Tranquility
Anly & SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It only takes one lone soul
It only takes one in a thousand
The absence of fear in your eyes

No, that's not bravery
As children we learn it's wrong
To put out the light of another
Our innocence lost over time
Means to an end

It's hard to hold your head up high
But we must try

Sway together in the dark
It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end
And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday
And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart with the light
And we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky
Thinking why they have to die
Just face to face we can hear
A voice telling us it's wrong
Counting the stars in the sky
It was like a lullaby

For sunsets I'll break the rules
We learnt playing down in the heather
The secrets behind all the veils
We just use other words
For freedom we make our charge
For friendship we bare down on others
Can't one of you just calculate
Tranquility?

It's hard to hold your head up high
But we must try

Sway together in the dark
It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end
And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday
And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

Sway together in the dark
It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end
And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday
And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart with the light
And we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky
Thinking why they have to die
Just face to face we can hear
A voice telling us it's wrong




Counting the stars in the sky
It was like a lullaby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tranquility" explore themes of innocence, fear, compassion, and the struggle to maintain peace in a world filled with conflict. The opening lines, "It only takes one lone soul, It only takes one in a thousand, The absence of fear in your eyes," suggest that a single individual can have a profound impact on creating a peaceful environment. It emphasizes the power of a fearless and compassionate presence.


The next lines, "No, that's not bravery, As children we learn it's wrong, To put out the light of another, Our innocence lost over time, Means to an end," highlight the idea that true bravery is not about causing harm or taking away someone's light, but rather preserving innocence and nurturing compassion. It reflects on the loss of innocence that occurs as we grow up and how it can drive us towards conflict as a means to an end.


The following lines, "Sway together in the dark, It's supposed to be, 'Cause I want to know the end, And you never ever need to fight, But you're fighting everyday, And I don't know when your light will go out, Innocent crying child, The heart of your enemy," suggest a longing for unity and peace. The artist expresses a desire to understand the reason behind the constant fighting, questioning why innocent individuals (symbolized by the crying child) become the heart of the enemy. It conveys a plea to find a way out of this cycle of conflict.


The final lines, "My heart to heart with the light, And we always get along, Counting the stars in the sky, Thinking why they have to die, Just face to face we can hear, A voice telling us it's wrong, Counting the stars in the sky, It was like a lullaby," depict a connection between the individual's own light (symbolic of their inner compassion) and the desire for peace. Counting stars in the sky is a calming activity, akin to a lullaby, that inspires introspection. It suggests that through heartfelt connections and listening to the voice within, we can understand the wrongness of violence and seek a path towards tranquility.

孤独な魂が一つ
ものめずらしい魂が一つ
瞳からは恐怖が抜け落ちている
それは勇敢さとは違うようで
私たちは子供みたいに
人を傷つけることはどういうことか、理解する
無垢な季節が過ぎてしまえば
あとは終わりに向かうだけ

あなたを救うことはできないかもしれない
だけど私たちは立ち向かう

一緒に闇を支配しよう
きっと出来るはず
だって私はこの世の果てを知りたいの
それにあなたは戦いを望んでいないのに
毎日戦っていて
いつ力尽きてしまうか分からないから

汚れなき子供が泣いている
あなたの敵は、その心

私のありのままの心は、光と共にある
私とあなたは本当は、同じでしょう
空の星を数えて
なぜ彼らが死を抱えているか、考えてみる
私たちは過ちを正す声に直面している
空の星を数えてみる
子守唄みたいだった

Lyrics:

It only takes one lone soul
It only takes one in a thousand
The absence of fear in your eyes
No, that’s not bravery
As children we learn it’s wrong
to put out the light of another
Our innocence lost over time
Means to an end

It’s hard to hold your head up high
But we must try

Sway together in the dark
It’s supposed to be
‘Cos I want to know the end
and you never ever need to fight
But you’re fighting everyday
And I don’t know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart with the light
and we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky
thinking why they have to die
Just face to face we can hear
a voice telling us it’s wrong
Counting the stars in the sky
It was like a lullaby

For sunsets I’ll break the rules
We learnt playing down in the heather
The secrets behind all the veils
We just use other words
For freedom we make our charge
For friendship we bare down on others
Can’t one of you just calculate
Tranquility?

It’s hard to hold your head up high
But we must try

Sway together in the dark
It’s supposed to be
‘Cos I want to know the end
and you never ever need to fight
But you’re fighting everyday
And I don’t know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

Sway together in the dark

‘Cos I want to know the end
and you never ever need to fight
But you’re fighting everyday
And I don’t know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart with the light
and we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky
thinking why they have to die
Just face to face we can hear
a voice telling us it’s wrong
Counting the stars in the sky

*this song literally tells the whole story of lotgh series so beautifully <3*


sway together in the dark, its supposed to be - people should work together during dire times and not exploit each other

cause i wanna know the end and you never ever need to fight - they want to know how they can end the fighting so that their loved ones dont have to die anymore

but you're fighting everyday and i dont know when your light will go out - even while thinking about the end their loved ones in the battlefield is fight and theres no telling when they will die

innocent crying child, the heart of your enemy - no matter how bad the enemy, they have a weakness for their own people

my heart to heart with the light and we always get along - when the opposing parties try to understand each other, they get along well

counting the stars in the sky thinking why they have to die - there has been as many sacrifices as there are stars in the sky

just face to face we can hear, a voice telling us its wrong - when they speak to each other they learn how their mistakes and they hear voices from the dead ones

counting the stars in the sky, it was like a lullaby - after ending the conflict, counting the stars puts them and their people to sound sleep

Lyrics:
It only takes one more soul
It only takes one in the thousand
The absence of fear in your eyes
No past, no bravery

As children we learn it's wrong
To put out the light of another
Our innocence lost over time
Begins to end

It's hard to hold your hand up high
But we must try

Swear together in the dark
It's supposed to be
'Cause I wanna know the end
You never ever need to find

But you're fighting every day
And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart
With your light
And we always get along
Counting the stars
In the sky
Thinking "Why they have to die?"

Just face the facts
We can hear
I was telling yours is wrong
Counting the stars
In the sky
It was like a lullaby

Oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh ah-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh

Swear together in the dark
It's supposed to be
'Cause I wanna know the end
You never ever need to find

But you're fighting every day
And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart
With your light
And we always get along
Counting the stars
In the sky
Thinking "Why they have to die?"

Just face the facts
We can hear
I was telling yours is wrong
Counting the stars
In the sky
It was like a lullaby
