Sliver
MEJIBRAY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think about more than I forget
It's "fuck the new world"

Curse of my heart
Confusion... dead shine

脳を蝕む... Skittering skirge
声、全てを許されない

Blood≒Sorrow

終わらない洗脳、蜘蛛の糸
穴のあいた掌

Growing of my heart?
Growing of my scars*

ゆりかごは誰をも見放し
変わらない現状
生きる意味、言葉さえ見失う

No mouth slivers

確かなものは辺りを彩る痛みの紅

No mouth slivers

確かめあった痛みはいずれ終わりを告げる

震える指とこぼれる泪
終わりは何処へ動き始める?
声も出せずに手に取る白銀は
Bad CLOCKUP

Confusion... NEW END

脳、滴る過去の絵画
傷、他人からの眼差し

Blood≒Sorrow

気付かない朦朧、痕跡と意図
嘲笑う子供たち

Growing of my heart?
Growing of my scars

黒い月、生きる術はない
誰も皆口を塞いで茨の道嘆く

No mouth slivers

確かなものは身体を巡る生命の紅

No mouth slivers

確かめあったアナタは何処で花を積むのか

幾度も咲いた左の花束
痛みは何処へ動き始める?
声を殺して手に取る白銀は
Bad CLOCKUP

Accept now.
Accept now.
Accept now.

嗚咽
嗚咽

Growing of my heart?
Growing of my scars

ゆりかごは誰をも見放し
変わらない現状
生きる意味、言葉さえ見失う

No mouth slivers

確かなものは辺りを彩る痛みの紅

No mouth slivers

確かめあった痛みはいずれ終わりを告げる

変わらぬ現在を受け入れていた
痛みも全て愛すと誓う
重ねた悲鳴
瞳閉じないで





Dead slivers.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mejibray's "Sliver in 2-3" seem to explore the themes of pain, confusion, and acceptance. The opening lines "I think about more than I forget, It's 'fuck the new world'" suggest a sense of disillusionment with the world at large. This feeling is further compounded by the lines "Curse of my heart, confusion...dead shine, 脳を蝕む... Skittering skirge" which seem to be referencing the mental anguish caused by feelings of alienation and confusion.


The chorus features the repeated refrain of "No mouth slivers" which serves as a kind of anchor to the song's themes. It seems to suggest that the pain and confusion the singer is experiencing is something internal, something they are not able to express through words. The imagery of a sliver further emphasizes this sense of internalization.


The song's final lines, "変わらぬ現在を受け入れていた 痛みも全て愛すと誓う 重ねた悲鳴 瞳閉じないで Dead slivers," seem to tie all of the song's themes together. The singer is accepting the pain and confusion they have experienced, even going so far as to swear to love it. The repetition of "dead slivers" at the end of the track suggests that despite this acceptance, the pain they have experienced will always be a part of them.

Mejibray made a big part of my ordinary life, they can't be back (with Tsuzuku and Koichi at least) but always be alive in my heart.

Listening to this song makes me feel so emotional. They're fighters. I love these guys so much. Talented, sounds good together live and recorded. Tsuzuku especially is strong. My favorite band always and forever. Their songs are so powerful and I wouldn't be where I am without them. 6 years and they've never given up on us. We owe them the same. They may be going hiatus and for who knows why, but I won't give up on them. Thank you so much for the upload. Listening to this has made me feel even more hopeful. I'll always cherish their songs and what they've done for everyone.
