Barricades is the first song on Disc 1 of the album
"Attack on Titan" Season 2 Original Soundtrack, written by Benjamin
Anderson and mpi and performed by yosh, Gemie and mpi. Like all the songs
belonging to the album, it was composed and arranged by Hiroyuki Sawano.
Well, to begin with, this Soundtrack would have liked to
hear it as Opening, but it fulfills its function perfectly setting scenes of
the use of the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment.
Now, the lyrics reflect everyone's dreams and thoughts, but
two more characters stand out: Levi and Armin. The first because of:
.
.
.
"We have to learn to come back, come back
But is this worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her!
Oh my dirty hands
This never fades
And if we go out, we go out
I will think about the price of our soul
We have to learn to live free, live free
We will live a life without barricades
How long have I not seen the light shine
in my life?
I lost everything
Family, confusion on the road
Someone tries to talk to me
and point me the right way
My inner animal
now it can be tamed to go on the wall. "
.
.
.
That is generally the choir, it shows us the hard life of
Captain Levi, who has lost everything and despite having dirty hands for so
many deaths, he must learn to survive. "
The other part of the song:
.
.
.
"Wouldn't it be nice to take a walk
for the pure white sand
look at the horizon
without living in fear?
Wouldn't it be sweet to look at the curve of the sun
meet the waves?
And try splashing the ocean
And realize that we have been living as slaves "
.
.
.
It strongly reflects Armin's wishes that when he grows up he
realizes that his longing for him is nothing more than the discovery of his
true being.
