Enola

Lyrics

 * 1 "If you recall, the so-called father of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer, famously quoted the words of Krishna from the Bahgavad Gita as “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds”. Depending on the translation, though, that line apparently can be read as “I am all-powerful Time which destroys all things”. A bit of debate still rages as to the proper translation. Either way, Krishna makes clear that he will kill all eventually."
 * 2 "The kanji say “outer space” but what he actually sings is “sky”."
 * 3 "“Mysterious” in the sense of a “sacred mystery”."
 * 4 "Or living through/on two worlds? Could it mean living in two parallel worlds? Or is it more about how we can be (mentally or emotionally) in more than one place or time simultaneously, like how we live in the past and the present, which are essentially two separate worlds but both real to us. I don't know."

Versions
The prominent synth-string lines and the triple metre tempo lend the song a waltz aspect. The song was played on the last day of the concert during a scene where Astro-Hue sees some of his own memories from three months before. That lead some to re-interpret the song as saying that the real "Electronic Tragedy" is the fact that human memories are nothing more than bio-electric signals or part of an organic network structure.
