広がる闇の中 交わし合った
革命の契り
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかないから

果実が告げた未来
夢 理想に変える

誰もが望んだ「終幕」を

広がる闇の中 交わし合った
革命の契り
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない
いつか僕が見せてあげる
光り輝く世界を

    I've heard this song on the Deathnote opening, and i have no clue what it means! However, i do feel like it is somewhat following the story of Deathnote, and asking the obvious question- "is it just to kill hundreds of people to make the world a better place?"

    This song really spoke to me the first time I heard it through. I mean, the part 'Someday, I’ll show you A shining sky' made me kinda sad. I've always loved this song as the opening theme of Death Note (Desu Nooto) and I have to agree with foreverago: it really DOES fit the tone of the story; kinda dark & mysterious, with a LOT of, well, death in the first dozen or so episodes. Plus, Yomi's voice is SOO the sex!

    I have to follow up woth what foreverago and ~Kira X Kira~ said, it totally fits the story. Every part of the song has something to do with Deathnote. The part "Yume risou ni kaeru (dreams, turned into ideals)" really relates with Light because his dream of changing the world eventually not only becomes his ideal, but also his obsession. Then the line "Doushite Boku wa kowareta Messiah, dare mo ga nozonda owari wo (Why? Am I a broken Messiah, everyone wished for a finale) shows Light's confusement as to why everyone is turning against him. Dosen't everyone want a "finale" so that all the crime will end? Dosen't everyone wish for a paradise? Then why are people trying to killl him if he's trying to show them, "a shining sky?"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
