My War (Opening 6 - Final Season)

The song 'My War' serves as the opening theme for the final season of the anime series 'Attack on Titan' (Shingeki No Kyojin), a show known for its intense and dark themes of war, humanity, and survival. The lyrics of 'My War' reflect the culmination of the series' narrative, where the lines between good and evil are blurred, and the characters face the ultimate confrontation.

The opening lines, 'Let’s start a new life from the darkness until the light reveals the end,' suggest a rebirth or a new beginning that emerges from a period of darkness and uncertainty. This could symbolize the characters' hope for a future beyond the grim reality of their world. The 'sinister faces' and 'growing curses' allude to the enemies and the escalating threats they face. The phrase 'This is my last war' indicates a final stand, a conclusive battle that will determine the fate of the characters and their world.

The song also touches on themes of deception and innocence lost, as seen in the lines 'Angels playing disguised with devil's faces' and 'Children cling to their coins squeezing out their wisdom.' These lyrics may represent the loss of innocence and the moral ambiguity present in the series, where characters who appear angelic may have malevolent intentions, and the young are forced to mature rapidly in the face of conflict. The repetition of 'Rastis! Rastis!' is likely a nonsensical chant that adds to the song's intensity and the chaotic nature of war. The mention of 'Destruction and regeneration' and 'You are the real enemy' speaks to the cycle of violence and the realization that the true adversary may not be as clear-cut as it seems.
