High tempo and rhythm flies
Not enough, try again, when'll tragedy end?

Wouldn't say that we're done just yet
So don't cry on the floor anymore

[Luckily, the local hardcore hope alignment child is here!]

[blindfoldcode]

C'mon, batten down your eyes
Don't know where to turn?
Without you, there's nowhere to go

[Almost choking loss weaves its way through her voice and the low hum of her bass. Her sister, Ayano, Kano, Ayaka, her sense of understanding and safety. She glances over at the pair of blonde children shes collected, trying to settle herself.

Her next lines are easier, tentatively trying to push away that despair. She probably doesn't want the audience to wind up depressed...]

And I dream too big to live a lie so why
should I move forward?

[eyettentionplease]

C'mon, throw up both your hands
Zeros all around
We didn't solve a thing but gather again

Ready to go...
Hey, are you still there...caught in the haze?


[Just like her solo song... Momo really wants to help. Kido, all the people Kido cares about, all the people she cares about... Even if she hasn't been good at it so far, even if she hasn't held a lot of attention... that's good, right? That'll help, in the long run.]

[wounds]

Let's "play"
I'm screaming 'til you hear me say
Let's "save"
I'm fighting every single day

Grab a hand so warm you said to take
I can't forget it anyway

Let's "daze"
My heart's a beat that never fades
Let's "change"
You'll never cry alone the same

[He's here. He's steady, he's a duty character, and he's loyal to the people he loves. He's here for them and he's going to make sure Kido won't be alone.]

[blindfoldcode]

All the lonely days that you dyed from gray
Because it's you, I’ll put those memories on hold

[She'll keep living because they're there, because Momo and Celty and Genos have watched out for her, have cared about her, have tried to keep her spirits up at the worst times for all of them. She's not alone, anymore. She's hasn't really been alone in a long time.

She can keep herself together, she can push the awful things aside, for them.]

[eyettentionplease]

Encore ringing loud and proud,
We go round and around through the streets of broken pavement
Hold hands as we run along - I’ll make sure that I never let go.
Break out, standing tall and strong
Never rest, never stop, cause our cue will soon come!

Its the day we’ve been waiting for
So find all that you’ve wanted to say!

[And as long as Kido can know that, can even try to keep herself together...

Things are gonna be alright in the end.]

[wounds]

C’mon, give me both your hands,
When we meet, I’m certain
Our meeting was in fate's plan

[The way he sings it is sweet. Fate has brought them together, and as long as they've got each other, they're going to make it through.

He certainly believes that, and it echoes through the lyrics.]

[blindfoldcode]

Just like shadow, filled with pain
The world looks nearly the same

“Frustrations” fill the air, “weakness” echos behind
Worthlessness can sum up both in one line

[Kido's felt a lot of both lately, and the world has been dark. But still, it's pointless to dwell and hide herself away. She can't let it define her.]

[eyettentionplease]

Ready to fly beyond these grey skies
Whadda’ya say?

[She knows she's ready, or at least she likes to think she is. though to where she doesn't quite know.]

[wounds]

Let’s “play”
I’m reaching for only today
Let’s “save”
My heart is hurting day by day

Even though it seems like hope is lost,
I’ll never lose the warmth of heart

Let’s “daze”
The streets are filled with endless haze
Let’s “change”
The words are gone, all the same

[No matter what happens, he'll be himself, he'll fight for the people he cares about.]

[blindfoldcode]

But my feelings stay, the same as always
It seems like I’m the only thing that’s really changed

[And honestly, the changes Kido sees... aren't bad. She's starting to like being danchou.]

[eyettentionplease]

To the kid in the back, with their eyes all swollen red
This blue, more blue
Beyond blue summer skies
If only I could reach you, then you’d see

[The audience is important too, of course. No matter why they're here, music is made to reach out to people and help them, right?]

[blindfoldcode]

“Sayonara”, you shouted into endless haze
And yesterday was different too
Surely we’ll escape from this nightmare sometime soon?

[Not just normal folks, but the musicians alongside of them. They'll get out of this. Somehow.]

[wounds]

Please wait, I’m here whenever you’re alone
Just wait, another day will come I’m sure
Be it loneliness, or broken hearts
I’m here for you, so share your part

[No one is truly alone. There are people who care about them. So don't be afraid.]

[losingherhead]

[Fans are there that care about them. Fans that support and appreciate the feelings they want to express. And here, on stage or at their buildings, they've got families who want them to be happy.

They are a family, in a way. They built it all on their own and its enough. Its just right. Celty feels it with every strum of the guitar and she thinks the rest of them feel it too.]
