While Die In Cries was a success in Japan, their time of activity was such that they were not able to reach a wider international audience. For this reason, many modern visual kei and japanese rock fans outside of Japan are unaware of the band, and they have inadvertantly been portrayed as a smaller less sucessful act than what they were.

die in cries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
その存在じゃなくて
今にも泣き出しそうな この空模様
まったく今日は なにしても
うまくいかない
転かした ダイスにまで
フられちまう
Better Than Nothing' anytime
黒い服を着た厄病神が笑う
幸運の女神に ニラミきかせ
ビビらせて
まったく 空模様まで
Blueにさせる
お気に入りのD.J.も 御機嫌ななめ
本当に今日はなにしても
うまくいかない
いくらあわせても NOIZE だらけ
Better Than Nothing' anytime
Better Than Nothing' everyday
愛しい女神の祝福のKISS 縁が無い
やる事 なす事 ウラメにでちまう
何をしても うまくいかないけど
何もないよりは ずっとましだぜ
黒い服を着た厄病神が笑う
やる事 なす事 ウラメにでちまう
何をしても うまくいかないけど
何もないよりは
何をしても うまくいかないけど
何もないよりは ずっとましだぜ
Better Than Nothing'
The lyrics of "Better Than Nothing" by Die in Cries convey the feeling of frustration and powerlessness when everything seems to go wrong. The singer implies that even though the day is not going well, it's still better than having nothing at all. The presence of the "black-clad god of misfortune" and the singer's melancholic observations of the weather enhance the feeling that something is off. The words suggest that even the favorite D.J. and Lady Luck are not on the singer's side.
Additionally, the song suggests that even though the world may seem bleak, it's still better to push through the hard times than give up on everything. The repeated title, "Better Than Nothing," illustrates that the singer has determined that doing something is better than doing nothing at all, even if the outcome is unfavorable. The singer uses concepts such as luck, misfortune, and disappointment to create a feeling of despair that highlights the message of hope in the face of adversity captured in the song.

どれもこれも名曲過ぎますよね♪
monoaudze
@キジキジ それはそう。
LUXAETERNA 777
今聞いても素晴バンドだな
日本ではダイクラ、デランジェ、クレイズ大好きだった
海外ではアングラ、ハロウィン、ストラトヴァリウスなどをひたすらに聞いてた
あの頃に戻りたい！

DIE IN CRIES＝青春だった10代
タロウ
シングルカットできそうな曲、実際シングルになった代表曲等でなおかつ全体的にスローなテンポに落ちないような全体像も考えた面白い選曲ですね
monoaudze
ありがとうございます！ブレンドできる曲を選びました。
5ルート
好きな曲ばっかりの編集ですね。ダイインクライズは、やっぱりカッコいいですね。水晶の瞬間も入れて欲しかったなあ。笑
monoaudze
ありがとね。正直なところ、彼らの"Visage"アルバムのファンではありませ。
ジムたん
こう聞くとユキヒロって良くも悪くも音変わってないわかる
ドラムでだれが叩いてるかわかるってそうそういないので、唯一無二のドラマーなんだね
