Falling

The song 'Falling' by the GazettE delves into the depths of human despair and the struggle to find meaning amidst chaos. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a descent into darkness, both metaphorically and literally. The opening lines, 'Since then how long / Do you know, how long it's been?' suggest a prolonged period of suffering or confusion. The phrase '混沌の底へ飛び込もう' (Let's dive into the depths of chaos) further emphasizes the willingness to confront this turmoil head-on, despite the fear and uncertainty it brings.

The recurring theme of the past haunting the present is evident in lines like '過去解きゆがむ悲鳴 駆け違えたMind' (The screams of the past distort, a mind gone astray). This suggests that the protagonist is grappling with unresolved issues or traumas that continue to affect their mental state. The imagery of 'Stuck in my head 過去という亡霊に堕落し狂う' (Stuck in my head, falling and going mad due to the ghost of the past) highlights the inescapable nature of these memories and their destructive impact.

Despite the overwhelming sense of despair, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience. The lines 'We just believe in ourselves to die / I know you were the same' indicate a shared experience of pain and a mutual understanding. The idea of being 'reborn again' suggests that through this process of falling and breaking apart, there is potential for renewal and transformation. The song ultimately encourages embracing the darkness and facing it with open eyes, as seen in 'さあ目を開けて落ちていこう' (Now, open your eyes and let's fall).
