Never Ending

The song 'Never Ending' by Nanatsu no Taizai delves into the relentless pursuit of desires and the insatiable hunger for more. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is unapologetically driven by their wants and needs, regardless of the consequences. The opening lines, '自分がって それがどうした手に入れたらもう俺のもの,' translate to 'What about myself? Once I get it, it's mine.' This sets the tone for a narrative centered around a character who is determined to claim whatever they desire, without regard for others.

The repeated phrase 'I want this, I want that, I want it all' underscores the theme of insatiable desire. This character is not just seeking material possessions but is also driven by a deeper, more existential need. The lyrics mention '退屈すら奪えない裸の胸 すぐに言えてく傷,' which translates to 'A bare chest that can't even steal boredom, wounds that can be said immediately.' This suggests a sense of emptiness and a longing for something that can fill the void within.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this relentless pursuit is both a blessing and a curse. The lines '奪いたくなるのはどうしようもないこと 俺のせいじゃないぜ that's the way I am' translate to 'Wanting to steal is something I can't help, it's not my fault, that's the way I am.' This highlights a sense of inevitability and resignation to one's nature. The song concludes with a reflection on the unattainable, '届きそうで届かない あの日の影 奪い去る 必ず,' meaning 'It seems within reach but is unattainable, the shadow of that day, I will definitely steal it away.' This final sentiment encapsulates the never-ending cycle of desire and the perpetual chase for something just out of reach.
