Fragments
Remembrance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait for the black veil to fall down
Dissolution is getting closer now
A piercing light
An unreachable sight blinding my eyes
Warmed by hatred
Deprived from all
I breathe in fragments of life
Through fragments of death

I am nothing
Until it swallows me again
I am no one
Until I close my eyes
I am nothing
Until it covers me again

Wipe away all traces from me
Wipe away those bruises
Give me back the pride
I know I could feel you
I heard them laugh
Now only silence will remain

A piercing light blinding my eyes
I breathe in fragments of life

I am nothing
Until it swallows me again
I am no one
Until I close my eyes




I am nothing
Until it covers me again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Fragments" by Remembrance describe a sense of impending death and dissolution, with the lines "Wait for the black veil to fall down / Dissolution is getting closer now" setting the tone for the song. The first verse describes a "piercing light" that is both blinding and unreachable, as well as a sense of being both "warmed by hatred" and "deprived from all". The chorus repeats the lines "I am nothing / Until it swallows me again / I am no one / Until I close my eyes / I am nothing / Until it covers me again". The second verse shifts to a more personal perspective, with the singer asking for their bruises to be wiped away and their pride restored. They also mention laughter that they heard, which has now been replaced by silence.


Overall, the lyrics to "Fragments" express a bleak outlook on life and death, with the idea that we are defined by our eventual demise and the feelings of nothingness that come with it. There is also a struggle for identity and a desire for recognition, as heard in the lines "Give me back the pride / I know I could feel you". It's a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the complex emotions surrounding mortality and the search for meaning in life.

僕の思考は次第に勾配を増す
闇の螺旋の中に砕け散り空へと落ちていく
深く戸惑う心の隙間を舞ながら
言葉を探して僕の罪がまた始まる

微笑み合いぼやけていく姿だけ浮かべて
足早に通り過ぎる言葉さえ見えない
少しだけ抱きしめた嘘の空を

追憶の欠片はにび色に霞んでいく
無言の悲鳴に身を震わせる
何かの終わりと色褪せた記憶だけ
抱えてあの空へ落ちていく

誰も止められない...
僕が落ちていくほんの少しだけ
今を抱きしめたから

消えかけの蝋燭のように眠りに落ちた
古い瞬きが光を放つのに耳をたてる
少しだけ抱きしめた嘘の空を

誰も今までの惨烈な軌跡など
知らない道徳がぼやけていく
「人」と詐称する僕は豊かな黒い
色彩を契れた指でなぞり合う
追憶の欠片はにび色に霞んでいく
無言の悲鳴に身を震わせる
何かの終わりと色褪せた記憶だけ
抱えてあの空へ落ちていく

誰も止められない...僕が落ちていく
誰も止められない...空に落ちていく
誰も止められない...君と落ちていく
ほんの少しだけ今を抱きしめたから

Had this burnt on a cd for me over 20 years ago now, their whole discography, burned by a friend who passed shortly after and didn’t leave the names. That cd degraded and stopped working years ago. I thought I would never find it. Even took Japanese classes to help because I couldn’t get it out of my head. It’s taken 22 years for me to find its name, and it’s worth it. Still just as amazing as the first time I heard it. Mana-sama hasn’t let me down to date.
