Formed in 1991 Die In Cries was made up of Kyo(formerly of the largly influential Visual Kei band D'ERLANGER, and Saver Tiger with hide of X-Japan) on Vocals, Shin Murohime(ex. MAD CAPSULE MARKETS) on guitar, Takashi on bass, and Yukihiro(ex. Zi:Kill) on Drums. Following their breakup in 1997 the members all went on to play in other bands. The most prominant and well known of these is most likely Yukihiro who was recruited to play for the popular band L'arc~en~ciel. Kyo, Shin and Takashi all went on to form BUG, with Shin later leaving to play for SPIN and the session band Creature Creature featuring Morrie of DEAD END and Tetsu of L'arc~en~Ciel.

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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nervous" by Die in Cries describe the feeling of being anxious and jittery. The repetition of the word "Dances" can be interpreted as an allusion to the act of dancing, which can be seen as a physical manifestation of anxiety. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is prone to jealousy, and that this jealousy arises from a fear of being rejected or abandoned. The phrase "Silly Talk" could be interpreted as dismissive of these fears and anxieties, indicating a sense of frustration with oneself for feeling nervous.

The lines "What do you want of me?/I do get bored" could be seen as a cry for attention or validation, with the singer expressing a desire for someone to acknowledge their anxieties and help them to overcome them. The repetition of "Dances" and the use of whimsical and silly language throughout the lyrics could be interpreted as a coping mechanism, a way to distract oneself from one's worries and fears by embracing a lighthearted and carefree attitude.
