Alex Theme
Akira Yamaoka Lyrics

It started long before me...
The issues and events leading up to this moment began before I was born.

I never saw it coming...
I was not prepared for what was about to happen.

The distance, the promise...
The separation between people and the commitments made.

A state of isolation...
A condition where someone is cut off from others.

And in my darkest nightmare...
In the most frightening and haunting moments of my life.

Things that I can't remember...
Events or moments that are so traumatic that they have been repressed in my memory.

The answer, is drowning, this pain will last forever.
The only solution seems to be to succumb to this agony which seems never-ending.

My father...
My dad - the person who raised me.

His duty...
His responsibility to perform certain actions.

His orders...
The specific instructions he was given to follow.

My brother...
My sibling - someone I grew up with.

The promise...
The commitment made to me.

The breaking...
The violation of that commitment.

Rejection...
The act of refusing or denying something.

Deception...
The use of lies or trickery to deceive someone.

Reflection...
The careful consideration of someone or something.

Conception...
The process of conceiving or originating an idea.

The missing...
The people or things that are not present or are absent.

The torture...
The deliberate infliction of pain or suffering.

The madness...
A state of insanity or craziness.

The sadness...
The feeling of sorrow or unhappiness.

Can this be?
Is it possible for this to be true?

Or is it?
Could there be an alternative explanation?

The shadow cast before me...
The ominous or eerie impression that something is lurking in the background.

A walk inside your circle...
An experience or journey through someone else's reality.

Protect me...
Keep me safe.

Correct me...
Help me to improve or be better.

You got your orders, soldier...
You have been given your mission and must carry it out.

Inside my head is humming...
My thoughts or emotions are constantly active or buzzing.

Sometimes I hear them coming...
At times I anticipate or predict what will happen.

The power...
The ability to control or influence others or events.

Believing...
The act of accepting something as true.

The hate I hate believing...
I despise the fact that there is hatred and violence in the world that is accepted as normal.

Where is this?
I am uncertain where I am or what is happening.

It can't be...
This situation is unlikely or unacceptable.

Who are you?
I do not know who you are.

I know you...
I think I have met you before or am familiar with you.

You wouldn't...
I doubt that you would do this or that.

Or would you?
Perhaps you are capable of performing the unexpected.

Don't fight me!
Do not resist me or refuse to do what I ask.

Ignite me!
Motivate me or make me passionate about something.

My trigger...
What causes me to react emotionally or physically.

Your finger...
The person or event that is responsible for my trigger being activated.

Your darkness...
The negative aspects of your character or behavior.

I know it...
I am certain or confident about something.

Come forward!
Reveal yourself or step into the open.

I've seen it!
I have noticed or observed something that others may not have.

I mean it!
I am being serious and sincere about what I am saying.

Your power, is over!
Your control or influence over me or the situation has come to an end.

I've come to change the order!
I am here to disrupt or challenge the existing system or way of doing things.

My training, is perfect!
I have been prepared or conditioned to perform this task flawlessly.

I'm back, again...
I have returned to this situation or place once more.

Your promise, is broken!
You have failed to keep or honor your commitment to me.

I drank your sacred water...
I was once a part of your group or ideology, but I am now separate from it.

My mission, is holy!
The work or action I am undertaking is of great importance or significance.

The hate I hate believing...
I despise the fact that there is hatred and violence in the world that is accepted as normal.

I never saw it coming...
I was not prepared for what was about to happen.

You have your orders, soldier...
You have been given your mission and must carry it out.
