Sick

Deathgaze's song 'Sick' delves deep into the themes of inner turmoil, existential despair, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The lyrics are a raw and visceral expression of pain and confusion, with the repeated use of the word 'sick' symbolizing a state of mental and emotional distress. The opening lines, 'いたずらに突き刺してくれ my sick / 光が揺れない ここには答えもない,' set the tone for the song, suggesting a sense of hopelessness and a lack of answers in the face of suffering.

The song's imagery is dark and intense, with references to a 'vast bad forgiven machine' and a 'vast hard cultic machine,' which can be interpreted as metaphors for the oppressive and dehumanizing aspects of society. The lyrics '記憶の中 照らしてくれ my sick / 誰にも見せない 苦しみ覗くほどに' highlight the protagonist's struggle to confront their inner demons and the isolation that comes with it. The repeated questioning of 'どうして許されない？ どれだけまだ叫べばいい' reflects a desperate plea for understanding and redemption.

The song also touches on themes of disillusionment and defiance. The lines '俺が描いた夢と信じた明日を 全て否定するのは 何が望みなんでしょうか' express a sense of betrayal and frustration with the harsh realities of life. Despite this, there is a glimmer of resilience in the declaration '誇りだけは 誰にも譲れません,' indicating that the protagonist refuses to give up their pride and sense of self-worth. The closing lines, '涙で闇が揺れる 空に思いを忘れないように / 視界の先にただ 届け叫べ,' suggest a determination to keep fighting and to make their voice heard, even in the face of overwhelming darkness.
