32Attack on Titan Ending 1: "Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai" (This Beautiful Cruel World) by Yoko Hikasa
Attack on Titan Ending 7: "Akuma no Ko" (A Child of Evil) by Ai Higuchi
What do you think after seeing the two openings side by side?
Let me know in the comments.
Translation of Endling 1:
That dream is where our hearts reside—
A place more fragile than life itself.
We throw it away, then find it again… over and over…
So let it be put to rest here and now.
Our pleas are interrupted by a pulsing urge:
The more we forget, the more we end up remembering…
In this beautiful, cruel world,
We constantly question why we’re even still alive.
Ahh, with these strengths… these weaknesses…
What can we possibly manage to protect?
Now that nothing makes sense anymore…
The sky must feel miserable;
Ash and mirages dance on high.
Frozen by warm words,
Sleep now… unbeknownst to the world.
Within sticky illusions, our grief is hidden away…
Until it latches on again, squeezing tight enough to tear us apart.
In this beautiful, cruel world,
We constantly beg death to wait just a little longer.
Ahh, we’re birds sitting on a fence, never taking flight…
We don’t even know for sure
If lies are more beautiful than the truth.
It’s too bad… if we were a song,
We’d raise our sails to the approaching wind…
We’d deliver hope to someone else,
Never losing our way…
In this beautiful, cruel world,
We constantly question why we’re even still alive.
Ahh, with these strengths… these weaknesses…
What can we possibly manage to protect?
Now that nothing makes sense anymore…
Translation of Ending 7:
An iron bullet is proof of justice.
Whenever I shot I became closer to the hero.
If you close your eyes and touch it,
The evil who has the same body and the same temperature.
Am I not good enough and is he better for you?
There was just a wall.
Don’t cry about the destiny we were born with.
Cause we are all free.
If we have wings like birds,
We could go anywhere.
If we don’t have a place to return to,
We might not be able to go anywhere.
I don’t want to just live.
This world is cruel, but I still love you.
Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.
Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it.
What is right is believing in myself strongly.
A scene of iron rain falling.
It looked like a movie on TV.
War is a stupid, violent thing,
Fought by countries I don’t even care about.
So then why do I hate him?
Why can’t I hide my black feelings?
I can’t even explain it.
What a bunch of contradictions we all are!
Even if these words could be translated,
The true meaning wouldn’t be conveyed.
You can only believe
The world you can touch, with eyes wide open.
I don’t want to just live.
This world is cruel, but I still love you.
Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.
The shadows of those who were chosen, the corpses of those who were discarded.
I’ve realized that growing inside of me is a child of evil.
Behind my righteousness, surrounded by sacrifice, in my heart is a child of evil.
