Sore de mo atashi wa aruita sore ga tsuyosa datta
Mou nani mo kowakunai sou tsubuyaite miseru
Itsuka hito wa hitori ni natte omoide no naka ni ikiteku dake
Kodoku sae aishi waratterareru you ni atashi wa tatakaun da
Namida nante misenain da
Itsumo hitori de aruiteta yukusaki ni wa gake ga matteta
Fukitsukeru tsuyoi kaze ase de shatsu ga haritsuku
Itsuka wasurete shimaeru nara ikiru koto sore wa tayasui mono
Boukyaku no kanata e to ochite iku nara sore wa nigeru koto darou
Ikita imi sura kieru darou
Kaze wa yagate naideta ase mo kawaite

Itsuka minna to sugoshita hibi mo wasurete dokoka de ikiteru yo

The lyrics of "Angel Beats! Brave Song" by Lucas King describe the journey of the singer who always walked alone, looking back to find that everyone was far away. However, he chose to keep walking, and that was his strength. He whispers that he is not afraid anymore, and one day everyone will go alone into the memories and live forever. The singer chose to fight, even when he is alone, and he fights loneliness by loving it and laughing at it. He refuses to show his tears.
The singer shares that there were times when peaks were waiting for him on his journey. Even though he didn't have anyone with him, he kept walking for the sake of proving his strength. The strong wind hits him and makes his shirt stick to his skin, but if he can forget it someday, then living is easy. As he falls into the abyss of oblivion, he wonders if running away from the memories is the only option. However, he will disappear without a trace. He thinks about whether his existence will lose its meaning.
The song tells us that the singer's journey is a lonely one, but he decides to keep going. All of the people he walked away from were waiting for him. He tells us that one day, we will all have to walk alone into our memories and live forever. Despite this, our journey will be filled with moments of joy, friendship, and love that will keep us going, even in the darkest of times. The song talks about the emotions of a person who has gone through a difficult and lonely journey, telling us that even if we are alone, we must choose to be brave and keep fighting.

You've never watched anime?! Oh your missing out. By the way, why aren't you more famous? Like really. These are amazing soundtracks. I'm sharing your stuff on my blog, if that's ok.

Lucas, I have been in africa for a year. I never felt cold here, today I felt so many chills down my spine I had to get a blanket. my body rushed with dopamine, I loved this anime and its soundtrack. the pan flute, and music box details just left a tear in the corner of my eye.
Thank you.
