When I was cleaning the cabinet two days ago, I accidentally turned to Mayday's "Post-Adolescent Poems", and then I fell in love with this song by accident. To be honest, Mayday is not my type at all, but this song hits my heart. Many people borrowed this song to refer to the movie "Interview with the Vampire". Needless to say, the beauty of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt and the depth of the subject matter itself. But what resonated with me was the movie "Vampire Hunter D". The tragic collision of two beautiful and powerful, the unrequited love between vampires and human beings, and the loneliness of being immortal as a vampire, as well as the fate of D's life experience and Merlink's choice, this song is all about Described vividly.
"God forsaken us / yet wants to give / a bleak moon / light up the world / want us to multiply endlessly and mercilessly". A monster that cannot walk in the sun and the world, a loneliness that is feared and rejected by the world, a race that is not blessed by God. D and Mellink are no exception. One is the strongest hunter who almost died of sunburn due to being too obsessed with the pursuit. Infatuated kind of walking. God gave all things sunshine, but also imposed sanctions on them; God gave all things blessings, but also cursed them.
"Looking at the people I loved / Farewell one by one / Dreams I had / One by one withered". Merlink knew it was impossible, but still broke all taboos for love and eloped with Charlotte. The ambiguous relationship between D and Layla, no matter what the form, ended in the same way - farewell. In the city of night, which is so close at hand, it is helpless to see his lover leave and helpless; after many years, he still keeps a promise that seems to be a joke, but it is actually a deep-rooted loneliness that is briefly understood by others. In the end, "Leaving only me / A thousand years alone".
"Can't wield the purity of an angel / Can't have the resoluteness of the devil". As a very special existence, vampires are destined to not have any conventional attributes. In the eyes of angels, they are devils, and in the eyes of devils, they are aliens. Different from the absurd stories of the Middle Ages, the description of vampires in modern times generally tends to a more positive aspect, although the constant is still the loneliness that comes from fate and the depths of the soul. This trait can be seen in "Interview with the Vampire", "Four Hundred Years" and "Vampire Hunter D". Whether it is a medieval castle or a desert in the future, compared to humans, those "greed, anger, stupidity and ignorance", but the integrity and restraint of those nobles in vampires have never been abandoned. I believe that D's thorn was intentional, and I also believe that D's heart was blessing them when the rocket took off.
Father Polk's words appropriately explained D's life and destiny from another angle. For decades, people invited powerful hunters to rescue their children, and because they were afraid of nobles, they threw stones at him after they rescued the children and drove him out of the village. "I still clearly remember your appearance, the wide-brimmed hat, the pendant on the chest, the long sword on the back, and the handsome face, exactly the same as that time, as expected, half-breeds never grow old. Ah..." What kind of loneliness and determination do you have to bear in order to endure such injustice like D?
"Only day and night and then day and night
Endless days and nights are forever trapped in the world."
