Deux

The song 'Deux' by the GazettE delves into themes of despair, inner conflict, and the struggle against overwhelming darkness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person standing at the edge of hopelessness, grappling with their inner demons and the harsh realities of life. The repeated references to 'インフェルノ' (Inferno) and 'nightmare' suggest a hellish, nightmarish state of mind where the protagonist feels trapped and tormented.

The phrase 'You're my enemy' indicates a deep-seated internal conflict, possibly between the protagonist's desires and their harsh reality. The 'Scary night' and 'Split mind' further emphasize the mental anguish and the duality of their existence. The lyrics also touch upon themes of isolation and brokenness, as seen in lines like 'こころがこわれてしまった' (my heart is broken) and 'かもくとねむれこわれたまま' (sleep silently, still broken). This suggests a profound sense of loneliness and a struggle to find peace within oneself.

The song also explores the idea of surrendering to despair, as indicated by the lines 'さあとびおりたさきの「おわり」にみとれ' (be captivated by the 'end' you jumped into) and 'We will die.' This fatalistic outlook is a stark reminder of the protagonist's resignation to their fate. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the line 'きみはぼくのゆめとなる' (you will become my dream), suggesting that even in the depths of despair, there is a longing for connection and a dream of something better.
