Veil

The song 'Veil' by Fire Force delves into the complexities of human emotions, particularly focusing on the themes of pain, hope, and the struggle for change. The lyrics explore the idea that even when we try to understand the deeper meanings behind our suffering or attempt to take control of our present circumstances, the words we hold inside may not be enough to save us or bring about the change we desire. This sentiment is poignantly captured in the lines, '笑えない意味を辿ったって / 変わらない今を乗っ取ったって / 中、見待った言葉が / あなたを救えないのだろう,' which translate to 'Even if we trace the meaning we can't laugh at / Even if we take over the unchanging present / The words we waited for inside / Probably won't save you.'

The song also touches on the idea of shared pain and the journey towards a distant, hopeful place. The imagery of walking together, shoulder to shoulder, through a landscape of unending pain and unattainable dreams, suggests a sense of solidarity and mutual support. This is evident in the lines, '肩を寄せ合って歩いていた / 遠いところへ行けるように,' meaning 'We walked shoulder to shoulder / So we could go to a faraway place.' Despite the coldness and the challenges, the narrator expresses a willingness to stand firm and show love, as seen in 'どんなに冷たく立って / 愛してみせるよ,' which translates to 'No matter how coldly I stand / I'll show you love.'

The recurring theme of unspoken words and the pain of separation is further emphasized towards the end of the song. The lyrics, '揺るがない声で叫んだって / 熱を持つ夜に変わっていく / この手が離れても / また歩いていけるように,' meaning 'Even if I shout with an unwavering voice / It changes into a night with heat / Even if this hand lets go / So we can walk again,' highlight the resilience and determination to keep moving forward despite the inevitable partings. The final lines, 'さよならは言わずに / 届かぬまま終わらぬように,' which translate to 'Without saying goodbye / So it doesn't end without reaching,' encapsulate the hope that the journey and the connection will continue, even if the words remain unspoken.
