    The song is about some one that have died and has re-awoken as a vampire. Fuki (female) is singing about trying to them trying to hold on to their humanity and Shiren is singing from the hunger side of things trying to get them to feed for the 1st time and be fully re-born. Shiren is actually the lead guitarist, but has an illness/injury Tenosynovitis of the arm/wrist, which is slowly getting better, but he takes a rest from playing and the violinist take over the parts he used to play.
    Here is some info on the band:
    Unlucky Morpheus (UM) were started in 2008, as a side project, by Shiren and Fuki. They were in another band that was also a side project that did covers of video game songs, after the band stopped Fuki told Shiren that she had enjoyed working with him and wanted to do it again, so UM was started. It was just the 2 of them for a number of years. They did Touhou (a video game series in Japan) arrangement albums. After a few years the fans wanted to see them live, so they asked some friends to help them play live. In 2013 they added another member, who is also a singer, whom Shiren also had a side project with, then they slowly added other members, with Jill violin being the last in 2016, at this point it was still a side project, as all the members were in other bands, 1 or 2 still are. It wasn't until about 2017/18 that they started to make it more full time, as they started to release that they had become popular, not only in Japan, but around the world. They did there 1st tour of Japan in 2017 and played out side Japan for the 1st time in Oct 2019 in London, were I saw them. They have said that they want to do a world tour, but that idea is on hold due to the current problems.
    The way they put the band together was a bit different as well. What they did was do some live shows with friends and ask some other people to help them out, they did this over a few shows/years and if they worked together well, they asked them to join the band.
    Fuki (singer) is just a workaholic, in 16 years she has been involved in around 100 releases, mostly full albums. Apart from being in UM she is also in Doll$boxx, a side project between her and Gacharic Spin (pop rock), she also has her own solo act, plus many other things she is part of inc guest appearances. She is also a designer and occasionally does modeling work. Also she is not a trained singer, as she say's it's the way her mother sang and that's where she got it from.
    Shiren (lead Guitar/growls) He has started to do more growls lately due to his arm problem, so they a lot of songs with out the growls. He was also in the 1st Kami band (Babymetal) at Legend "I", he has also been in lots of other bands. He also plays Bass, Keyboards, Piano, Trumpet, Programming, Drums, Percussion, Arrangement, Composition, and various other instruments. He also plays a headless guitar that is sometimes fixed to a stand so he does have to carry the weight of it.
    Jill (violin) is just ........................ What can you say about Jill, that you can't say about the rest of the band, she is just super talented, she is a Tokyo University of the Arts graduate and totally the real deal. Jill also claims to be pitch perfect, and can hear the pitch of rain if she wants to, as when she 1st learnt to play that is how she was taught to learn music, by ear not notes from a sheet. She has her own YT channel (jill violin channel). She has also done and still does work with other bands, some of them are big names in Japan. When she 1st joined the band they did tend to put her down in the mix when they did studio tracks, but now as the fans love her, they have moved her a bit more to the front. They have also started a side project called "Quadratum From Unlucky Morpheus" which is Jinya, Jill, Ogawa, and Fumiya. They are doing instrumental covers and have an album out. Fuki has said that the violin takes the part of the vocalist. Try a violin cover of EVH's "Eruption".
    Ogawa (bass) is really a jazz bassist, he is in the band as he was friends with the other members before he joined. He was a protégé of Mikio Fujioka, who you may know from Babymetal's Kami band, were in a band called Trick Box, way back in 2008.
    Jinya (guitar) has his own band called "Carbonic Acid" and also plays in another band called "Undead Corporation". He has also had to do a bit more of the guitar work due to the problem with Shiren.
    Fumiya (drums) Another member that has had a lot of work with other bands over the years inc Galneryus.
    There is one more member of the band, who you never really see, as he only appears at some of the live shows in Japan. He is another singer, who used to be in 2 other side projects of Shiren's, one of them also had Fuki as well. That is "Kasumi".
    While UM are a metal band, they refer to themselves as a technical melodic speed metal band, they can play other styles, and often do when live. They some times do jazz, smooth, rock, on Christmas day they did a live stream which was very smooth.

    The band was founded by the 2 vocalists, with the other members joining later. The harsh vocalist is actually also a guitarist, but he has a hand condition that bothers him if he plays long periods, so he uses a guitar stand, and during songs where he does vocals what were originally guitar parts are basically played on the violin instead.

    Congrats on finding Unlucky Morpheus-one of the best, most creative bands in the world today. You just reacted to my top suggestion for a live clip: “Angreifer”. (An-Gry-fer--it's a German word).
    Amid all the (justified) excitement over the Japanese all-female metal bands, we forget there are plenty of guys who throw down. Shiren, founder and one of the guitarists, also does the growls. Fumiya (Drums) is, as you saw, insane and inexhaustible-one of the best rock drummers in the world. Jinya (G) and Ogawa (B) are solid as well. Fumiya and Ogawa also have interesting, “beast” personae which contrast with the “beauty” of Fuki and Jill. That contrast is a deliberate trope, similar to the “Beauty and the Beast” imagery of many European symphonic metal bands.
    Fuki (lead singer) is a legend in Japan, and one of the busiest artists anywhere. She is lead singer for UM, Doll$boxx, Lightbringer and her own ongoing project, Fuki Commune. Her style is very much out of the Japanese classical tradition, with the oversold vibrato and intense high notes. She collaborates with a lot of the top musical talents in Japan. Jill (violin) also has a busy dance card, including collaborations with Fuki outside UM. I consider her the best rock/jazz/metal violinist in the world today, and probably the best since Jean-Luc Ponty.
    Jill is actually my favorite member of Unlucky Morpheus. Here are links to instrumentals featuring her in UM’s instrumental project Quadratum:

    Cover of Malmsteen "Far Beyond the Sun" ruclips.net/video/E2hZDzJp9Pc/видео.html Cover of Dream Theater, played blindfolded: ruclips.net/video/8eZVVtaOBKk/видео.html
    I saw UM live in London in 2019, when they headlined Metal Matsuri. Great show, and the chemistry between Fuki and Jill was electric.
