There are so many names in the song, but names are nothing more than images. There is so much loneliness in this song, and the loneliness is more than real.

Ebilu Solitra

The distant 'Dark Lands.' An ancient, timeworn city, as old as time itself, sinking into the sands. Heavy clouds loom above, forever hiding the sun, and the air is so blisteringly hot that every breath feels like it burns your lungs. How did we end up in this cursed, godforsaken place? Is this where we’ll die?

It’s a shame you never saw the sunrise over Eyo… But believe me, the sunrises there are the most beautiful.

Glæða Sólning Eyo

Does anyone remember a movie called Donnie Darko, starring Jake Gyllenhaal? Donnie had a habit of sleepwalking and often woke up in strange places. Something similar happened to me once, and I greeted the morning in a place that felt so familiar, so close to my heart, yet long ruined by time. Old memories came rushing back to me, and I captured them in this unusual song. Even if the words are unclear, I’m sure you’ll be able to feel my emotions.

Noki Karela

This song is dedicated to the most touching and heartwarming story I have ever seen in my life. Haibane Renmei (Ailes Grises) — an old house and the tale of Reki and Rakka will forever remain in my heart and memory.

"Закрой глаза. Говорят, что серокрылые исчезают навсегда если их провожают в полёт."

Гли город (the city of Glie)

This song is very personal. It reminds me of summer evenings I used to love spending far away from the city, at cozy cabins by the river. I really miss those carefree days—so much has changed since then. But the tranquility of that time has stayed with me forever.

Sinió

The wind chills me to the bone, yet I keep walking, clinging to faded memories. Everything that was once important has lost its meaning. It doesn’t matter where my heart leads me when there’s only darkness all around.

Hjarta Ilse

Some memories are like a venomous snake cradled in my hands—one careless movement, and they strike, sinking their fangs deep. The poison spreads so swiftly that it feels like it could paralyze my entire nervous system. Some things are better left forgotten.

Tsúmei Nyóka

In memory of all the fallen comrades of 'The Black Company', their names forever etched in gold on the pillars of eternity.

"A place where I can rest." The wind that was always with us on the plain almost stole his words away. "A place where all evil dies an endless death. No wickedness stirs down there, Little Girl."

Ika'na Vinda, Mala Morte

To seek what was lost long ago, to try and remember what has faded from memory, to chase after those whose paths diverged from yours. To move forward with desperation, only to return to where you began.

To wear your feet to blood, to travel a long road, and, in the end, to find peace.

Nyanika Jánasya (Várakai)

Gospel of Matthew 26:31-42
Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will." "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same.

Gospel of Matthew 26:69-75
Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said. But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

Then he went out to the gateway, where another girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.” He denied it again, with an oath:“I don’t know the man!”

After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away.” Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them,“I don’t know the man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Sometimes it feels like Attack on Titan strangely intersects with biblical themes... The verses mentioned above remind me of how Armin and Mikasa turned away from Eren at the end of the story. And how bitterly Armin wept, remembering the words of his dead friend—the very one he had turned away from...

"Sasha and I were like twins. It feels like half of me is gone." — Connie Springer, Attack on Titan

Bury me near (Sayōnara, Sasha)

To You, in 2000 Years. 

"I feel like I just had the longest dream... What was it? Now I can't remember..." — Eren Yeager, Attack on Titan

Крылья свободы (Wings of Freedom)

I wait for spring, in shadows, alone,
I wait for spring, where far-off winds roam.
I wait for spring, for warmth and its light,
In dreams, it's spring—but my body stays lost under snow's white...

... .--. .-. .. . --.  /  .- . ... . .

Я жду весны, в тени одна,
Я жду весны, в иных краях.
Я жду весны, тепла и света,
В мечтах весна, а тело навсегда под белым снегом...

Svit teni (Soran rei)

Don’t even ask what this song is about. The original lyrics were written by me about 14 years ago, back when I was a teenager. Not long ago, I stumbled across them among some old notes and decided, just for fun, to mess with the text by distorting it with elements of Icelandic and Ukrainian grammar. It turned out a bit strange, but also nostalgic and amusing.

Mizu No Yume

I’m absolutely in love with video games... They are my greatest escape...

Call it infantile if you want, but maybe the only reason I wake up every morning is my favorite games. They let me forget about a meaningless life and escape from the grim reality.

...I probably would have broken down and given up long ago, but luckily, I’ve found solace and shelter in better worlds.



“That's the thing about getting old, Shepard. The platitudes get just as old.” —Garrus Vakarian, Mass Effect

N7 (Sit with me, John Shepard)

Spirits must leave this world, but sometimes it’s so hard to let go of those we held dear... This song is a farewell, a sorrowful ode to those who left us halfway through our journey. 

Rest in peace.

Taluá Amana

Happiness is in the struggle, and the struggle is our freedom. Spread your wings, dance with me in the warm summer rain — there’s no one freer than us.
