Kegare Naki Yume

Asriel's song 'Kegare Naki Yume' delves into the profound and often tumultuous nature of love, set against a backdrop of an unending world. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that has been expressed to its fullest extent, with tears shed and the moon sinking, symbolizing the passage of time and the depth of emotion. The singer yearns for unity, hoping that by merging with their beloved, they can transcend the epilogue of their story and draw closer together, even if it means embracing an ending that is pure and untainted by impurity.

The recurring theme of an 'owaranai sekai' or 'unending world' suggests a timeless, almost eternal love that persists despite the challenges and despair that may come. The singer closes their eyes and calls out the name of their beloved, indicating a deep, almost spiritual connection that transcends physical presence. Even in a world where the means to express love are lost, the singer believes that if they could attain everything, the concept of an 'end' would be unnecessary. This reflects a longing for a love that is all-encompassing and eternal, one that can withstand the desolation and despair that life may bring.

The song also touches on the idea of seeking love and kindness, even when they can be cold and unyielding. The imagery of a sinking destiny and a red moon crying in the night sky adds a layer of melancholy and poignancy to the narrative. The singer's quest for the key to their broken heart and the sorrowful story reflected in their eyes highlight the pain and struggle inherent in their journey. Despite this, they continue to wait and pray alone in the wilderness, hoping for a love that is pure and unblemished, a 'kegare naki yume' or 'pure dream.'
