Diabolos
DIR EN GREY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
振り返る斑な灰 時に消え
誰かの生き方を歩き
鵜呑みに飲み込んだ幻想
見せられないまま
風化を辿る狭い扉
Blue Velvet
君は死の海を渡り
Blue Velvet
綺麗だから触れれば触れるほど
傷は微笑みさえ奪う
絶景に群がる不可抗力に終わる
知っていただろ?
「この世界は残酷だ」
死に物狂い奪い合う日々
我が物顔
馴れ合い差し出したのは何?
夢が覚めない
迷う鸚鵡を抱いて乾涸びる風に佇む
眠い愛に殺されそう
さあ行こう
猿が踊る裸体の塔
誘惑の舌手招く
本能に飼われるままに
腐乱心襲う 時雨後々灰
これ見よがしに下を見下ろす
ここまで降ろせ
悪趣味な真っ赤な血
ほら野原の風
心に水を差し芽生える
蕾が…また踏みにじられ
「変わったのはお前じゃなかった、
傷付けた俺が
笑いながら死んでいただけ…。
日々淡々と腐にふけながら、
その眼もこの血さえも。
さあ人間を辞めろ。」

Sacrifice
産み落とせ
嗚呼
神々しい彼方は
闇に独り…独り叫ぶ Charisma
焼き付く
浜辺へと打ち上げられる
異臭を放つ生きた証は
太陽に喰われ朽ちる道
見せられないまま
風化を辿る狭い扉
Blue Velvet
綺麗なまま忘れたい
君は死の海を渡り
Blue Velvet
綺麗だから触れれば触れるほど
この胸を壊し
Blue Velvet
愚かな嘘でも良い
ただ少し愛したい
虚ろな眼を空に向けて
明日を見つけて笑う
昨日の手首が…離さない
The lyrics to DIR EN GREY's song Diabolos depict a sense of fear and confusion, with the singer experiencing continuous nightmares that they cannot escape from. They reflect on the passing of time, represented by the fleeting and fading ash, and how they have followed someone else's path without any true agency. The idea of an untouched "Blue Velvet" that they want to forget and move on from is also explored. In the chorus, there is an emphasis on the idea of being drawn to and consumed by something beautiful and destructive - "the more you touch it, the more it steals even your smile". The second verse shifts to a commentary on society's tendency to become overwhelmed and controlled by overwhelming beauty and temptation, causing people to fight and bicker with each other in a brutal and selfish manner.

@fercatriel
This band is absolutely awsome, their sound and atmospheres are unique.
@Kacatkun
Mainly the atmosphere. Kyo rocks on the stage! All of them in fact.
@morganh5611
Kyo's voice is magnetic. I am always drawn into his voice. I wish I knew more people around where i live that likes Dir En Grey. They are just amazing.
@idv22
one of my co-workers (HUGE metal fan and plays in a band) was kind enough to show me a lot of bands i hadn't heard about. when he showed me this song i instantly fell in love
@morganh5611
idv22 Dir En Grey is just yummy all around. I've been listening to them a lot lately. I really want the albums Gauze and Vulgar, I do not have those yet.
@williampantoja8004
Morgan C Grab them while you can., I own every album aside from Arche (can't spare 40 dollars for an album currently) and they're all unique and excellent
@Tiobranlotin
i draw to his voice .
@cheekeebreekee
I've been listening to DeG since 1998... I'm still here in 2018 loving them every step of the way. Kyo is amazing in person .
@alaneah
I'm a Withering to Death fan, that's my favorite album. I saw Diru live yesterday at the House of Blues and they played this album.Words cannot explain the emotion that Kyo sings with. It transcends all language barriers. It's mesmerizing and magical. I love his voice. I love everything about Diru's performance. Everyone just does their own thing and they're GREAT at it. They're by far the best band I've seen live. This whole album is amazing. Their music is amazing. DIRU FTW <333333333333
@euqla
this is their best album imo XD
