X - Japan - Art of Life FULL song

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 to 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

art of lifeのピアノソロって、社会人として生きていく道のりを如実に表現していてすごいと思う。

静かに始まり徐々に強く激しくなっていき次第に狂気を帯びて絶望の中壊れてどん底に落ちていく。
どん底で壊れて狂いながらそれでも必死に光明を求めてもがき苦しみ、少しずつ上がり始めるも所々で絶望に足を引っ張られ狂気が表面化し中々うまく上がっていけない。
それでも少しずつ自分を取り戻していき狂気をコントロールしはじめて、いよいよ本格的にどん底から登り始める。
そして最後は希望と諦めを悟り真実の自分を見つけ、未来に向けて爆発的に飛翔する。ただそれは決して子供のような無邪気な飛翔ではなく、自信と希望の奥に悲しみや諦め、焦燥、そして大人としての覚悟など、いろんなものを背負った大人の飛翔である・・・みたいな。

若いころはピアノソロ飛ばして聞いてたんだけど、大人になったらピアノソロが一番好きになったわ。

この曲が発売するのを楽しみにしていて発売日には店のオープン前から店の前で待った。十秒以上続く鳥肌を音楽で感じたのはこの曲だけ。十秒以上だ。十代のオレの受けた衝撃はこの先どんなアーティストも越えることはできない。

Por que essa obra não está no Spotify? E várias outras músicas da banda também não estão?

💪💪 i love this song from 2010.. Thank you xjapan

Apres 30mn d’ecoute t’as qu’une envie c’est que ca continue! Et quand tu réalises que c’est fini, tu relâches le souffle que t’as retenu depuis 30mn…
C’est ca un chef-d’oeuvre.

Is it on spotify? I cant seem to find it 🥲

my best friend fuckin love this song and showed it to me a year ago, it's still amazing ad it was,

ピアノソロん時2人のYOSHIKIが存在する
Xを続けるYOSHIKI
全てを壊すYOSHIKI
だけど彼はXを選び進む

自分を壊して

My favorite song, I always come to listen to it when I'm one step away from collapsing, I feel very lonely and tired, but listening to this song is like floating to me it's like all the anger I feel fades as the song progresses.💙

Up there with J.S. Bach and Mozart, great piece of music

23년인데 지금 들어도 완전 세련됬네 30분을 이렇게 끌고 갈수 있다니!

ART OF LIFE was planned to be released as a 2 CD set on Jealousy's album.
As a result of YOSHIKI's uncompromising recording, it was released nearly two years late, and I remember looking forward to its release. Almost 30 years since its release. My youth, my life is with X JAPAN. From now on forever.

I haven't found a metal song more beautiful than this one yet.

もはやX JAPANを越えるバンドは、この世に存在しない❗❗❗

jealousyと2枚組で出して欲しかった。これで作品は完結。

まさにx流のプログレだ

I love you Toshi, you are the best !

佳作と言えるような壮大さを感じます🎉素晴らしい能力を皆様はお持ちになっています。この国際的な旋律の凄さは見る人々の瞳を奪うかのようです。素晴らしい😊

My cousin sent this to me on my birthday. Thank you Robert!!!!!

リリースからもう30年経つんか…
初回盤で買ったCDはもう手元に無いけど、最近はtubeとかでほぼ毎日聞いてるや
飽きっぽい俺には珍しく未だに飽きない名曲の中の1つ

あっぱれ！

I just got girlfriends rearing and release the so-called album has been sitting on for so long

I just listened to this for the first time and I must say, after that piano solo, it felt my breath was surgically removed from my body. Absolutely incredible.

私の青春　😊

大好きです。

Greetings from México we're X japan!!

não consigo mais olhar para essa mulher da capa ao descobrir que essa mulher na verdade é o proprio Yoshiki.

Masterpiece!!

밴드음악이 오케스트라가 된다면 이것이 모차르트고 베토벤이 될것이다. 일렉트록이 어떻게 클래식이 되는지 궁금하다면 크로스오버가 아니라 지금의 앨범을 들어라 그것이 당신이 원하는 답일것이다. 좋나좋와

全編素晴らしいけど、ピアノソロはマジ圧巻
テクニックではなく感情だけでここまで表現するとかさ
この頃のYOSHIKIは本当に無敵だった
今はロスから緊急帰国して何かをするする言うだけのおじさんで悲しい

PERFECT SONG.
