"Barricades" OST is a description of AOT's thinking

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.
