Dogma

The song 'Dogma' by the GazettE is a powerful exploration of themes such as disillusionment, rebellion, and the rejection of falsehoods. The lyrics are steeped in dark imagery and metaphors, painting a picture of a world shrouded in deceit and corruption. The opening lines, '不敗した化けの皮 罪は水滴のようか おびただしく転がる同族は欲の死骸,' suggest a facade that has been unmasked, revealing the true nature of sin and the consequences of unchecked desire. This sets the tone for a narrative that challenges established norms and beliefs.

The repeated phrase 'I deny everything' serves as a powerful declaration of defiance. It signifies a complete rejection of the lies and falsehoods that have been perpetuated. The lyrics '闇を纏いここは祇に向かう そこに真実があると' suggest a journey into darkness in search of truth, indicating that the path to enlightenment is fraught with challenges and requires confronting uncomfortable realities. The imagery of '半狂乱の暴徒思想くらい 混ざらぬ黒」で塗り潰す' further emphasizes the chaos and turmoil that accompany this quest for authenticity.

The song also delves into the concept of idolization and the consequences of blind faith. Lines like '血を這う未来闇と前 偶像となり確信へ' and '神を堕としいここに死を捧げる' highlight the dangers of elevating false idols and the inevitable downfall that follows. The GazettE uses stark, vivid language to convey a sense of urgency and the need for a radical shift in perspective. The closing lines, 'I will blacken out this world Darkness in the world Starts tonight,' encapsulate the song's overarching message of rejecting the status quo and embracing a new, albeit darker, reality.
