Torture
MIYAVI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
singin' here to get rid of fear Hope
it disappears right here with the rain But
I know life is pain not, like a fairytale Meaningless
to pray so, just goin' on my way Tomedonai
kono itami to Yarikirenai
from my eyes cuz of a pack of lies That
binds up my mind so that I can't escape So
that I can't escape So
that I can't escape So
that I can't escape So
that I can't escape Hey
god can, you feel the pain you give to me Kill?
me heavenly before I awake Why
you torture me just, hatin' me Even?
if it's destiny I, don't run away I
don't run away I
don't run away I
don't run away I
don't run away Dead
*Yume*
mo kibou mo nai endingu no Munashii
otogibanashi nante dare mo mitaku wa nai I
don't wanna see I, don't wanna see anymore Hey
god can, you feel the pain you give to me Kill?
me heavenly before I awake Why
you torture me just, hatin' me Even?
if it's destiny I, don't run away I
don't run away I
don't run away I
don't run away I
don't run away Dead

The lyrics of miyavi’s song TORTURE reflect the artist's inner struggles with pain, hopelessness and the desire to escape the torment of life. The song starts with miyavi singing about his fear that he wishes to overcome through his singing, hoping that the fear will disappear with the rain. However, he knows that life is not a fairytale and that pain is an inseparable part of it. He feels trapped, unable to escape his anger, frustration, and the lies that bind him to a painful and meaningless existence.
The chorus is an appeal to God to end his suffering, to kill him before he wakes up to another day of torture, and to stop hating him. He knows that his destiny is to suffer, but he refuses to run away from it, he doesn’t want to see the empty fairy tales of hope and desire anymore. The song ends on a note of the finality of death, as if it is the only escape from the endless cycle of pain, torture, and despair.
The lyrics and the music video of TORTURE are deeply personal, reflecting miyavi’s struggles with depression, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts. The song is a tribute to those who suffer in silence, to those who are trapped in their pain and can’t see a way out. It is a cry for help, a confession of vulnerability and a reminder that there is always hope, even when it seems impossible.

Despite feeling dead inside, I am singing to try and ease my fear and hope that it dissipates like rain.
But I know life is pain not, like a fairytale Meaningless to pray so, just goin' on my way Tomedonai
I am aware that life is not a fairytale and that praying is meaningless. I will continue on my way without stopping.
kono itami to Yarikirenai ikari to iradachi Bleedin' from my eyes cuz of a pack of lies That binds up my mind so that I can't escape So that I can't escape So that I can't escape So that I can't escape Hey
I cannot bear this pain, anger, and frustration. I am crying tears of blood due to the lies that trap me and prevent me from escaping. I feel trapped and helpless.
GOD can, you feel the pain you give to me Kill? me heavenly before I awake Why you torture me just, hatin' me Even? if it's destiny I, don't run away I don't run away I don't run away I don't run away dead
I question whether God feels the pain he inflicts upon me, and I plead for him to take me out of my misery before I wake up. Despite feeling like God hates me and that this is my destiny, I will not run away and will face it head-on.
Yume mo kibou mo nai endingu no Munashii otogibanashi nante dare mo mitaku wa nai I don't wanna see I, don't wanna see anymore Hey
I realize that my dreams and hopes are futile, and there is no happy ending. No one wants to see a meaningless fairytale, and neither do I.

とめどない この痛みと やりきれない 怒りと苛立ち
Bleedin' from my eyes cuz of pack of lies.
That binds up my mind so that I can't escape.
Hey GOD, can you feel the pain you give to me?
Kill me heavenly before I awake.
Why you torture me, just hatin' me?
Even if it's deatiny, I don't run away.
夢も希望も無いエンディングの虚しい
お伽話なんて誰も見たくはない
I Don't wanna see, I Don't wanna see anymore.
Hey GOD, can you feel the pain you give to me?
Kill me heavenly before I awake.
Why you torture me, just hatin' me?
Even if it's deatiny, I don't run away.
