Lyrical Analysis of...
Itachi's sacrifice
- [Intro]
- Self sacrifice
- A true shinobi does not set out to seek glory
- They protect from the shadows, that is the mark of a true ninja
- [Verse 1]
- As a child that saw men die
- And their death on the line as I question why
- But then I find that I’ll sever ties
- Jealous guys, never friends of mine
- In disguise, never meant to cry
- See the crows fly, 'cause I’m dead inside
- Yes, I lied with regret in mind
- Said it once when I said goodbye
- Made them pledge you’d be left alive
- Or my Tsukoyomi gonna petrify
- Intentions, unidentified
- Let you despise with the reddest eyes
- Sacrifice, so I rectify
- So you don’t have to end the life
- Of a loved one to prevent strife
- Sorry, Sasuke
- Maybe next time
- [Hook]
- He asked “why, Itachi?”
- And I lied through my teeth
- 'Cause Sasuke I’m watching
- From behind Akatsuki
- So just mind Kakashi
- And no one could stop me
- From what’s right for my team
- This whole time, you taught me
- The truth sets you all free
- And Shisui, I’m sorry
- But your eyes will guide me
- In this life I’m fighting
- [Itachi]
- To live life being hated, that's one life for a ninja
- I'll always be there, like a wall you need to climb over
- Even if it means being hated
- That's what big brothers are for
- [Verse 2]
- Show me all the hatred I brought you
- I’m fanning all the flames with the Amaterasu
- You thinking I’m insane, but it’s only a costume
- Like Izanami pain when you learnin' the hard truth
- Is it real or fake? A genjutsu, you got fooled
- Your curse, I’ll take from Orochimaru
- Living to die by my brother
- Show me why you had struggled
- If you want to fight, my rebuttal
- Is a cycle of torture for your mind, no recover
- But your lightning is coming from behind
- So I’m summoning the fire as a punishinment for crimes to our mother
- I was blind to your troubles, so I’m dying
- A Susano'o against your attacks
- Your chakra’s low, you stepping back
- While the blood flows from my weapon rack
- My Mangekyo will then collapse
- But before I go, I’ll set a trap when he says the facts
- [Itachi]
- Forgive me, Sasuke
- But this is it
- [Hook]
- He asked “why, Itachi?”
- And I lied through my teeth
- 'Cause Sasuke I’m watching
- From behind the false screen
- Now go back to Hidden Leaf
- And no one could stop me
- From what’s right for my team
- This whole time, you taught me
- The truth sets you all free
- And Shisui, I’m sorry
- But your eyes will guide him
- In this life, he's fighting
- [Itachi]
- I wanted you to grow up and judge me
- I deserve to be dealt with only by another Uchiha
- And so, I took advantage of the hatred inside you
- That's why I failed
- [Verse 3]
- I’ma show you one last time
- Before my soul goes back to paradise
- 'Cause Kabuto is actin' out of line
- So help me close this shadow in the light
- Vowed to hold Leaf Village up high
- And that’s including you, so don’t deny
- War broke out despite how hard I tried
- But you’re all right no matter what the plight
- I know that I failed to keep you by my side
- But what is a village, only you can decide
- What is a village, only you can decide
- [Hook]
- He asked “why, Itachi?”
- As I float from body
- 'Cause Sasuke I’m watching
- From behind the pure land
- So go back to your team
- And no one could stop me
- From what’s right for Hidden Leaf
- This whole time, you taught me
- The truth sets you all free
