Welcome to Gaia! ::

It doesn't necessarily have to be your favorite one.

But what song holds the most meaning for you? And do say why, be it the subject of the song, or just the way that Kyo sings it, or for whatever reason you have.

You don't just have to pick one (I certainly can't) but try to keep it within three, if you can.

For me, it'd probably be OBSCURE, because the chaos of it and the anger in the lyrics, accompanied by the grotesque, tragic story they tell, really helps when I'm feeling upset and angry at something.

[plus Kyo doing the Robot in the live is just... heart ]

Either that or Ain't Afraid to Die, which I often listen to when I'm sad or need an emotional pick-me-up. The way you hear children singing in the background toward the end always hits a chord with me.

Yet I also like Ugly, with that epic snarl as the instrumental builds up, it's like something that hurts you is breaking.

(yeahh, within three. whee )

Sooo, anyone?

*nodnod* I agree, especially with mushi. It makes me want to curl up in a little ball and cry, it's so good to listen to when you're sad. Especially the live... @__@

The live was intense, ne? Kyo's so awesome >.<

That's something I wish more people could understand about Diru, when they say they're disgusted by Kyo's self destruction, or that they're disturbed and horrified by the lyrical content.

They write about those things for a reason.

To let people know that life isn't always sunshine and rainbows.

They make their music for themselves, but also for the unhappy people, the sad ones, the lonely, the scared... to let them know that someone feels as horribly as they do. Or at least that someone understands.

And maybe it helps them come to terms with their emotions, as you did.

I admire them for their boldness in making music like they do. I idolize them for being raw and not what pop culture in any country really wants, just so they can be what they want.

And really, that's all that matters. It's all that should matter to us, as fans, too, for all those who left them when they dropped Vis Kei.

*sigh* I love them so... heart

Oh man, same with Ain't Afraid to Die. Just... that ending... Gosh.

I always say when people ask about me, my feelings and such concerning my musical taste that "Listen to the songs Kodou, Amber, and 24 Cylinders, look up the translation on Tsukiyo, than come back and ask the question again."

Basically, Kodou is the song that is me. Normally I wouldn't talk about this so openly, but the truth is that my life came crushing down on me last October, when my father moved out of the household to live with his new gf. First thing that caught me in Kodou was the PV, back than I didn't have any CDs to listen to. After I received Withering... I listened to Kodou over and over. Trust me, that scream Kyo does after that slow part in the song just tore me apart and rebuilt what was left over. I felt like he was screaming out all my hurt I couldn't find the words for myself. I must say, reading the lyrics immediately caused me to identify the song with my feelings, even though I knew perfectly well that Kyo writes and sings for himself and whatnot.

Amber is another story. VULGAR was the last album I got, now it's my favorite. When I first heard Amber it was the live of the song on Code of VULGAR[ism]. Kyo mesmerized me with his hands; when he was imitating the tears falling from his eyes. On VULGAR I always listen to Amber over and over: how it starts, it has that unique sound to it. Kyo's deep voice just reaches down straight to my heart and my soul. I spent many hours reading the lyrics. Finally, I came up with my own interpretation - which I'm not going to get into here, due to the length and the fact that I don't feel like giving it out just now.

24 Cylinders is me because it describes basically the same feelings as Kodou. I love that it's a long and deep song, Kyo's voice again and always is mesmerizing, and the way this piece of music sounds like flying on an airplane and being still enjoyable is what makes it a true masterpiece. I don't know whether this sentense made sense though, gomen ne.
Also, the line "Your voice is unreachable, my voice is unreachable..." just makes me fall in love with song over and over, every time I listen to it.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but finally I have written something whole hearted here.

The most meaningful song to me is...probably Koudo. It was the first song from WtD that I heard...and it's what brought me backk to life. Before this song and Diru I had shut all my emotions off and wasn't able to cry or express anger properly anymore. Upon hearing this song....for some reason, I was alive again. Even before I knew the meaning, it crawled into my heart and my soul and my mind and made me human again....everything following this just helped me more. I still listen to this, and others when I can't cry and need to....

I know this sound melodramatic....but....it's true, yo.
