Nursery Rhymes baby : Let's hold hands EDIT - XA-VAT [Lyrics]

London Bridge is broken down

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

My mother has killed me

あぁ、もし君が今いるならば教えてくれアノ続きを

A~a, moshi kimi ga ima irunaraba oshiete kure ano tsudzuki o

僕は一人で部屋に閉じこもり欠片ほどの勇気も出せないよ

Boku wa hitori de heya ni tojikomori kakera hodo no yūki mo dasenai yo

Hush Hush

Baby i want you

Baby turn around

My brothers and sisters sit under the table

Picking up bury them under the cold marble stones

Hush Hush

Baby i love you

Baby turn over

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day

Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay

Broken down broken down

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

My father is eating me

あぁ、もし僕が死んでいても言わないでほしいんだお願いさ

A~a, moshi boku ga shinde ite mo iwanaide hoshī nda onegai sa

そんなとても悲しい事からは出来るだけ目を背けていたいよね

Son'na totemo kanashī koto kara wa dekiru dake me o somukete itai yo ne

Nursery Rhymes Baby

落ちた落ちた愛しのレディー

Ochita ochita itoshino redī

ほら薔薇の花輪だ

Hora bara no hanawada

手をつなごうよ We all fall down

Tewotsunagō yo we all fall down

Nursery Rhymes Baby

みんなそろって落ちるのよ

Min'na sorotte ochiru no yo

さあルビルビルン踊って

Sā rubirubirun odotte

As usual, I posted this on twitter a while ago, but since this account has been a bit dead lately I'll post it here too.

Since XA-VAT released this song I've never been the same, I swear I listen to this every day at least once and I never get tired of it. Naturally, I went after the lyrics and became obsessed with finding some meaning. At first I didn't think I would find anything, because XA-VAT's songs are usually more for dancing than paying attention to what they say, I suppose. But I think there is a deeper meaning to this absolute banger, after all.

Okay so, this is pretty obvious: the lyrics are mostly just a bunch of nursery rhymes mixed all together. The rhymes are London Bridge, Humpty Dumpty, a rhyme from the folktale The Juniper Tree, Monday's child and Ring a Ring o' Roses. All of these, with the sole exception of Monday's Child, can be related to death in some way.

Here we go with the lyrics;

"London Bridge is broken down

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

My mother has killed me

"Broken down broken down

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

My father is eating me"

"My brothers and sisters sit under the table

Picking up bury them under the cold marble stones

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day

Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay"

"Nursery Rhymes Baby

Fallen, fallen, my beloved lady 

Look, a wreath of roses

Let's hold hands We all fall down"

> London Bridge lyrics:

London Bridge is falling down

Falling down, falling down

London Bridge is falling down

My fair lady

> Humpty Dumpty lyrics:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again

> The Juniper Tree:

My Mother has killed me

My Father is eating me

My brothers and sisters sit under the table

Picking up my bones

And they bury them

under the cold marble stone

> Monday's Child

Monday's child is fair of face

Tuesday's child is full of grace

Wednesday's child is full of woe

Thursday's child has far to go

Friday's child is loving and giving

Saturday's child works hard for his living

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day

Is bonny and blithe and good and gay"

> Ring a Ring o' Roses

Ring-a-ring o' roses

A pocket full of posies

Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down!"

*Children play this one while circling and holding each other hand's, there's also a theory that the rhyme is actually about dying from the bubonic plague and the "We all fall down" literally means to die.

As for this part:

あぁ、もし君が今いるならば教えてくれアノ続きを

Ah, If you're here now, tell me the rest of Anno's history

僕は一人で部屋に閉じこもり欠片ほどの勇気も出せないよ

I'm locked up in my room all alone, and I can not muster even a shred of courage

あぁ、もし僕が死んでいても言わないでほしいんだお願いさ

Ah, if I'm dead, please, don't tell me

そんなとても悲しい事からは出来るだけ目を背けていたいよね

because I want to look away from such a sad thing as much as possible

I believe they were referencing Anno Mitsumasa. A renowned children's book illustrator who is very popular, especially among the XA-VAT members' gen. They probably grew up reading these books :).

Mystical Fest happened a few days ago and I can't get it out of my head. It was life changing experience and I already miss all of them — especially Közi — so badly. We had MAYOHK, Kaya and Hizaki (ft. CERO too!), Közi solo and Schwartz Stein. plus a little meet&greet!

About the meet&greet, my only regrets are that everything was way too quick, and I couldn't say everything I wanted to Közi because I was so damn nervous 😭. Basically, they were all lined up and you had to do the hi-touch with all of them. Közi was right in the middle, with a chair in front of him so the fans could sit and take a pic afterwards.

I took my gekka Közi doll with me, ans while I did the hi-touch with the other guys, Közi kept looking at it. Now I regret not having given it to him AaAaAa maybe next time! Anyway, when I did the hi-touch with him, I accidentally did it too hard and he was surprised, he did a little "WoOoOoh!" and I thanked him for coming — in English, because any japanese that may exist in my heard disappeared the moment I saw him so close to me.

Közi is SO small, so tiny. He was wearing platforms shoes, but still we we're basically the same height — I was wearing regular boots, no heels. — he's really that tiny, I can't tell exactly but he absolutely isn't taller than 5'5. His shoulders are small and he's really thin, you can notice that even with his baggy clothes. He has so much hair, and it actually looked very fluffy. His hands are just a little bigger than mine. Cute as hell, I could just die in front of him 💔. He's the prettiest man I've ever seen.

After the photo, I went to the merch table and got a bunch of MAYOHK stuff: C'est Si Bon CD, pixel közi keychain, chekis, and a got acrylic. Other than that, I also got an autographed poster. The chekis were sadly all random! But the kind clerk helped me to pull Közi ^_^

Ok, the show started with MAYOHK, they're so fucking cool. The only songs I had already listened to were SEXY MUSIC and Donuts because of Közi's FC, but they still surprised me! They're amazing, Hora's vocals are so appealing and Közi's voice is so stable, he was doing high notes so easily even though he was a bit sick of his throat this week. It was also beautiful because even though almost everyone there was hearing the songs for the first time, in SEXY MUSIC everyone learned the lyrics midsong and were singing along with Közi! You could see in his eyes how happy he was. He brought a tiny cute pink guitar to play during C'est Si Bon, I couldn't believe I was seeing him playing right in front of my eyes. After that, MAYOHK is the only thing I've been listening to these past few days.

Közi's solo began right after Kaya and Hizaki finished playing. He said "Good Night" in portuguese and ILLUMINATI started playing, the crowd went wild, It was an indescribable feeling to hear everyone screaming the lyrics, and I think that was when it hit me that I was really seeing him, the Közi from Malice Mizer.

It was really funny, at the end of the song his microphone stopped working (maybe because he wouldn't stop fooling around with it) and he looked PISSED as hell bv the staff was kinda slow to come help him, lol. When a guy finally came to help, he looked at us like this "🤷🙄" and the show kept going. After ILLUMINATI, we had ISM (Hora mix) and I couldn't stop screaming. Seriously, I screamed so much that I still have a sore throat. Then we had Ju te veux, Dans erebos, Color Me Blood Red, and of course, his muse: Honey Vanity. He sang the Retromantics mix and it was the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. The crowd didn't went silent for a second, we were shouting and screaming the whooooole time! As soon as it was over, we started chanting "Közi eu te amooo" (Közi I love you) mutiple times and he did a cute little dance before foing back to the backstage.

After Schwarz Stein was done, they all came back to the stage with the Brazil flag and played Au Revoir. Közi was the one who stayed on stage with us the longest and sang some parts, while playing with his little guitar and fooling around with Hora. Hizaki came to hug the audience and I just happened to be in front of him, so my face went on his boobs LOL.

When the show was definitely over, we waited at the exit of the venue to say goodbye to them, they came out without makeup, wearing masks (Közi was wearing glasses too!) and as soon as he got into the van, we could see through the window that the first thing he did was grab a can of alcohol to drink. <3

That's it. At the end of it all, it was almost 7 hours of standing straight, but I didn't even feel the time passing, I could have stayed in that moment all night. It was the best day of my life, I was able to finally meet irl many of my friends and I saw my literal God, Közi. I hope he comes again soon! I will post more photos and videos + mayohk lyrics

Also! these were some of my presents to him:
