Lain

I am falling,

I am fading,

I have lost it all

Help me to breathe...

Lain Opening Song

Serial Experiment Lain

I thought of different Thurday Quotes. 

I could not made up my mind. 

 

New York, New York by Frank Sinatra ?

No, I am not in NYC and have not journey planned there.

Gimmie ! Gimmie ! Gimmie a man after midnight by ABBA ?

I did not like the videos I found on the web.

Then I thought about Lain, a Japanese cartoon, which my sisters used to watch when we were younger and of which I never understood anything...

"It is because you did not watch ALL the episodes in the right order..."

Or I may not be ready to watch that kind of psychological series. 

Anyway.

I have always liked the end of the opening music. 

So I posted it today.

As far as I recall, Lain is an allegory for the dangers of a not so new now parallel internet world. 

Its creators did not fear to deal  with difficult themes like schizophrenia, craziness, consequences of suicide for those who stay (there is no suicide scene...), non-communication in some families, loneliness of teenagers, dangers of living in a parallel virtual world...

I will eventually try to watch it again and I'll tell you...

Lyrics :

And you don't seem to understand,
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear.
And you know what they say might hurt you.
And you know that it means so much.
And you don't even feel a thing.

I am falling,
I am fading,
I have lost it all

***

I am falling,
I am fading,
I am drowning,
Help me to breathe

I am hurting,
I have lost it all,
I am losing
Help me to breathe...
