Release Hallucination Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
漂う潔癖な香り ここは人工のエデン
傷痕痛みをなくす錠剤じゃ効かなくて
たまらない叫び声で今日も部屋を満たす
怯える僕を見て 嫌に赤い唇で嘲笑う
僕の罪を数えるかのようにちらついて
僕らは壊れた人形 粛清に囚われた
あたりを火の海にして 贖うなんて出来るの？
震えた銃口の先 更にその先の未来は
大人も幼い子供も 全部お構いなしで
彼らが語る理由は納得には足らなくて
引き金引いた重みが容赦なく絡みつく
穢れたこの身を 幾度神に懺悔しても終わらない
世界のどこかで あぁ過ちが繰り返す
黙して壊れた人形 降り注ぐ断罪に
抗う言葉もないの 正義の定義は何処だ
意識すらも毒牙にかけて
戻る事ができたなら 恐れずに自分を持てるのか
生き残る僕らは壊れた人形 粛清に囚われた
あたりを火の海にして 贖うなんて出来るの？
黙して壊れた人形 降り注ぐ断罪に
抗う言葉もないの 正義の定義は何処だ
命すらも秤にかけて...
The lyrics of "Dolls" by Release Hallucination evoke a disturbing image of a futuristic world where people are manipulated and controlled like dolls. The song begins with a description of a sterile and artificial environment where a white-clad figure dances outside a small peephole window. This leads to a sense of confinement and entrapment. Within this environment, the singer feels helpless and vulnerable, unable to shake off the trauma inflicted on him by an unnamed authority. The repeated question, "Can we really redeem ourselves by burning everything around us?" highlights a sense of hopelessness and the futility of any individual effort to change one's fate.
The imagery of "Dolls" is dystopian and foreboding. The song reflects a sense of disorientation and confusion about the nature of reality and morality. The singer is aware of his brokenness, but he cannot identify the source or the solution. The song's lyrics are a warning of the insidious ways in which power can corrupt and erode humanity, reducing people to mere objects. The only recourse is to keep resisting, even when it seems futile, and to retain one's sense of self.
