Lyrics Meaning
If you call, I appear; if you pray, I descend; if you seek, I soar to the sky. Let’s feast to the near future, a dinner party. Blood generously for the next generation, a sacrifice. Alas, chasing dreams, longing for people, busy with oneself. Without wishing, without distinction, unknowingly hurting. Live, I make you happy, I correct this world. Trust me, ride on my back, embark on a journey to hell? On the dragon’s back. Intertwine, love or hate, it’s painful. Let’s go mad, the double-edged sword of good and evil, that’s humanity. What do you want to do, what do you like, what’s your livelihood? To be loved and to love, freedom, equality, being oneself, the “glass cage.” Live, I can say anything about my own matters, I alone know what I can achieve. Laugh, be made a fool of, today might be the “last day,” so let’s go further, beyond this. Live, I make you happy, I correct this world. Shall we go? If not here, ride on my back, embark on a journey to hell? On the dragon’s back.
