In many ways, Synth R.I.U. sounds very typical of what you would hear in any dance club or rave. Their electronic music is fast-paced with enough little turns in the beat to be both danceable and listenable. The chants add icing on the cake. Sometimes as on “Hambha” from Trance Buddha Nation Project the chant is barely discernable as a background drone. On The title track of Rush!, the chant is more in the foreground and tends to lead the electronics rather than follow. “Rescue Me” is my favorite track from Psygoque with it mellower beat and lyrical chanting. Yam Cha is a bit of an exception from the other three albums as it’s source music appears to be popular Japanese music rather than Buddhist chants. If I had to choose one of these albums to start with, my choice would be Trance Buddhist Nation Project but they are all interesting.

Birth
Synth R.I.U. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

몇 번을 다시 태어나도
우리 여전히 운명일까
덩굴처럼 손가락 걸고
했던 약속을 기억할까 oh

엇갈린 시간을 헤매여도
너에게 닿을 수 있다면 ah
나는 아득한 우주에 던져져도

그냥 괜찮을 것 같아 oh ya

다음 생에 넌 꽃으로 태어나
Oh 나는 바람으로 불어올게
네 주변에 스치듯 머물다가
Oh 향기처럼 그저 흩어질게 eh

다음 생에도 내가 널 찾아 갈게
Oh 우연 같은 필연으로 또 만나 우리

Oh 너를 쳐다본다는 건 담아두고 싶은 거야
행여 잊어버릴까 봐 간직하고 싶은 거야
언젠가 네가 없는 하루를 살아가기 위해
내가 무너지지 않게 기억하고 싶은 거야
널 안아준다는 건 기다려 달라는 거야
혹시 나 없는 세상을 서러워 말라는 거야
수 천 번 다시 살아도 너를 찾아갈 테니
처음 사랑하듯 사무치게 끌어안을 거야

엇갈린 시간을 헤매여도
너에게 닿을 수 있다면
나는 아득한 우주에 던져져도
그냥 괜찮을 것 같아 oh ya

다음 생에 넌 꽃으로 태어나
Oh 나는 바람으로 불어올게
네 주변에 스치듯 머물다가
Oh 향기처럼 그저 흩어 질게 eh

난 항상 니 곁에 있을게
그러니 마음 놓아도 돼
Hmm yeah 봄 같은 온기를 품에 가득 안고서
너 있는 곳으로 찾아 갈게
또 만나 우리 (또 만나 우리)

다음 생에 넌 꽃으로 태어나
Oh 나는 바람으로 불어올게
네 주변에 스치듯 머물다가
Oh 향기처럼 그저 흩어질게 eh

다음 생에도 내가 널 찾아갈게
Oh 우연 같은 필연으로 또 만나 우리

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Synth R.I.U.'s song "Birth" explore the concept of reincarnation and the idea of finding a soulmate, even across different lives. The opening lines ask whether, even after being born multiple times, the two individuals are still destined to be together.
