Crisis
ViViD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

深きを知らぬ criminal 白を黒に
魔性の雨降り注ぎ傷跡を残す

名も無き追憶の monument
ただ祈るだけが虚しく
決して壊れぬ物が壊れてく
紙一重の幸せと不幸
そしてまた旅に出る

Swallowed by a world in crisis

繰り返される subliminal 黒を白に
霧がかった支配者に踊らされている

名も無き追憶の monument
ただ祈るだけが虚しくて
決して壊れぬ物が壊れてく
紙一重の幸せと不幸
そしてまた旅に出る
Swallowed by a world in crisis

まだ見ぬ蒼白のオブジェ
見えるものだけの世界
決して交わる事のない言葉
紙一重の現実と夢に

惑わされ旅に出る
Swallowed by a world in crisis

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from ViViD's song "CRISIS" delve into themes of darkness, deception, and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world. The first verse portrays a criminal who is oblivious to the consequences of their actions and can turn innocence into corruption. The line "魔性の雨降り注ぎ傷跡を残す" (Mashou no amefuri sosogi kizuato wo nokosu) suggests that this person's influence is like a dangerous rain that leaves scars behind.

The following lines describe a nameless monument of distant memories, where only prayers feel futile. It portrays a sense of helplessness as even the seemingly unbreakable things are gradually falling apart. The phrase "紙一重の幸せと不幸" (Kamihitoe no shiawase to fukou) expresses the delicate balance between happiness and misfortune. Despite these challenges, the song expresses the resolve to embark on a journey once again, feeling swallowed by a world in crisis.

The chorus continues the theme of manipulation and deception, as the "subliminal" messages repeat, turning black into white. The imagery of dancing under the control of a hazy ruler suggests the lack of agency and the influence of external powers.

The final verse introduces an unseen pale object, representing an unfamiliar and unexplored reality. The world presented is one where only visible things exist, and words that should never intersect remain separate. The line "紙一重の現実と夢に惑わされ旅に出る" (Kamihitoe no genjitsu to yume ni madowasare tabi ni deru) expresses the confusion of being swayed between the thin line of reality and dreams, prompting another journey into the unknown, being swallowed again by a world in crisis.

Overall, the lyrics of "CRISIS" explore the struggles of navigating a deceptive world, where things can transform from light to darkness, and where one must confront the fragile nature of happiness and embark on new journeys despite the chaos.
