I know, I know. It's too early. But from what I have heard so far, I really adore this song. :D
And I wanted to ask... has anybody managed to (at least partly) make out the lyrics? I think it would be interesting to try and gather it, so that we could compare it when we know the real thing.
All I can make out are really just short bits like "my love" and "standing here beside me" (yeah, I haven't really been trying much so far) :P
-
The chorus is "I’m calling you, dear/ Can’t you see me standing right here/ Life is bleeding from fear/ I’ll give it straight from my vein" according to JRR, and knowing Yoshiki, the backing vocals could be something like "in the rain", "feel the rain", "wipe my vein" etc. ;P
-
wipe my vein
:D :D :D :D
-
And we know that Heath sings the backing vocals (at least he did it at the shooting).
-
First line is:
"Needles are piercing through my skin"
Yoshiki seems to like skin-things :)
-
Haha, typically Yoshiki, there HAD to be blood in that song.
It sounds ok, imo, not "OMG SO AMAZING BEST THING EVAH!!!1", but ok.
-
Oooh, I tried to make out the lyrics for those 1.30 minutes in the first previews. Well, it's hard since those moderators talk the whole time xD
And...I really better don't share what I got so far... The chorus was almost completly wrong! xD;;
Oh well, I better just wait for the offical thing before I have thw wrong words burned into my brain :P
One sentence shortly before the chorsus starts again sounds like "will I be without you in my headß" x_x sounds like somthing he'd write e_e probalby wrong though XD
Toshi's Engrish+bad sound quality+words I don't know = :roll:
Oh, and I like that song alot! :) It's stuck in my head since the first preview showed up x_x *completly addicted*
-
I know there's a lot of errors, and there are still a lot of words (and complete lines) that I can't understand AT ALL, but here's the best I have at the moment.
If you all figure more out or catch my errors, feel free to correct! I'm excited to compare to the real lyrics. :D
Still cursing audio quality and Toshi-Engrish. XD
Needles are piercing through my skin
I sit and dream it, what it’s like
Is there just hope of addiction
Is it okay to […] change my end
…
To take the place of my right for freedom
CHORUS:
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
(whispers)
There are […] I can’t [deny,divide?]
…
Just let me drown you with this [sweet?] addiction
Then let me wash you with my [hand?heck?lol], my love
[The madness?I feel this?] has gone before
to find a piece of my true self
lost within
CHORUS
I’m ripping my vein
To figure out this pain
You know what leads to me
And the wall of blood and [embers?] of light
Can’t change my shadowed [pain?]
Forever fades away
CHORUS x2
-
I feel stupid, but toshinglish still makes no sense to me! ;'(
Dont worry about it dude, same here.
-
Dont worry about it dude, same here.
Well yeah. But I still think his English pronounciation is quite good this time. Used to be much worse sometimes. :P
-
I wasn`t able to make out more than the chous either.
mostly due to the reasons mentioned earlier.
the preview on JRR, however, is the perfect length for a ringtone.
i currently have it set as mine. 8)
-
Edited my post to include new puzzling-out. :P
-

Hahahaha yeah.. "Shtop blah-dee lain!" ;)

Is there actually anyone besides me who thinks Yoshiki's lyrics are boringly repetitive? :?
-

He has some really good stuff, but mostly it is as repetitive as is his drum playing. That's why I like his japanese lyrics better, I can concentrate totally in the music, and not have to worry about the rains, broken bloody hearts dyed in red etc.
-
I like rains and broken bloody hearts dyed in red. XD So I don't mind. But I see your point, it is rather repetitive... I think I have fangirl syndrome: if it was any other artist I'd probably be annoyed. Oh well, it is what it is, and if that makes me a fangirl, so be it! :twisted:
-
Great work, Mitsuko! :shock:
And yeah, repetitive it probably is, but I like it. Somehow I haven't expected anything else. :)
Hahahaha yeah.. "Shtop blah-dee lain!" Wink
In fact, sometimes he realized it (I think) and then his eyes would dart left and right in a very nervous fashion. It used to be quite lovely. :D
-

Let's not forget love, and dreams...but I totally agree, the more Japanese, the less same English words over and over again, the better. *he should let Toshi write English lyrics for X if he wants them so much in the songs, because Toshi is actually good with lyrics :P *
-
*he should let Toshi write English lyrics for X if he wants them so much in the songs, because Toshi is actually good with lyrics :P *
Ouch. XD
-
The song sounds pretty good after hearing it a few times, though i'm also wondering what i'd think of it if i wasn't in the "OMG X IS BACK!" mood. The piano at the end sounds f***ing gorgeous.
-
*he should let Toshi write English lyrics for X if he wants them so much in the songs, because Toshi is actually good with lyrics :P *
Ouch. XD
The truth hurts :wink:
-
I thought toshi said that he wouldn't sing anymore sad songs!
I thought he said violent.
-
Yeah, I also think it was more about violent songs. Though this one is not exactly a piece of fluff, in my opinion.
Well, I won't complain, though. I'm pretty happy about the song. :D
-
Maybe that was just a spare-of-the-moment thing he said.. I've often said "I wont do *insert random crap here* anymore" and I do.. everyone does it. Once he's back on stage with the rest of the band he probably wont care :D

I certainly hope so. :D
-
Or, maybe now that the band's back together Yoshiki might write happier songs? :D
Yeah right.
-
Does anyone know what is I.V. means?
I think it might means there are only 4 of X now.
any opinion????
-
Probably that it's the soundtrack-song of SAW IV ;)
-
Well, given the lyrics of "needles are piercing through my skin," "I'll give it straight from my vein" etc. I think it could literally mean I.V. - Intravenous.
It could have multiple meanings, though, and have to do with the four remaining members of X, or even with Saw IV. :)
-
I think its all of those and that is why he chose that name.
-
I also think it's intravenous.
-
one of bests x japan musics.
-
I'm sure you've all heard this before, and I know it probably wasn't planned, but none-the-less it's ironic.
I.V.
I is the 9th letter of alphabet
V is the 22nd letter of alphabet
9.22.
Sept. 22 the day the band officially disbanded....
that's really cool (coincidental), but cool!
I saw you all were trying to figure out the lyrics earlier, so let me put my 2 cents in..lol
I wrote most of this, the only thing I didn't write is the part after the second chorus, right after the little "instrumental solo", that's the only part of these that aren't accurate
"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 " - I.V.
-
I'd love to see the real lyrics soon and see who had which parts right, haha. I'm looking forward to that.
-
yea. me too, but if it's only being released on iTunes, who knows...
-
I listened to the song a gazillion times in a row just now to try to figure out the lyrics. XD When I listened to the song while looking at the lyrics that were posted here, most of them fit. ^^ But I made some minor changes (and some major ones in the bridge). XD Here's my version:
Needles are piercing through my skin
I'll tell you the feeling, what it's like
Is life just all about deception?
It's only a part of the fairy tale
But desire has played with my own will
Should I take 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
-Yoshiki whispers something here-*
"Don't you ever let life pass you by"
They say as if fate takes me somewhere
Just let me swallow the faith by injection
Red blood will run through my heart
My love, I've played with this game before
To find a piece of my true self 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'll give you my vein to feel restless pain
Give to a mystery of the world
And let it suffer though it's life
To shape the shadows' fate
Forever fades away
I'm calling you dear
Can't you see me standing right here?
Life's bleeding from fear
I will 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
* I can't quite figure out what Yoshiki is whispering, but I'm not sure if the lyrics given fit there either. o.o
-
I'd bet anything he whispers, "Needles are piercing through my skin, I don't fear this fucking life"
-
i found a clearer version of the PV.. hope I am not slow enough to post it.. :)

Just to let you all know, YOSHIKI said he's been asked to do a Japanese version of I.V. and that he migh include it on the Japanese Best of Album

-
I think its a good time to ask the people who were at the concerts, while its still hopefully in their memory, what the lyrics to I.V actually are.
-
Not an answer to your post :wink: but I just wanted to add, that the live-version of I.V. is sooo much better than the studio-version. The studio-version is also good, but the live-version just had the little-extra, it had a little bit more rock ihmo (hard to put it in words) and Sugizo absolutely nailed this song.
-
I would say that the live version of IV had that 'raw edge' that the studio version didn't.
I liked IV, but it wasn't awesome, the live version made it EPIC. :P
-
Sugizo did a great job on the live!
And I still can't get over Toshi's scream during the guitar parts during Creation Night.
That was awesome. <3
-
I think its a good time to ask the people who were at the concerts, while its still hopefully in their memory, what the lyrics to I.V actually are.
I was there all three nights, and the lyrics were on a screen each time they played I.V., so I can help:
Needles are piercing through my skin
I'll tell you the feeling, what it's like
If life is just all about deception
It's all pain, a part of the fairy tale
But desire to play with God's 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
(To find its way) I will give it straight from my vein
"Don't you ever let life pass you by"
They say as if it takes me somewhere
Just let me swallow the faith, by injection
Let blood 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
(To find its way) I will give it straight from my vein
I.V. in my vein to feel less its pain
Can you strip away the mystery of the world?
I'll let it suffer for its lie
'Till the shape of the shadows fades
'Till forever fades away
I'm calling you dear
Can't you see me standing right here?
Life's bleeding from fear
I will 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
(To find its way) I will give it straight from my vein
Edit- 100% accurate now. XD
-
Thanks a lot! ^_^
But desire to play with God's own will
-> It sounds to me more like: But desire to play with my own will
-

It does kind of sound more like that. o.o
But it definitely said "God's own will" on the screen. ^^

anybody figure out what the chord progression sugizo played durin IV???
-
"I.V. in my vein to feel less its pain"
I love that line, how they include I.V in it, thankyou for the lyrics.
-

The chorus is something like Em G D ;P Besides that I haven't even tried to figure it out.
And at the chorus, find the way is actually to find a way.
-
Umm, I took out some of the chords a while ago, I'm thinking of doing a gp5 version of it somewhen soon. If anyone's interested?
Does the live version vary much from the studio version?
-

Sure, I'm sure it'll help a lot of people trying to learn the song. The live version varies so that there's no piano, and Sugizo is playing the hide-noises a bit differently.

That would be greatly appreciated if you make a GP5 version of I.V.
A live version would be awesome , good luck with it.
-
tat would be awesome :D
-
Okay, I took a look at the live version and... wasn't impressed x_x But I'll try, Sugizo's mauling of teh guitar will be kind of hard to copy with GP5's crappy effects.
-
I already have the bassline of IV if anyone needs it ^^
-

No need to, I don't think he either can play that same "solo" twice :D The point is just to make noise.
-
i wan the bassline. can up ls post it up? thanks
-

Do you mean the bit before they played I.V. where Sugizo was playing by himself? try G , D , EM , C? just pick the strings to experiment with. Mind i'm not really that good on guitar so i'm most likely wrong but give it a shot.
-
Haha nice topic for me...
I just started using this site, so i can't post links yet... but i made a parody video of I.V. on youtube.
Just go there and type
"X Japan IV Funny Subs" and you should find it :D
Some X Japan fans may not like this... but the ones that commented it seem to... haha.
I LOVE I.V.... so dont complain to me if you think I'm making fun of it. XD

I'm excited to see official lyrics, too!
I'm looking back on the first lyrics I heard, and they're so wrong XD But I wrote those when we got the very first bootleg that was almost inaudible... haha. You guys have done a really good job identifying what they should really be! Thanks!
Where can I listen to the live version of I.V.? :wink:

That and Yoshiki's piano bit from 28th = <3
-
From what I can tell it's Em, C, G, D (all chords, not power chords)
Just hit notes from those chords, and you should get something sounding like Sugizo

thank you :D
-
Yea, I love the song. I've been singing at a lot lately hehe.
-
Does anyone know if X Japan will release a 'traditional' 8cm single of I.V.?
-
I don't think so...
since many J-Rock band nowadays choose to released it via Internet to reach foreign fans...
but maybe,who knows :P
-
huh.. more and more attracted to this song..
it's damn nice song to sing and it really gets to your mind.
I wonder what else is coming next..
-
Just listened again to the 'Night of Creation' version and the song rocks live so much and now I really have problems (well minor problems :)) listening to the studio version without the intro and Sugizo's singing.

That nights performance was really great. Me and my friend thought that I.V on the night of Destruction sucked kinda, because inside the dome lots of us were confused what we were supposed to do before the song kicked in. We all kind of got the general idea of it by the second night, but by the third night it really came together.
-
I love the 'hide Memorial Summit' version of this song ... ^^
the way Toshi sang this song is a lot better than the 'Towards Destruction' version ... :P
-
i really love this song, i can't get it out of my head (like most x songs really) :)
-
Hm, yea I have to say that this is a great song...Toshi's voice has more character in this song than many others in my opinion.

and pata seams like just opening his mouth randomly on chorus xD

I.V. on fast forward sounded cool though....^o^

hm, what do you guys think of the voice distortion that has been used recently at the lives? Personally, I think it is too much and they should stick to one similar to the one they used in Dahlia back in the 90's...
