甘き死よ、来たれ

Komm, susser Tod

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
(I) feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
what's done is done it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
cause now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know I could never love again
I've lost everything, everything, everything that matters to me
matters in this world

I wish that I could turn back time
cause now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down, letting me down

明るく穏やかな曲調と救いのない悲惨な詩の曲。
悲惨な境遇にある時は気休めの慰めより悲惨をストレートに表現した方が共感を得るということか。

超楽天家の自分には共感できん。悩む前に行動だな。
10年前エヴァンゲリオンを友人に徹夜で全て見させられたときは一種の拷問だった。

ただ、現実主義と虚無主義は紙一重だと思うから虚無には共感できる（写真は死海文書）。
