After D’ERLANGER’s disbandment, Kyo formed Die In Cries, had a solo career (see Kyo), and then formed BUG. After TETSU’s departure from ZI:KILL, which he had joined right after the disbandment of D’ERLANGER, TETSU formed BODY alongside his ex. D’ERLANGER bandmate CIPHER, and then the two of them later joined up with ex. ZI:KILL, Seiichi to form a new group, CRAZE. SEELA, D’ERLANGER’s bassist, formed Fix with ex. MAZERAN, Shoji, before later participating in Atomic ZaZa with fellow ex. Fix member and vocalist Tezya, before finally joining No Stars Innovation and departing from that band some years later in early 2006.
In December 2006 D’ERLANGER announced their reformation, and since 2007, they’ve been active again with many new albums: "LAZZARO" (2007) being the first of many that they have put out since their revival. They have been active since then and are releasing music to this day.
SAD SONG
D'erlanger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
「失われた時間は、もう二度と戻らない?
翼の折れた天使は、何処へ帰るの?」
狂ったように、幻覚のマイム踊る
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 帰らない時間の中で
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 深く重く 響いている
夢を抱きしめ 只一人眠りにつく
やがて夜は 全て のみ込んでいく
静寂の中 音を 1つもたてずに
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 帰らない瞬間の中で
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 深く重く響いている
白い DRESS を縫い 赤い ROUGE をひいた
涙の雨の中でそっとつぶやいた...
Ah. 涙が枯るまで いつまでも見つめてて
重ね合った口唇 今も忘れない...
問いかけていた 鏡の中の自分に
「失われた時間は、もう二度と戻らない?
翼の折れた天使は、何処へ帰るの?」
狂ったように、幻覚のマイム踊る
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 帰らない時間の中で
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 深く重く
白い DRESS を縫い 赤い ROUGE をひいた
涙の雨の中でそっとつぶやいた...
Ah. 涙が枯るまで いつまでも見つめてて
重ね合った口唇 今も忘れない...
白い DRESS を縫い 赤い ROUGE をひいた
涙の雨の中でそっとつぶやいた...
The lyrics of D'erlanger's song "Sad Song" express feelings of loss, confusion, and sadness. The singer appears to be speaking to himself in a mirror, questioning the irreversible nature of time and the fate of a fallen angel with broken wings. The verse "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU" suggests a sense of loneliness and isolation. The second verse describes a serene garden at moonlight, where the singer dreams alone, engulfed by the silence of the night. The chorus repeats the phrase "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU", now emphasizing the heaviness and resonance of the lost moments and lost chances. The third verse speaks of sewing a white dress and painting red rouge, in the midst of a rain of tears, whispering words of love and eternal longing. The song ends by repeating the same question from the beginning, but the answer remains unknown.
Overall, "Sad Song" is a poignant meditation on the nature of time, love, and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world that is both beautiful and tragic, where dreams and memories intertwine in a melancholic dance. The use of repetition and contrasting imagery creates a sense of depth and complexity, inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences of love and longing.
