Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

馴染めた白 鳥かご隅
鼓動獲たツボミも
置き去り声 眩めた 記憶の影

I need your blood
You read love 唱える
足掻く red light
嗅ぎ分けた音|音と
こじ開けた reason が
ただ平行に並ぶ

罪 音 live and 死 and I
疑似 side heaven
キリがない「欲しい」でも
利害鳴る鈴
懺悔さえ乾いた 4拍子が
奏でたズレを辿る
木漏れ日の 赤が 騒ぐ

I must be sacrificed
So can I help you all?
I'll be a scapegoat if I can
My resolution failed
And all who died
Light of day still hurts me

You so need to know
You don't need to go
You're waiting right here
A way for me to make it back
Some way I won't need to attack
Everything has gone so wrong

Come on break it down for me!
A river will flow
You are not my enemy
I'll let you prove me wrong
You can trust me when I say
It won't be long
We're gonna see the end of night
Don't forsake me now
We haven't got the time

The fallen angels
I run with all know
It's our fear that makes us
All human after all
Torn old sepia photographs show
Our fragile little world
Must reject it, respond to the
Calling, screaming inside of my soul
It's my fear of loving what's dearest to us all
Sun is fading
It will set forever

Are you still my family?
A river will flow
You are not my enemy
I'll let you prove me wrong
You can trust me when I say
It won't be long
We're gonna see the end of night

Come on break it down for me
A river will flow
Key がない「欲しい」でも
利害鳴る鈴
懺悔さえ乾いた 4拍子が
奏でた意図を辿る
木漏れ日の 赤が 騒ぐ

The fallen angels
I run with all know
It's our fear that makes us
All human after all
Torn old sepia photographs show
Our fragile little world
Must reject it, respond to the
Calling, screaming inside of my soul
It's my fear of loving what's dearest to us all




Sun is fading
It will set forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "scaPEGoat" by 澤野弘之 convey a sense of desperation and sacrifice. The song begins with the image of a white bird in a cage, and a memory that is both dazzling and forgotten. The singer is in need of someone else's blood and is struggling to break free from a red light that seems to be suffocating them. The chorus delivers the message of the singer's willingness to be a scapegoat if it means helping others, although they acknowledge that their resolution has failed and they feel responsible for those who died.


As the song progresses, the singer questions if they are still part of a family and if others see them as an enemy. They call on a river to flow and reject their fragile world. The fallen angels are also mentioned repeatedly, suggesting a sense of loss and longing. The song ends with a powerful image of the sun fading away forever.


Overall, "scaPEGoat" presents a complex meditation on sacrifice, responsibility, and fear. It conveys a sense of struggling against something bigger and more powerful than oneself, but also a willingness to sacrifice oneself for the greater good.

"Mika loved you. He gave his life for you."

"Hey, Asuramaru. What are you picking on my Mika for? If you mess with him, I'll be seriously ticked with you!"

"Don't worry Mika. Even if the world were to end tomorrow, it wouldn't matter because I'm here with you."

"What is it?! What is your greatest desire?!"

"My greatest desire...is to save Mika."

"You lie! That is not what you desire the most. Why the obsession with Mikaela?!"

"Mika, I'll save you."

It is impressive how he can switch from Japanese to English so fluidly.

@asphyxia9786

@Mugen00 It's been like three years since op commented but I think they mean how the English parts sound very clear, you can make out the words in English just as easily as you can the Japanese. It also doesn't break up the flow of the song
