"O"-Thesis.Antithesis.Synthesis.



[ Thesis ]
So tell me, what do you think about the way things are?
There are no principles nor standards nor absolute truth.
You're struggling to understand what justice and truth is.
An ideal that does not exist in reality is just an image. "O"

[ Antithesis ]
"O..." I'm afraid, you feel. It's your opposition.
"O..." Utopia is forever elusive.

[ Synthesis ]
All we seek now is effort for the sake of harmony
Let us join hands and shout together.
People who thirst for this dream to be realized...
Gather courage in the form of righteousness!

You know! Check it, check yo!
Irrational disputes, flying at each other.
Here we go, right now! An open mind yo! Open mind!
That's how we'll find a resolution.
I gotta go, gotta go, gotta make my opposition righteousness, rightly justice, till it's right.
The effort of Thesis. Antithesis. Synthesis. will someday make the dream bloom on this earth.

[ Thesis ]
When everyone works towards even a small dream,
Things will change. We just have to pave the road.
I mustn't hinder the flow of progress with the weight of my opposition.
We can coexist at any time!

[ Antithesis ]
"O..." I don't know why, I'm still afraid. Am I doing this the right way?
"O..." We struggle towards our destination.

Always believing that a growing harmony
Will surely be acheived.
Someday, like a blooming flower,
wouldn't it brighten the earth?
Thesis!
Antithesis!
Synthesis!
Burdened by scars, it seems you face trials in the dark.
Even if you start to feel like retreating,
No matter what, don't stop! Don't stop!

[ Antithesis ]
"O..." Don't be afraid. Keep going on for life,
"O..." All the way, until there's nothing left.

[ Synthesis ]
All we seek now is effort for the sake of harmony
Let us join hands and shout together.
People who thirst for this dream to be realized...
Gather courage in the form of righteousness!

[ Thesis ]
In this society, people go about
Offering neither right nor left hand. We just have to pave the road,
Nothing can stop us. Silence the doubts--Ah!

Phrasing of the lyrics is arranged as follows:
[ Thesis ] This is the state of affairs. Something needs to be done about it to make things right again.
[ Antithesis ] It will be difficult, no doubt, and you will struggle against inner opposition/fear. Fight against it.
[ Synthesis ] But if we come together and work towards it, harmony can be achieved.

I'd never thought something like this would happen to somebody so so close. I feel oddly disconnected cos I am so far away and it hasn't sunk in as yet. I knew something was wrong from the moment her voice changed and I finally confronted her and she didn't have to say anything cos I knew it from the time I started having those bad dreams every single night last week. I am still getting them each night but this isn't about me at all. This is totally out of the context but I'd always thought if I ever wrote a book the main dedications would be to both of them "To ____ for letting me be. To ____ for giving us the life you did cos today as I like look back I realise its been a good life all thanks to your little sacrifices over the years which we never understood."

Now I am sitting out here with my hands tied and I can't do a thing but to wait and watch. I know everybody says tis gonna be okay but until it does get okay all we can do is hope that it isn't as bad as they are making it out to be and pray. I know you'll never read this but I'd do anything to have you call me some 4 times every night complaining about how much she nags you and asking me whose side would I be on each time you quarrel. The phone calls have stopped and the silence is screaming out loud.....

Many kisses Mara-san!!!
