Beautiful World

The song 'Beautiful World' from Neon Genesis Evangelion delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The repeated phrase 'It's only love' underscores the simplicity yet profound impact of love in our lives. The lyrics express a deep yearning for closeness and connection, as seen in the lines 'もしも願いひとつだけ叶うなら 君のそばで眠らせて' (If I could have just one wish, let me sleep by your side). This desire for intimacy transcends physical locations, emphasizing that the presence of a loved one is what truly matters.

The song also touches on themes of self-discovery and insecurity. The lines 'Beautiful boy 自分の美しさまだ知らないの' (Beautiful boy, you still don't know your own beauty) suggest a sense of unrecognized potential and inner beauty. This is further highlighted by the protagonist's struggle with self-acceptance, as they admit to not liking themselves and being unsure of what they truly want. The imagery of 'ぬるい涙が頬を伝う' (lukewarm tears running down the cheeks) conveys a sense of emotional vulnerability and confusion.

In addition, the song reflects on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of seizing the moment. The lyrics '儚く過ぎてゆく日々の中で' (In the fleeting days that pass by) remind us of the transient nature of life. Despite the uncertainties and emotional ups and downs, the song encourages embracing experiences and cherishing the moments spent with loved ones. The overall message is one of finding beauty in the world through love and connection, even amidst personal struggles and the passage of time.
