A rhythm section that repeats itself through the noisy feedback. Vocals that vibrate with a hysteric feel lyrically entwining within the deafening sound. And at the end of it all, distortion guitars that paint a beautiful landscape.... It's been a while for a band to appear that can give such an overwhelming view of the world through their sound. That band is lostage. A four piece hailing from Nara.
英雄と人殺し
LOSTAGE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
君の方を探すよ
窓の無い部屋と
鍵の無い扉さ
西へと向かうのは
錆びた線の為に
東へと生きるのは
もう忘れそう もう忘れそう
もう隠れんぞ もう隠れんぞ
もう忘れそう もう忘れそう
もう隠れんぞ もう隠れんぞ
These lyrics are from the song "英雄と人殺し" (Eiyuu to Hito Goroshi) by the Japanese rock band LOSTAGE. The title can be translated as "Heroes and Assassins." The song revolves around themes of searching for oneself, the struggle between different perspectives, and the desire to escape or forget.
The opening lines, "Kage no oto yurete, kimi no hou wo sagasu yo," can be interpreted as "The sound of shadows trembles, I search for you." This sets the tone of the song as one of yearning and uncertainty. The following lines, "Mado no nai heya to, kagi no nai tobira sa," translate to "In a room without windows, and a door without a lock." This imagery suggests a sense of confinement or being trapped.
The next lines, "Nishi e to mukau no wa, sabita sen no tame ni, higashi e to ikiru no wa, wareta tsura no tame sa," which mean "Heading west for the sake of a rusty line, living in the east for the sake of broken faces," suggest a metaphorical journey and the choices one makes in life. The song reflects on the impact of external influences and societal expectations on individual decisions and personal growth.
The repetition of "mou wasuresou, mou kakurenzo" ("It seems like I'll forget, I won't hide anymore") in the chorus indicates a longing to move on, to forget, and to stop hiding. It expresses a desire for liberation and a refusal to be constrained by past experiences or perceptions.
