流転の塔
DIR EN GREY Lyrics

The lyrics to DIR EN GREY's song "流転の塔" (Ruten no Tou) speak of a wandering past that is reflected in the lingering echoes. The apostle, who stares at the reality of an irregular heartbeat, is surrounded by a cruel and endless sunlight. From the sensual synapses, thoughts flow and fall, while embracing an apple. The singer joins their eyes now, immersed in sensual fantasies and perhaps holding back tears, blocking out the sound of rain.

The chorus introduces the idea of Gods of Rapture and the vastness of the sky, emphasizing the relentless and cruel sunlight. The future, which echoes in the throat, cannot be turned back. The singer urges the listener to wake up and under the flag that flutters, they trace the condensation of the Dead Sea with their fingers and feel their chestbone cracking open. The lyrics then delve into a God Complex, wanting to get this, acknowledging it as a good day and questioning if they are the magnificent humanitarian who will sound the broken bell.

The song continues with imagery of reconstruction and the power of uplift. It questions the consequences of remaining silent, claiming that if one does not speak up, they will climb the ivy to the top and become like the explosive Tokarev of the land and all living beings. The lyrics then touch upon the birth of a new day, where one may transform into a vividly controversial insect. It questions if kindness that disrupts the order is arrogance. Ultimately, they hold hands with a lost flower and refuse to forget the wandering past, staring at the reality of irregular heartbeats and the relentless and cruel sunlight. The future echoes in the throat, unable to be turned back, urging the listener to wake up.
