Inglorious
Kerbera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every story has an end
All I once held dear has turned into something else
It's this part I'll have to play
Witnessing it all decay
And that's what hurts the most
Oh, so inglorious
I refuse to see you fall
So I left you at the fork
When you needed me the most
Realized you're paid to fake it
We're breaking the illusion
All of your lies for trust
Still we're inglorious?
Now when facing victory
Can we still tell apart the liberty from misery?
It's desaturating
In the colorless delight
All your enemies were right
When there's nothing left
You'll see how you fade away
Fade away
Realized you're paid to fake it
We're breaking the illusion
All of your lies for trust
You think I'll just eat this up?
Your crown cracks
Your throne splits
Along with the delusions
All of your lies for trust
Still we're inglorious?
Fairytales won't last, my friend
And you may take your prize
But how many corpses did you leave behind?
Strip a man down to his skin
What's of worth is found within
You lost yourself along the way
And for the truth you're blaming me
My only crime is honesty
The lyrics to "Inglorious" by Kerbera are discussing the idea of disillusionment and the realization that not everything is as it seems. The opening lines of the song declare that fairytales won't last and that every story has an end. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which describes how everything the singer once held dear has turned into something else. They are now witnessing the decay of something they once cherished, and this is what hurts the most.
The chorus of the song expresses frustration and a refusal to accept the situation. The singer won't take it anymore and refuses to see someone they love fall apart. However, they have left that person at a fork in the road when they were needed the most. The singer has realized that the person they thought they knew was paid to fake it - they were not genuine. The illusion has been broken, and all of the lies that were told have shattered the trust between them. Despite this realization, they are still "inglorious," still not fully understanding or accepting the truth.
The final lines of the song are a powerful statement about the importance of honesty. The singer's only "crime" is being honest - they did not hide behind lies or illusions. They are urging the other person to look within themselves and see what is truly important. At the end of the day, stripping everything away, what really matters is what is inside.

Fairytales won't last, my friend
Nothing lasts forever, not even fairytales
Every story has an end
Every story has a conclusion
All I once held dear has turned into something else
Things change, and what was once valuable to me, is no longer so
It's this part I'll have to play
I have to accept my role in this situation
Witnessing it all decay
I am watching everything I care about fall apart
And that's what hurts the most
The pain of watching everything fall apart is unbearable
Oh, so inglorious
It's a pitiful and tragic situation
I won't take this anymore
I refuse to accept this situation any longer
I refuse to see you fall
I don't want to see you fail
So I left you at the fork
I abandoned you at a critical juncture
When you needed me the most
At the most crucial point in time
Realized you're paid to fake it
I understand that you're doing a job, but your feelings aren't genuine
We're breaking the illusion
We're shattering the façade and revealing the truth
All of your lies for trust
All the untruths you've told to gain our confidence
Still we're inglorious?
Are we still deserving of mercy, even though we know the truth?
Now when facing victory
Having achieved success and being at the height of power
Can we still tell apart the liberty from misery?
In the face of power, can we still distinguish between freedom and despair?
It's desaturating
The vibrancy of life is ebbing away
In the colorless delight
In the midst of what should be happiness, there is no joy
All your enemies were right
Your opponents were correct about you
When there's nothing left
Once all is said and done
You'll see how you fade away
You'll see how quickly you lose power and influence
Realized you're paid to fake it
I understand you're doing a job, but it's not real
You think I'll just eat this up?
You expect me to believe all your lies and swallow them without question?
Your crown cracks
Your authority and power is disintegrating
Your throne splits
Your seat of power is falling apart
Along with the delusions
Together with all the falsehoods
And for the truth you're blaming me
You hold me responsible for expressing the underlying truth
My only crime is honesty
The only thing I've done wrong is to tell the truth
And you may take your prize
You will get your reward
But how many corpses did you leave behind?
How many people were hurt or killed while achieving this success?

Letra en español
(De nada ahre)
Los cuentos de hadas no duraran, mi amigo
Toda historia tiene un final
Todo lo que alguna vez consideré querido se convirtió en algo más
Es esta parte que tendré que jugar
Presenciarlo todo decaer
Y eso es lo que duele más
Oh, tan poco glorioso
No voy a tomar esto más
Me niego a verte caer
Así que te dejé en la bifurcación
Cuando me necesitabas más
Me di cuenta de que eres pagado para fingirlo
Estamos rompiendo la ilusión
Todas tus mentiras por confianza
¿Todavía no somos gloriosos?
Ahora al enfrentar la victoria
¿Todavía podemos distinguir la libertad de la miseria?
Está desaturando
En el deleite incoloro
Todos tus enemigos tenían razón
Cuando no queda nada
Verás cómo te desvaneces
Desvanecerse
Me di cuenta de que eres pagado para fingirlo
Estamos rompiendo la ilusión
Todas tus mentiras por confianza
¿Crees que voy a tragarme esto?
Tu corona se agrieta
Tu trono se divide
Junto con los delirios
Todas tus mentiras por confianza
¿Todavía no somos gloriosos?
Los cuentos de hadas no duraran, mi amigo
Y puedes tomar tu premio
Pero, ¿cuántos cadáveres dejaste atrás?
Pele un hombre hasta su piel
Lo que importa se encuentra dentro
Te perdiste a lo largo del camino
Y por la verdad me estás culpando
Mi único crimen es la honestidad

2023 sigue siendo poderosa ésta canción. Serán los clásicos que posibles futuros nietos tendrán que escuchar.
@beepboop648
Rip to this song on Spotify. I'm still holding on to hope for its return
@tommillard4193
Why was this removed do you know it annoyed me aswell
@someoneelse7424
it didn't return yet unfortunately
@musik-elias9147
Most likely it wont, sometimes it's like that, and that's the bad thing about streaming. You can however contact the band and ask or request it. Good luck!
@RileyKohler
This style is so much more fitting for Seike, both vocal wise and fashion wise, than Seremedy was. With Yohio off in Japan, and these guys doing this, I think everyone in Seremedy has finally found their place in the music industry. I'm so proud of my boys!

They separated a few hours ago, it’s very sad to know it, but at least Kerbera left us very good songs and there is nothing left but to support each member in their personal projects.
@josevictortakesaki3143
