Wana pv (The Back Horn) ~ This is the first ending theme to Gundam 00 (for those who didn't know or thought I didn't know)


zetsubou wa amai wana tozasareta sono tobira
kokora ga senjou dakara dare nimo oshienai

Despair is an sweet trap, a door that shuts you in.
My heart is a battlefield, so I can't tell anyone.

zenmai no shinzou ga unmei ni ayatsurare
buriki no heitaitachi wa satsuriku wo hajimeru

Their clockwork hearts are manipulated by destiny,
The tin-plate soldiers begin their massacre.

inochi sae mo moteasobu noka kowarekaketa otogi no kuni de
mune no oku ni hashiru itami wo douka zutto wasurenu mama de

Are lives playthings too, in this crumbling fairy tale kingdom?
Please, don't ever forget the pain that runs deep in your heart.

yokubou wa doku ringo te ni ireta mono wa nani?
mirai no kodomotachi eto nokoseru mono wa nani?

Desire is a poisoned apple. What is it that you have obtained?
What are we going to pass on to the children of tomorrow?

ai wo shirazu yureru yurikago moetsukiteku nemuri no mori de
tomo ni ikiru yorokobi sae mo kieteshimau tooku

The rocking cradle that knows not love, in this sleeping forest as it burns to the ground,
You are so distant that even the joy of being alive with you is disappearing.

yasashisa wo shinji subete wo yurushite
itsukushimu you ni tada wakachiatte wakariatte

Believe in kindness and forgive everything.
Share with others, understand each other, so that we may learn to love.

inochi sae mo moteasobu noka kowarekaketa otogi no kuni de
mune no oku ni hashiru itami wo douka zutto wasurenu mama de

Are lives playthings too, in this crumbling fairy tale kingdom?
Please, don't ever forget the pain that runs deep in your heart.

ai wo shirazu yureru yurikago naze bokura wa umareta no darou
haruka kanata inori no you na komoriuta ga hibiku

The rocking cradle that knows not love, why were we born into this world?
In faraway lands, the prayer-like lullaby resounds.

yasashisa wo shinji subete wo yurushite
itsukushimu you ni tada wakachiatte wakariatte

Believe in kindness and forgive everything.
Share with others, understand each other, so that we may learn to love.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like this song. Normally I like more cheerful sounding songs but I like the passion and aggressiveness in this. I also think the lyrics are pretty neat ~ they ask a good question and bring up some interesting thoughts. A lot of the lyrics are pretty dark but there are a couple stanza/line things that are like a ray of light. The song points out a few good things ~ like the part at the beginning that says "despair is a sweet trap" and a few others (too lazy to type out). I like how the song is both talking about people in general and also bringing it to a more personal note ~ "You are so distant that even the joy of being alive with you is disappearing." for instance.
