EXISTENCE
L'Arc~en~Ciel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

時計の針は既に3週目に突入
この部屋から出て行けよ好い加減に
眠れないよ 何時もの様に
頭の中居座る

Take away, their existence
Take away, their insistence
奴が来たら更に状況は悪化
気づいた時は手遅れ追い帰せない
夢の番人のつもりなのかい
頭の中居座る

Take away, their existence
Take away, their insistence

連れ去られた夜と手招くまぶしい
太陽が無邪気な笑顔で
目覚めろと追い詰める

I'll wake up the moment you close your eyes
I'll make you watch documentary movies every single night
The more you try to forget
The more I'll be at your side
I am the vampire who lives in the darkness of your mind
You will not be able to sleep
So why don't you just stay awake?

Take away, their existence
Take away, their insistence

君の肌に沈み 優しく溺れられたなら
肺が溢れるまで 満たしたい君で
連れ去られた夜と 手招く眩しい太陽へ
銃口を突き出して掴み取れ自由を!

Take away
Take away
Take away
Take away

You will not be able to sleep




You will not be able to sleep
So why don't you just stay awake?

Overall Meaning

The song "EXISTENCE" by L'Arc~en~Ciel depicts a person who is stuck in their own mind and cannot escape the constant thoughts and memories that haunt them. The first few lines "The clock hands are already in the third week. Get out of this room and be decent" imply that time is passing and the person is still stuck in the same place mentally. They cannot sleep and their thoughts are taking control of their mind.


The repeated phrases "Take away their existence" and "take away their insistence" refer to the person's desire to get rid of these thoughts and memories, which are trying to take over their existence. However, as the song progresses, it is revealed that the person is actually fighting against a vampire - a creature that represents their own inner demons. The vampire is trying to keep the person awake and prevent them from finding peace. The line "I am the vampire who lives in the darkness of your mind" reveals that this vampire is a part of the person themselves - a manifestation of their own fears and anxieties.
