"Before My Body Is Dry" is a song by Kobayashi Ore/David Whitaker on the album Kill La Kill Original Sound Track. It's an episode of "kill la kill.".
Kill la kill (キルラキル) is a bloody fantasy original television anime created by Kazuki Nakajima and directed by Yoyuki Imaishi. The official slogan reads "Dress, kill, hunger, ghost, and survive, and finally smash the world!" ”。 Set in the Honnō Gakuen, which is dominated by force and terror, the anime tells the story of the girl Whoreko, who comes to honka gakuen as a transfer student in search of her father's enemy, and fights against the student council president Oni Ryuin Hatsuki, who mainly dominates the important forces of the academy, and the four kings of the student council.
The song "before my body is dry" can be translated as "before my blood dries out", referring to the blood that needs to absorb the flow when the blood starts. The whole song revolves around the flow of children and blood (love). The passionate prelude, to the guitar where the life part suddenly quieted down, only the bass and drum beats left To make Kobayashi's voice more prominent, the chorus part of Kobayashi's iconic penetrating treble is still eye-catching, her voice is transparent, and the excessively smooth treble is extremely explosive, which has almost become a sign of her. The rap part of David Whitaker's thick male voice pushes the song to a climax, and the effect of rap and treble interspersed with each other is more shocking than the treble or rap effect alone.
we're ready to fight
We are ready to fight
look over there
Look there
they try to kill us for stars
They wanted to kill us for the sake of the garments of God
our bond has got much stronger than before
Our entanglement needs to get stronger
——《before my body is dry》小林未郁,david whitaker
The lyrics of "Before My Body Is Dry" seem to recall something, just like in the anime, full of fighting vengeful girl, she has an extremely strong, domineering, tough personality, full of personal temperament of the villain as the protagonist's eternal competent opponent, rather than the heinous villain. In order to become stronger, he hides his secrets deep in his heart, silently waiting for the opportunity, and seems to have no choice, but after going all out, he will still stand out, dig out the secrets hidden in the depths, and find out the murderer of his father, because the blood on the hands of the family is also not resigned. It was revenge, but also survival, and at this moment someone needed to stand by her side and tell her that everything she had done was worth it, it was right, and that the weak girl who was isolated and helpless slowly became indestructible.
stay with me and let's stand out
Staying by my side makes us stand out
and out shine those trying to get our stars now
We will let those who wish to receive the garment of our God see our shine
all we have to do is figure out how strong we are
All we have to do is figure out how strong we really are
In the anime, the president constantly provokes The Streamer, and constantly motivates the Streamer, from the beginning of the single-piece Tai knife of the Streamer, to the moment when the Leader of the River Boy cuts off the enemy with his hand, falling in love and killing each other, this is the double-beheading girl. The works contain and allude to a very deep philosophy of life and even moral concepts, which are worthy of our deep consideration and exploration.
