Um...honestly, Dir en Grey have lyrically (and musically) evolved to more of an alternative metal/punk band. The lyrics are >good<.
Suicide, social criticism, abortion, sexual abuse of children, incest, oh and lovesongs.
That kind of stuff's most of their songs about.
Personally, I like Drain Away, 24 Cylinders and Mushi.
Toshiya is an awesome bass player.
And Shinya a living drumming machine.
Otherwise, they are average (I can play the guitar stuff *g*), though Kyo has a very characteristic voice.
