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.

どうして「非現実」(ここ)に
いるんだろう?
いつしかあなた苦しめてた
どうして「非現実」(ここ)に
いるんだろう
空の夢に埋もれてゆく
...Queen for you...
どうして「現実」が

あるんだろう?
いつしかあなた見失った
どうして「現実」に
にあるんだろう?
夢を見てたはずの僕
心が削れていく痛みの中
手を振るキミはこんな顔で
僕を観てた
笑ってた
Queen for you 遊ぶ時の中
飾るドレスを捨てて
Queen for you あなた消えたから
Queen for you 「許しあえるね」

求める度離れていく何かを
映した月はこんな顔で
僕を観てた
笑ってた
Queen for you 遊ぶ時の中
飾るドレスを捨てて
Queen for you あなた消えたから
Queen for you 「許しあえるね」
Queen for you 叶う夢の中
痛むすべてを抱いて
Queen for you 僕は消えるから

Queen for you 「わかりあえるね」
...Queen for you...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ROUAGE's song "Queen" is a reflection of the emotional turmoil and confusion that comes with being in a state of limbo between reality and fantasy. The lyrics speak of a person questioning why they are in the unreal world and how it is causing them to suffer. The use of the word "Queen" is interesting because it suggests a sense of grandeur and power, yet in the context of the song, it seems to be a symbol of something unattainable, almost like a figment of the imagination.

As the song progresses, the lyrics switch between questioning why the real world exists and how the dream world is causing the singer to feel pain. The Queen, who may represent an unattainable love, is brought up again as someone who has disappeared, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The lines "Queen for you, I'll play within the time / Throwing away the dress I decorate / Queen for you, because you disappeared / Queen for you, "I can forgive you"" suggest that in this imaginary world, the singer is willing to sacrifice their own desires to please this Queen, even though she is no longer there.

Overall, the lyrics of "Queen" are a poignant exploration of the space between what is real and what is not, and how that can cause people to feel lost and alone.
