Meguru Sekai No Requiem

“Meguru Sekai No Requiem” by VOCALOID is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into themes of eternal cycles, unfulfilled desires, and the bittersweet nature of existence. The lyrics paint a picture of a world caught in an endless loop, where dreams and reality intertwine in a delicate dance. The song opens with the imagery of a cradle of time, where cold dreams are dreamt, and a gentle lullaby is sung. This sets the tone for a narrative that explores the contrast between what is desired and what is inevitable.

The song juxtaposes the desires of two voices: one longing for an unending world and the other yearning for the end of the world. This duality is further emphasized by the recurring themes of light and darkness, hope and despair. The chosen voice, filled with confusion and sorrow, sings of transforming sadness and suffering into joy and smiles. However, the question arises whether these efforts are in vain, as the singer wonders if they will wither away without reward. The desire to protect and save is strong, but the realization that these feelings may never intersect adds a layer of melancholy to the song.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the cycle of life and death, hope and despair, is inescapable. The lyrics speak of a requiem that continues forever, a fate that cannot be defied. The voices sing of illuminating the future, even as they are burdened with pain and suffering. The song ends on a poignant note, with the singer expressing a desire to fulfill all wishes and illuminate the future, even as they acknowledge the inevitability of decay and the eternal nature of the requiem. The final imagery of sleeping in the depths of light suggests a peaceful acceptance of this cyclical existence, bringing a sense of closure to the hauntingly beautiful narrative.
