Since HYDE keeps his personal information scarce, much about him is either unknown or unofficial, including his real name, purported to be Hideto Takarai. He confirmed his birthdate (January 29, 1969) in an interview for the 2002 March issue of Rockin On Japan.
HYDE's debut as a solo artist was in October 2001, when he released his first solo single, Evergreen. After two more singles, Angel's Tale and Shallow Sleep, HYDE released his first solo album, ballad-filled ROENTGEN, in March 2002. An overseas edition featuring English lyrics was released in July. His next two singles, HELLO and HORIZON, both including a b-side track not found on any album, were released prior to his second album, rockish 666, all in late 2003.
While reuniting with L'Arc~en~Ciel after a 3 year hiatus, HYDE continued his solo career. He composed the music for the song Glamorous Sky, sung by 中島美嘉 (Mika Nakashima) and to be used in the movie NANA. HYDE's next single Countdown was released in October 2005, it included Japanese & English versions of the title song. Another single, Season's Call, was used as the second opening theme to the anime show Blood+, starting in January 2006. The single was released in February. Third album FAITH was released in April, and it can be describes as hard rock with religious touch. The album was accompanied by a five-month tour with many locations in Japan, and four concerts in California, USA. Following the completion of the tour, a DVD of the concerts was released in November.
In addition to his musical career, HYDE has also starred in movies Moon Child and 下弦の月 (Kagen no Tsuki, also known as Last Quarter).
In early 2008, HYDE formed a new unit, VAMPS, with his fellow guitarist K.A.Z – and released a photobook ominously named HYDE IS DEAD.

Hyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the song "One Thousand Lies" by Hyde, the lyrics seem to speak about the power of belief and how it can lead to illusions and self-deception. The opening line, "it's all in your head," implies that the things we believe in are not necessarily true, but rather constructs of our own minds. The lyrics go on to suggest that believing in something can offer comfort, but can also be dangerous if it blinds us to reality. The lines "1000 years of lies carry on with the comfort of knowing that you will be saved. I'll save myself" suggest that although there is comfort in believing in something, it is ultimately up to the individual to save themselves and find meaning in their own lives.
The song seems to question organized religion and the idea of blindly following a set of beliefs without questioning them. The lines "how does it feel to realize that everything you believe in is the biggest joke that's ever been played" point to the potential disappointment and disillusionment that can come from realizing that the things we believe in may not be true. However, the song also offers a message of hope, stating that "heaven is a state of mind and hell is what you make of it." This implies that we have the power to create our own realities and find meaning in our own lives, rather than relying on external beliefs.
Overall, "One Thousand Lies" is a thought-provoking song that challenges the listener to think critically about the things they believe in and find their own meaning and purpose in life.
