#it's the track called Tabidachi

[nopizzaaftermidnight]

[assassincraft]

character lyric based study 

song: you’re the reason i don’t want the world to end by the wonder years

it's already june the light paints you pink when it breaks through the cherry trees you shout at the moon and lay on your swing i'm right where i'm meant to be but the gray moves aside for the first time in my life so i think that i got the dosage right

im looking at this as the end of the classroom, march is passed and there is reference of cherry blossoms in this song just as there is in the tabidachi no uta, the call back to the moon that everyone is convinced was koro-sensei’s fault. 

that despite things being hard, it seems like for the first time in a while, things are finally starting to look up in nagisa’s life. the assassination went as planned, his parents are back together, he has money put aside for his life. things are going to be okay.

devil in your blood a dull unmoored ache the same one that haunted me but the bearings could rust and the circuit could break if i love you entirely

'cause i'm finding hope in the pocket of my winter coat with your gloves a remindеr that i'm not alone

im looking at the first half as koro’s standpoint, seeing the self doubt and depression in nagisa’s heart and fighting it with the love he had for him, he knew what it meant to go through hardships.

the pocket of the winter coat referencing that they’re still after koro’s death, finding things he left behind for them. the two books he wrote for each student, helping out their families behind their backs. he tried to leave something good, some hope behind for them.

scared to my bones that i won't find a way to keep you and your brothеr safe a fire reached the coast as the sea levels raise it's like we're circling the drain

the news keeps getting worse the floods and the drought there's a mass shooting weekly now and it feels like a ghost when we're letting you down so i'm gonna dig you out

i think the fear of the fact that the students almost got killed at the end of the night, and that kayano actually did die was a weight on koro-sensei, how he vowed none of them would never get hurt but despite that, the fight was brought right to them.

the news hounding them down, spewing out what the government told them as lies and it honestly hurt the kid’s images for a long time. they were feared, people were scared of them for a while, they couldn’t go out without getting stared at and tracked down by journalists still trying to get a story out of them. they were going to get themselves out of that slump, they were going to make something of themselves outside of this classroom, or else it was all for nothing.

and you're brave, so i'm brave or i'm trying anyway put the work in, plant a garden try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat)

i don't wanna die 'cause i gotta protect you and you're the reason i can't leave here the reason i don't want the world to end i don't wanna die i wanna light you through your darker months and i wanna swallow the sun before it can swallow us

i think at the end of the day the kids were so brave and trying so hard with everything was because koro gave them hope. they did small things together that were so mundane at times and it was what they needed to feel normal. science classes, regular gym classes at times, planting gardens at the front of the school, making a pool for themselves to escape the blistering summer heat.

i don’t think koro wanted to die, i think that he was accepting death in the long run as inevitable and was at peace with what he’s done in his life time so it was his time to go. but he helped these kids in the hardest times of their life. isogai’s father was dead and he was struggling to keep afloat when he got in trouble for having a job, saved the kids from being kidnapped before, he got nagisa’s mother to stop abusing him, saved itona from death from the tentacles eating away at his brain. gave ritsu literal life.

i'm calling home hear you laughing in the afterglow and the reasons to abandon all my former ghosts 'cause you're brave, so i'm brave or i'm trying anyway put the work in, plant a garden try to stay afloat

in the end, koro-sensei accepted his death, so the kids had to accept it too, no matter how much it hurt them to put him to his death. they had to try to be brave, or else the whole year was for nothing, thrown away and ripped back by the very government that begged them to do this in the first place. 

they’re putting the work in, planting seeds for success the whole year, little steps they took together to better themselves this whole time. they were going to make it out of this hard, depressing night. they were going to make something of their lives in the end and koro-sensei made sure of that, that they had a life outside of what this class was to them.

Summary of the CD can be found in a previous post. Full CD here.

I recently found audiospeedchanger and decided to see what the song sounded like when pitched down 3 semitones.

Translated English Lyrics:

I can't call it an adventure, it's just a small journey

With a bag and anxiety

I can't even find someone to say goodbye to

Let's go, the time is already full

I'm going to paddle out of the wrapped world and jump into the sky

I don't even know it yet. I'm trying to find the light that's waiting for me.

That blue sky, at the end of the horizon

That sandy beach, a paradise of mirages

I'll go to that meadow without looking back in the storm.

This loneliness I realized when I left

This sadness I realized when I lost you

I was unprotected, I was defenseless

I'll take it off now

It's a quiet autumn day with a misty sun

I'll jump on a train and head north

I'll jump into the world and take a deep breath

Let's go, let's go, look ahead

From the coniferous forest to the sky islets with a flap of my wings

I don't know it yet, but it's waiting for me, leading me to the light

Listen to the treasure's voice

There's a picture of the way

I'm sure I'll be able to find my way back to you.

I'm sure

That blue sky, at the end of the horizon

That sandy beach, the paradise of the electric tower

I'll go to that meadow without looking back in the storm

This loneliness I realized when I left

This sadness I realized when I lost it

I need your strength to protect me. I'll find you

I'll find you

In this wide and boundless world

I'll reach out my hand to the light
