Song Meaning of “ピストル” by Acid Black Cherry
‘ピストル’ by Acid Black Cherry is a song about the fragility of life and how quickly it can be taken away. The oppressive and eerie music serves to emphasize the point that the protagonist is making – life is unpredictable and fragile, like an old gun rusting away in a forest. He talks of being a dead man walking, with a heart that has been held in someone else’s powerful grip. The struggles and pain of life weigh heavily on him and the only thing that could rescue him would be a miracle, like a “pistol in the wood”. In the end, he’s looking for something to bring him back to life – a hope, a dream, a wish – something that could restore his faith as he faces the darkness surrounding him. This song serves as a reminder and an encouragement for us to find our own “pistol in the wood” and hold onto it until we find our way out of the darkness.
