Before my body is dry
Hiroyuki Sawano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
May you surprised me so much
Because you're talking now
I gotta find the truth from many fights
But I'm all alone
You're the only one who can help me out
We'll be as one
We're ready to fight
They try to kill us for stars
Our bond has got much stronger than before
Don't lose your way in your mind
We have to be as one
Don't be afraid my sweet heart
This is the way to be more strong
Harbor my deep secret
It makes me so blue
Run through this game before my body is dry
So it seems there's No other choice
But to go all out
Stay with me and let's stand out
and out shine those trying to get our stars now
All we have to do is figure out how strong we are
and what it takes to stay dive
Sync and learn what we can do to take 'em down
It's revenge and survive
For now, we know in part
And You can feel my heart
So help me to stay focused so I don't fall apart
I wanna be complete
It's not in me to retreat
I could lose on my own so I really need you with me
I gotta find out who killed my dad
I hear the voice of you in my mind
I gotta find out who killed my dad
I hear the voice of you in my mind so
My blood is pumping
I'm ready to fight when you are
Let's let no one break the bond that is ours
Show them what it means to be a shining star
You have my body
Let's fight as one
Can't move my feet in the dark
I don't wanna be all alone
Can't feel the heat in my blood
Do you remember what he said
Don't lose your way in your mind
(I really need you with me)
We have to be as one
(Help me to stay focused)
Don't be afraid my sweet heart
(I wanna be complete)
This is the way to be more strong
(Fight as one with me)
Harbor my deep secret
It makes me so blue
(Let's take 'em down)
(Be a shining star)
Run through this game before my body is dry
(You have my body)
(I'm ready to fight when you are)

Line by Line Meaning
In the dusty basement where we met
Our initial meeting was in a neglected and uncleaned basement
May you surprised me so much
You caught me off guard by your unexpected presence
Because you're talking now
Your voice has given me hope and motivation to act
I gotta find the truth from many fights
By undergoing multiple struggles, I must discover what's authentic
But I'm all alone
Despite being in constant battles, I am solitary
You're the only one who can help me out
You are my sole encouragement and support
We'll be as one
Together, we will act as a united front
We're ready to fight
We are prepared to engage in combat
Look over there
Pay attention to what's happening ahead
They try to kill us for stars
Those enemies aim to take our shiny success by force
Our bond has got much stronger than before
Our connection has grown more influential compared to earlier
Don't lose your way in your mind
Do not stray from your objective due to your inner psychological distractions
We have to be as one
We must act together in harmony
Don't be afraid my sweet heart
Do not panic, my dearest companion
This is the way to be more strong
Together, we can become even more resilient
Harbor my deep secret
Keep my concealed agony within you
It makes me so blue
It causes me immense sadness
Run through this game before my body is dry
Let's complete this challenge before I perish
So it seems there's No other choice
Appears that there are no alternative options
But to go all out
Hence, we will give our absolute best efforts
Stay with me and let's stand out
Remain with me and let's impress others
and outshine those trying to get our stars now
Outperform our competitors aiming to steal our fortunes
All we have to do is figure out how strong we are
The only task is to discern our level of strength
and what it takes to stay alive
Determine the components necessary to remain alive
Sync and learn what we can do to take 'em down
Work in synchronization and discern the strategy to defeat our opponents
It's revenge and survive
The mission is for retribution and continued existence
For now, we know in part
Currently, we just partially understand the situation
And You can feel my heart
You can discern my raw emotions
So help me to stay focused so I don't fall apart
Assist me in maintaining my concentration so I don't disintegrate
I wanna be complete
I desire to be whole and fulfilled
It's not in me to retreat
I am not wired to surrender
I could lose on my own so I really need you with me
I am at risk of being defeated solo, so I genuinely require your assistance
I gotta find out who killed my dad
I am determined to find the culprit who slaughtered my father
I hear the voice of you in my mind
Your words are resonating in my thoughts
My blood is pumping
I am experiencing intense emotion and energy
I'm ready to fight when you are
I am willing and prepared to battle alongside you
Let's let no one break the bond that is ours
We should strive to maintain the unbreakable link we share
Show them what it means to be a shining star
Convey how it feels to possess an exceptional quality
You have my body
You contain my utmost trust and loyalty
Let's fight as one
Together, we will fight in harmony
Can't move my feet in the dark
I am paralyzed by fear in the absence of light
I don't wanna be all alone
I desire companionship and assurance
Can't feel the heat in my blood
I am unemotional and detached
Do you remember what he said
Do recall what was verbally expressed by that individual?
