DRINK IT DOWN
L'Arc¡«en¡«Ciel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
闇とは深く味わうもの
身体中へ受け入れて感じよう
(Drink it down, enjoy the black around taste the darkness)
Let down, you feel trust falls
Break down
迫り来る衝撃へと恐れずに飛び込み真実が (真実が)
君にも流れ込む
永遠に沈むような
錯覚に抱かれて何処まで (何処まで)
正気で居られるのか?
君の手が核心へ近づく
手負いでもその目に賭けよう
逝く前に掴めるか? 力を
(Drink it down, enjoy the black around taste the darkness)
Let down, you feel trust falls
Break down
鏡は今砕かれ
見たことも無い君が目覚めて (目覚めて)
あぁ もう帰れない
身代わりに失った
鮮やかな幻想が弾けて (弾けて)
裂け目に勝機を見た
Get up, you know the worst
Fed up fearless light now
鏡は今砕かれ
見たことも無い君が目覚めて (目覚めて)
静かに動き出す
わずかに開いた闇の向こうへ駆け上がるその目は (その目は)
もう誰も手に負えない
Drink it, drink it down
Drink it, drink it down
The lyrics of L'Arc¡«en¡«Ciel's song "DRINK IT DOWN" paint a vivid picture of diving into the depths of darkness and confronting one's fears and vulnerabilities. The opening lines express a sensation of smoothly embracing the darkness, urging the listener to fully immerse themselves in it and savor the experience. The imagery of trusting the fall and breaking down one's barriers suggests a willingness to let go and explore the unknown, even if it may be daunting.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve deeper into facing impending shocks and challenges without hesitation, emphasizing the importance of embracing the truth, no matter how harsh it may be. The imagery of sinking into an eternal illusion raises questions about the limits of one's sanity in the face of overwhelming circumstances. The mention of feeling the darkness flowing into oneself and being enveloped in a surreal experience adds layers of complexity to the emotional journey being depicted.
The lyrics further evolve to highlight a moment of crucial decision-making, where the singer's hand inches closer to the core of their being, despite being wounded. The idea of grasping power before it's too late and the theme of trust falling and breaking down once again signify a process of transformation and self-discovery. The shattered mirror symbolizes a shattered reality, where the awakening of an unfamiliar self sparks a realization that there's no turning back from this profound change.
The concluding lines of the song intensify the sense of urgency and determination, urging the listener to rise above the worst and embrace the fearless light within. The imagery of stepping into the unknown and racing towards the open darkness with unstoppable determination conveys a powerful message of resilience and empowerment. The repeated refrain to "Drink it, drink it down" acts as a mantra to encourage facing challenges head-on and fully experiencing the darkness in order to find strength and clarity amidst the chaos.

hyde誕生祭のOPで上裸のhydeさんが見れてDMC3のダンテを彷彿とさせたし、会場のライトが赤と青でダンテとバージルだったし、hydeさんの髪色とか衣装とかダンテだったしマジでデビルメイクライだった。

実は何気にドラマーの才能の凄さがラルクの底力よ。ドラム上手くて、ルックスが良くて、作る曲まで格好良い。こりゃ反則技だわな。
