下に向けたまま かざすのを止めた あの時 ALD
Noah サイズの合わない 嘘ばかり並べて
見失い 自ら全てにつまずいた
AS 照らす 影と栄
繰り返す count 明日の零時のサイン
名前も居ない そこに 答えを求めてても
風にとかした 命の rain 投げ捨てない 駆け出しのナミダ
期待も闇も終わりもいらない ゼロになれば 裸足の phrase-1
O どの歌も 掬い方 次第だけで
Mono か 開くかは 誰もが選べる chord 1-A oh oh
I 履けないシューズと共に捨てたレースで
抜かされた時間 追いかけても 辿れない
Need 人は響き合う (響き合う)
分かれた sound 未来の rage の gain
知らない言葉で 鳴らしても 続かない 騒ぐだけの理想達

The lyrics of A/Z by 澤野弘之 are quite deep and metaphorical. The first verse describes a moment in time where the singer stopped looking downward and holding up a false sense of pride to hide their mistakes. The second verse talks about the idea that everyone can choose their own path, their own way of playing a song, and the fear of losing time while trying to keep up with the others. The chorus talks about the need for people to connect, for their sounds to resonate with each other, even though we might not understand each other's words. It also talks about the idea of a light that cannot be seen but can be felt, guiding us towards our answers.
The bridge talks about the futility of chasing ideals, clinging to the past, and trying to overcome obstacles that are impossible to overcome. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and some cryptic phrases that seem to describe a battle or a video game.

This version is much more positive and cheerful than the original, I think. The original version was like fighting through the conflict with bravery, but this is more like the after-peace of a conflict. Like looking up at the sky and thinking of all the hard things that happened, and all the friends lost along the way. But it doesn’t really matter to you anymore, because the sky is blue, the grass is greener, you have your new friends beside you, and most of all, a new you is here. You’ve learned a lot, you’ve gained more than you lost, and you know that the end is also a new beginning, so you keep going on. This would be amazing for the final episode of an anime. I love you Sawano Hiroyuki! You inspire me to work hard. Thank you and your team for this beautiful piece of music.
