The music of Sound Horizon is generally presented in omnibus style; all of their releases have been in the form of concept albums. For tie-up material and releases without an overarching original story, the group performs under the name Linked Horizon. Both male and female vocals are utilized within Sound Horizon, with some singers being frequent collaborators. Usage of spoken word sections in the form of narration is common in their songs and can be heard in a variety of different languages. This narration is often reminiscent of anime due to the involvement of prominent voice actors/actresses in the group. A number of stylistic influences are also apparent in their music; these include progressive/symphonic rock, jazz, pop, opera, and metal. The group's lyrics are often mysterious and metaphorical and contain a variety of fantastical themes.

見えざる腕
Sound Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
路地裏の
淫らな牝猫(シャット)に
八つ当たりして
嗚呼 見えざる
その腕で
首を絞める
《夢幻影》(ファントム ド レーヴ)
壊れゆく
自我(エゴ)の痛み
狂えぬ酔いは
屋根裏の
小さな居城(シャトー)を
転げ回る
嗚呼 見えざる
その腕の
灼ける痛み
《幻肢痛》(ファントム ドゥ ルール)
安酒を
浴びて眠る

赤髪の騎士(ローラン)
争いは廻り
屍を積み上げる
加害者は誰で
被害者は誰か？
斜陽の影に
刃は緋黒く煌めいて
片腕と共に

咲き乱れて
奮う精神の針

纏った
夢から醒めた現実は
其れでも尚も悪夢(ゆめ)の中
故に其の後の彼の人生は
酒と狂気廻る痛みの中
左の頬に十字傷
赤く燃える髪に

The lyrics of Sound Horizon's song "見えざる腕" tells a story of a man, whose life was taken away from him in the heat of the battle. He lost his arm, his lover, and his job, and his life fell into despair, represented by the constant pain of his phantom limb syndrome. He met another man with a similar situation, and they shared their pain and regret over a drink, then were violently attacked by a third man, who killed one of them and left the other standing in shock. The song ends with the survivor questioning the meaning of his remaining life, while the windmill of hatred and revenge continues to turn.

5:43あたりの『犠牲者ばかりが増えていく』ってとこの『て』の歌い方がなんかめっっちゃくちゃ好きです
Olatunde Fajimi
Cool. The expression.
Olatunde Fajimi
3:16 That's the Kaori belt I've been missing!
3:37 A whole section in her lower range? Rare and appreciated!
4:00 Their blend vocally (harmony) and in choreography really shined here for me!
This is a new favourite for me. Kaori really got to let loose as a lead in this one!
Kayo
3:55 The high range was sang by Kaori or Yuuki?
Olatunde Fajimi
@Kayo I believe it was sang by Kaori. Listening to the timbre of Kaori's lower solo voice singing the preceding section, Yuuki took over (she has a more nasal voice, so the timbre of the lower harmony was different).
Also Kaori has this soaring belt voice and this was more like her solo so she would sing all the high parts, with Yuuki providing harmony support.
M Si
ライブで、しかも動きながらなのに音程が乱れないの凄い
Olatunde Fajimi
This song was made for KAORI to sing or maybe KAORI was also meant to sing this song.
Still my favorite solo performance from her overall because it captured almost everything she can do and in such a dramatic and thrilling tale!
Olatunde Fajimi
Listening to the earlier version (where Kaori wore red and this choreography was not there) and I actually prefer Kaori's vocal performance there. She was really centre stage and was more precise and just a bit more stable with her dynamics.
This version has the awesome choreography and gives more of that feel of the duality with their costumes and stage movements.

ダンスがめちゃめちゃかっこいい。
息ぴったり！
CapuRen
Ah, this certainly is the best Miezaru Ude performance I have heard and seen. Even better than the album version, in my opinion. Kaori is just so into it in this I guess, and she has a good voice day ^^ (Similar to when there is a good or bad hair day, there are also good and bad days for voice, I think.)
