Regret
The GazettE(ガゼット) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ずっと繋ぎ止めてれば良かった
溢れ出して流れた物は
あの日の君と同じ色だろう
君が捨てた言葉を拾い集めて
何度も耳にあてては頷いて見せた
君を探せぬ意味と
灯るPinkのネオンに
滑稽な自分に笑えた
解けかけた糸に気付き
ずっと繋ぎ止めてれば良かった
溢れ出して流れた物は
あの日の君と同じ気がしてた
君が落とした涙を拾い集めて
何度も縋るように寂寞を酌もうと
路上にくたびれた赤い花
君とよく似たピアスの舌
君とよく似たリングを着けて
君とよく似たルージュを塗った
君と同じ色の髪をした
君とよく似た涙が見えた
君と同じ名前を叫んだんだ
指先に伝わる安らぎは虚ろ
いつかの二人は手を繋いだまま
濡れたエンドロールの中
MonochroのFilmは歌わない
繋いでいたこの手に残る
虚ろな感触の君が最期
解けかけた糸が切れて
拾い集めた言葉と眠り
溢れ出して流れた物は
きっと君と良く似てるのだろう
夢は永久に夢のままで
安らぎは常に夢の中で
The lyrics to The GazettE's song Regret speak of the pain of loss and the regret that comes with it. The singer realizes too late the importance of the thread that connected them to someone they loved. They wish they could have held onto it tighter, preventing it from unraveling. The things that flowed out with the loss are said to be the same color as the person they lost. The singer picks up the words that were cast aside by the lost one in hopes of hearing their voice again. But as they call for them, it becomes clear that their cries will soon be silenced and they find themselves laughing at their own foolishness. They try to find solace in the tears they collect and a red flower that reminds them of their loved one. The last verse indicates that the hands they once held are now empty and they are left with only a hollow shell of the one they loved.
The lyrics paint a picture of loss and the emotional pain that comes with it. The thread that is mentioned could be interpreted as the bond that the singer shared with the lost one. The color that is used in the song is a recurring theme, indicating the importance of memory and the things that the singer associates with their loved one. The flower, the piercings, and the ring that they wear are all symbols of the person they lost. The use of laughter in the song can be interpreted as a coping mechanism for the pain of the loss. The final image of the song is that of the singer's empty hands, a metaphor for the emptiness they feel without their loved one.
