Apocalypse, Please \\ A Revolutionary Girl Utena Fanmix
"Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a little princess,
and she was very sad, for her mother and father had died. Before the
princess appeared a traveling prince, riding upon a white horse. He had a
regal bearing and a kind smile. The prince wrapped the princess in a
rose-scented embrace and gently wiped the tears from her eyes."
"'Little one,' he said, 'who bears up alone in such deep sorrow, never
lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up. I give you this to
remember this day. We will meet again. This ring will lead you to me one day.'
Perhaps the ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring.
"This was all well and good, but so impressed was she
by him that the princess vowed to become a prince herself one day.
But was that really such a good idea?"
"All girls are rose brides."
Series \\ Patriarch On A Vespa, by Metric
Promiscuous makes an entrance
Her mouth is full of questions
Are we all brides to be
Are we all designed to be confined
Buy ourselves chastity belts and lock them
Organize our lives and lose the key
Our faces all resemble dying roses
From trying to fix it
When instead we should break it
We've got to break it before it breaks us

At the end of the world

"You see? This one has turned black. When a crest bearer dies, the color
changes in this way. Although I find the black one to be even lovelier."
Mikage \\ Dead Is the New Alive (Manipulator Mix), by Emilie Autumn
Dead is the new alive
Life's only living rival
A casket built for two
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You never win
A quick taste of the poison, a quick twist of the knife
When the obsession with death
The obsession with death becomes a way of life

The Black Rose Duelists \\ Simple Design, by Breaking Benjamin
I live a chemical life
I'm on a mission inside
You went insane for a day
I'll have to shove it away
My only option is gone
Smile as they break and they fall
You want a simpler life
You can't erase what was right
You must be out of your mind!
This was a simple design!
You fuck it up everytime
How could you leave me behind

"What do you see with your eyes? Merely your own world... The world you perceive.
The world in which you exist. A world like a labryinth with no way out, where you are
doomed by your limited point of view to endlessly wander the same path.
But what you truly need to see does not lie there."
Series \\ Apocalypse Please, by Muse
It's time we saw a miracle
Come on, it's time for something biblical
To pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end of the world
Proclaim eternal victory
Come on and change the course of history
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end of the world

"It's meaningless. My brother was part of who I was. I truly believed... I was sure there
was a bond between Big Brother and me. But... There was nothing! Nothing at all!"
Nanami \\ Missing (Studio Version), by Evanescence
You won’t cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won’t try for me, not now.
Though I’d die to know you love me,
I’m all alone.
Isn’t someone missing me?

"What's this? We've hit the wall already?"
Miki \\ Everything Changes, by Staind
Everything changes, if I could
Turn back the years, if you could
Learn to forgive me then I could
Learn how to feel, then we could
Stay here together and we could
Conquer the world if we could
Say that forever is more then just a word
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel.

"Whether the letter's contents are true or false doesn't
matter. I didn't sign up to be End of the World's lackey."
Saionji \\ A Life Worth Living, by Aereogramme
Oh, sweet emptiness fill my cup
Watch it overflow
And flood my soul
The silence that I know so well
My only friend
My bitterest opponent
The loneliest isle
But I came here so
I could let you go
And I could cut you out
So I can live
A life worth living
[ link ]
"You're the only one I love."
Multiple Characters \\ What Could I Say, by Trespassers William
How can you stare
How can you sit while I'm trying to tear you up
And I'm almost good at it
I told you everything I knew
I tore my pockets out and gave them all to you
You hold my throat like a violin
I never want to kiss again 'cause there's nobody like you
'Cause there's nobody like you
[ link ]
"He apparently knew how sick he was. But he still insisted on leaving the hospital to go back
to school... That reminds me. He used to say something a lot. He wanted to give the power
to grant miracles to the one he loved. He wanted to free her from something."
Ruka (Juri's POV) \\ For Blue Skies, by Strays Don't Sleep
I’m under that night
I’m under those same stars
We’re in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that’ve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn’t do I will
I forgive you
I forgive you
I forgive you
[ link ]
"Forgive me, Utena-sama. I've cheated you. I've used you. I've betrayed you from the very beginning."
Anthy \\ The Interview, by AFI
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
Here's my lullaby.
Hush now don't you cry.
Calm down. Come down.
Cold resides with me.
With me.

"But that's all right. I know, now. That wizards and fairies and princes on white horses and
kind-hearted, true friends! They all only exist in fantasy. But that's all right. We know, now."
Utena \\ Castle Down, by Emilie Autumn
You can see that I swim
Through the sea of painful
You have watched as I pull
Myself from the floor
And you were there when I
Built my tower like pebbles in the rain
Trying to balance all that I had left
With what I didn't have anymore
But would you tear my castle down
Stone by stone
And let the wind run through my windows
'Til there is nothing left but a battered rose?
[ link ]
"Forgive me, Himemiya... For pretending to be a prince... Forgive me."
Utena \\ Holly Wood Died, by Yellowcard
Nobody told her she'd lose in the first round
The last fight was fixed from the start
Name's on her sidewalks they move through her body
Like razors they cut through her heart
Hey, let go of all you know
You're flying away now
What have you got to lose
And say out loud these words I've found
I'll be there when you come down
I'll be waiting for you
[ link ]
"I came all this way to be with you. So don't be afraid of this world where we can meet."
Utena & Anthy \\ Sleeping With Ghosts, by Placebo
The sea's evaporated
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line
Hush, it's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die
[ link ]
"It's as I thought. She caused no revolution to occur . . ."
"You really don't know what's happened, do you? By all means,
stay in this cozy little coffin and continue to play the prince.
But I have to go now."
Series \\ Look Up, by Stars
Your friends hold the lullabys
They watch the way the night lies
Soft sounds, heads like a radio
Hearts wrapped in blankets, laying low
Hearts wrapped in blankets, laying low
You're cold, maybe you just miss the sun
You fall feeling like it's just begun
So far keeping it together's been enough
Look up, the rain is falling
Looks like love
[ link ]
"Listen, if you ever have a problem, come to me first. I
want us to be friends like that. And someday, together..."
"Someday, together...?"
"And someday, together, we'll shine."
