Going through the musics, I decided to put a new poll on my profile. Question is: From the last opening theme (the one from the Fullbring Arc), who do you think that would be a good choice to sing it in the next Concept Covers? I can't vote myself, but I think Yukio would a good choice. I think it fits him... Please collaborate and vote yourselves!
This one is based on Alones by Aqua Timez. It was used as the sixth opening theme song for Bleach and it was sung by Kōsuke Toriumi (Szayel Aporro Granz's voice actor) in the second Concept Covers. I actually didn't like this music at first, but Kōsuke's version made me love it. I advise you to check it.
This will revolve around Szayel's thoughts while he waits for his death, following his battle against Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Alone
by Szayel Aporro Granz
Pale broken wings. From standing here in the same place for so long, I can't support their weight anymore. Tired, so tired…This sky has been blue for so long that I can't look at it anymore. It's just too blue…I have to get out of here! Not for the 10, as I don't care about them. For me, the only candle lit up in the darkness.
Loneliness is creeping me out though…
While I'm totally incompatible with that bustling crew, I wish for them to come and rescue me. That's how low I landed after falling from grace… For a while I had the words of that despicable Shinigami echoing in my head, but they quickly got buried somewhere. I can't even remember them anymore. The absence of his words, the last thing I had, left me with nothing. As an Arrancar, I never thought the hollowness inside me could increase any further. But it did…
Within dreams, one can swim freely even if there isn't anywhere like the place you're dreaming of. That's how dreams are supposed to be. Not for me…For all the time I have to dream, I'm stuck in a sea of despair from which I can't get out. What's the point of dreaming if I can't even face tomorrow?
Inferiority…They say it brings peace to one's heart, as you realize there's no point in trying to prove yourself anymore. You just have to remain quiet and enjoy the new peacefulness in your life…However, in this first time of mine in being inferior, that peace won't come true so simply, I'm afraid. In such a long time, it has been nothing but a mirage. Settling above your self-consciousness is not easy to do. It's like being the petal reflected in a mirror. Something impossible to be reached, only for you to find out that you've been withering away with time.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! HURRY! Hurry…Hurry up and put me out of my misery!" Straining my lungs, I beg for his pity. But nothing happens again…
It's so frustrating…
As time slowly passes, I curse my wounds. So beautiful, so short lived and yet no one would say that if they saw me now. My new, longer hair already covers the scar that stubbornly refuses to be born. I feel my skin creasing and my bones about to turn into dust. Thankfully, there's no mirror in front of me. I wouldn't be able to love the petal reflected on it. I don't have any strength left to force myself to do such a thing...
My prayers are shaking in the bright light, as I finally feel a blade piercing my flesh. Hurry up! Reach my heart, please!
I'm sick of this world where I fail to walk forward. I'll gladly give my life up, if that means this feeling of sinking will stop. Refraining isn't courage, but even if I avoid a miserable life, I openly embrace death. Doesn't that make me courageous? Can't you grant me my wish for such bravery? The dry land has sucked up all of my tears already, so do it! Do it, as I'm sick of feeling… alone? When did I start to care about that?
Alone…
Why do I feel so alone?
