Baptize
Yousei Teikoku Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
空の色は銀に輝く
大気は奮え風は花弁を
羽根のように吹き散らす
誘い誘え彼の場所へと
金に輝く桃源郷は
全て飲み込む天か地獄か
孤独に耐えて誰を待つ
神よ私は罪ですか
碧い瞳は何を映すの
古の物語でも彼を奮わせられない
深く深い氷の下には
生まれたての聖なる光
どうか彼を導いて
生に縋り赦しを乞い
天の遣わす恵みの露
全て飲み干す慈悲か悪意か
堕落した思考のまま
生きる希望誰に託す
神よ私に贖いを
白い大地を覆う冷気は
染みついた赤い穢れを瞳の奥に堕とす
奪い奪う死闘の痛みは
大切な人を失くした
終末の痛みと知る
融けた刻の中
孤独を抱いて朝を待つ
神よ私に真実を
赤い瞳は何を赦すの
吹き荒ぶ胸の嵐を鉄の刃に変えて
背負う罪が広がる速さに
祈りの密度を高めて
覚悟の名で誡めてBaptize
The lyrics of Yousei Teikoku's song "Baptize" are a poetic and evocative exploration of the themes of redemption, faith, and isolation. The song opens with an idyllic scene of a winter landscape, where flowers bloom and the sky glimmers like silver. However, this peaceful image is soon disrupted by the harsh realities of life, as the wind blows petals like feathers and the singer is left waiting alone, questioning her own guilt and seeking absolution.
The central part of the song revolves around a mystical location, a "golden paradise" that may either offer salvation or damnation. The singer is torn between the desire to embrace this place and the fear of being consumed by it. The ambiguity of this place is further compounded by the image of a newborn holy light buried deep under the ice, which could either guide or mislead the singer.
As the song progresses, the character's internal struggle becomes more intense and painful. The cold and isolation around her seem to mirror the isolation of her soul, and the loss of a loved one is a wound that she cannot heal. The final lines of the song express an urgent plea for forgiveness and clarity, as the singer implores God to show her the truth and lead her towards redemption.

When the flowerbud of winter blooms
The color of the sky shall shine silver
The atmosphere rouses, and the wind
Blows the petals off like feathers
Invite me, lure me, to where he is
The golden shining Paradise Lost shall
Swallow up everything; is this Heaven or Hell?
Within the wounds of time left frozen
Whom do I await as I endure my solitude?
O God, am I sinful?
What do the azure eyes reflect?
Even ancient stories cannot rouse him
May the holy light, newly born
Deep in the depths beneath the ice,
Please guide him
Clinging to life, begging for forgiveness,
The dew of blessing sent by Heaven shall I
Suck up in its entirety; is this mercy or malice?
My thoughts remain depraved
To whom do I entrust the hope of living?
O God, grant me salvation
The chill that conceals the white earth
Drops indelibly vermilion impurities deep in my eyes
I realize now that the pain of a deathmatch,
Of stealing and snatching away, is none other than
The terminal pain of losing one's loved ones
Within the wounds of thawed time
I own my solitude and await the dawn
O God, grant me the truth
What do the vermilion eyes forgive?
Change the raging storm of my heart into an iron blade
And as swiftly as my shouldered sins spread
Boost the density of prayers
In the name of resolve, punish and baptize me

Her voice makes me feel something I hadn’t felt since I heard my first band
@metal4360
well rock is more happy sounding and this is metal, crazy speed, crazy headbanging, not happy sounding and more
@theKaibaMan0201116
Never seen Seikon no Qwaser, but I love Yousei Teikoku and I love this song to death!
@danielsantiago4490
Maybe it's best you don't. Though the concept and premise of Seikon no Qwaser is AMAZING, I personally think that the gratuitous amount of fan service and borderline hentai actually ruin the quality of the show...
@Struth86
It's a very adult anime. If you are mature and of age or even just of age plz treat yourself. Think full metal alchemist but much sexier and alot more raw
@Struth86
Dont listen to the coin purse above me. It was very good if you are an adult. Like I said. It has very adult themes. The the alchemists power is driven off of a woman's life energy. Try to make an anime about that that isnt a little sexual. I will note that this isnt one I'd watch with my buds or anything. Me and my girlfriend watched the entire series and there was more than a little red faces and oh mys thrown around
@danielsantiago4490
@@Struth86 Who you calling a coin purse, baby? You wanna fight?! Alright, You and me, at the school flag poll at 3:00pm, today! UH GURL! You bettah take your earrings off if you wanna keep them precious lil' ear lobes from gettin' ripped off!
Jokes aside, the show's sexual aspect is gratuitous even if you don't personally mind it. The fact that you acknowledge that certain parts make you "go red" or say "oh my" kinda proves that those aspects are more "the author's sexual fantasies" more than anything of importance adding to the plot. I do like Seikon no Qwaser's premise and I watched the entirety of what was available of the show at the time I did so, there is a great story and concept behind the show. The argument could be made that the concept of soma will be at least somewhat sexualized but come on, to the extent the show did? Baby, I clearly recall a few episodes where fights spent more time or emphasis on the boobie suckin' than the actual fighting. I'm just saying, it's not everyone's cup of tea (most people I've met that has seen this anime are at least a little bit off-put by it).
@BrigadeAkaba
Give a try to the manga, If you are mature enough. Because the anime version sucks and it is all ruined by the unnecessary quantity of fan service. ^-^
