Bleach intro & outro

Weer een intro van Bleach en ik vind het een mooie tekst hoewel ik het stukje over fangs niet zo goed kan plaatsen:

 

Softly, so softly, let's raise the curtain
and light the blue flames at the dawn of awakening.
As we walk, we embraced a weakness that knows nothing of defeat.
So carve out a new era with your new fangs.
Softly, so softly let's raise the curtain
and light the blue flames at the dawn of awakening.
Until the day I can meet you whom I want to protect,
I'll choose the enemies before me
even over perfect beauty.
My beloved, my beloved
you are all there is for me.
The whole of the scenery you once saw from here,
I'll bring it all together, and bring you here, so don't let go
of the wild melody that plays on without end.

 

Hier ook de bijbehorende outro, ik herken de gevoelens wel een beetje waar ze hier op hinten:

 

As our lives go on, what kind of person can I be to you?
I want to hold your hand, tell you of my dreams
I want to be in your future.
Something's been wrong with my heart lately.
And I've kept blaming you for no good reason.
You were shocked and took off,
and now I'm running after you like a madman to say I'm sorry.
My soul's being worn down by the endless repeating days.
I get why you tell me to grow up, but I'm just not that serious.
As our lives go on, what kind of person can I be to you?
I want to joke around with you, sit shoulder to shoulder
and when I got yo sleep, if only for an instant,
I want to be a part of you.

 

En ook nog de outro van de episode erna, deze is een beetje deprimerend in het begin maar ook vol van belofte en hoop voor mijn gevoel:

 

Sick from drinking darkness like wine,
I can't see even the ground beneath my feet.
The chains of sorrow and regret
just turn my life into a constant struggle.
I'll pull down the single ray of light
falling from the gap in the clouds
and follow it to tomorrow.
If wishes can come true,
I want the flowers to bloom once more.
Because here and now, I feel
that I can heal even your sorrow.
Beneath the shining starry sky
there'll be flowers that will never wither again.
I swear I'll take you to a tomorrow where we'll make them bloom.
