Blemish

The song 'Blemish' by the GazettE delves deep into the tumultuous emotions of self-loathing, regret, and the desire for rebirth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their past, feeling an overwhelming sense of shame and a desperate need to escape from their own history. The repeated phrase 'I want to kill the past' underscores the protagonist's intense wish to erase their previous mistakes and start anew. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines 'Redo the pain, pain, start all over,' suggesting a cyclical struggle with their inner turmoil.

The raw and explicit language used in the song, such as 'Shit fuck' and 'God damn it fuck,' conveys a sense of frustration and helplessness. These outbursts reflect the protagonist's internal battle and their inability to understand why they are trapped in this cycle of pain and shame. The plea 'Leave me alone' and the imagery of crying in the shadow of their distorted self ('Yugamu jibun no kage ni koe wo koroshi naita') highlight the isolation and despair they feel.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist's plea for help becomes more pronounced. The mention of a 'goddess' speaking to them in darker dreams suggests a glimmer of hope or a higher power offering guidance. However, the repeated cries of 'Please' and the final 'Fuck you' indicate a struggle between seeking salvation and succumbing to their inner demons. The song's intense emotional landscape and the desire for rebirth ('I want to be reborn') resonate with anyone who has faced their own inner battles and yearned for a fresh start.
