DIR EN GREY - THE IIID EMPIRE [eng sub] LIVE HD

This performance was taken from their TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO______ [mode of VULGAR] and requested by MsNocreativity!

Translation by me.


A few annnotations this time:

What Kyo repeats in the beginning might be "Jump! Jump! Jump!", but throughout the song it sounds less and less like that to me, so I left it as it is. Either way, it's something to fire up the crowd.

"The masses dashing against each other sing" - "Masses" meaning people, and "dashing" like waves would dash against something.

"Marijuana" - In the lyrics the kanji for "demon", "person", "wife/bride" and "hole" are used to form the word (pronunciation wise) and make the meaning less obvious at the same time.

"Administration - poverty - dictatorship" - Kyo leaves out "core" (as in the core of an organization, team etc.) which follows the first three words.

"The bursting jailers laugh and scream" - "Jailers" could also be intended to go towards "overseers" in a more general sense.

"People" - The entire line is actually "The swirling cleansing - People scream". Kyo also leaves out "Awakening" after that, all we still hear is "sei" of "kakusei" ("Awakening") repeated by the other members.
Also I can't really tell what Toshiya says at 2:41 before he throws the mic. (To me it sounds like "This is a custard!", but I'm gonna leave my comedy out of this, haha...)



---------------
I do not own Dir En Grey or any of their music or performances.
I translate for fun and wanted to share this translation.

Thank you for watching!
