I had listened to Guren countless times, watched the PV numerous times. And till yesterday, I finally understood the full meaning and the concept behind the song and PV. How wols am I!

In the beginning when I first listened to Guren, all I know it's about abortion or something related. Till yesterday, I realised it's about miscarriage!



This is what I got from a forum
___________________________________________

"so first, there are objects and colours that represents something in this PV

1. the tap = penis
2. red room = mother's uterus
3. white paint = sperm
4. the girl = embryo
5. colour red = alive
6. colour white = death

it also says that Guren actually means uterus in Jap o.o..? all i know was that it meant lotus...

here we go:

at the beginning of the song you can hear the girl laughing [but i cannot hear that, maybe the single version?] ..which represents the embryo's innocence in the mother's stomach and also the baby's loneliness inside her mother

then you can see the girl moving around in her red dress, in the red room and she was painting the walls with the white paint. But eventually, the room turned white and her dress isn't red anymore but white, it meant that death has come upon the embryo and she died inside the mother's uterus

if you watch the PV again, the girl walks/ move around ONLY when she's wearing the red dress, in the red room. But when gazette was singing, the girl was wearing white and she was standing in a corner, NOT MOVING because she died already so the whole scenery revolves around the death of the embryo

When you refer back to the lyrics, it actually makes sense and the lyrics are written from the mother's point of view.

theres also another version of the story, but it says the mother is GIVING UP on her child and then she regrets what she did.

Guren lyrics

I'm sorry... after awhile, let me sleep by your name

that basically summarizes the whole song

The passing days drew us closer
The pain is matched with joy
Both hands reflect that
I cry when i think of you


the mother and the baby is linked together and obviously she cries when her baby dies

there is a rain of sadness
it's fine just to remain unknown
i tremble for repose, i remembered
what do you want to see in this reeled in dream?

i dont want you to fade
let me hear, even a sigh
a small heartbeat, that isnt there
i want you come here!


the mother does not want the embryo to leave. she wants to be reassured that the baby is still living, even if its just a sigh. the small heartbeat = alive, but it isn't there anymore

unchanging dreams, if this continues on
please dont pause in your happiness
even if it doesnt need to called out but
the drowning days are piling over me.

i dont want you to fade
let me hear, even a sigh
a small heartbeat, that isnt there
i want you come here!

Even the hands of salvation is also in vagueness
Will there be a cocoon at intervals of the second, without the string tearing off?

i want to hear, even a sigh
little rhythm to the sound of the heartbeat
of touched prayers delivered

the name which i cannot call out i held closely
counting with my fingers, i dont want tomorrow to dissapear
hearing with blocked ears
the sound of a broken cradle

the spring time will never come again
the crimson lotus is in bloom"

I am curious what's up in Ruki's head (or maybe all the 5 guys). How a guy manage to view this from a mother point of view?
