the GazettE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
異形の箱を這う五つの影
葬りきれない醜い感情は獣の様
儚き夢
互いを喰らい生まれた摂理
本性を隠し偽りに成る
無言の雨と遠ざかる温度
穏やかな丘に咲く輪廻
頭蓋にこびり付く羽の生えた邪念
揺り籠から此処までの足跡は愛を知らない
本質を忘れ掴む白が正しいのなら何よりも深い黒に
四角い空の下 残骸が眠る土の上に花
美しき異形 眩い闇へ
終わりと始まり
The lyrics of GazettE's song CODA depict a beautiful yet distorted form crawling out of a box and five shadows that cannot be buried, embodying ugly emotions that resemble those of a beast. The song talks about fleeting dreams and the mutual consumption of birth and reasoning. The lyrics point to how true nature is often concealed and replaced with a facade that people present to the world. The quiet rain and the drifting temperature seem to symbolize disconnection and detachment from human emotion. The song speaks of a cycle of life that blooms on gentle hills, only to be lost in the sea of forgetfulness, caressed by impure thoughts that cling to the skull like wings.
One of the main themes of the song is the struggle to find one's true essence amidst an overly conformist society, where people often sacrifice authenticity and genuine emotion in the pursuit of social acceptance. The song highlights the beauty of the grotesque, emphasizing how true beauty often hides in the dark and that endings are just new beginnings.
