Forming in 1997, the members were only 15 when the band was formed. They were signed to a major label in 1999, and their major debut single, "Hanasaku Inochi Aru Kagiri", was a moderate success, reaching number 25 on the Oricon charts. They were known for their impressive style, which had an aggressive, progressive tone, with angelic melodies by frontman Yuki. By the summer of 2000, they were at their career peak, and their albums were selling pretty well for such a young band. However, on Halloween 2000, the guitarist and main songwriter of the band, Kazuki, died at the young age of 19. Soon after that, the band decided it was time to split. The vocalist (Yuki) and the drummer (Kazuhiro) formed Rice later that year, while the bassist (Yukito) embarked on a solo project. The band was resurrected for a short time in 2012 with all remaining members to celebrate Kazuki's 13th memorial.

Lessons In Love
Raphael Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

¿Dónde está nuestro amor?
No sé bien cuál fue el error
Y aunque duela la verdad
Nunca tiene vuelta atrás

Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love

For restless eyes egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep
But and love is overboard

Tú por mí, yo por ti
Intentando descubrir
Que lección se nos paso

All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love

If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it
Lessons in love, lost without love

Lessons in love, me duele la verdad
Lessons in love, y busco una señal

Lessons in love, me dices que te vas
Lessons in love, y yo no sé olvidar

Overall Meaning

The song "Lessons In Love" by Raphael talks about a relationship that has gone sour and the two people involved are trying to understand what went wrong. The lyrics are introspective and reflective as the singer wonders where the love that once existed between them has gone. The first line of the song – "¿Dónde está nuestro amor?" (“Where is our love?”) – sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics as the singer begins to question the reasons behind the breakup. He admits that he does not know what mistake was made that led to the end of the relationship. However, he acknowledges that the truth hurts and can never be undone.

The song's chorus notes that they had dreams that they never achieved, and they could have done better, but they have learnt lessons in love. In the second verse, the singer talks about the difficulty of breaking away from the mold of their relationship, which could have led to its downfall. He believes that they waded too deep and love went overboard. The bridge is an appeal to use the time they have before them wisely and not let the future pass them by. The chorus repeats the need to learn from their failed relationship and not be lost without love.

Where is our love?

No sé bien cuál fue el error
I don't know exactly what went wrong

And even though the truth hurts

Nunca tiene vuelta atrás
It never goes back

Lifeboat lies lost at sea
Our relationship is like a lost lifeboat at sea

I've been trying to reach your shore
I've been trying to mend our relationship

All the plans we had for our future together

We never fulfilled them
We never achieved them

Could be better, should be better
Our relationship could have been better

We have to learn from our mistakes

For restless eyes egos burn
Our egos are getting in the way of our relationship

And the mold is hard to break
It's hard to change the way our relationship is going
