S.H.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We’re the same
In my thoughts always
But what you do to me
You do to her
Je te veux
Such a pretty thing to say
Before I tried to walk away
Je te veux
Never let me escape
We’re the same mistakes
Damned to live the rule of three
Still I pray that we’ll be
Just you and me
Je te veux
Such a pretty thing to say
Before I tried to walk away
Je te veux
Never let me escape
Je te veux
Je te veux
Je te veux




Je te veux
Je te veux

The repetition of the phrase also adds to the hypnotic effect of the song, drawing the listener further into the singer's world of longing and desire.

Don't understand why so many people say that "it is complicated to choose a side in the anime"...

The thing is, there are no sides in the story (we use to create a "choosing sides" ideology, merely because of our human and emotional reasoning), it is quite simple if you watch it from a biological perspective.

Shiki, in the moment they die, they just become a different specie, a specie that follows natural, basic instincts. They are human predators, that's it.

And humans are no monsters either, they just found out that a new predator is in town, and if they want to survive, they have to eradicate the uprising plague.

The anime is not about a war between two emotional factions, and it doesn't try to portrait humanity's evilness... It is just a representation of biological clash between predators and preys, but also, how knowledge and unity can transform prey into hunter.

"We gathered here, for the mourning of a heart.
Hoping that this one will have a peaceful depart."
Yet another one gone, taken away with the rest.
The priest kisses the coffin, leaving behind a scent that is blessed.
I adjust my skirt, and start darting my eyes.
Those tears on there faces goes well with there lies.
They all started standing, a woman started bawling in the back.
And suddenly I felt it, my heart started to crack.
Something started to burn, but I felt like I was drowning.
I recounted the memories of him, my lips formed each in counting.
They all started to file out, his grave leading the way.
But I couldn't follow the deceased, so I chose to stay.
My face was now wet, And I felt like I was seeing stars.
His smile that was so near, now felt so far.
This was the end, and I was to naive to notice it.
Maybe I should join him, Maybe I should quit.
Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I could swear it was him.
But it was just my sister, with her smile looking grim. 
I stood up and sighed, just like the day before.
I should've been with him, this life is a chore.
I followed her out, clasping my hands behind my back.
And I whispered a parting.
And I said goodbye to the church colored in black.

I never understand why soundtracks are generally underrated. People only care about the "openings" because they are easy to comprehend.

@ritinhaparacana

I have the same opinion!! ☺️

@@ritinhaparacana Listening to music is an exercise that requires practice and consistency, just like reading or learning a new language.
