Ok, I'll level with you here. I read through the (rough) translations of the lyrics. I read through the wiki, I've tried to grasp what exactly is happening here, but half the words are made up for the game or whatever and I don't know what a Reyvateil is or what an SH Server is or what the Cosmography of Ar Ru is and half a dozen other concepts necessary to knowing what all of this MEANS. As such, I can't give it many villainy points because I don't what exactly is being done. I was able to grasp from the wiki that the girl singing this was kind of being forced to, and while the explanation of what's happening is hard to understand, the emotion behind it isn't. Richaryosha's sadness and regret come across powerfully here. I mean just look at the lines "...my feelings are gone" and "Because I wish to live and so I don't lose my place in the world, I'll fall into madness..." and "My heartbeats fade away in this journey from which I can never return or go back. Goodbye, loneliness..." This is either the saddest song ever written or my high school diary, but either way, I feel like I understand Richaryosha's perspective startlingly well for a situation that I understand so little of.

Oh, and the song's a banger.
