VANITAS
DIR EN GREY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
薄い春の色を手にして
逃げ出したい夜に眺めて
声を震わせながら立ち止まる
死は何故訪れる?
どこかで触れた言葉
重なる答えが
君よさよなら
振り返らない瞳
思い焦がれた
せせらぐ時
耳を澄ます
叶えられない夢に
終わりを隠してたから
この日が素晴らしき日で
ありますように
君さえが...
薄翅蜉蝣光求めて
迷い込んだ心はいつも
未来へ
彼岸花揺れる
君よさよなら
振り返らない瞳
思い焦がれた
せせらぐ時
耳を澄ます
叶えられない夢に
終わりを隠してたから
この日が素晴らしき日で
ありますように
だから
明日も降り積もる涙を拭い取り
足を止めず向かう先で逢えるから
For One More Day
もう言葉も届かない君はアリス
ここは?
The song "Vanitas" by DIR EN GREY is a haunting and introspective piece that explores the human experience of life and death. The lyrics are introspective and personal, narrating the struggle to come to terms with the inevitability of death and the ephemeral nature of life. The opening lines, "For the scars that come with living in the present / I hold the lightness of spring", express the idea that life isn't always easy, but there's still beauty to be found in it.
The second verse speaks of the human fascination with death, asking why it comes to us and what will happen after. The line "The rain falls down in a mischievous answer" suggests that there may not be any answers, and that death is simply a part of life that can't be fully understood. The chorus serves as a farewell to someone, acknowledging that they'll never come back but still hoping that life will be wonderful for them. The final lines of the song express a sense of determination to keep moving forward, even in the face of overwhelming sadness and grief, because there's still a chance to find happiness and fulfillment in life.
Overall, "Vanitas" is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking song that invites listeners to reflect on the fleeting nature of human existence and the importance of making the most of our time on earth.

Even the wounds to live in the present
今を生きる為の傷さえ
With a light spring color in hand
薄い春の色を手にして
Look at the night you want to escape
逃げ出したい夜に眺めて
Stop while shaking your voice
声を震わせながら立ち止まる
Why does death come?
死は何故訪れる?
Words touched somewhere
どこかで触れた言葉
Overlapping answers
重なる答えが
Rain that falls on mischief
悪戯に降らす雨
Goodbye you
君よさよなら
Eyes that do not look back
振り返らない瞳
Longed for
思い焦がれた
When babbling
せせらぐ時
Listen
耳を澄ます
For dreams that can't be fulfilled
叶えられない夢に
Because I hid the end
終わりを隠してたから
May this day be a wonderful day
この日が素晴らしき日でありますように
Even you ...
君さえが...
In search of the thin wing wing light
薄翅蜉蝣光求めて
The lost heart is always
迷い込んだ心はいつも
To the future
未来へ
Cluster amaryllis sways
彼岸花揺れる
Goodbye you
君よさよなら
Eyes that do not look back
振り返らない瞳
Longed for
思い焦がれた
When babbling
せせらぐ時
Listen
耳を澄ます
For dreams that can't be fulfilled
叶えられない夢に
Because I hid the end
終わりを隠してたから
May this day be a wonderful day
この日が素晴らしき日でありますように
So
だから
Wipe off the tears that will fall tomorrow
明日も降り積もる涙を拭い取り
I can meet you wherever you go without stopping
足を止めず向かう先で逢えるから
For One More Day
For One More Day
You can't reach the words anymore, you're Alice
もう言葉も届かない君はアリス

@aikyai
Even the scar that's needed to survive grabs
Hold of the lightly-colored spring and stops
Staring into the night, wanting to escape as the voice trembles
Why does death come?
Hearing that word before somewhere
The same answer rains down mischievously
Goodbye to you
The eyes won't look back
To have loved passionately
Listening closely to hear the murmur
I was hiding the end in the dream unconquered
Hoping that this day will be a wonderful day
If you would just...
The ant lion searching for the light
The lost heart always looks to the future as the flowers of lycoris sway
Goodbye to you
The eyes won't look back
To have loved passionately
Listening closely to hear the murmur
I was hiding the end in the dream unconquered
Hoping that this day will be a wonderful day
I will again wipe the tears that will come running down tomorrow
Not stopping, for we will meet at the destination
For One More Day
Words won't teach you anymore, now that you are Alice
here?

アルバムタイトルの「DUM SPIRO SPERO(生きる限り希望を持つことが出来る)」はこの曲と、この曲に行きつくまでの流れがまさに物語っている。ただの病んだ曲でもなければ、ただの前向きな曲でもない。
綺麗事だけでは整理出来ない。かといって絶望に暮れても失ったモノは戻らない。
泣きわめいて、怒り散らかして、それでもどうしようない心の痛みを抱えたまま、明日をもう一度信じて生きてみる。
ある意味DIR EN GREYの本質を描いた曲だと思う。

「叶えられない夢に終わりを隠してたから」のところほんとすき
@Insectzoid
Kyo's voice is the only thing that sooths me these days. I love and respect this band so much for that. I not only love them, But i need them..
@ganondorfchampin
Such a pretty song for such an otherwise chaotic album.
@Mechimmortal
That only adds to the chaos then, no? It is amazing for sure.
@Krimson5pride
Isn't it what it means to be chaotic???
@user-wd8yy3bu1f
確か3.11の後に作られた曲ですよね。私達はあの歴史を忘れてはいけないですね。
@TheOfficialGreebo
When I first discovered diru I was interested in their sound though I couldn't say I liked it yet, and I think they've grown on me more than I could ever have imagined or than any other band ever, their music represents infinity to me. My respect for them as artists and individuals is limitless. Dir En Grey, I truly thank you for making my life.
