X Japan is a Japanese heavy metal band from Chiba, formed in 1982 by Yoshiki and Toshi.

They started out mainly as a power speed metal band, but later gravitated towards a progressive sound with an emphasis on ballads.

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 (To find the way) Can't you see me standing right here? (To feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear (To find its place) I will give it straight from my vein "Needles are piercing through my skin, I don't know the meaning of the *** life" "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 (To find the way) Can't you see me standing right here? (To feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear (To find its place) 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 (To find the way) Can't you see me standing right here? (To feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear (To find its place) I will give it straight from my vein
