Prince Of Necrophilia

Kamui Gakupo's song 'Prince Of Necrophilia' delves into the macabre and hauntingly beautiful theme of eternal love, even beyond death. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is deeply in love with someone who has passed away, and this love drives them to preserve the deceased in a glass coffin. The imagery of a 'glass coffin' is reminiscent of fairy tales like Snow White, but with a darker twist, as the protagonist's desire to keep their beloved forever leads to a chilling form of preservation.

The song explores the protagonist's internal conflict and their desperate attempts to keep their love alive. Lines like 'kooritsuita hoho ni atsuku kuchizuke you' (I will kiss your frozen cheeks warmly) and 'kuchibiru ni fureta nara anata wa mezamete shimau' (if I touch your lips, you will awaken) suggest a longing for the impossible – to bring the dead back to life. This desire is further emphasized by the repeated vows to protect and preserve the beloved's body, even if it means going to extreme lengths, such as 'tsuranuite nuitomeru' (piercing through to stop you from moving).

The song also touches on themes of time and decay, with the protagonist acknowledging that even the most beautiful things will eventually fade. The lines 'donna ni utsukushii anata mo sugite yuku toki ni tada nagasare tsuzukete tokete yuku darou' (no matter how beautiful you are, time will continue to flow and you will melt away) reflect a poignant acceptance of the inevitable passage of time. However, the protagonist's love is so intense that they wish to defy this natural process, seeking to 'eternally' preserve their beloved, as seen in 'eien ni haritsukeru' (to eternally pin you down).

Kamui Gakupo's 'Prince Of Necrophilia' is a haunting exploration of love, loss, and the lengths one might go to preserve a cherished memory. The song's dark romanticism and gothic imagery create a compelling narrative that captivates the listener, drawing them into a world where love transcends the boundaries of life and death.
