I - Lyrics' key words:

What's or who's the Beast?
Ok, our proposition is a little crazy... A Beast can have meanings like: someone that can't understand, is immoral or insane, stupid or also: Someone brutal and dangerous... And in witchcraft and mythologies: beasts symbolize demons generally.
Ali Kei's proposition is: A DEMON that possess a human's body. Again! Ali Kei isn't saying that we believe in demons or say that they exist, but let's just take it as... An another personnality that is dangerous, and there is NO WAY to communicate or have a pacific accord with it... Mental disorders also can have this meaning! Having an another self which is so dangerous to control, a beast. But with the progress of the lyrics some things may make it more clear...

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe?
According to Bickerton, it means “Catch a nigger by the toe”, but we're not talking about racism here, but the nigger BEAR that is near Ruki... the nigger BEAST, the Jakin.

Mr. ABNORMAL?
An allusion! There is a Marvel character called "Mister Abnormal" it's a man who collected everything he could. In th context of this song it's more like ... Madara from Naruto who collects the "BEASTS INSIDE" ... -give me your beast-

DEEP INSIDE
The deep inside or deep nature of the being, maybe an another personnality or an another being.

SECRET?
Illness, possession or another personnality carrying anyway, it should be a secret... Unless you want others to treat you of insane, or have pity of you telling you yeah you're right and all they do in your back is laughing...


UGLY FEELINGS?
It gives self-hate, it may push to suicide, lost of identity, you don't know who you are.

II - Lyrics' analysis:

You can find translation of the song HERE

So what I suggest is:

A dialogue between someone or an organisation that wants to TAKE AWAY your DEEP INSIDE/BEAST INSIDE, and someone who have a BEAST inside herself/himself...

Let's call the one who wants to take the BEAST: Mr.Abnormal, and let's call the BEAST carrier Initiate.

What I also would say before defining these lyrics is:

-the GazettE are anti-masons.
-They used TOO MUCH masonic symbols in the PV that only means one thing: the Mr.Abnormal is the FREEMASONRY. And the Beast Carrier is each person having A TREASURE DEEP INSIDE herself/himself and has been Initiated to the Freemasonic teaching...
The PV's meaning is coming after this.


So here is the DIALOGUE, just as an initation dialogue:
The Feminine Voice: Freemasonic attraction, advertisment.
Ruki's Voice: the Beast Carrier / Initiate's voice.
The Ruki's robotised Voice [let's call it the Dark Voice]: The Beast's Voice.

Mr.Abnormal: Give me your beast.
The Dark Voice: Please choose
Mr.Abnormal: Eeny,meeny,miny,moe…
Initiate: Die or Suck my beast
The Dark Voice: MR.ABNORMAL, my feeling is not cheap at all, you don’t know it, you will turn your fang on me someday, with a borrowed fang
Initiate: Bite off my skin and cell, but you cannot eat my deep inside, you kneel down and beg to me
Mr.Abnormal: Give me your beast.
The Dark Voice: GET OUT. NOTORIOUS BABY, GAGAGAGAGAGA SEXY GARBAGE
Mr.Abnormal: Give me your beast.
Initiate: Dear Psychedelic, you drew in black on my eyelids, the publication: No doubt and stuff! This song’s the beast inside of me!
Mr.Abnormal: Show your beast.
Initiate: I have a headache, I’m about to go crazy, Is this self-hate? Erase my dirty beast inside, I have a headache, I’m about to go crazy, Nobody helps me, Erase my dirty beast inside
Advanced Initiate: Don’t give the secret away to anyone, No matter what, This ugly feelings wanna be hide by anyone. [Ugly inside’s top secret]

Résumé of the SONG's MEANING:

Freemasonry wants to take away what's deep inside you, and what I mean by you is you who is SPECIAL...
It's a big house where this world is crossed with an another, a damian floor, two pillars in the threshold, it attracks you in anonymously, and everyone there is hiding in a room and won't be involved with others, the Twin Two Pillars Jakin and Boaz (twin girls in the PV) symbolize the path of initiation, when Ruki opened it he found "himself"... He was well dressed, but once he entered the room, crossed the threshold of the room he turned to what he was on the bed... Mentally sick... As an evolved Initiate, the advise is: the ugly inside is top secret, don't try to understand it by entering to the last chamber of the House of Freemasonry...

III - PV's analysis:

Now let's talk about the PV

the ornments and environment!

The BLACK CAR symbolizes darkness, occult and in secret, Ruki arrives anonymously. The Freemasonic tradition choosed the black limousine as the vehicule that leads the CORPSE to its GRAVE... A tradition followed by a lot of humans...

The TWIN GIRLS symbolize the Twin Pillars Jakin and Boaz of Freemasonry, pillars of equilibrium, Libra of the Universe, also the Leaders in the masonic path (they lead Ruki's walk)

The HOUSE symbolizes the MASONIC TEMPLE or FREEMASONIC TEMPLE.

The DAMIAN FLOOR inside the House symbolizes the crossing of Darkness & Light, to be and not to be.

The CROWD & PEOPLE in the HALL of the House, we see them disappearing, we only see people in the HALL of the HOUSE! Like said the French authors Eric Giacometti and Jacques Ravenne: "Masonry is a Big House where a lot of Brothers are condamned in its HALL. They will never understand the real sens of our work." ... Only few excel...

The HAT of the Butler symbolizes the MASONIC MASTER and also the MEDIUM between Earth and the Sky, Darkness and Light, he's the organisator somehow of the PARTY.

The closed DOORS, symbolize the beginning of the Ritual.

The CORRIDOR symbolizes just as the Stairs, the path of Initiation, and progress in the degrees.

The BEARS near Ruki, Black and White symbolize the Jakin and Boaz PILLARS, but each time Ruki says BEAST, Ruki takes the Black one in his hands... And

Ruki's chamber, (see the orders further in this article) refers a little to this... dues to the order)

The Ruki waiting in the Room is the BEAST INSIDE unleashed on Ruki, a little "depressed" and "maniac".

Now let's talk about the Rooms Ruki go through BY ORDER:
The order of room show is:

1. URUHA
2. REITA
3. AOI
4. KAI
5. RUKI

URUHA! The eyes covered and the hands bound, it's how the person is Initiated in Freemasonry... With some other details not shown like a knot around the neck etc, it symbolizes the APPRENTICE, degree n°1. But in the second scene he rises against the guitar playing Uruha, kind of progress. The way the curtains are put in the PV also looks like these... Colors are important yes... But the color's code is violated in witness...

REITA! Burning a paper on a BLACK CANDLE, I'd like to call the paper a Talisman, and the magic effect won't be done until it burns... Anyway it symbolizes the MASTER's degree (n°3). And in the second scene Reita is shown burning the BOARD is a sign of passing the Apprentice, Compagnon and Master's degree, which means, going from the 4th to the 18th degrees...

AOI! Dancing with a masqued woman, black dressed, silver mask, and once he leaves her fall, she doesn't move, just like a corpse. A dance with a mask can have a Martinist allusion... This scene symbolizes the degrees between the 4th and 18th degrees...

KAI! Having a whipe in the RIGHT hand and controling a head-covered man with the LEFT hand, a symbol of the assyrian god GILGAMESH, a symbol of the "spirit that beats the blind power" and "spirit of perfection's quest, elevation and access to immortal life" (sounds crazy for the GazettE? Really? DOGMA isn't that "not crazy" I swear), It's a symbol of the Rose+Croix Knight, a title in masonry that goes from the 18th to the 30th degree.

RUKI! Sitting between a BLACK and WHITE "BEAR"... I honestly didn't understood the bear thing... But it sounds more like an allusion to a mental illness... But well, for me, Ruki's chamber symbolizes the latest titles of the Scottish Rite, the Kadosh Knight title from the 30th to the 33th degree. Kadosh Knight, also called Knight of the BLACK and WHITE "EAGLE" ... Yeah there is a big difference between eagles and bears... That's why I find this offensive ...

I don't know but .... All I understand from this Music Clip is already told ... And I'm pretty sure that this interpretation is better than saying that it's a "pedophilia, bdsm, pyromania and play-boy" PV :)

Résumé of PV's MEANING

The PV shows the path of who enters the Great House of Freemasonry... The Hall, the Corridor, the Rooms and the Edge (depending on the GazettE's vision, which isn't very nice about FM) ...

Here are some beautiful screenshoots:

The MASTER puts a black hat and white gloves... Nothing new right?

This is the masonic symbol: Square and Compass. Also represents the Arcana n°VII from the Tarots: the Chariot of Hermes!

IV - Final Résumé

Message of the INSIDE BEAST

Truth Seeker? You've a treasure within you? Don't look for ways to discover it, don't look for help to find the treasure, don't ask for it! Because those who pretend having the keys and treasure maps are the one who will use to find it and take it of you .... Give me your BEAST!

And I surely.... Love the GazettE and... Love freemasonry... But I don't know why, I find this song offensive even though I REALLY LOVE IT! ...

This analysis IS NOT OFFICIAL. And I wish I'm wrong.

With all respect to the GazettE and Freemasonry.
