Amadeus

The song 'Amadeus' by Steins;Gate delves into the intricate themes of time, logic, and the human experience. The lyrics open with a sense of uncertainty about the future, symbolized by the decision not to carry an umbrella despite not knowing the weather. This metaphor extends to the emotional realm, where tears are transformed into 'gentle lies,' suggesting a coping mechanism for dealing with pain and uncertainty. The imagery of a 'fragment of the sky' trapped in a box that doesn't fit into the future's puzzle further emphasizes the struggle to reconcile past experiences with future possibilities.

The song then transitions into a more complex exploration of logic and its limitations. The 'infinite iterations of reasoning' that produce noise and the logic that can deceive even gods point to the limitations of human understanding and the fallibility of even the most rigorous logical systems. This is a nod to the themes of the Steins;Gate series, which often grapples with the complexities of time travel, causality, and the limits of scientific understanding. The promise to reach 'that place of promise' suggests a quest for a deeper truth or a return to a pivotal moment in time.

In the chorus, the lyrics speak of opening the 'gate of zero,' a reference to the series' central concept of zeroing out timelines to achieve a desired outcome. The transformation of everything into particles and the reassembly of consciousness hint at the idea of rebirth or a fresh start. The song concludes with a hopeful note, envisioning a time and place where the protagonist's journey can begin anew. This reflects the series' overarching theme of perseverance and the relentless pursuit of a better future, despite the complexities and uncertainties of time and logic.
