Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
teizoku sugiru omae nado kore ijou fumiiru na to iu
Ah... kagi wo akero
omae nimo kikoeru daro?
tsuburete iku n'da kono yami ga
Soko wa ore ga ita basho da imasugu sono [DOA] wo akero yo
Ah... kowareteku
omae gotoki nado ni wa
tayasuku jama sareru giri wa nai
Tsunagitometa kusari ga mata itagaru sugata takaku warau
akiramereba raku ni nareru?
te wo sashinoberu kimi wa mou inai kara...
Sono wa ore ga miru hazu no keshiki de
kono chiisa na sukima wo nozokanakya mirenakunatte shimatta n'da
Ah... kowareteku
omae fotoki nado ni wa
tayasuku jama sareru giri wa nai
Shadan sareta keshiki ga hora oto mo tatezu ni awaku kieru
uranda koe sakenda koe kaeranu risou mitsume fusagikomu...
Tsunagitometa kusari ga mata itagaru sugata takaku warau
akiramereba raku ni nareru?
te wo sashinoberu kimi wa mou inai kara...
The lyrics of Girugamesh's song "Shadan" depict a sense of fear and imprisonment. The opening lines describe a wall being built in front of the person, referring to their fear being labeled as a coward. The lyrics ask if the listener can hear the sound of the key opening, suggesting that there might be a way to escape the darkness they are facing. The darkness is personified as a force that is constantly breaking them down. The lyrics urge the listener to open the door immediately, as behind it lies the opportunity to overcome the pain and re-emerge with newfound strength.
The second verse conveys the idea that the darkness is causing them to fall apart. It says that there is no obligation to easily hinder those like them, implying that it is acceptable to resist the societal pressures and constraints imposed upon them. The lyrics describe a chain that is difficult to break, suggesting that it continues to haunt and torment them. The line "Te wo sashinoberu kimi wa mou inai kara..." (Because you who could reach out your hand are no longer here...) implies that someone who could have helped or supported them is no longer present, leaving them to face the struggle alone.
Overall, "Shadan" explores the themes of fear, imprisonment, and the desire to break free from societal pressures. It urges the listener to confront their fears and overcome the pain that they may be experiencing.
