Song of the Week 4/2/2012 - Oath Sign

This week's song celebrates a number of things! First of all, Fate/Zero Part 2 airs in just a few days. But more importantly, LiSA is coming to Anime Expo!



Lyrics:
Kurikaesu sekai nando te o nobashitara
Hakanai namida wa kuroi kokoro tokasu no?

Mebaedashita omoi ga mune ni hibiita nara
Kimi no tonari de zutto kawarazu mamoru darou

Ochita kibou hirotte asu ni tsunaide yukeba
Karamatta ibitsu na negai datte hodokeru

Hikari o kazashite tamerai o keshita
Agetakatta no wa mirai de
Naiteru yoru daita mama nageki o sakende

Fumiireta ashi o tooku risou ga
Sotto iyashite yuku
Tashika na kizuna o tsuyoku nigiri susumou doko made mo
Kegarekitta kiseki o se ni

Tsukurareta omoi furereba nani yori mo
Atatakakute genjitsu ga kasumihajimeru

Kuruidashita sekai ni toikaketsuzukete mo
Kotae nante denai tte mou kimi wa shitte ita no?

Naite nijinda negai wa kesshite yurugi wa shinakute
Tada sotto itami o owarinaku ataeru

Kanashimi o shitte yorokobi o shitta
Yowasa wa kimi o kaete
Tachidomatta toki hagare subete o kowashita

Todoku hazu no nai kotoba o takushite
Mieta hitomi wa
Nani o kanjite toozakeru no?
Kokoro kakusu you ni

Ima koko ni iru imi
Oshiete kureta nara
Tsuyoku irareru kawarazu itsumo

Hikari o kazashite tamerai o keshita
Agetakatta no wa mirai de
Naiteru yoru daita mama nageki o sakende

Fumiireta ashi o tooku risou ga
Sotto iyashite yuku
Tashika na kizuna o tsuyoku nigiri susumou doko made mo

Mayoi nante me o hiraite
Furiharatte te o nobasou
Kegarekitta kiseki o se ni
If I stretch my hand countless times in this repeating world,
will my ephemeral tears melt this dark heart?

If my budding feelings resonate in my chest
Then I’ll protect you forever, as always, by your side

If I can pick up the fallen hope and join it to tomorrow
Even the entangled, twisted wish will unravel

I held light up high and wiped my hesitation away
What I wanted to give you is in the future
On nights when you weep, cry out your grief while I hold you

Distant ideals will gently heal
my feet that stepped into them
Tightly gripping onto our definite bond, I’ll advance endlessly
Bearing sullied miracles on my back

If I can be in touch with my artificial feelings, they’ll feel warmer
than anything and the reality will start to blur

Even if I kept asking the world that has gone mad
Did you already know that ‘no answer will come forth?’

My tear-stained wish won’t ever waver
It just quietly grants me pain ceaselessly

I learned of sorrow, I learned of joy
Your weaknesses will change you
When I stood still, I cast them aside and destroyed them

Trusting in words that I don’t expect to reach you
I could see your eyes
What do they feel and stay far away from?
As if hiding your heart

If you would tell me
the meaning why I’m here now
Then I can be strong and the same as always

I held light up high and wiped my hesitation away
What I wanted to give you is in the future
On nights when you weep, cry out your grief while I hold you

Distant ideals will gently heal
my feet that stepped into them
Tightly gripping onto our definite bond, I’ll advance endlessly

I’ll open my eyes in my confusion
and shake it off, reaching out my hand
Bearing sullied miracles on my back

Meaning: Many of these songs are a bit too poetic for me and my lack of prose but I'll give it a shot. I think this song describes a pair, one of which is shrouded in despair while the other wishes to dispel that darkness, never giving up.

Why I Like It: LiSA is a fairly new vocalist but she definitely has talent. This song is very powerful and it really gets my adrenaline pumping. Some lines also remind me of Tales of Graces which I am very addicted to at the moment.
