Doubt & Trust

The song 'Doubt & Trust' by D.Gray-Man delves into the complex interplay between light and darkness, truth and deception, and the internal struggles that accompany these dualities. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey without a clear end, where peace is a distant, almost unattainable concept. This sense of endless pursuit and isolation is encapsulated in the lines '終わりも見えず走り抜ける / 安らぎは遠く姿もなく' (Running without seeing the end / Peace is far away, without form).

The song explores the theme of loneliness and the barriers we erect to protect ourselves from it. The imagery of '孤独を封じ込めて / 閉ざしかける眼差し' (Sealing away loneliness / Eyes that are about to close) suggests a struggle to keep loneliness at bay, even as it threatens to overwhelm. The sky that welcomes those who spread their wings symbolizes freedom and the courage to face control without fear, as seen in '羽ばたくものを迎える空 / 支配されるのを恐れやしない' (The sky that welcomes those who fly / Not afraid of being controlled).

The chorus highlights the inherent contradictions in life: '光の下 / 闇は生まれ / 真実は偽りに揺れる' (Under the light / Darkness is born / Truth wavers in falsehood). This juxtaposition of light and dark, truth and lies, reflects the internal conflict of the human heart, which is further emphasized by the imagery of a night that freezes dreams and desires. The song suggests that even in the face of pain and sin, there is a call to believe and trust, as expressed in '君の罪と痛みを / 信じていく' (Believing in your sins and pain).

The lyrics also touch on the insatiable nature of human desire and the consequences of pursuing it without regard for what is lost along the way. The voice that whispers '全部欲しいと囁く声 / 失くしてくことに追いつけずに' (The voice that whispers 'I want it all' / Unable to keep up with losing things) speaks to the relentless pursuit of more, often at the cost of what truly matters. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the eternal scars left by love and the promises made, suggesting that these marks are an integral part of our journey, as seen in '誓うものをが / 永遠の傷で構わない / 刻み付けて' (What we swear / Eternal scars are fine / Carve them in).
