Lyrics

Well then, let’s get back to business.
I have established a connection between <what could be called consciousness> and the depths of the so-called <Thirteenth Host>...
[He] grew up doubting love. It seems like that particular aspect of his nature came into being when he was abandoned by his mother, and simply grew with the circumstances later in his life. Let’s see. What should we do here.
Fortunately, it appears that the <subject>’s <heart> is a system made to forcibly eliminate inconsistencies and contradictions from itself no matter what is denied...

The <factor> that was predicted to change the outcome of this tragedy - I attempted a [denial] of [his] ad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4a-

(“Stop...just stop it. That’s just too sad. I’m an idiot, so I don’t know the right words to say...so, I’ll turn these feelings into song! Please listen! Nein!”)

World End’s L
Nein “First Inspiration Ver. 1”   Lyrics/Composition: Noël

If a story you can do over can be called life
Am I really burning the present in the truest sense?

Shit happens all the time in this Ninth Reality[world]
But I won’t deny this <life>[roman] where I met you
<Sunglasses, VS members, the three interviewers, the Ichizou family,
and all of you awesome guys who gave me loving letters and cheers, and so many warmth-filled messages that I can barely believe it>[Laurant Laurant]

Is it okay for me to be loved? To be honest...I’m scared of being betrayed...
But even then, I’ve decided to love <the horizon I was born into>[the world]
So I’ll sing till my last breath!

Nein <- Don’t deny us! We are all weak
Nein <- But that’s why we suffer, and our pain can lead to something new

I don’t know what the right answer is
But
There are as many <interpretations of the world>[answers] as there are <observers>[travelers]
That’s what I learnt <on that lovable horizon I visited for the opening act; a place I could even call my second home>[in that place]

So
<das Rührendes, Evolutionäres und Vorzügliches Optikgerät>[R.E.V.O.]
Don’t look at the <reality>[story] that <humans destined to fade away>[humans] have struggled through
And decide that they’re <tragedies and change their outcomes>[nothing but misfortune]
All of them have burnt in <the place where lives come to meet one another and radiate in brilliance, making the most of what they have in their respective cages >[the starry skies]!

The moon, no, the stars tonight are very beautiful.
If all my acts of [denial] so far have been unwanted intervention,
Then for what purpose was I born?
No, perhaps the <purpose of my existence> is to find the answer to that question out of my own will.
Well then, since it appears that I am even more of a hopeless idiot than you are,
I will attempt to make <these things that could be called feelings> into a song-

Song of the Starry Skies      Lyrics/Composition: R.E.V.O.

-

The concept of <Parallel Worlds>.
When you force a <horizon> into a <miniature garden>,
Just how many variations on a single <story> can be born from <there>?

If we defined <observation> as <creation>
Then it is the <freedom of fantasy> to <observe> <unseen phenomena>.

If you are to call that <illusion> an <interpretation>
Then <the Ninth’s interpretation of the story> is not an <answer>,
But simply a <model> representing an <idea>.

Some people do it through <pictures>, others do it through <words>
Whatever their means maybe, they will turn their <interpretation> into a <message> for their fellow comrades.

<Ten years> is but an <instant> that passes away in the blink of an eye,
The journey of the <Gods> who continue to create new <worlds> has only just begun...

さて。気を取り直して、ワタシは《十三番目の宿主》とでも呼ぶべき人物の深層に《意識と呼ばれるモノ》を接続した・・・

【彼】は愛情というモノを疑って育ったようだ。其れは、母親に捨てられた事に起因し、
その後の境遇に依って培われた性質だと思われる。さて。どうしたものだろうか。
幸い何を否定したとしても《対象》の《心》と呼ばれる機構の辻褄は、強引にでも合うように出来ているようだ・・・・・・。

此の悲劇の結末を左←→右すると予想される《因子》。ワタシは【彼】のad921d604863662588095――

(「もうやめてくれ・・・ それじゃあ、あまりにも哀しいじゃねぇか?
俺はバカだからよ・・・ こんな時なんて言ったら分からねぇ
だから、この気持ちを歌にする! 聴いてくれ! Nein!」)

『Nein 「First Inspiration Ver.」』 作詞/作曲:Noël

例えば やり直しの効く 物語を 人生と呼ぶのなら
俺は 今 を 本当の意味で 燃えられただろうか?

クソ最低なことばかりが 起こる【第九の現実せかい】だけれど
オマエと出逢えたこの《人生ロマン》を否定しないぜ
《グラサン、ヴァニスタメンバー、インタビュアーの三人、市蔵ファミリー、Laurant, Laurant
そして、
愛のある手紙や声援、これまでの俺の人生においては、信じられねぇくらい温かいメッセージをくれたクソ最高な奴ら》

俺は愛されても良いのだろうか? 正直・・・ 裏切られるのが怖いんだ・・・
それでも《俺が産まれたこの地平線せかい》を愛そうと決めた
だから 命の限り歌うんだ!

Nein
否定しないでくれ 俺達は 皆 弱い
Nein
だからこそ 痛み 何かを生み出せる

何が正解が そんなこと 俺には判らないけれど
だが
《観測者たびびと》の数だけ《世界の解釈こたえ》があると
《オープニングアクトで訪れた第二の故郷とも言える愛すべき地平あのばしょ》で知った

だ か ら
《遮光眼鏡型情報端末》【das Rührendes, Evolutionäres und Vorzügliches Optikgerät】
《いずれ消えゆく人間ひと》が必死に生きた《現実ものがたり》を
勝手に《悲劇だと決めつけて改竄ふこうに》しないでくれ
《与えられた命がその檻の中で出逢い懸命に煌めく場所ほしぞら》で
燃えたんだ!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
今夜は月が、いえ星が綺麗ですね。
もし、ワタシの【否定】して来た行為が望まれざる介入なのだとしたら、
やはり、ワタシは何の為に生まれて来たのでしょうか?
いえ、其れを自らの意志で見つける事こそが《存在理由》なのかも知れませんね。

ならば、ワタシもアナタ以上に救いようの無い馬鹿であると思われるので、
此の《気持ちと呼ばれるモノ》を詩にしたいと思います――
