Le Ciel

Malice Mizer's 'Le Ciel' is a song that seems to evoke the themes of loss, memory, and the ephemeral nature of life. The lyrics, sung in Japanese, paint a picture of being led by a gentle song, with pure white tears flowing and being blown by the wind, marking the passage of time. This imagery suggests a sense of purity and innocence being affected by the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings.

The song continues to describe eyes that know no impurity, reflecting an endless land, and small fingers tracing the remnants of forgotten tears. This could symbolize a connection to something pure and unchanging, perhaps a loved one or an ideal, that remains untainted despite the world's changes. The mention of a voice that is thin and clear, which refuses to let go, adds to the feeling of a deep, unbreakable bond. However, there is also an acknowledgment of the impossibility of remaining in this state forever, hinting at a separation or an end.

The recurring theme of tears as words of farewell, and the desire to hold on more strongly until the speaker returns to the sky or fades away, reinforces the idea of a parting. The song seems to be about the pain of saying goodbye, the desire to hold on to memories, and the struggle to let go. The singer's promise to never forget and the plea to be held tightly so as not to disappear, speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with the impermanence of life and relationships.
