Their debut single oblivious, which contained the first three Kara no Kyoukai themes, was released on January 23, 2008. Re/oblivious, a remix mini-album, followed exactly three months later. Kalafina’s second single and first double A-side sprinter / ARIA consisted of the fifth and fourth Kara no Kyoukai theme songs, respectively, along with an instrumental version of oblivious. Their third single fairytale includes the sixth Kara no Kyoukai theme, a non-anime tie-in song, serenato, and an instrumental version of sprinter. Their first album, entitled Seventh Heaven, consisted of 13 tracks featuring the seven Kara no Kyoukai theme songs and was released in March of 2009 along with their fourth single Lacrimosa (Kuroshitsuji ED2 Theme). Their fifth single, storia, the theme song for NHK show Rekishi Hiwa Historia, was released in July of 2009. Their sixth single, entitled progressive, was released on October 28, 2009. They have released four full albums to date: Seventh Heaven (2009), Red Moon (2010), After Eden (2011), and Consolation (2013). Their next single will be featured in the third Madoka Magica movie.

Kalafina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夢を思い出した
若草色の哀しみを
細く甘く歌う
My fairy tale
何も終わることのない
永遠を知っていた
もう誰も語らない
キスを一つ残して
君は何処へ行く
灯火一つ抱いて
森に消えて行く
In the dark
ずっと遠くへ歩いてく
懐かしい面影
ずっと遠くが君の家
辿り着けはしない
Your fairy tale
夢に見た永遠は閉ざされたままで
過ちは深く隠されたままで
消えていく帰り道
君がもう見えない
さよなら
霧の森を抜けて
君は何処へ行く
一つだけ手を振って
明日へ去って行く
君を好きになって
永遠は終わる
生きて行く喜びと
痛みが始まる
In the light
The lyrics to Kalafina's song "fairytale" are a melancholic reminiscence of childhood dreams in a fairy tale-like world, where the characters are left with only memories of their past. The song begins with a nostalgic projection of the past, where the dreams in a light-green sadness are recalled, and the singer marvels at the infinite possibilities of eternity. She sings of a fading love story that no one tells anymore, leaving only the remnants of a fairy tale to ponder. The chorus mourns the departure of the other person, who leaves behind one last kiss and takes away the only light, disappearing into the forest in the darkness.
The second verse of the song recalls the feelings of longing for the distant past, where memories of a bygone time are just a mirage that they would never see again. Here, the singer's memories are of a past that has long past, an eternal dream that remains closed, and the pain and joy of life that begin afresh. The lyrics are a tribute to the moments that have passed, the things that have been lost, and the things that the characters have failed to hold onto.

Nasu's lyrics + Kajiura's Melody + Kalafina's performance = REAL Magic

What, nasu wrote the lyrics?

I didn't know the lyrics were co-written.

@@user-ts8hq7hy6d i never heard this info. Afaik Kajiura just took some (many) lines from the novel, but Nasu did not necessarily take part in the lyric composition.

Any song composed by Yuki Kajiura never gets boring. I personally believe this is one of her best pieces she has released so far.
@Ravensh1ne
listening for 3 years, hello from 2020 where it's still AWESOME
@KitySims
This is also one of my all time favorites from Kalafina! Been listening to them and Kajiura music for almost 9 years and it never gets old!
@AC9123
Honestly... Yes. But I personally have yet to find a favorite since they're all so good.
@fenqing01
Not all. Her latest work , Homura, is a huge disappointment. I am not saying Homura is bad but we hardly can find any 'Yuki Kajiura' in that song.
