Even until now, I still have a hard time trying to interpret the lyrics written by Yuuto Tonokawa for Philosophyz. Like it’s possible that there are several metaphors going on in it that I’m not getting because I don’t Japanese, but I don’t know. T.T
Meanwhile, the lyrics for the rest of the songs in Rewrite are fairly straightforward for the most part:
- Yami no Kanata e, written by Yuuichirou Tsukagoshi, is about two people who have chosen to be together despite everything coming to an end. This can be interpreted in many different ways, but in the context of Rewrite (Moon) the world eventually ends for the most part, so yeah.
- Itsuwaranai Kimi e by Ryukishi07 is about the POV asking many questions to a person, described as the one “who never lies.” …okay, while I get that the last part involves the POV feeling undeserving of that person’s kindness, the lyrics look complicated too. I’ll get back to this later. (^^; ) It does feel vaguely more Lucia than Akane though, considering the writer.
- Koibumi by Yuuto Tonokawa is most definitely Shizuru’s POV. It’s really easy to interpret, and also very beautiful too. :)) (Shizuru route) It’s about a person who have lost the person who have taught her the will to live, and so she lives on like that despite the tragedy.
- Rewrite by Psychic Lover is easily Rewrite’s theme with its energy upped to that of a shounen manga. I love it. (Moon) It’s about the POV finding a new world even with the inevitable end.
- Watari no Uta by Jun Maeda is something I’ve took note before, here in the forums. I wouldn’t get that conclusion without Takafumi’s post though.
- CANOE (Jun Maeda and Romeo Tanaka) is quite similar to Rewrite’s lyrics theme-wise, but instead writes the story of (Terra) young people consuming Earth’s resources, and with only a small part of it left, they chose to go beyond Earth to advance to a future.
