DNA に貼り付いた覆い隠せぬ衝動

History repeating, panic and confusion
History is weeping, sense of disillusion
History repeating, pieces of a puzzle
Why can't we just live as one?

Nowhere to run we're seeking redemption
No waiting for divine intervention
Search for the tree that overcomes death
Taking the fruit discover a new way to breathe

未知への key を挿して堕ち行く生に操作を

History repeating, panic and confusion
History is weeping, sense of disillusion
History repeating, pieces of a puzzle
Why can't we just live as one?

Nowhere to run we're seeking redemption
No waiting for divine intervention
Search for the tree that overcomes death
Taking the fruit discover a new way to breathe

History repeating, science and perversion
History is weeping, weapons of destruction
History repeating in our final hour
Why can't we just live as one?

Nowhere to run, we're seeking redemption
No waiting for divine intervention

Search for the tree that overcomes death
Taking the fruit, discover a new way to breathe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of L'Arc~en~Ciel's song "‰i‰“" delve into complex themes of historical repetition, human turmoil, and the quest for redemption. The opening lines, "DNA に貼り付いた覆い隠せぬ衝動," suggest an inextricable link between our genetic makeup and our emotional impulses; it hints at the idea that our primal instincts and the patterns of history are embedded deep within us. The phrase evokes a sense of inevitability regarding the cycles of history—how humanity seems doomed to repeat its mistakes. As the song progresses into phrases like "History repeating, panic and confusion," it paints a vividly troubled landscape, where feelings of disillusionment and helplessness prevail. The questioning tone in "Why can't we just live as one?" serves as an urgent plea for unity, reflecting the singer's frustration over humanity’s inability to transcend its differences and past failures.


The repetition of "History repeating" throughout the lyrics emphasizes a cyclical nature of human experience, marked by chaos and strife. The dramatic imagery of history weeping signifies a collective sorrow, suggesting that each repetition of mistakes compounds our suffering. As the lines discuss "pieces of a puzzle," it implies that these historical events, while chaotic, may also hold significance and lessons vital for growth or understanding. However, the longing for cohesion amid chaos raises the crucial question of whether we can break free from the cycles that bind us. The singer’s yearning for unity becomes a stark contrast to the disarray being depicted, highlighting the disparity between the human potential for connection and the shortcomings of our behavior over time.


The middle stanza introduces elements of hope and agency in the face of despair. "Nowhere to run we’re seeking redemption" captures a sense of urgency; it evokes a collective human search for salvation in an increasingly fragmented world. By stating "No waiting for divine intervention," the song emphasizes the need for individuals to take responsibility for their circumstances rather than relying on external forces. The metaphor of searching for "the tree that overcomes death" symbolizes a quest for enlightenment or transformative knowledge that could lead humanity away from destruction. Taking "the fruit" and "discovering a new way to breathe" suggests an awakening—an opportunity to redefine existence and foster a more meaningful and compassionate experience.


As the song moves toward a crescendo, it juxtaposes scientific advancements with darker realities in "science and perversion" and references "weapons of destruction." This tension illustrates the dual-edged nature of human ingenuity, reflecting how innovations can be weaponized, revealing a moral crisis at the heart of progress. In this poignant moment—situated "in our final hour"—the lyrics renew their call for collective existence: "Why can't we just live as one?" The persistence of this question throughout the song reinforces a plea for unity and interconnectedness amid trials and tribulations. The strangely hopeful quest for the "fruit" signifies a desire for transformation, a step toward redemption that can lead to a more harmonious existence, ultimately encouraging listeners to reflect on their role in shaping a more compassionate future.
