 I just love to hear such songs recently.
Ask why?
Maybe because life is kinda stressful these days :D

The music just fits the meeaning this song contains perfectly.

Ps: I never watch the anime Saiyuki yet thogh ^_^

Have a nice day! :)

I write you some of lyrics I put my favorites most on :

"Even when it seems that nothing can go right,
and you want to just give up,
if you close your eyes,
you can see the world from your heart.

In this world when life can be so tough
You must be strong
Just believe in yourself and don't you fear
So open up your mind and close your eyes
Take another look from the other side

Even on a lonely night, when you wander afraid,
you may be alone now, but
your feet can take you however far you want to go, so

Just hold on tight, because if you close your eyes,
look inside yourself, there's a shining light there.
Yes, I want you to believe in everything.
You can take another look from the other side..

Just hold on tight, even if your heart is breaking.
Reach into your soul, even if you can't see tomorrow.
Yes, if you have the strength to live,
You can take another look from the other side,
until you find all that is love..."


Open Up Your Mind  - Saiyuki OST

An insert song of Code Geass Lelouch of Rebellion.
It's really a sad song for a tragic bond. I guessed, this is meant for Lelouch who sacrifices everything for his little sister Nunally. And also since this song is played in the initial meeting of Euphie and Suzaku, this is also a song for their love story which never meet a happy end.
 
The meaning of lyrics:

Stories
Vocals: Hitomi
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Kuroishi Hitomi

You are my stories
Unread stories
You are my stories
Unread stories

When I gazed at your eyes
I could see an unknown country

Stories with their doors opened
Stories that won’t ever close again
Stories with their doors opened
Stories that won’t ever close again

Destiny is unchangeable
Let’s go to an unknown country

I want to protect you
Just with that wish alone
In this pitch-black world
Until the moment when light overflows

I want to protect you
Just with that wish alone
In this pitch-black world
Until the moment when light overflows

Code Geass - Stories

The first time I heard this song is when Lelouch and Shirley go shopping together to buy a gift for their friend. Actually, the dating is arranged by their friends to trigger the relationship between Lelouch and Shirley. But actually, Lelouch is just too focused on his obsession of being a Hero for the world that he never realized Shirley's pure love until Shirley passed away.

IMO, Shirley's love is similar to a mother's love for her son. Shirley accepts Lelouch however he is, both the good side and the bad side of Lelouch. Only if she's not dead, she can be the only truthful one whom Lulu can go back to every time he feels not okay. It's so frustrating to know that Shirley must die. Especially when she said, "Is it okay, Lulu, isn't it? No matter how many times when I'll be reborn, I will fall in love with you again and again..."

Masquerade
Vocals: Hitomi
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Kuroishi Hitomi

While my heart is still locked
With a cold attitude, I don a mask on my body
Who knows
My true face? Besides you

Without ever giving a thought about exposing
My own weaknesses and strengths
I hid my tears
From people who can show their true faces

I can’t lose you, who I kept searching for

You’re My Destiny
I want to try and believe
I still don’t understand the meaning of eternity
But You’re My Destiny
If I compose tomorrow’s dream
Then it’ll become my destiny
Say you’ll share with me one love

In order to seize it in my hands
I calmly hurt others and lived to this point
But loneliness
Was the only thing left in the hands of who I am

I won’t desire anything if you’re by my side

You’re My Destiny
Open your heart
I want to confess my unyielding thoughts
You’re My Destiny
The bond that I feel
Is the destiny of our meeting
Say you’ll share with me one love

You’re My Destiny
I want to try and believe…
You’re My Destiny
In tomorrow’s dream…

You’re My Destiny
Open your heart
I want to confess my unyielding thoughts
You’re My Destiny
The bond that I feel
Is the destiny of our meeting
Say you’ll share with me one love
