Prologue
Lacroix Despheres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daremo ga sono fushigi na chikara wo osore
katarareru koto no nai senritsu ga atta .
Sono senritsu wo kiita mono wa
Amari no utsukushisa ni ware wo ushinai,
sono senritsu wo kanadeta mono wa
jishin wo shihai sare wazawai ni kuchi teiku .
Dare hitori toshite tasukaru mono wa naku,
sono ongaku no zenmenkinshi, gakufu no yakiharai wo meiji,
sakkyokuka wo fukumu kankeisha súbete wo shokeishita .
Koyoi katara reru monogatari wa sono kazu hyakunengo
majiwareta senritsu no koto nado wasure sarareteshimatta koro no hanashi.
Suuki na unmei wo tadoru monogatari ga
ima, hajimaru
The lyrics of Lacroix Despheres's song Prologue refer to a time long ago when everyone feared a mysterious power, portrayed through an unexplainable tune. Those who heard it lost themselves in its beauty and could not resist playing it, only to fall victim to the disastrous consequences that followed. No one could save them from the heavy burden of this cursed tune. The music controlled them and caused terrible things to happen.
The song goes on to describe the aftermath of the tune, where the land is now quiet and still, with no one left to tell the tale. The only thing that remains is the legend of the tune, which has been forgotten over the years. However, the song suggests that the harmony will be rediscovered once again, as a story of a destined fate is about to begin.
Overall, the lyrics of Prologue illustrate the power of music and its impact on the human psyche. It suggests that music can be both beautiful and dangerous, depending on how it is used and who controls it. The song serves as a warning to those who underestimate the impact of music and the importance of using it responsibly.
