Daten (堕天)

Creepy Nuts, a Japanese hip-hop duo known for their sharp lyrics and dynamic beats, presents a song that delves into themes of temptation, fall from grace, and the intoxicating spiral of forbidden experiences. 'Daten (堕天)' translates to 'Fallen Heaven,' and the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a descent into a world that is both alluring and dangerous.

The song begins with a reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, with the 'apple tree' and 'fig leaves' symbolizing the original sin and the loss of innocence. The protagonists of the song seem to be partners in crime, crossing a boundary together, which leads to a blackout—a metaphor for losing consciousness or entering an unknown realm. The repeated phrase 'Fallin', falling' suggests a continuous descent, perhaps into moral ambiguity or a state of confusion. The imagery of a spiraling skyscraper further emphasizes the dizzying and uncontrollable nature of their fall.

The lyrics also touch on the themes of transience and the fleeting nature of pleasure. The sensation of being dyed by something and then the heat fading away could represent the temporary high of indulgence followed by the inevitable comedown. The song captures the essence of being caught in a cycle of seeking out these experiences, despite the wounds that accumulate over time. The mention of 'Eden' with vacancies available hints at the idea that there is always room for more to fall from grace. The song ends with a sense of urgency to consume the intoxicating experiences before awakening from the daze, suggesting a desire to remain in the throes of this fallen state.
