Luna Sea is one of the most successful japanese rock bands ever, but its a pity that they have disbanded several years ago. I still listen to their music ever now and then, but my collection is really limited, and i wldn't mind forking out a bit of money if i can get my hands on some of their fantastic albums. I think they used to be called lunacy, i know nil abt the band's history. I'm only enthralled by the music they produced.

I seldom get sick of their songs, and my favourite songs include gravity, I for You and Love Song. Gravity's bass guitar is really good, i will listen to the bass guitar part whenever this song plays on my computer. I for you and Love song have such wonderful lyrics that actually reduced me to tears when i saw the translated lyrics today. Its like a drama enfolding as the song is being sung by the lead singer who has a unique vocal loaded with loads of "pi ying". Can you imagine me sitting @ my desk, with tonnes of papers lying ard and sitting there with tears flowing down my cheeks, as i read the translations, and trying so hard not to make it obvious tt i'm crying, cos my roomie is in. Really, silly right?

Go visit this link if u are interested to see the translation.

"Nee, hontou wa dare mo, nee aisenai to iwarete"

The truth is, i was told "I can't love anybody anymore."

"yatto sono imi ni kizuite"

I finally understood/realised that meaning.

These two verses just hit me. It's like deja vu. Makes me think of somebody in particular but he dun matter to me anymore. It's almost like i heard the same thing b4, by some many other people including myself.

People who have been hurt and wounded by love, are often the people who have an idealistic expecation or naive view about love initally. Like, "if i love this person this much, the other person will love me that much too". Well, it depends on the person who you have fallen for, if he/she has no hidden agendas, then God bless you, ur eyes boh tah stamp.

Anyway, my point is all of us have a choice to remain positive or turn negative when negative/bad experiences happen to us. For some, they remain cheerful and believe that something better will come their way, and all is not lost. For some, they turn skeptical and critical easily and let their experience get the better of them. "all men are jerks" is one sentence said by many ladies, including myself. Sweeping statements said in a moment's anger just to satiate one's depression, fury and cynical opinions abt the opposite gender.

Some dun say biased and sweeping statements, but the change in them is much more lethal. They put on the hateful behaviour of those who hurt them initially and go ard hurting other pple, saying the same hurtful words that were being said to them. Do you realised that when you say "I can't love anymore", you are actually closing the door of your heart, putting a lock to ur emotion chamber and refusing to believe that there is actually someone out there who really accepts u for who u are, and just wants to love you the way you are. Or maybe u're lying ur way out, so you can reject the person nicely.

I think i understand why these people refuse to let other pple into their hearts, bcos there is always the possibility of getting hurt and the feeling of disappointment and sorrow when a beloved friend or person betrays them repetitively. Humanity is sinful by nature, the human soul is corrupted beyond imagination. At times of temptation or in a moment's spur, people err. sometimes the magnitude of that error is so huge, it's called a crime.

I've been told the exact same thing as what you are reading in the lyrics. I'm sad, sad not bcos i was rejected and maybe tricked. But i m sad bcos that person changed into such a person. He may not look like it on the surface, but if you probe deep enough and look longer, you actually realised that he was behaving the same way his ex-gf treated him in the ltr part of the r/s. You can label this behaviour as a fear of commitment, a fear that no love is perfect or compatible for him, a fear of getting hurt in the process of loving somebody else other than himself or just pure selfishness.

No, dun get me wrong, i m not interested in that person anymore. I'm just attracted by this song and its saddness that my old memories were suddenly recalled. It doesn't matter if two pple met, and the r/s didn't last long a lifetime. It doesn't matter cos this is our fate. Things happen, so you learn from every experience, and not shut down emotionally and hurt other pple in the process. It doesn't matter if you really loved the other party alot, cos that was oredi in the past, and the other party dun love you anymore and probably dun give a damn abt u now. Some exes probably sit there and wonder how much money he/she spent on you and hope they get their money back by aggressively pursuing you for their belongings and long-over dued debts. It doesn't matter if we exist just so that we will be sad, bcos this is part and parcel of life. There will always be happier things and important pple called friends who will always be there for you. It's just a different kind of love and different degree of commitment and understanding. I've always been told, "your eyes tah stamp ah". So dun make the same mistake as i did.
