In the past, their collaborative song “COLOR” was chosen to be the theme for the anime “Freezing”. On May 13, 2012, they performed for their Chinese fans at the ANIME ROCK CONVENTION in Shanghai, and are looking to do more live performances overseas. They are currently signed to Pony Canyon Inc.. Their major debut single “ambiguous” is the 2nd opening song of the anime "Kill la Kill".
The name "GARNiDELiA" is an portmanteau of "Le Palais Garnier de Maria", which means “Maria's Opera House”, and "Cordelia", the name of an asteroid discovered in toku's birth year.

GARNiDELiA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
逃げだす闘争心
苦笑いに疲れ 膨らむ侮蔑が言う
言葉少なけりゃ
良い子でいられるの?
あと出ししてれば だいたい安全圏?
waiting for a beautiful life?
ここにはまだ無いけど
探さなきゃ見つからない
expected to beautiful life?
それぞれの運命抱えて今
手を伸ばせ 闇の向こう
紅く浮かぶは 明けの明星
流れ星落ちても
もう 届かぬ願いなら
焼き尽くしてしまえ
いろいろ背負ってちゃ
天国に行けないと
ため息ふかして 煙たい誰かが言う
知らない世界を 語りつくして
あとが無い自分
だいたい詰んでる件
waiting for a beautiful life?
ここにはまだ無いけど
waiting for a wonderful life?
探さなきゃ見つからない
expected to beautiful life?
それぞれの明日を抱えて今
舞い上がれ 空高く
蒼く浮かぶは 宵の明星
奇跡を待っても
もう 届かぬ想いなら
歌さえ奪えばいい
waiting for a beautiful life?
ここにはまだ無いけど
waiting for a wonderful life?
探さなきゃ見つからない
expected to beautiful life?
それぞれの運命を抱えて今
手を伸ばせ 闇の向こう
紅く浮かぶは 明けの暁月
流れ星落ちても
もう届かぬ願いなら
焼き尽くしてしまえ
いっそのこと
声さえ奪えばいい
The song "Lucifer" by GARNiDELiA talks about escaping from the rush hour of life and the struggles and conflicts that come with it. The lyrics suggest that people often become exhausted and tired of the false smiles and the inflated arrogance that surrounds them. The songline "言葉少なけりゃ 良い子でいられるの?" (If I say less, can I be a good kid?) questions the authenticity of societal standards and implies that hiding true feelings will help us survive.
The lyrics call out for a beautiful life, but the singer acknowledges that it’s not something that can be simply given, and instead must be found through one's own journey. The song suggests an underlying darkness that must be overcome and conquered before a beautiful life can be attained. The chorus suggests that we must reach out beyond the darkness and strive to find our unique destiny in life. The final words "いっそのこと 声さえ奪えばいい” (If it’s already impossible, then just steal our voices) suggest the importance of finding oneself and asserting one's voice in the world even if it means going against societal norms.
