Opening
STEINS; GATE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever-opening flower
Feed me seven notes of love
Let it's wine burn through my veins
And free my soul from it's pain

Urges rage my fevered mind
Held back by dead note, blind
By the seventh sign of the seventh son
The seventh sun sets forever in the dark sea of my mind

Never shall I smile, never shall I die

Sun be gone, end my world
Enter darkness, rich of pain
I'm eternal, forever to be free
I'm one with fire, a thousand sun burn in me

Ever-opening flower
Feed me seven notes of love




Urges rage in my mind
Held back dead notes, blind

Overall Meaning

The opening song of STEINS; GATE, entitled "Hacking to the Gate," contains powerful lyrics that reflect the inner turmoil of the main character, Okabe Rintaro, as he navigates through different timelines and tries to prevent a catastrophic event from occurring. The beginning of the song, "Ever-opening flower, feed me seven notes of love," is a metaphor for the time machine that Okabe and his friends use to travel through time. The "seven notes of love" represent the code needed to unlock the machine's full potential, which Okabe obtains through a series of trials and tribulations. The lyrics then describe the euphoria that he experiences as he uses the machine, with the "wine" representing the adrenaline and rush that comes with time travel.


However, the song also acknowledges the dangers of meddling with time. The line "urges rage my fevered mind, held back by dead note, blind," hints at the mental strain that Okabe undergoes as he tries to manipulate time to his advantage. The seventh sign of the seventh son and seventh sun setting forever in the dark sea of Okabe's mind represent the consequences of interfering with the natural order of things; in other words, messing with time can have irreversible effects on one's mental state. Despite this, Okabe chooses to continue with his mission, as shown in the lyrics "never shall I smile, never shall I die."


Overall, the lyrics of "Hacking to the Gate" perfectly capture the mood of STEINS; GATE, with its dark yet thrilling theme of time travel and its consequences on the human psyche.

Lyrics for those who wanna sing along

Suujuuoku mono kodou no kazu sae
anata ni wa matataki teido no saji na toukyuu
kako ni torawarete mirai wo nageku mo
chiri hitotsu gosan wo yurusanu hitsuzen

"Mugen" ni hirogaru yume mo egaku mirai mo
bokutachi ni yurusareta kyoei no genri
Yuugen sore wa futatsu no hari ga shimesu
zankoku na yakujou to sentaku e Hacking to the Gate

dakara ima ichibyou goto ni sekaisen wo koete
kimi no sono egao - mamoritai no sa
soshite mata kanashimi no nai jikan no RUUPU e to
nomikomarete yuku kodoku no kansokusha

inochi no shuchou to muimi no shoumei
anata ni wa taikutsu shinogi ni taranu kokkei
shihaisha kidori no oroka na shuzoku wa
unuboreta chisetsu na teiri wo narabeta

"Mugen" to shinjita ai mo sora no kanata mo
bokutachi ni shimesareta kasou no jiyuu
"Yuugen" sore wa mujihi ni toki wo kizami
asu sae mo hitei suru sentaku e Hacking to the Gate

ikutsu mono kagayakeru hibi nakama to no yakusoku
nakatta koto ni wa shite wa ikenai
sono tame ni toki wo azamuku nokosareta shikake ni
mou mayoi wa nai kodoku no kansokusha

dakara ima ichibyou goto ni sekaisen wo koete
kimi no sono egao mamoritai no sa
soshite mata kanashimi no nai jikan no RUUPU e to
nomikomarete yuku kodoku no kansokusha

Welcome!! Time line travel on The game.
Welcome!! Heroes hacking to The gate.

数十億もの 鼓動の数さえ
あなたには 瞬き程度の些事な等級
過去に囚われて 未来を嘆くも
塵一つ 誤算を許さぬ必然

『無限』に広がる夢も 描く未来も
僕達に許された 虚栄の権利
『有限』それは二つの 針が示す
残酷な約定と 選択へ Hacking to the Gate───

だからいま 1秒ごとに 世界線を超えて
君のその笑顔 守りたいのさ
そしてまた 悲しみの無い 時間のループへと
飲み込まれてゆく 孤独の観測者

命の主張と 無意味な証明
あなたには 退屈しのぎに足らぬ滑稽
支配者きどりの 愚かな種族は
うぬぼれた 稚拙な定理を並べた

『無限』と信じた愛も 空の彼方も
僕達に示された 仮想の自由
『有限』それは無慈悲に 時を刻み
明日さえも否定する 選択へ Hacking to the Gate───

いくつもの 輝ける日々 仲間との約束
無かった事には してはいけない
そのために 時を欺く 残された仕掛けに
もう迷いはない 孤独の観測者

だからいま 1秒ごとに 世界線を超えて
君のその笑顔 守りたいのさ
そしてまた 悲しみの無い 時間のループへと
飲み込まれてゆく 孤独の観測者

Started this on July 4, 2022 and finished it 4 days later. Never in my life I ever had a movie, cartoon, or anime that did me empty inside. This masterpiece got me hooked so bad that I had to repeat everything twice while binge watching. Like imagine typing all of this while looping this entire music theme video.

One enough reason why I love this god-tier anime is because we, the audience, are the only people who can both sympathize and empathize with our mad scientist. To be able to watch and see what he's been through while suffering numerous times in the process makes you just wanna hop inside your monitor, hug him tightly, and tell him that we know everything he's been through.

Imagine what would his reaction be haha, he'd probably explode although it'll cause another world line to be formed then he'll overwrite the Okabe there like woah no matter what we do, there's still an impact even if we're from the Real World line (yeah I made it up, now shut up).

Help, this raised my standards now when it comes to finding new anime to binge watch. I'm lucky this wasn't my first anime or else I'd find every other anime mid.

EDIT: I SAW THE VIDEO OF THE OPENING COMPARISON BETWEEN OPENING 1 AND OPENING 2 OF STEINS;GATE. THEY SHOULD STOP 😭 THEY NEVER MISS FK.
