Their happiness is overwhelmed by this fact with that sense of being (sense of sin) never going away (because the ghouls have to continuously eat meat and survive, reminding them of who they are). They lived life trying to be happy with each other, but in the end, they are what they are, children of sin (ghouls). This refers to the main cast in Anteiku.īut then comes We drank the paint dry/ The colors of the rainbow changed. We lived such a beautiful life implies that these children (ghouls) tried to live happily and innocent, supported by the line We clapped our hands and smiled. So again, the "We" are the children birthed from evil and hate (ghouls). They are born out of evil (and the lust of flesh- double entendre here). The we are the children of these prostitutes, born out of sin, evidenced by the line it was of a time we were born. Knowing a prostitute is mentioned later in the opening and this is the city of wombs, we can assume this metaphorical setting is a city of prostitution, representing a place of sin and continuously birthed hate. I had a dream/ It was of the time we were born/ We lived such a beautiful life/ in a city of wombs. If you're interested in finding meaning to this opening, here's my line by line analysis using the official translation.
