Bio |
Hand out the window Floatin' on air Just a flip of the wrist And I am wavin' you goodbye Children are usually taught the concept of death at a very early age. The lucky ones learn as they watch a faithful dog or cat being put to sleep, life slowly ebbing from once-powerful limbs, eyes slowly fluttering shut, as peaceful as sleep itself. Less lucky are those who are forced to stay in the stark white rooms of hospitals, machines whirring and beeping to keep a relative alive—grandmother, uncle, sometimes even siblings; the pain is all the same. And yet, pain is all relative. He doesn’t exactly remember how he went, nor does he really care. All Gin knew was that the relief which death promised him never came; he simply went from one nightmare to another. If anything, it was worse; now that everyone had experienced a taste of death, they no longer feared it, no longer held back for fear of God’s redemption. As Gin felt the sting of a blade cutting across his arm, bright red immediately marring the white of his skin, he swore that he would get back. Somehow. Drive past the lifeguard stand Where I sit around waiting for you to remember As I drive She needed him. The glint of her hair was clearly visible against the dull green of the grass, and for a moment, all Gin could do was admire the full color of her round curls, tips tickling his fingers as he wove them in the thick strands. His gaze moved to her eyes, lids heavy with exhaustion. If he didn’t act fast, it would be too late—he could tell from the dulled blue color of her irises. “You’re hungry, aren’t ya? Eat up.” The days passed. “Hey, Ran. I wanna get away from it all. Will ya come with?” How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying And how the grace with which she walked into your life Will stay with you in your steps, And pace with you a while So long, so long He remembers first being called into the fifth division headquarters. It had only been a few days since he had graduated from the academy, and yet Gin couldn’t say that it was a surprise. Plopping down in the seat across from the fifth division captain, Gin’s grin widened, crevices in his cheeks capturing the shadows in the room. “Can’t begin t’tell ya how honored I am, sir. T’be yer new lieutenant.” It was like looking into a mirror. “Please. Call me Sousuke.” The speaker in this door is blown So nothing sounds quite right Takin' my time, takin' this drive, wavin' this town goodbye, And I drive this ocean road and remember The small of your back And the nape of your neck I remember everything as I drive, wavin' this town goodbye Sousuke asked the same types of questions. What really separated the Hollows from the shinigami? Were they not all working towards the same ends, each seeking the power necessary to run the world as they saw fit? It wasn’t as though Sousuke’s plan as any more just--rather, Sousuke was just seeking to fulfill his own desires. But it sounded oh so fun, testing the limits of authority, seeing once and for all whether the Gotei had the means to back up their holier-than-thou attitude. I remember ‘I am merely practicing Saying goodbye to you.’ How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying And how the grace with which she walked into your life Will stay with you in your steps, Pace with you a while So long, so long... To say that he regrets the decision would be a lie. Gin is not a man of regrets, for his actions are carefully planned—always reversible. Even now, he is merely biding his time, slowly allowing the balance to waver, and one can be sure that whichever side ends up winning the war, Gin will be right there with them, taking full advantage of the situation. And I will leave under the cover Of summer's kiss upon the sky Like the stone face of your lover Just before she says goodbye I was certain that the season could be held between my arms Well just as summer's hold is fleeting I was here but now I'm gone... I'm gone... I'm gone, I'm gone I'm gone... He has only looked back once. |
...saying goodbye to you.
