Cage
SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Tielle Lyrics

Tired of being rescued 'cause it's just a gilded cage
I am weary of the endless cycle of being saved from my trapped existence, but my current reality is just a fancy trap.

I must make amends for all the mess my elders made
It is my responsibility to fix the mistakes of the previous generations.

I was born to lead you all away from your crusade
My destiny is to guide people away from their misguided and harmful pursuits.

Nations held in anguish had me boiling with a rage
The suffering of entire countries has ignited a fury within me.

Ordinary life alluded me
I have never experienced a mundane and typical existence.

For my duty, you are losing me
My obligations are causing me to be distant from those closest to me.

You are one of my few weaknesses
You are among my vulnerabilities.

But this girl has deep allegiances
The girl I am referring to has strong loyalties elsewhere.

In the meantime, the shields are down
At this moment, my defenses are low.

I'm in a spatial place
I am currently existing in a unique and unfamiliar realm.

Survivor
I have overcome hardships and survived difficult situations.

Can you see my frozen dream?
Can you comprehend my unattainable aspiration?

My frozen dream can never be
The vision I have is forever out of reach.

It is a paradox, you see such a frozen dream
This yearning I have is a contradictory concept, and it appears you understand this.

Such a frozen dream can never be, never be
Again, my ultimate goal cannot come into a reality.

Waited for a century, it's only gotten worse
I have been waiting for generations for something to improve, yet it seems things have only deteriorated.

People want to stop me when I try to lift the curse
Others try to impede me when I attempt to remedy the situation.

We are isolated and in close proximity
We are together and nearby but still disconnected and lonely.

Sisters and our brothers living in this galaxy
Fellow beings, both male and female, exist and reside within this area of the universe.

Was it worth it just for saving me?
Is it truly beneficial to have gone through all of the trouble just for my rescue?

This event horizon
This is a critical point of no return or escape.

We've such a golden dream
We hold onto an idyllic vision of the future.

Such a golden dream can never last
Unfortunately, this ideal reality can never be sustained.

My burden lifted
Finally, my weight has been removed.

I am free, such a foolish dream
I am liberated, but this was a frivolous and unattainable hope.

Breaks my mind just tryin' to see
It is mentally exhausting to even attempt comprehending this situation.

Is there hope anywhere?
Is there any optimism to be found?

Is there love here anywhere?
Is there any form of affection present?

Is there faith anywhere?
Does anyone hold onto any beliefs?

Just a crumb here anywhere?
Even the smallest sign of improvement would suffice.

Can you hear my rusted heart?
Can you sense my corroded and damaged emotions?

For you, it just might fall apart
Because of you, my fragile state may disintegrate.

My hope is broken
My aspirations are shattered.
