DRINK IT DOWN
L'Arc~en~Ciel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

滑らかに貼りつく感触
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to L'Arc~en~Ciel's song "Drink It Down" describe a sense of surrendering oneself to darkness, embracing it instead of fearing it. The opening line speaks of a smooth, tactile feeling that sticks to the body. The darkness is something to be savored and felt throughout the body. The chorus repeats the phrase "Drink it down, enjoy the black, around taste the darkness," as if the singer is encouraging the listener to fully embrace the darkness and its sensations.


The second verse speaks of trust falling apart and being replaced by fearlessness. The singer implores the listener to jump into the approaching shock and embrace the truth. The image of sinking into an illusion like eternity is described, questioning how long one can remain sane in that state. The bridge poses a question of whether the listener can grasp the strength needed to reach the core, even if they are wounded and risking everything. The final verse speaks of a shattered mirror, and the awakening of an unfamiliar self that can never return. The lost vibrant illusion is celebrated bursting into the seam, revealing the opportunity to seize victory. The final repetition of "Drink it down" beckons the listener to continue to embrace the darkness.

この曲はみんなの意見を取り入れる方式で作ってて
hydeが「本当に楽しかった」って
言うぐらいだから
もう一回この作り方して欲しいな
バンドの凄さを再確認して欲しい

@user-kq1pd8pj3o

四人全員作詞も作曲できるのは強み

@user-bn5ro5im3m

メンバー誰でも作詞作曲ってのは、L'Arcだけの専売特許じゃないんやで?

@YuuuuuuuuY

@鶏玉子 強み言うてるだけで謎に突っかかってんの草

@user-bn5ro5im3m

@yut ueno 突っ掛かってはなくて、にわかL'Arcファンは口癖の様に言ってるから、不思議に思ってるだけ

個人的にL'Arcは、KENの作曲は別格

彼は天才と思う

@user-kq1pd8pj3o

@鶏玉子
いろんな音楽聞いてるしその中でもラルクはファン歴長いんですが
強み=ニワカと言われても

@komugi_555

@鶏玉子 突っかかる割に主観で話してるからなんの根拠もなくて草
もちろんけんちゃんも凄いけどシングル売り上げトップ3の作曲はhydeとてっちゃんだぞ笑笑
