Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the GazettE's song "13STAIRS1" revolve around a sense of frustration and rebellion against societal norms and expectations. The opening lines talk about a decaying mindset and a detachment from the ordinary world, suggesting a feeling of isolation and disconnection from the mainstream. The mention of discrimination against music hints at the idea of artists being criticized and misunderstood for their unconventional ideas and expressions.

The song continues with a strong tone of defiance, as it criticizes the brainwashing of individuals and the concept of conforming to societal standards. The lyrics imply a rejection of authority and a desire for individuality and personal freedom. The repeated phrases "commit suicide in with-it-ness" and "suck my dick" can be seen as provocative statements, meant to challenge and provoke a reaction from the listener.

Throughout the song, there is a theme of self-awareness and a call to reject the expectations imposed by others. The lines "know yourself" and "shame on you" reflect a desire for individuals to understand their true selves and not be swayed by the opinions or demands of others. The final lines suggest a belief that the music industry is deteriorating and that the true artists, the "losers," are singing their own songs in hell, indicating a sense of rebellion against the mainstream music industry.
