真っ赤な雨が 真っ赤な顔に 落ちてくる 濡れていく 誰かが泣いている ベイビーブルーな空の下に (これは嫌だな!) 誰かの真っ赤な涙が 空から落ちてくる 真っ赤な雨が 真っ赤な顔に 落ちてくる 濡れていく 誰かが泣いている こんなベイビーブルーな空の下に 真っ赤な雨が 真っ赤な顔に 落ちてくる 濡れていく こんなベイビーブルーな空の下に 泣いているの? 真っ赤な雨が 真っ赤な雨が 空から落ちてくる 濡れっていく

It's easy for me To search for you Because I have a plan I have a plan The smell of your blood Is leading to you Don't cry anymore So I can leave you alone I present to you All of my love The smell of your blood Is leading to you Don't cry anymore So I can leave you alone The smell of your blood Is leading to you Don't bleed anymore So I can leave you alone I present to you All of my love I present to you All of my love 泣かないで! 泣かないで!!

about

Thegn's first self-released EP is, for them, a return to an industrial and EBM influenced sound.
Featuring twisted vocals, old Japanese folk music and film, and percussion crafted through unconventional sampling, Drown moves from shout-driven angst-ridden EBM to experimental techno made up of field recordings and re-purposed film scores.

Thegn's lyrics, while mostly in Japanese, are sparse. Ambiguously evoking themes of self-torment, pity, suicide contemplation, and frustration with quality of life. The choice of language and lyrics in Thegn's music only has meaning in the meta aspects of the art, the lyrics being derived from the subconscious ad-lib/flow-of-emotion style in which the music is recorded. Different memories and feelings, opinions, and ideas are recorded in different languages, and are associated with different cultural experiences. Extreme nuance, untranslatable meanings, and pure emotion are embedded in every spoken word of every language. With those words, combined with samples from cult film and old Japanese blues folk, the emotions and meaning of the songs are laid out like a Pollock painting, or perhaps more accurately like a Rorschach inkblot test.

Samples from 「夢の中へ」 by Sono Sion, 「たんごの節句」 by Morita Doji, 「Throne of Blood」 by Masaru Sato, 「天井」 by Yamasaki Hako, 「地獄」 by Nobuo Nakagawa, 「Tenno II」 by Teiji Ito
