逃げまどう
子供達...着飾った知的生命体...
審判は下る
ひとつだけ残された
進化の果てに...
舟は放たれた
瞳を伏せて消え失せた
ひと握りの天才

審判は下る
キミと僕残されて
小舟をつくる...
"時間を創りだし
永遠を失くした神々の気まぐれか?
...審判は下る...
キミと僕に審判は下る..."
La La La...

"小舟はゆっくりと
キミと僕を運び出した...
泥の舟と知らずに

安息を求めて...審判は下る..."
La La La...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ROUAGE's song Creation -審判- describe a scene of judgment as two children, adorned in sophisticated attire, grapple with the ultimate fate of humanity. The impending judgment is a result of the culmination of evolution, and a single boat is left to carry the remnants of humanity forward. The singer wonders if time itself was a creation of inconsistent, capricious gods who have since vanished, leaving behind a world to be judged by the surviving few.

The children resolve to create a small boat with the purpose of salvaging the remnants of humanity, as they prepare to face judgment together. As the boat carries them away into the unknown, they long for peaceful rest and safety, unaware that the very boat they sail in was fashioned from the same material as the mud they once knew. In essence, the lyrics highlight the fragility of life and the inevitability of judgment, while also acknowledging the inherent creativity and resilience of humanity.
