The song Hologram by NICO Touches the Walls talks about someone being attracted to the blank and pure scenery in front of them. The character contemplates how far they can go in this new unexplored world, and whether they’re brave enough to embark on this journey with the possibility of getting hurt. The character has been traveling like a lost child under a sky that’s gray like a mouse. The map they had was makeshift, and the dreams they had were numerous and overlapping each other. They wonder if they could ever reach the clouds beyond them, or if their small pace could even make a difference.
As the character tries to find their way in this world, they realize that they’re still holding onto things that they should have let go long ago. The character feels like they were carried away unknowingly by the black and white television as things like beauty, love, and life dreamed of being different from what they really are. They couldn’t see what was important to them, and they continued to hide things from the world. They hide under the guise of the treasure that they have found, but it was nothing more than a mirage.
However, the character gets a sense of hope as they continue to explore, and they feel like they can now face the consequences of their choices. They’re willing to take on whatever comes their way as they move towards the unknown, hoping that the journey will make them stronger. The character believes that they’re being called to go farther by something they cannot see.

真っ白な景色にいま誘われて
僕は行くよ まだ見ぬ世界へ
迷子のまま旅してた
鼠色の空の下
日替わりの地図 いくつもの夢が滲んでいた
いつかはさ
ちっぽけな僕のこの歩幅でも
あの雲の向こうまで行けるかな
強がって キズついた
心透かしたように
降り出した 雨粒たちが
乱反射繰り返す
真っ直ぐな光が 交差して
行き先も告げぬまま
どこまでも 突き抜ける
淡い残像 両目に焼きつけて
この空の下
どんなとこにいても
届くはずなんだ
まだ見ぬ世界へ
知らず知らずに貼っていたのは
白黒のステッカーで
大事なモノ 僕らは隠してしまっていた
だからもう地より 花より星の明かりより
綺麗な夢という名のホログラムを ざわめきを
はみ出して 逆らって
いつか描いた風景
悔しさも 寂しさも
今泡みたいに弾け飛ぶ
まっすぐな道で躓いたって
かさぶた剥がれたら
今よりきっと強くなれる
真っ白な景色に今誘われて
僕は行くよまだ見ぬ世界へ
霞む空の先に 虹色の光
明日の影に 震えるたびに
遠くで僕を呼ぶ声がして
まっすぐな光が散らばって
雨上がりの午後に
束になって降り注ぐ
無限のグラデーションが
今混ざり合って
この空の下どんなとこにいても
必ず届くはずさまだ見ぬ世界へ

Proof that this is the best FMA opening - they used it as the ending song for the last episode.
ekaoY
Love it or not this man here spitting fact
Yuu
YES
Eisenstahl
Or the OP which has the most optimistic feels, which fits the ending scene 😭
Mavis
And they still don’t have it on Spotify 😔
Like every other op and ending is on Spotify

FMA Brotherhood was actually the one and only anime I watched with my dad before he passed. If I remember correctly, his favorite character was Armstrong. This brings back a lot of memories.
EDIT:
I truly appreciate the kind words from all of you. Thank you so much.
Just a Weeb
Treasure that forever.
jack.
A great anime to seal that bond. I hope all is well, and I'm very sure your father enjoyed that time with you. Stay strong!
Riley Anderson
Wow, holy crap. I'm shocked right now.
This is the first anime I've watched with my dad (I'm on season 4), and his favorite character is Armstrong.
This makes me worried, because he's been struggling with health issues for a while; he's been tested for colon cancer and some other things I wasn't informed of, he's been having crazy inflammation and heartburn for a while and I'm so worried about him.
This comment made me cry, I'm so sorry for your loss.

@Riley Anderson hope he's ok <3
