[subbed] Dir en grey - Zakuro

“Zakuro“ - “Pomegranate“ Notes: 1) Looking at the polite forms, this song is probably told from the point of view of a girl. EDIT: I’ve found proof for my hypothesis in an interview from 2003 where Kyo has stated: “I suppose I wanted to express just how painful it was. “Zakuro“ is told from the point of view of girl, but I put myself in the place of the girl when I write that kind of thing.“ (READ Magazine, October 23, 2003) 2) “The title of this song comes not necessarily from the pomegranate fruit but a sort of slang usage of the word which uses the image of the pomegranate, a fruit with lush blood red meat, to describe a wound. In this case the zakuro is clearly a self inflicted wound, likely a suicide attempt.“ - centigrade-j
