『Blasphemy』

You got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith has you immured
So don't try and tell me that you still believe, no, don't preach to me

Blasphemy

You got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith has you immured
So don't try and tell me that you still believe, no, don't preach to me

Ask no questions and you'll get no lies
Turn the cheek and blind the eye
Let it go
Bend the knee and give away your life
Bite your tongue and close your mind
Never know

'Cause you got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith has you immured
So don't try and tell me that you still believe, no, don't preach to me

You're not blessed, you're cursed
And it's getting worse now

It makes no sense, but it must be right
The blood and sweat you sacrificed
Was it all for nothing?
'Cause we've found no sign and we've seen no light
We hear no voice when we pray at night
But we swore, and now it's too late to turn back

You're not blessed, you're cursed
And it's getting worse now

You got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith has you immured
So don't try and tell me that you still believe, no, don't preach to me

No, don't preach to me
Don't preach me (you're not blessed, you're cursed)
No, don't preach me (and it's getting worse now)
It's blasphemy

Bring Me The Horizon『Blasphemy』

『Blasphemy』はアルバム『That's the Spirit』の10曲目。
『That's the Spirit』の中では唯一歌から入る楽曲となっていて、タイトルをそのまま訳すと「冒涜」となっています。
少々スローでダークな雰囲気もある曲で、サビでも盛り上がらないのが特徴的ですね。
前後に『Drown』『Oh No』と割と爽やかでかなり好きな曲が並んでいるお陰か、正直なところヘヴィな雰囲気の『Blasphemy』はイマイチに感じていた時もありました。

ですが、この曲はこの曲で良さがありますし、こうした曲順も含めてアルバム『That's the Spirit』が魅力的であると感じています。

まとめ

こんな感じで、Bring Me The Horizonの『Blasphemy』の紹介でした。
爽やかな曲に挟まれたヘヴィな曲ということで、あまりいい印象を持っていなかった楽曲ですが、それでも心に残るような曲となっています。
『Drown』の完成度が高すぎるというのもありますが、対照的な
『Blasphemy』で重さを感じられるからこそ次の『Oh No』で救われるのかもしれません。

それでは、また。
