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.

Se que has vivido tu vida lo mismo que yoQue has disfrutado y llorado con mas de un amorPero si de tu pasado decides hablarNo tendras el valor de decir la verdad
Me diran que jamas te besaronMe diran que jamas te adoraronQue pasaste la vida esperandoSin amor, me diran, sin amor
Me diran que mi amor fue el primeroQue fui yo quien te dio el primer besoMentiran al decir todo esoY jamas la verdad me diran
Me diras que mi amor fue el primeroQue fui yo quien te dio el primer besoMentiras al decir todo esoY jamas la verdad me diras

Overall Meaning

The song "Me Dirás" by Raphael captures the emotions of doubt, skepticism and insecurity about a lover's past. The lyrics depict a protagonist who suspects that his partner is hiding something about her past relationships. The singer acknowledges that both he and his partner have experienced the highs and lows of love including joy, heartbreak, passion and disappointment, but he is unable to shake off his suspicions. He challenges his partner to share the truth about her past, but he is convinced that she will not be truthful, and instead, will deny having loved or been loved before.

The lyrics imply that the singer's fear of betrayal is rooted in his fear of being insignificant or unmemorable to his partner. The line "Me dirán que jamás te adoraron" (They will tell me that they never adored you) highlights the singer's insecurities about being less worthy of love and passion than the partners who came before him. He argues that his partner will lie about her past to make him feel like he is the only person who has ever truly loved her. The final lines, "Me dirás que mi amor fue el primero/Mentiras al decir todo eso/Y jamás la verdad me dirás" (You will tell me that my love was the first/Lies when you say all that/And you will never tell me the truth), reveal the singer's fear that he will never know the truth about his lover's past.

Overall, "Me Dirás" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of trust, vulnerability and insecurity in romantic relationships. The song portrays the universal human struggle to accept that the people we love have a past that can sometimes challenge our sense of self-worth and identity.
