Disappear
haruhi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were born and raised somewhere
Billion hearts just roam beating as one
Aren′t we all a bit afraid? Decorating the lies of the universe
She wants to disappear, take a bus that goes to nowhere
The neighbors asking, what do you fear from?

She cease to exist
Broken lamp and an empty bed, she has her costume inside out
In her, it's just a play, judging eyes, the focused spot light
Take a bus to lead her way, so go and disappear

The world doesn′t get to know

Everyone is a pawn somewhere
No rooks or knights or queens
Tight chest, she takes a breath, realize she left her board game
Driving far from where she came, unknown to the place where she's




Heading
No link to the world out there, or the past or the ever

i read a story from someone who actually got stabbed. and this anime pictures it pretty accurately. your body is first in a complete state of shock and you dont actually feel pain straight away, not until the message gets into your head though - which can take several seconds. Panic comes afterwards when you realise that blood starts rushing toward the opening. It's a pretty scary experience. I felt sorry for Kyon in this segment. pretty brutal , that damn bitch!

@illyachan5901

The most realistic stabbing in all of anime. All you can think is that it hurts, none of this "power of friendship lets me move after being stabbed 20 times" bullshit

@dianamon2727

My jaw literally DROPPED when this part came. I legit did not anticipate kyon getting stabbed again but for real this time. I knew Ryouko was gonna show up again and stop him, but lord, what a whiplash. For a split second, I thought he was just gonna die right then and there.

This whole damn movie was a trip and a half, like fr

@WarriorOfTheLostLand

Imagine how this version of poor Yuki felt. I feel so sorry for her.

@Junior13113

Felt the same thing. You lose your memory and then all of a sudden a stranger points a gun at you. Nagato really couldn't catch a break in this series.
