LOVEBITES - Dystopia Symphony lyrics & credits:
Like it's an end of world
Making me fall apart
Pushing me to the edge of the darkness
Taking my breath away, and now it taking away my emotion

Why was I the one He chosen
Hear me cry when I'm running away from the storm
It's almost right behind me

The shade of moon above, wandering high in sky
Following everywhere in a silence
The shower of the light melting into the sleeping deep night

Lost in maze, it's all I hear now
Echo in my mind from far away
Wish to hold it in my heart to feel the love

Sadness, madness, edginess, and sense of loss
Breaking through tragedy, somewhere
There is much more to see beyond
I stand to face bravely

God, Heavenly light
Shining in deep beneath
Bringing a life to crystal bloom
Heavenly bless
Lay me in peace with this melody

SOLO: midori / miyako / both

Like it's an end of world
Making me fall apart
Pushing me to the edge of the darkness
Taking my breath away, and now it taking away my emotion

Why was I the one He chosen
Hear me cry when I'm running away from the storm
It's almost right behind me

Sadness, madness, edginess, and sense of loss
Breaking through tragedy, somewhere
There is much more to see beyond
I stand to face bravely

God, Heavenly light
Shining in deep beneath
Bringing a life to crystal bloom
Heavenly bless
Lay me in peace with this melody

Heavenly light
Shining in deep beneath
Bringing a life to crystal bloom
Heavenly bless
Lay me in peace with this melody

[The following is from an interview for the Japanese edition of LOVEBITES magazine]
👑🎤Asami👑: "Dystopia Symphony" was based on Beethoven's "Pathetique," and we built the song into a suite-like piece from there.
💚🎸Midori💚: This is probably the first time we've done something this heavily focused on progressive rock.😈
P.S.
The synchronized playing of M(Midori)&M(G and piano Miyako) in the solo guitar section clearly indicates that it is based on the "Pathétique."🤗

This is the best metal performance I've ever seen in my life. Miyako is a generational talent.

welcome to the wonderful world of lovebites. this band is a phenomenon: in their backcatalogue of around 80 songs there is no bad or mediocre song. they are one of the veeery rare bands with perfection playing, that give you so much emotions and energy and power too.

Quick note: the black-haired guitarist is also the song's composer. Her name is Miyako, and she's been playing the piano since she was three—she's now at a concert level. The lyrics are by the singer, Asami. Then there's the other guitarist, Midori; Fami has been on bass since 2022; and Haruna is on drums. My suggestion for something faster: “Soldier Stands Solitarily” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30yWisiRBuM  or something a bit slower: “Frozen Serenade”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae8pQVu-RN8  In this video, you can also see the former bassist, Miho

congratulations, you have just discovered the best band on the planet  ! 😀
metal + grace + elegance + beauty + sympathy + great musicians + great songs = LOVEBITES !!!

Their musicality, technique, and visuals are world-class bands. Of course, regardless of gender. I think it will be more popular from now on.

Nice reaction! Thanks.  In a few months of dining on Lovebites' music, you'll notice that not only do you physically feel better but your general mood will improve, and you'll look at life in a different way. A better way. A clearer way. Congrats.

WELCOME TO THE WOLFPACK FAMILY (fans around the world)our queens are built different,dig more and you will be amazed more,🐺🤘🏻🫰🏻🫶🏻🔥♥️

You have just seen the very best Japan has to offer in melodic/symphonic power metal.
But they do it all, thrash, speed, and sometimes just plain heavy.

You were right the first time.  Only 100 musicians are anywhere near this level of proficiency on their respective instruments and even less can play together so perfectly.  Asami's vocals are special too.  You selected a great song and performance to start your Lovebites journey.
