The band’s foundation is built upon the expression of despair and hope. They describe their own music as “hard, electronic rock”, which incoporates and is influenced by several genres including but not limited to: industrial, metal, electronic, gothic rock, punk, and pop. Most songs have industrial and electronic based keyboards and heavy metal guitars and influences from pop music.
As of 2011, as well as internationally touring on several occasions, the quartet has released four studio albums, two best-of compilations, two EP's, 7 DVD's, 5 demo tapes and 14 singles. Due to vocalist HIZUMI’s ongoing throat condition, the band was on hiatus for six months. He planned to return once his condition would have been improved but in June 2011 D'espairsRay made the announcement that they had mutually decided to disband because HIZUMI'S condition was not improving.

Dears
D'espairsRay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another side of the FACE...幻想は深みで泣いている
孤独に...
全てを拒み塞がずに今こそ焔に満ちためを開け...
闇を裂いて君よ風になれ聞こえるか？時の声が翔ぬける
絶望だけが浮かぶ空に創造さえ眼を伏せて光が見えずに...
暗闇で...
不安に立ち塞がれても逃げ場所求める術を掻き消して...
遥か彼方見える理想へと磨かれた君が望むスピードで
たとえ明日が覚めた世界でも 無いくせないモノを其処に掲げてゆけ...
瞼遮れば其処は闇に染まる
時に流されて己を見失う 何故自由を殺した？
さぁどこまでもゆける...
そう答えなどは無い...
今...闇を裂いて君よ風になれ 聞こえるか？時の声が翔ぬける
迷いながら絶えず突き抜けて 閉ざされた“鍵”を開く真実を...
風のように流れて
君だけが描く軌跡を
放て...“ミチ”の向こうへ...
Look for it...
The lyrics to D'espairsRay's song Dears are quite complex and emotional, showcasing the band's unique blend of rock and electronic music. The song seems to be discussing the struggle of navigating the complexities of life. The first verse talks about feeling lost and crying in the depths of a fantasy world. The second verse discusses the feeling of being alone but encourages the listener to move forward and open up to flames.
The chorus is the most uplifting part of the song, talking about breaking through the darkness and becoming one with the wind. It encourages the listener to push past their doubts and fears and continue to strive for their desires, even if it means holding onto intangible things. The bridge of the song offers a great deal of introspection, questioning why freedom can be so elusive and why we let ourselves get lost in the flow of time. The final verse encourages the listener to continue their journey despite not having all the answers, and to embrace the ever-changing and uncertain path before them.
In summary, D'espairsRay's Dears is a song that speaks to the complex emotions that we all face in our lives, encouraging us to keep moving forward even when it seems like all hope is lost.

I seen these dudes live and they put on a hell of great show. They freaked me out when they first came out on stage. I didn't know what I was looking at, dudes or chicks, but once they started playing I didn't care hahaha!
