1) A Japanese visual kei band

A Japanese symphonic metal band formed in 2007. Versailles' key characteristics are their rococo-esque costumes, dueling guitar sounds and heavy but melodic arrangements. The concept is a formula of "absolute beauty and extreme aestheticism". The duel guitars sound like rose vines grown riot over an agitated rhythm. Those sounds sketch the story of "The Descendants of the Rose". In August 2008, the band had to change their name because of a trademark issue in the USA. Another artist there called themselves Versailles, and warned the band through their lawyer not to use the name in American territory. So the band added "Philharmonic Quintet" after the name Versailles. Versailles was formed by KAMIJO (vocals), HIZAKI and TERU (guitars), Jasmine You (bass) and YUKI (drums). On August 9th, 2009, bassist Jasmine You suddenly passed away, only 30 years old. Due to this tragic event, the planned major debut on Warner Music Japan was delayed to January 2010. In September 2010, Versailles announced that their temporary support bassist Masashi (ex- ＡＬＰＨＡ and Ａｓｈ) will be the 6th member of the band, while Jasmine You will remain an "Eternal Member" of Versailles.

2) Dianna Marie St.Hilaire, singer, songwriter and piano player.

A emotional rollercoaster of piano keys, and a devious childlike outlook, Versailles little girls all mold together to form one unique artist.

The pain and torment of a sad child come at you with each delicate racing note. Versailles is darkwave that blends the vocals and playing of Tori Amos with an 80s new wave feel. Forming a rich catacomb of deep running emotions.

Versailles is on A Gothic Acoustic Tribute To NIN, A Tribute to She Wants Revenge , Stop Me If You Think Youve Heard This One Before (Tribute to The Smiths), and Gothic Divas. Two of these songs were produced by Gregory Butler who has also produced Switchblade Symphony.

Currently Versailles just got done with new album Broken Dolls released in late 2008. This album holds 15 songs very dear to Versailles based around the emotional side of abuse in many different forms. Following this release is a book of short stories written by Versailles. These stories "Wendy's Razor Blades", "Fade", "Mars", "Broken Dolls", "Pages", and "Legion" all show a girls struggle through different types of abuse and destruction.
Versailles went on a 3 week tour through the south, southwestern and northeastern United States for the "Broken Dolls Tour". Shortly after she went on a month tour with artists Bella Morte and Ego Likeness across the United States. Versailles is currently working on a new EP to be released in 2010 with producer Eric Greedy.

The Love from a Dead Orchestra
Versailles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The black sea traces the howling of the wind
In these intervals
The memories, changed into roses, started to follow the present

Inside the picture, the beasts hurt each other
And they hand the memories over to the darkness

Why do these days refuse to stop like this

And turn people into something ugly?
This melody will turn into a blue tranquility
They should disappear

I'm alienated from the connection
From fascination to expectation
I can't divide the phrases
The historical facts are drawn

Those fingertips will turn into a blue tranquility
People pierce their hearts with loneliness
While I'm staring at the roses, the melody of death flows
Ah… should it fall down

Disappear Burn The ugly me
No matter how often I kill it, my body returns from the dead
If these thoughts reach I'll get rid of everything
I just want to bloom like the flawless rose

I'll come through, in the midst of this snow

The god of death is now born

Disappear Burn The ugly me
No matter how often I kill it, my body returns from the dead
If these thoughts reach I'll get rid of everything
I just want to bloom like the flawless rose

Disappear Burn The ugly me
I just want to bloom like the flawless rose

Overall Meaning

The Love from a Dead Orchestra by Versailles poetically explores the themes of memory, death, and transformation. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of the black sea being traced by the howling wind, which sets the tone for the melancholic and mysterious atmosphere of the song. The memories, turned into roses, are following the present, which may imply that the past is still very much alive and present in the singer's mind. The beasts hurting each other in the picture and handing memories over to the darkness could be a metaphor for the violence and pain of human relationships and how they can be engulfed by the shadows of memory.

The chorus, which goes "Disappear/Burn/The ugly me/No matter how often I kill it, my body returns from the dead," could be interpreted in several ways. It may be the singer's desire to escape the negative aspects of themselves and their past, which seem to constantly resurface. It could also be an allusion to the cyclical nature of life and death, the idea that nothing truly disappears or dies. The line "I just want to bloom like the flawless rose" suggests the singer's hope for transformation and growth, despite the burden of painful memories and self-perceived ugliness.

Overall, The Love from a Dead Orchestra is a complex and layered song that invites various interpretations. It delves into the themes of memory, transformation, and the cyclical nature of life and death in a poetic and thought-provoking way.
