歌词
(台词对话来源:eva英文配音版)
You are extremely afraid of any kind of initial contact don't you?
Are you that afraid of other people?
I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust,
for while you may not be hurt that way,
you mustn't forget that must endure the loneliness.
Man can never completely erase this sadness,
because all men are fundamentally alone.
You know pain is something man must endure in his heart,
and since the heart feels pain so easily some believe life is pain.
You are delicate like glass.
(music:Right Away, Great Captain! - Oh No, I Tried)
Said that im afraid to die
with a pitchfork witty
And a man who sits up high
And I can hear the fire
I'm a dead dog sinner
And man to scared to try
And you are too close to call
I would sell my martyr for the chance to hear you talk
And oh no, I tried
And I tried
Oh no, I tried,I tried
What if you could see my skin
Would you burn me moving
Would you make a match out of my head
What if you could touch my hand
Through the deep sweat sweating
For a guilty, guilty man
What if you could see my heart
Would you say oh brother
You're the reason that we still don't fall
and the reason that we still don't starve
Oh no, I tried
I tried
- Wait. What is this?This is me.
This is the shape that lets others recognise me as myself.
It is my symbol for myself.
This is, this is and this is as well.
Representations, everything is merely a description not the real myself.
Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier, to let others recognise me as me.
But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self?
What is it that I am?
- You are you. There is little difference between how you interpret yourself and how the others interpret you.
- Right. My clothes, my shoes, my room.
These are all parts of what makes up myself.
- These things are connected through your consciousness.
- So what I think is me, is me. What I recognise as self, is myself.
I'm no more and no less than the sum of my self awareness.
But I don't understand myself. Where am I? What am I? What am I?
Nobody understands me.
- What are you stupid?! Of course nobody understands you!
Nobody can ever understand you!
- The only one who can take care of you and understand you is, you, yourself.
- So you must take care of yourself.
- But I still don't understand myself, I don't even know what it is that makes me myself.
How can I love myself?
- You are still unstable.
- That is, the present you.
- And the people around the present you.
- And the environment that surrounds the present you.
- None of these elements of reality last forever.
- Time continues to flow and time brings change.
- Your earth is in a state of constant change.
Your capable of change anytime your mind perceives these changes.
- What is this? A world of nothing,a world with nobody in it?
- This is the world of perfect freedom. - Freedom?
- Perfect freedom. A world in which you have no restriction.
- Is this really freedom?
- Yes. This is what it is.
- However, this world has nothing in it.
- Unless I do something?
- Right. Unless you do or think of something.
- But, I don't know what to do or think of.
- He is uncertain.
- He has no self image to orientate himself.
- There's nothing solid here.
- It is a world in which there are no obstacles, no anything.
- This is a world in which you can do anything you wish.
- And yet, you are still afraid, aren't you?
- Don't you know what it is that you want to do?
- What should I do?
- Let me give you a restriction.
- There, now you have a top and bottom.
- But you have lost a degree of your freedom.
- You may no longer fly, you must stand upon the earth.
- But now you feel easier, don't you?
- Because you have less to trouble your mind.
- And now, you can walk.
- This is happening because you will it to be.
- Is this my will?
- This world with the floor is the only thing around yourself.
- But now, you can move around anywhere you wish to within it.
- You could even turn the world upside down if you wanted to do that.
- And your perspective within your world is constantly changing.
- It changes with the passage of time.
- You can change yourself as well.
- Because the thing that forms your shape is your mind and it's interaction with the world that surrounds you.
- You can do anything here, because this is your world.
- This is the shape of your reality.
- What is this? An empty space? An empty world? A world where nothing exists but myself?
But with only myself, I have nothing to interact with.
It's as if I'm here, but not here at all. It's as if I'm slowly fading out of existence.
- Because only you are here.
- Only myself?
- Without others to interact with, you cannot truly recognise your own image.
- My own image?
- That's right. In the act of observing others, you may find and recognise yourself.
- You self image is restrained by having to observe the barriers between yourself and others.
- And yet, you cannot see yourself without the presence of others.
- Because there are others, I can perceive myself as an individual.
If I am alone, then I will be the same without others.
For if this world is only of me then there will be no different between me and nothing.
- By recognising the differences between yourself and others, you've established your identity as yourself.
- The very first other person is your mother.
- Your mother is a different individual.
- Right. I am me and she is she.
But are you really sure that the perceptions of others form my true self?
- It's true, Shinji Ikari.
- Has it taken you this long to realise that? What an idiot!
