Their sound ranged from gothic to rock. Their bassist Kaiki left the band (later joining with sexy and starting the Soleil label) right before ROUAGE became major in 1996. Yuki then stepped in to take his place. Unfortunately he decided to leave. Some time after Rika called it quits too. The remaining band members changed their name to Stray Pig, but soon after Shono retired. Kazushi and Rayzi then changed the name again, this time to Stray Pig Vanguard. Rika on the other hand went on to form the band Dibs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

息をひそめて殺めた双子を
巧みに隠す心見つけて
"絶望を知りすぎた
フェミニストが支配する
痛みにあふれた世界の中で..."
光と闇に指をすべらせ
こぼれる前に僕を見つけて
"壊されていくあなたはまるで

切り取られたパズルの破片(かけら)
あなたには見つけられない..."
"僕は消されていく...虚像の中へ
僕は消されていく...僕は..."
ああ満ちることのない月明かり
虚ろに浮かべ
hide and seek 太陽が僕を溶かして
見つけ出すまで

"...あなたを捕まえられない
戯れの時...
同じ彩を見せつづける
戯れの時..."
"あなたは僕を隠す...虚像の中へ...
あなたは僕を隠す...あなたは..."
ああ満ちることのない月明かり
虚ろに浮かべ
ああ手の中で踊らせ
破片(かけら) 探すあなたさえ
hide and seek 太陽が僕を溶かして
見つけ出すまで
hide and seek

太陽がふたりを溶かし
暴き出すまで

Overall Meaning

In ROUAGE's song "hide and seek," the lyrics describe a game of hide and seek between two people, where one of them is particularly skilled at hiding and concealing their emotions. The first verse describes how the other person is trying to find the hidden twin, who has suppressed their feelings and is adept at hiding their true self. The next part of the lyrics describes how they both are struggling to find each other in a world overflowing with pain, where feminists rule and despair seems to be pervasive. They are navigating through the darkness and light, hoping to find each other before it's too late.

As the song progresses, it becomes evident that the one who is hiding their emotions is slowly disappearing into a virtual reality, trying to escape from the pain and reality of their life. The chorus talks about the constant presence of the moon and the sun, how they are present in every moment, but the one they are searching for remains hidden. The second verse talks about how both of them are playing around, seemingly enjoying the game of hide and seek, but in reality, they are searching for something deeper. The final lines of the song describe how they will continue playing the game until they find each other, no matter what.
