Last Of War
Exile Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

祝福の間も束の間
絶望を知らせるあなたは?
さよならと呟き笑った
最後の通告をしにきた
山積みの死体 命が痛い
その横で勝利の叫びに期待
見たくもねぇし聴きたくもねぇ
悪夢の様な現実が痛ぇ
震える指 もう用済み
助けを求め凍える君
わずかな力振りしぼり
高々と声を上げたね
何人何万ヒトが死ねば
終わるのかこの戦いは
どこで誰が望んだ
撃ちあえば残るのは傷だ
なぜ争いが欲しい?
その後に何が欲しい?
バッタバッタと肉切り裂いて
本当に自分らしいか
どうだ理想と現実
まのあたりにしてから幻滅
今日一日で何人の灯が
息絶えたか分かるか
戦場凱旋なんて
ハナタレ暴君がのりこむ作戦
笑っちまうようなボンボン色が
荒稼ぎしてまたボロもうけ
今日も明日も砲弾投げ
恐怖も疑問もみんな振り捨て
やけも起こすような前線エリアで
思っちゃいけない誰かのせいには
We got find out freedom
No war Keep it forever
We got find out freedom
No war Keep it forever
逃げる背中向ける銃口
血で血をあらう無駄な抗争
もうやめろ本当に
ウンザリだよ No war
どうしてヒトを殺すの
なぁアンタもヒトだろ
どうしてヒトを殺すの
アンタも同じヒトだろ
馬鹿な支配者哀れだ
満足か実際お前は?
ふざけんなお前にわかるか
殺された家族の痛みが
止まらぬ見栄 お国の為
違うだろ本当は自分の為
まだやまぬ悲鳴に犠牲
平和だけ 平和だけ
Hey! Yo! Peace and love
胸にかかげて せめて
心は想いまとめて
今日もキナくさい戦場まで
自由を求めて行進パレード
雨あられの銃弾
目をそむける死体散乱
団欒奪うような戦争なら
本当は違う道があるから
さぁ今立ち上がれ
心の矛盾をさぁ振りほどけ
希望が差し込む方へ歩こう
今日も止まらず
あせらずたまらず my pace keep on
あまらず表す my life rap on
行動起こす戦場から
まだ 止まる訳にはいかないから
We got find out freedom
No war Keep it forever
We got find out freedom
No war Keep it forever
We got find out freedom
No war Keep it forever
We got find out freedom
No war Keep it forever
気力を失いじっと
ただ待った明日の夜明けを
癒えない傷生きたいと願う
明日は違う また目を覚ます
気力を失いじっと
ただ待った明日の夜明けを
癒えない傷生きたいと願う
明日は違う また目を覚ます

枯れた花をそっと掴んだ
灰になり散っていった
休息すらとれぬ場所から
あなたはどこかに消えていった
交差する裏切り悲しみ
思い一つがなぜか不自由に
手を握り伝えるぬくもり
死んだら灰とわからぬ瞳に
叫ぶ声は誰の痛みを
遠く届けと母が祈りを
冷える体に今何思う
無力だからあなたは目をそらす
望む物は太く永遠
つなげては切れる細い線




繰り返す抗争は誰のせい
誰もが本当は望んでいなくて

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Of War" by Japanese rock band Exile is about the senselessness of war and the personal toll it takes on individuals, families, and communities. The first verse sets the scene of a battlefield strewn with corpses, with the singer questioning the purpose of the war and its toll on human life. They express their horror at the reality of the situation, with shaking fingers and the sense of being entirely used up. The chorus asks how many more people have to die for the war to end and who even wanted this conflict in the first place. The second verse expands on the idea of the devastation wrought by war, with images of bloody battles and the laughter of warmongers. The singer expresses their disgust at the endless cycle of violence and the leaders who profit from it while ignoring the suffering of everyday people. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "We got find out freedom / No war Keep it forever" and a plea for peace, hope, and a better tomorrow.


Overall, "Last Of War" is a powerful critique of the futility and destruction of war. The lyrics are visceral and raw, with images of death and suffering that drive home the true cost of conflict. The repeated refrain of the need for freedom and peace underscores the importance of finding a better way forward. The song is a call to action to end the endless cycle of violence and work towards a more peaceful and just world.

This anime's story goes like this : Earth was rekt'd some thousand years ago and humans fled using interstellar ships called "Exiles" (there are still humans that stayed on the Earth and they harbored resentment towards the refugees when the said refugees returned, basically the plot of Last Exile : Fam, the Silver Wing)... These "Exiles" somewhat created another Earth and in this anime, that world was called Prester, which is shaped like an hourglass... The northern part of this so-called new world was called Disith (Greek for sunset iirc) and the southern part was called Anatoray (Greek for sunrise iirc) with the thin median in the middle is a turbulent wind stream called Grand Stream (which hides this world's Exile and the location of the main Guild ship, an arbitrary faction)... Now, since their Exile was under some sort of hibernation, it cannot make the world's weather system stable, hence, Disith experiences perpetual snowstorm and Anatoray desertification (still a livable one though)... This scenario explains the ship designs :

Reparation-class ships (Disith ships / White ships as this comment section calls it) : This ships were shaped as an hourglass to cross the Grand Stream from above, aerodynamics go bbbrrrrttttt so let us not question that... In line with that, their turrets are situated on the underside of the ships...

Claiomh-Solais class / Anatoray ships / Green ships as the comment section calls it : the exact opposite of the Reparation-class ships... They have their turrets on the upper side and are not "streamlined" because they were not crossing the Grand Stream to invade Disith territories...

The Armillary Sphere-looking ship / Guild Prescence ship : like the name implies, it is the ship of the Guild that "oversees" the battle as an arbiter, though the Guild's leader, Maestro Delphine, have something in mind other than upholding fairness... Btw, both Disith and Anatoray ships use the Guild-provided Claudia units, some sort of anti-gravity engine with a Guild engineer inside... If one of the factions committed something that doesn't follow Guild regulations, their Claudia units will be "recalled" (ie literally force-eject itself from the ship), effectively sinking the ship in which it was situated...

Silvana (the Black ship as everyone calls it) : is an experimental Anatoray ship fitted with the thickest plot armor-- I mean armor plating, gunpowder cannons (later added though), Vanship squadrons (I freakin' love Tatiana and Alister) and epicness...

Basically, the Third Battle of Minagith is just Disith trying to get a territory because their homeland isn't livable anymore... Boy, I did tear up a bit when Disith tubular-shaped ships ladden with civilians got destroyed before taking off........



@STbattlefront

First time seeing this and love seeing sky battles above the clouds the great white sea.
As far I can tell based on the designs.

Green Airship: built for broadside battles due to how the guns are placed at the top in two roads and a single gun at the front. The cannons appears to have 50° degrees to 70° degrees of arc fire letting them hit targets above, but at a distance. Side armor are heavy to tank as much damage, but vulnerable top and underbelly. There are signs of AA guns and hangers for aircraft support. Uses large thrusters in the rear underbelly for speed and altitude, but given how slow it is it may not provide higher altitude support due to energy to waight demand.

White Airship: Built for speed and maneuverability due to a light skeletal design lacking the need of heavy armor and using an hour glass shape as the base. Heavy rotating guns are at rear & front taking up the bottom half as smaller guns & AA are used in the Skeletal frame. Designed for high altitude ambushes as an counter for the green ships, but depends on large numbers for proper kills.

Black Airship: It's a submarine and its awesome.

Final note: Cool battle and looking forward to watch the anime for fighter action.

⚠️ FOR PEOPLE who wonder why the battle is unfolding that way:
There's a faction called the Guild, which acts as the "referee" in each battle between Anatoray (green ships) and Disith (white ships). The Guild imposes a strict way of doing battle, including useless battlelines, small arm fire before artillery exchange, only firing at certain times, etc. This is why in the first third of the video, sometimes enemy ships do not fire at each other despite being next to each other.

In the second part of this battle, Disith (the white ships) actually break the rules and attack with a second fleet from above, against "regulation" imposed by the Guild, forcing the green ships into a retreat. The Guild doesn't intervene, because it has an agenda of its own. This is when all guns start blazing like hell, as no side feels constraint by any regulation anymore.

The ships are designed the way they are because the Anatoray military knows that Disith ships will always come from above, so Anatoray turrets are placed on top of the ships, and conversely, Disith ships have their turrets installed beneath their hull.

@SprigadingaRingadingadong

God I've literally been waiting years to hear this man

@atroxiv

Someone actually followed the rules of war? Lol noobs.

@satriorama4118

Even in the Silver Wing which take place in other planet, warships still fighting in line formations plus upper and lower deck turrets.

@kendicus7640

@@atroxivif they dont do it, the guild can just detach the floatation unit on a whim

@nickcher7071

@@atroxiv their ships can fly only thanks to the guild power units which they can recall just because they feel so. Thus they are forced to either adhere to the rules or risk sudden "sinking". Later in the story actually Anatoray develop new experimental battleships with homemade propulsion unit, which can do whatever they wants to

Finally, a video that shows what's most important in an anime.
A battle between air ships!

@koopanique

Yes! Too few airships in anime and in media in general!

@absolutetriad7714

this takes the classic "space is sea" philosophy to a whole nother' level and shows that not just space is a sea, but also the sky is a sea
