This is one of my all time favorite GazettE songs and it has a very special place for me, because it’s the song that really, really got me into the GazettE after it came out. Even after over a decade I still remember where I was when I first listened to it and how impactful it was. I still love it to this day - songs by Uruha often have this dark quality to them that I really enjoy.
My favorite performance of it sadly can’t be uploaded to YouTube. It’s the one on The Nameless Liberty At Tokyo Dome, actually the first live DVD I ever bought. If you own it or have another way to view the performance of this song, I highly recommend it.
But being at YouTube’s mercy, I opted for their Standing Live Tour14 Heresy Limited -Pulse Wriggling To Dim Scene Scene- performance of this song that lyrically encompasses all other songs on DIM. It was requested by carolina, I hope you like it!
Translation by me.
Annotations:
“Yes, tell me the meaning of this crumbling sight“ - The first verb (“tell“) is actually left out in the original, but something along the lines of “tell“ or maybe “give“ is implied.
“Following those that escape to nought“ - This might just be a poetic way of saying he follows them until their “number reaches zero“.
“Maybe because of my numb heart“ - What Ruki reads as “kokoro“ (heart, mind) is actually the word “feelings“ (感情) in the written lyrics.
“The festering lies have been covered up too much“ - “Covered up“ is literally “painted over“.
“The demise started blooming on the wall“ - “Demise“ is actually read as “end“ in the song. (終焉 read “owari“).
“My poetry burned by loss“ - Two things here. “Poetry“ can just be translated as “song“; that’s what it’s read as. But a different kanji is used for the word than in a prior line (“The song that lights up as I close my eyes“). In this line, one that refers more explicitly to poems, poetry is used. Also, unconventional kanji are used for the word “loss“, too. Here it’s spelled with a kanji that usually refers to a funeral.
