1) Band: Since Yvelines College where the two brothers Fabien and Florian Dubos and their two friends Nicolas Chassagne and Benoît Poher discovered that they shared the same passion for Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Rage, Soundgarden... and the graphic universe of Japanese mangas, Kyo has existed. The four boys honed their talents in concerts at schools and various venues in the Paris area. In 97, they met their future manager, who, convinced of their potential, got the band their first contract with Sony edition. The professional adventure was set in concrete with their entry as the first local signature in the Jive/repertory Zomba France. 2003 was definitely KYO's year. The French pop quartet was nominated numerous times at NRJ's annual music awards, winning best French album, song, and group of the year honors. All the hubbub was over when KYO's second album, Le Chemin (The Way), and its title track/lead single, which dominated the European charts all year and made stars out of the four photogenic fellows from Paris. Nicolas Chassagne, Benoît Poher, and brothers Florian Dubos and Fabien Dubos had already made a splash with their self-titled début in 2000, but it was the textured, slightly electronicized pop of "Le Chemin" -- a duet with Dutch songstress Sita -- that really established their slick, Depeche Mode-meets-BBMak sound.
2)Solo artist: 京 (Kyo) is a current member of Dir en grey, has also released his own solo work, accompanied by books of his poems.
3)Solo artist: Another Kyo is a prominent figure of the Japanese rock scene. Kyo has provided vocals for many bands since the explosion in Japanese rock bands of the 80's, including Yokosuka Saver Tiger, D'erlanger, die in cries and most recently BUG, in addition to a solo career spanning seven albums and eleven years.
4) Solo artist: Korean artist with a new album " KYO 1st Single Album (DCALCOMANIE)"
5) Kyo is the experimental brainchild of Copenhagen-based artist and composer Frederik Valentin and Hannes Norrvide of synth provocateurs Lust for Youth. Together they released a handful of tapes and records through Copenhagen's Posh Isolation.
6) A Eurodance act form the early 1990s, hich had a minor hit with the song "Keep in touch with life"
7) Japanese electronic music producer / DJ who mainly produces UK Garage & Bassline, based in Tokyo, Japan.
8) DNB Vocalist, often associated with Symmetry Recordings and mostly vocalist on tracks with Break. Release a Single on Symmetry Recordings in 2018 called Who Decides in 2018. (https://symmetryrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/symm026-kyo-who-decides-ep)
Respire
Kyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jeter tout ce qui nous échappe, ne faire qu'effleurer la surface
Même un peu d'excès parfois mais pas trop
Juste ce qu'on se doit
Pour se sentir bien vivant il suffit finalement que l'on
Respire
Un peu du nouvel air
Mourir
Avant d'avoir offert
La vie à la planète entière
On est bien jeune et parfois c'est sur nos épaules trop étroites
Que réside le poids du ciel on pourrait le toucher de nos doigts
Je n'veux plus rentrer chez moi, mais chez moi où c'est déjà ?
L'important c'est qu'ensemble on oublie pas
Qu'il suffit que l'on
Respire
Seuls, seuls, seuls, seuls
Il faut que l'on
Refrain
Avant d'avoir offert
La vie à la planète entière
Si la vie n'est qu'un rêve alors rien n'a commencé
Et si rien n'a commencé alors on peut tout refaire
Refaire
On peut tout refaire
In Kyo's song "Respire," the lyrics hint at the idea of rebelling against the world's expectations and pressures from "hiding" from them. The chorus is a reminder to focus on oneself and on the world as they are in the present moment, to "breathe" and "pray" to not die before giving life to the entire planet. The lyrics also touch on the overall themes of growing up and feeling weighed down by responsibilities that seem too much to bear.
The song begins with the lines "Glisser sur les ondes ensemble, se dérober au monde / Jeter tout ce qui nous échappe, ne faire qu'effleurer la surface," which roughly translates to "gliding on the waves together, escaping from the world / throwing away everything that escapes us, only grazing the surface." This encapsulates the idea of disconnecting from the world and focusing on oneself, only allowing things that are essential to "graze" the surface. Kyo's sharp vocals make the lyrics even more poignant, conveying a sense of urgency and desperation.
Overall, "Respire" is a song about rebelling against the pressures of growing up and finding oneself in a difficult world. The lyrics urge listeners to focus on their own needs and letting go of the expectations from others, all while preserving the planet's life.
