"The narrative and world-view of the story was a great motivation for the composition, and the time spent building the sounds with our trusted vocalist Mizuki and the musicians was very worthwhile yet short-lived." ― Hiroyuki Sawano[1]
Avid is the first ending theme song of the 86 -Eighty Six- TV-anime adaptation performed by SawanoHiroyuki[nzk]:mizuki. It was released as a single on June 9, 2021.[2]
Lyrics[]
か弱い光が指差す先
Silent Haze 霞がちに止まる影
ハチロクのリズム書き出される
ぎこちない Innocent Heart
Close my eyes and feel your order, make them see
Don’t know what I want, let go 夢見る
ジリジリ刻む
本当の世界笑えた？
Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls
仰いだ空が色変えるから
My naked heart can hear echos, echos
知らず求めた Avidity
拙い祈りが織りなす波
Modern Days 波間で埋まる足
鼓膜に響く音いつ蓋される
止めどない Rhythm heart
Plug my ears and fear you are the tendency
You don’t know how repressed you are, you make me blue
絶え絶え理想
本当の想いを拾えるか？
Don't you get there? It calls, it calls
一個じゃ希望開く螺旋のSong
My naked heart can hear echos, echos
あの日失くした Avidity
Whisper your name again
And restart it right away
Oh my, bitter colour, ardour, wander
Gotta feel it undercover
行方も知らない
Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls
仰いだ空が色変えるから
My naked heart can hear echos, echos
知らず求めた Avidity
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh my, bitter colour, ardour, wander
Gotta feel it undercover
行方も知らない
Kayowai hikari ga yubisasu saki
Silent Haze kasumi gachi ni tomaru kage
Hachi roku no rizumu kakidasareru
Gikochi nai Innocent Heart
Close my eyes and feel your order, make them see
Don’t know what I want. Let go yume miru
Jirijiri kizamu
Hontou no sekai waraeta?
Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls
Aoida sora ga iro kaeru kara
My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes
Shirazu motometa Avidity
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh bitter color ardor wander
Gotta feel it undercover
Yukue mo shiranai ano hi no gunjou
Tsutanai inori ga orinasu nami
Modern Days namima de umaru ashi
Komaku ni hibiku in itsu futa sareru
Tomedo nai Rhythm Heart
Plug my ears and fake, you are the tendency
You don’t know how repressed you are, you make me blue
Taedae risou
Hontou no omoi wo hiroeru ka?
Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls
Ikko ja kibou hiraku rasen no Song
My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes
Ano hi nakushita Avidity
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh bitter color ardor wander
Gotta feel it undercover
Yukue mo shiranai…
Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls
Aoida sora ga iro kaeru kara
My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes
Shirazu motometa Avidity
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh bitter color ardor wander
Gotta feel it undercover
A faint light points ahead
To shadows stalled in a silent haze
A rhythm in 6/8 is written out
An uncomfortably innocent heart
Close my eyes and feel your order, make them see
Don’t know what I want, just let go and dream
So scattered and carved
Can you still smile after seeing the true world?
Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls
The sky I look up to changes in color
My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes
Avidity that I sought without even realizing it
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh, bitter color, ardor, wander
Gotta feel it undercover
We know not where that ultramarine may wander
Foolish prayers weave waves
Feet covered by the tides of modern days
A sound echoes, when might it be contained?
A never ending rhythm heart
Plug my ears and fake, you are the tendency
You don’t know how repressed you are, you make me blue
The ideals are all dying out
Can you still pick out the true emotions?
Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls
Just one hope will unleash a spiral song
My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes
Of the avidity we lost that day
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh bitter color ardor wander
Gotta feel it undercover
We know not where…
Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls
The sky I look up to changes in color
My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes
Avidity that I sought without even realizing it
Whisper your name again
Restart it right away
Oh, bitter color, ardor, wander
Gotta feel it undercover
