surrealistic world. However, there is an underlying sense of darkness and desperation, with the singer wishing to hold onto the hand of a loved one in the face of an uncertain and potentially terrifying future.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the journey of life, with its ups and downs, its moments of great joy and pain, and the constant pursuit of something greater. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and each listener can find their own meaning in the words.

May I just express my feelings for this comeback here?

Alice Nine, I have missed you so much first of all--
Secondly, I would love to applaud Nao's drum intro, with the later mix of the guitars.. oh how I've missed this.
I have got to say, it is so refreshing seeing them perform again. Their set up is still the same, and ugh..complete perfection.
Shou's stance is by far amazing. I too, like many others, were anticipating the removing of the mask..I don't understand as to why he didn't remove the mask..but it was still a very artistic asset of the video nonetheless.
Hiroko bias, I melted when Hiroto performed his guitar solo. He always expresses high energy in a hyped way when he performs, where other are more on the calm/cooler side. I love that about them all.

I am so proud of them, as always! Always will be number six even after the day I die. <3

Alice Nine was the first Jrock band that made me fall in love with visual kei when I was 15. 10 years later, I'm still an avid supporter of A9! I will always love them ❤️❤️❤️

Sophomore here when I stanned this incredible band! 🙌

@Aelariel

Discovered them in 9th grade and they've been my favorite band all these years. I know everyone says this band or that band "saved their lives" but Alice Nine honestly got me through my lowest points and I probably wouldn't be here today without them.
