Chrono Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I've found that is a great song emphasizing the massive amount of guilt and depression that Szeth feels as he slowly goes insane. The lyrics especially capture his helplessness as he descends further and further. "I'm just tired of even walking. I don't even understand people." is just one example. It's J-pop, so if you don't like that sort of thing, lyrics will be put in spoilers below. Even in the midst of flowing time Oppression spins round and round I can't even see the heart that's leaving me, Didn't you know? I can't even get myself to move Slipping through the cracks of time I don't know anything about what's around me I'm just me and no more Am I dreaming? Or seeing nothing? Are my words useless even if I speak? I'm just tired of being sad I should go on without feeling anything Even if you gave me the words I'm at a loss for My heart just won't pay attention If I can move, if everything changes It will go dark Is there a future for a person like me? Will I still exist in a world like this? Is this painful? Is it sad? Not even knowing myself? I'm just tired even of walking I don't even understand people If someone like me can change if I change, will it all turn white? Even in the midst of flowing time Oppression spins round and round I can't even see the heart that's leaving me, Didn't you know? I can't even get myself to move Slipping through the cracks of time I don't know anything about what's around me I'm just me and no more Am I dreaming? Or seeing nothing? Are my words useless even if I speak? I'm just tired of being sad I should go on without feeling anything Even if you gave me the words I'm at a loss for My heart just won't pay attention If I can move, if everything changes It will go dark is there a future to come out of this useless time? Will I exist in a place like this? If I wanted to tell you what kind of person I am The words I'd use would be "good for nothing" Will I exist in a place like this? Will I exist in a time like this? If someone like me can change If I change, will it turn white? Am I dreaming? Or seeing nothing? Are my words useless even if I speak? I'm just tired of being sad I should go on without feeling anything Even if you gave me the words I'm at a loss for My heart just won't pay attention If I can move, if everything changes It will go dark If I move, if I move Everything will break, everything will break If I'm sad, if I grieve will my heart be able to turn white? I still know nothing about you, about me, about anything If I can open my heavy eyelids If I break everything, then let it turn black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
