Source = The anime movie Wicked City (1987) aka Yuujou Toshi which itself is an adaption of the 1985 novel Wicked City Kikuchi, Hideyuki (Story), Kojima, Ayami (Art). As classic as 80's anime and fiction can get.

This song did these things: 1. Helped my depression 2. Made me believe in love again. 3. Make a best friend. 4. Fall in love with The Midnight 5. Start loving the saxophone 6. Help me get through long night shifts at work. 7. Help me be creative and write music again. Just thought you should know. Thank you. Edit: Fast forward to today.

@@thekeefer690 When I said OK. I was referring to your statement : the lyrics hit you like a hammer af..NOTICE, IMHO..DO I have to explain what IMHO ?? NO I don't...Lets keep this at least basic...Christ existed and is an historical figure..So it's only a matter if you accept him as your savior or not...Heaven is a free gift from Almighty God...There is nothing we can do to earn and deserve heaven, cuz it's ETERNAL happiness, for free..If I'm wrong, you have nothing to worry about, but if I'm right, you WILL NOT go to heaven and WILL go to hell...Christ himself went to hell and said to them, do you accept me as your savior ??

I completely agree with the other commenters here. If your here, then you have excellent taste in music. Listening to this takes me back to my 80's childhood. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

[@carlosr8680]

I love how they play metaphorically with the title of the song and the true meaning of it, basically the human himself is like a vampire stripped of his immortality, who refuses to accept the harsh reality of things, we are only here for a short period of time and most of the time we waste it giving importance to our own existential crises instead of enjoying it to the fullest together with the beings who really love us, before it is too late and they leave or we leave before that they, forever. The lyrics are simply beautiful and cleverly brutal.

[@wildweavergaming9404]

That's some pretty deep insight there. Might not have come to that conclusion myself if I didn't see it here. Good job.

[@BendingGrid]

I would say the song meditates on the fleeting nature of human interactions, the moments of connection amidst isolation, and the existential journey from birth to death. The narrative emphasizes both the transitory moments of beauty and connection and the overarching solitude and impermanence of existence.

[@davidgeerling9871]

Glad u r a thinker about might, or will not happen happen we all die...Since U R a thinker, I humbly suggest, AT LEAST PONDER Christ your savior...The COOL THING IS, if you accept him as your savior, all ya have to do is refrain from sin and ETERNAL HAPINESS is yours !! NOTHING is better than eternal happiness...If I'm wrong, you have nothing to worry about...If I'm right, IMHO, you WILL NEVER be accepted into eternal happiness....Brother, I've ponderd my life HONESTLY FAR MORE than most people have ever pondred their life..I was born and raised as a catholic and Christ has correctly steered me away from their INCORRECT TEACHINGS, incuding the apochrapha...Yes God alIows a HELL OF A LOT Bad things to happen and could go on and on ! ...How about this one passage in the Bible and I LOVE IT...Evil ( JERKS) will be cut down like the weeds....Normally I don't throw out Bible passages... OK...God DOES NOT tolerate jerks cuz HE IS LOVE and is giving jerks their JUSTIFIED DAMNATION....They have their ENTIRE LIFE to change their ways...Just saying !! God bless :):)
