Trivia: ZI:KILL could never keep a drummer, and went through four before their breakup in 1994, one of which was Yukihiro of L'Arc~en~Ciel/DIE IN CRIES who joined the band in 1990, and left in 1998 after recording Desert Town (ZI:KILL's second major release). He was replaced by Tetsu who was replaced by Eby who was with them when they dispersed. ZI:KILL essentially became CRAZE with Seiichi, Tusk and Tetsu.

For me
ZI:KILL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰かにわかってほしくて
くだらない現実と今も
たたかって生きてくんだね
はがいじめにされた夢は
全て黒い影になっちまう
待ちわびたこの瞬間を
ただひとり眺め噛みしめてる
俺には聞こえやしないから
奴らを睨みつけただけで変わるなら
泣きやんで Just get away
起き上がる度に少しづつだけど
未来を見せられて
スロットの中の俺の顔が
ぐちゃぐちゃになってしまう
つまらない事だって
あなたは僕の前で言ってたね
手を上げて檻の中の野獣を
今こそ叩きつけろ
大きな雲に追われて
逃げ出す夢を見せられた
次々に飛び出す俺の声が消されてく
泣きやんで Just get away
誇らしげにずっと時は流れ
僕をおいたまま
誰もそばにいなくなったのに
俺は逃げてゆく For me
誇らしげにずっと時は流れ
僕をおいたまま
誰もそばにいなくなったのに
俺は逃げてゆく
ガラスに包まれ僕の今が
僕に消されてく
願い事がかなえられたのに
俺は泣きじゃくる For me
The lyrics to ZI:KILL's song For me are emotionally charged and express the feelings of desperation and isolation that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines reveal that the singer wants someone to understand everything they are capable of doing. They are fighting against the mundane reality of their life, and it seems like they feel misunderstood and unappreciated.
The next few lines talk about a dream that the singer had which was crushed by bullies, and how the dream has become a black shadow. Now the singer is alone, watching and savoring this moment they've been waiting for, but they know that they won't be heard even if they scream. The lyrics also mention how every time the singer gets up, they only see a distorted and chaotic reflection of themselves in a slot machine.
Later, the lyrics suggest that even if the singer accomplished something small, their future would still be uncertain, and they would still be stuck in a cage. The last lines talk about the singer's current state, how they're trapped and isolated, and even though their wish was granted, they're still crying for themselves.
Overall, the song seems to express the frustration and anxiety of being trapped in a mundane, unfulfilling existence, and the desire to break free.
Line by Line Meaning
I want someone to understand everything I can do
And so I fight against this mundane reality
Dreams that were crushed become black shadows
While I savor this long-awaited moment alone
I'm sure that it won't sound the same to me
If staring down those guys could bring about a change
I cry and beg them to just get away
Each time I get up, I get a glimpse of the future
The face of me inside the slot machine becomes mushed
You said even trivial things
Raise your hands and bang on the wild beast in the cage
The dreams I have of fleeing pursued by large clouds
The numerous voices of me that take flight are cut off
I cry and beg them to just get away
Proudly, time continues to flow without me
Even though everyone has left my side
I run away, for me
Wrapped in glass, my present fades away
Even though my wish was granted
I cry and sob, for me
