Saku

Dir en Grey's song 'Saku' is a visceral and intense exploration of societal disillusionment and personal anguish. The repeated phrase 'under the sun' suggests a universal experience, something that affects everyone regardless of their individual circumstances. This repetition creates a sense of monotony and inevitability, as if the issues being addressed are inescapable and omnipresent.

The term 'Dick men' is a provocative and aggressive way to call out those in power or those who have wronged the speaker. The repeated command to 'fuck off and wipe' indicates a desire to erase or cleanse these negative influences from one's life. This could be interpreted as a call for rebellion against oppressive forces or a personal struggle to reclaim one's sense of self and past happiness, as indicated by the line 'Get back my merrily memory.' The use of explicit language underscores the raw emotion and frustration felt by the speaker.

The Japanese lyrics add another layer of complexity, describing a scene where people laugh and walk over corpses, and ants swarm over a lily flower. These vivid and disturbing images evoke a sense of decay and moral corruption. The mention of 'cruelty' and 'ashes and tears' in the hands of those who cannot save anything further emphasizes the hopelessness and despair that permeate the song. The contrast between the sun, a symbol of life and hope, and the dark themes of the lyrics creates a powerful juxtaposition that highlights the song's central message of disillusionment and the search for a better future.
