Kokoro o motanai ningyou
Warau koto wa naku
Hanasu koto mo nai
Itsuka kiite hoshii kono omoi mo
Kotoba ni wa naranai kedo
Chikara no kagiri o furishibotte
Ningyou wa arigatou to iu kotoba no imi o oboeta
Demo mada tsukau koto mo
Hanasu koto mo nai
Itsuka kitte hoshii kono omoi mo
Kotoba ni wa naranakute mo
Chikara no kagiri o furshibotte
Arigatou sou tsutaete iku kara
Kaze ga sukoshi dete kite
Boku no se o osu kara
Mata tabi no shitaku o suru koto ni shita n da
Itsuka kiite hoshii kono omoi o
Kotoba ni wa naranai kedo
Chikara no kagiri o furishibotte
Naite sakende tsutaeru kara
Itsuka yukeru nara tooi umi e
Sekai no hate no hate made
Sonna basho ni tadoritsuketara
Donna kimochi ni nareru no kana
The lyrics to Lia's "Doll" are a poignant reflection on the limitations and struggles of life as a figurative "doll" or puppet. The opening verse describes the doll's birth, "born from warm hands, yet lacking a heart." The doll does not laugh or speak, instead living a silent, motionless existence.
The second verse expresses the doll's desire to be understood and heard despite lacking the ability to articulate these feelings into words. The act of living to the fullest and expressing gratitude for the forces that shape one's existence becomes the driving force behind the doll's existence. The doll speaks of wishing for its feelings to be heard even though it cannot put it into words.
The chorus of the song sees the doll recognizing the meaning of the phrase "thank you" and the importance of expressing gratitude, even if it cannot use these words itself. The ultimate goal for the doll is to be able to travel to far-off places, to reach the farthest corner of the world where there is a potential for it to discover emotions and feelings beyond its current understanding.
Overall, "Doll" is a thoughtful, contemplative song that encourages gratitude for what one has while acknowledging the desire for growth and exploration of new experiences.

あたたかな手から生まれた
心を持たない人形
笑うことはなく
話すこともない
いつか聞いてほしいこの思いも
言葉にはならないけど
力の限りを振り絞って
生きていくことを知るから
人形はありがとうという言葉の意味を覚えた
でもまだ使うことも
話すこともない
いつか聞いてほしいこの思いも
言葉にはならなくても
力の限りを振り絞って
ありがとう そう伝えていくから
風が少しでてきて
僕の背を押すから
また旅の支度をすることにしたんだ
いつか聞いてほしいこの思いを
言葉にはならないけど
力の限りを振り絞って
泣いて 叫んで伝えるから
いつかゆけるなら遠い海へ
世界の果ての果てまで
そんな場所に辿りつけたら
どんな気持ちになれるのかな

このイラストを見たら２人に切ない恋心があるのかと思ってたんだけど、原作を読んだら殺し会うだけの関係だった。それでもなぜかこのイラストに惹き付けられる。
@shunmatz4078
え？
もう一度読み直してほしい。
二人の最期までを読んでも殺し合うだけと思うのかを。

アニメ見たけど、境遇似ていて分かり合いながらもそれぞれの任務

Думаю, у тебя тоже была несчастная любовь или безответная любовь. Кто-то тебя любил а ты и не понял. Или как в этом аниме: вы должны были влюбиться друг в друга но что-то пошло не так.
