歌詞(自分用) 解けてしまう意図を見つめ 文字に出来ない左手です 血を流す度に生きてる理由 見い出す言葉が鮮やかで 手の中には愛すべき人さえも 華々しく散って 手の中には生きた意味刻んでも 虚しき華と知る The final 一つ二つと増え続ける 何故に笑えない餌となる？ 深き獄の心 決して戻れはしない 明日を触れない自虐的敗北者 Suicide is the proof of life 手の中には愛すべき人さえも 華々しく散って 手の中には生きた意味刻んでも 虚しき華と散る So I can't live, so I can't live そう無くしたモノは So I can't live, so I can't live もう産まれない So I can't live, so I can't live 生きてる証さえ So I can't live, so I can't live 求められない歌 Let's put an end... the final 未遂の蕾咲かせよう

It's 2023, and The Final has made me cry almost every time I've listened for 18 years.

[@fireshinobi]

Seriously this song changed my entire life. I was 13 years old and a friend gave me a copy of Withering to Death and I listened to it so much that I wore out the cd. This song gives me so many emotions. I had such a hard time in life at that age and finding the Vk culture helped me get away from it all! I would give anything to see them live!

[@SarahCharade]

I feel the same. But sadly, even if you saw them live nowadays, they don't do the VK thing on stage anymore. I saw them twice (2007 and 2009) and Die literally wore jeans and an Adidas jacket on stage. :'(

[@nimbalo300]

Sarah Charade nope they played old songs in Japan

[@SarahCharade]

Yes they played old songs. But they didn't dress up like usual

[@nimbalo300]

Sarah Charade really THAT matters?

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

Sarah Charade They don't dress up because VK was a marketing gimmick for most bands, and they want people to focus more on the music than the outfits. That's not who they are and what they're about anymore

[@えりえり-j8m]

この曲を聞くと辛かった日々を 思い出して涙が出そうになります。 このバンドは京さんが痛みを 歌にしてくれていつも感動を もらってます。 これからも応援したいです。

私はTHE FINALが一番好きですね😄 今40歳でDIR EN GREYを聴き始めたのは2年ぐらい前からなのですが、偶然THE FINALの2013バージョンをKZbinで発見したのです。 まさに衝撃を受けたって感じです！ 今まで聴いたことのない曲。 ほんと絶望的な歌詞なのですが、聞き終えると生命力が沸いてきて、ここからまた頑張っていこうって思えるんです。 今でも全く飽きないで、毎日聴いて歌ってます。 DIR EN GREYの5人にはマジ感謝してます！ 痛みに寄り添ってくれてありがとう😄

[@Theoneandonly88able]

English lyrics: The intention is clear, I stare with this left hand Unable to be worded Every time I bleed, there lies the reason to live And I discover words are being so vivid and bright So even if I engraved the meaning that I lived in my hand It will be only known as the flower of vanity The Final One by one it multiplies ... why be a sad bait? Deep within the hell of my heart ... I can't go back A self-torture loser, not being able to see tomorrow Suicide is the proof of life Even loved ones scatter like petals from flowers in my hand So even if I engraved the meaning that I lived in my hand, it will only be known as flowers of vanity So I can't live What's lost can't be born again A song that's not even seeking the proof of living Let's put an end ... The Final Lets bloom flowers of attempted suicide.
