Spiral

The song 'Spiral' by Blood-C delves into the depths of existential despair and the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly endless cycle of suffering. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person trapped in an 'endless night,' where the very essence of existence loses its significance. This sense of entrapment is further emphasized by the lines 'Modorenai kako Don't you dare to know,' suggesting a past that cannot be revisited or changed, and a future that remains uncertain and bleak.

The recurring theme of hopelessness is starkly presented with lines like 'Do you know that hope is fake in this world / And despair is the only truth I've got.' This sentiment is a powerful commentary on the human condition, where the protagonist feels that any semblance of hope is merely an illusion, and the only constant is despair. The use of multiple languages, including Japanese, French, and English, adds a layer of universality to the song's message, indicating that this struggle is not confined to one culture or language but is a shared human experience.

Despite the overwhelming sense of despair, there is a glimmer of resistance and a desire for liberation. The lines 'Genkai kowashitai That's my last scream / Sakerenai Reality / No Pain No Gain zettai kousen' reflect a final, desperate attempt to break free from this cycle. The mention of 'Apocalypse maintenant' (Apocalypse now) suggests a longing for an end to this suffering, even if it means complete destruction. The song's raw and intense emotions, combined with its dark and haunting melody, create a powerful narrative of struggle, despair, and the faint hope for freedom.
