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.

Subliminal
D'espairsRay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
お前の躯に静かに入り込むニルヴァーナ
催眠状態 現実ち幻覚のイマジネーション
深く混ざり合うインプラントされた黒く歪む記憶
理性の底に潜む君は妖美にまどろむ
本性は快楽のカタマリなのさ
Everybody! singing dance ! 混ざり合う君の中で…
Somebody let me down ! 快楽に溺れながら…
You're my slave until die! ヴィルスと俺が笑う…
I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me...
I am confusing...
Looking to your dark... confusing what the real...
You felt in despair... those should believe were found...
剥き出す神経 刺激剥奪したその躯
脳が腐るまでサブリミナルしよう深く赤い鼓動を
賛美の雨に揺らぐ君の中に眠っている
本性は欲望のカタマリなのさ
Everybody! singing dance ! 混ざり合う君の中で…
Somebody let me down ! 快楽に溺れながら…
You're my slave until die! ヴィルスと俺が笑う…
Everybody! singing dance ! with one voice ! lalala...
The lyrics of D'espairsRay's song Subliminal describe the process of programming the listener's consciousness through a combination of altered states of consciousness and implanted memories. The chorus encourages the listener to "sing and dance" as they become lost in their own imagination, indulging in dark desires and pleasures. The singer describes the listener as his "slave until die" and mocks them, along with a virus that is present in their mind, as they revel in their own subliminal programming. The second verse continues this theme, describing the listener as being in a state of confusion and despair, unable to distinguish reality from imagination as they surrender to their own dark impulses. The bridge contrasts the darkness of the previous verses with an image of the listener sleeping peacefully in the rain of praise, their true nature being a mass of desire.
The song presents a complex and dark exploration of the power of subconscious programming, depicting a world in which the listener is not in control of their own impulses or desires. The lyrics also suggest a contrast between an idealized image of oneself and the darker reality underlying one's desires.
