Art Of Life Lyrics
Artist(Band):X-Japan
Desert Rose
Why do you live alone
If you are sad
I'll make you leave this life
Are you white, blue or bloody red
All I can see is drowning in cold grey sand
The winds of time
You knock me to the ground
I'm dying of thirst
I wanna run away
I don't know how to set me free to live
My mind cries out feeling pain
I've been roaming to find myself
How long have I been feeling endless hurt
Falling down, rain flows into my heart
In the pain I'm waiting for you
Can't go back
No place to go back to
Life is lost, Flowers fall
If it's all dreams
Now wake me up
If it's all real
Just kill me
I'm making the wall inside my heart
I don't wanna let my emotions get out
It scares me to look at the world
Don't want to find myself lost in your eyes
I tried to drown my past in grey
I never wanna feel more pain
Ran away from you without saying any words
What I don't wanna lose is love
Through my eyes
Time goes by like tears
My emotion's losing the color of life
Kill my heart
Release all my pain
I'm shouting out loud
Insanity takes hold over me
Turning away from the wall
Nothing I can see
The scream deep inside
reflecting another person in my heart
He calls me from within
"All existence you see before you
must be wiped out :
Dream, Reality, Memories,
and Yourself"
I begin to lose control of myself
My lust is so blind, destroys my mind
Nobody can stop my turning to madness
No matter how you try to hold me in your heart
Why do you wanna raise these walls
I don't know the meaning of hatred
My brain gets blown away hearing words of lies
I only want to hold your love
Stab the dolls filled with hate
Wash yourself with their blood
Drive into the raging current of time
Swing your murderous weapon into the belly
"the earth"
Shout and start creating confusion
Shed your blood for pleasure
And what? For love?
What am I supposed to do?
I believe in the madness called "Now"
Past and future prison my heart
Time is blind
But I wanna trace my love
on the wall of time, over pain in my heart
Art of life
Insane blade stabbing dreams
Try to break all truth now
But I can't heal this broken heart in pain
Cannot start to live, Cannot end my life
Keep on crying
Close my eyes
Time breathes I can hear
All love and sadness
melt in my heart
Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me living my life
outside my walls
You can't draw a picture of yesterday, so
You're painting your heart with your blood
You can't say "No"
Only turning the wheel of time
with a rope around your neck
You build a wall of morality and take a breath
from between the bricks
You make up imaginary enemies and are chased by them
You're trying to commit suicide
You're satisfied with your prologue
Now you're painting your first chapter black
You are putting the scraps of life together
and trying to make an asylum for yourself
You're hitting a bell at the edge of the stage
and
You are trying to kill me
I believe in the madness called "Now"
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for
Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live, Do I try to love
in my dream
I'm breaking the wall inside my heart
I just wanna let my emotions get out
Nobody can stop
I'm running to freedom
No matter how you try to hold me in your world
Like a doll carried by the flow of time
I sacrificed the present moment for the future
I was in chains of memory half-blinded
Losing my heart, walking in the sea of dreams
Close my eyes
Rose breathes I can hear
All love and sadness melt in my heart
Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me living my life
outside my mind
Dreams can make me mad
I can't leave my dream
I can't stop myself
Don't know what I am
What lies are truth?
What truths are lies?
I believe in the madness called "Now"
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for
Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live? Do I try to love?
Art of life
An Eternal Bleeding heart
You never wanna breathe your last
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I'm feeling for
A Rose is breathing love
in my life

Review about Art Of Life
The Ultimatum | Reviewer: ZulFarhan | 9/26/2008I'd rate this song to be the most genuine, legit, expressive and breathtaking!!! Watch the video and you will know what i mean :)
If you have observed/heard clearly, Yoshiki on drums is totally amazing. He plays with passion (sometimes sings along and smiles!) and he's stamina is absolutely strong - playing Art Of Life for 10mins+(Part 1) and about 6 mins for part 2. Yoshiki is truely another excellent composer.. Just listen to this song.. He's drum parts is so expressive and every members' parts fits into the song well such that the song flows beautifully.
X Japan truly etched their mark in my brain. ART OF LIFE is simply the best song ever!
Undescribable talent expressed through breath taking music and heart felt lyrics | Reviewer: AsianBlood | 9/19/2008
Where to begin when it comes to X japan. Similarly to ZerOTime, i begun listening to x japan when i was in college around 2004 and was first introduced to X japan through falling in love with a JRock band known as Dir en Grey. My friend was astonished that i knew nothing first about x japan so i began collecting their albums. I thank my friend to this day for helping find one of the rare jems within music. Within the UK lies many manufactured bands singing lyrics with no meaning.... what has music become? X japan performed with heart and all their songs from weekend to the ultimate art of life is nothing below outstanding, in all truth there is no word to describe who immaculately perfect they are in my opinion. their songs reflect true emotion and feelings felt by ever human being. Why X japan were never acknowledged within the West around their existing baffles me beyond belief. Amoungst my Fav bands of all time X japan is at the top along side Queen and Nightwish.

^_^ | Reviewer: ZerOTimE | 8/8/2008
This song makes me so happy ^__^ i just wish i heard of X-Japan earlier...i have their whole discography though and its simply amazing...i started listening to them awhile ago like..in 2005 when i first heard Dir en grey cause someone on limewire but taht Blue Blood was a dir en grey song...but it turned out to be X-Japan..and then i fell in love with them! hehe i want to see them live..but i dont know if they are good anymore...i know one of their members died and had to be replaced and ive only heard their new song I.V...i just hope they have not changed from like what this song is ^_^
Pure poetry!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/26/2008
This isn't just lyrics or music. This is pure poetry. The lyrics could be published as a poem and most people would never imagine that this was a "rock & roll" song. As for Yoshiki's musical composition, the man is practically a genius, enough said!!!
Masterpiece | Reviewer: Schmakkus | 2/19/2008
It's truly a masterpiece.
I get goosebumps while listening. Couple of days ago, I was upset, because I lost this song and found it today.
The singing and the music. Just the instrumentals shows every single aspect of life. Sometimes Harmonic and sometimes not.
The Must Listen To Song! | Reviewer: Luis Fer | 1/29/2008
When a song takes you to another place far from only music, is a real masterpiece; this is how I felt the first time I listened to this amazing song.It is all about the sound, lyrics, interpretation, the feeling and conviction with wich all the guys play; with songs like this (rare ones huh?) you just can say "thanks" for a moment of happines, or for a moment to get out of your sadness, for being able to say sorry or to give a hand... Don't know what more to say; thanks X Japan for a beautiful masterpiece. "I just want to let my emotions get out..."

to anonymous | Reviewer: Tomoe | 10/9/2007
You don't understand him because he has japanese accent obviously when we speak another language we can't say it the way it should be. I have this example because my original language is Spanish.(so sorry for my bad english ^^)
It's an excellent song,specially in the guitar solo by Hideto. I like it a lot
Ja-ne
No words can express | Reviewer: X rocks | 10/5/2007
I can't even think of how to describe this song.
I would say amazing, beautiful, gorgeous but these words doesn't even seem to come close to describe its great significance.
And to anonymous: "No"
if you didn't get the lyrics, it just shows how completely ignorant you are.
But i guess someone already said that. ^^'
art of life | Reviewer: ianime | 10/6/2007
this song is a definite art.you could just feel the overflowing emotion yoshiki has when he does piano and drums.i dont know if other member feel the same as yoshiki(coz hes the composer).to sum it all,this song is emotionally done,full of compation,rage,and fits every human living.
