Stereo

This is one supergroup reunion that I have missed out last year. X Japan, once the biggest band to come out from the land of the rising sun (Japan lah), released I.V. digitally early this year, topping the iTunes’ daily chart. It also appears on the soundtrack of the movie Saw IV.

It is no Endless Rain (one of them jiwang songs which I like, a lot), but it is still a rock epic that fits well to the name that is X Japan. Oh, and the whole song is in English. But, why?

I.V.
by X Japan

Needles are piercing through my skin
I’ll tell you the feeling what it’s like
Is life just all about deception?

Please don’t be a part of a fairy tale
But you’re so young to play with thy own will
Should I trade the breath of my life for freedom?

(In the rain) I’m calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can’t you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life’s bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein

Needles are piercing through my skin
I don’t fear the fucking life

This never meant I can’t sit by
They say as if it takes me somewhere
Just let me swallow the faith by injection
Life better be rushing to my head, my love

I’ve played with this game before to find a piece of my true self!
I’m lost within!

(In the rain) I’m calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can’t you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life’s bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein

I’m feeling my pain
Do you feel where it’s been
Can you cope with history of the world
When it’s sad part of life?
Can set the shadows fade
Forever fade away

I’m calling you, dear
Can’t you see me standing right here?
Life’s bleeding from fear
I’ll give it straight from my vein

(In the rain) I’m calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can’t you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life’s bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein
