Lyrics[]

Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!
Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!

Nani wo shinjite nani wo erabu no ka
Hito wa itsudatte sō, jiyū no naka
Jiyū wo motome furīzushiteiru
Aru ga mama wo toraerarezu ni

(Samayō) Kono tenohira (hikiyose) yasashiku tsutsunda
(Kirameku) Ai no kakera sagashi
(Wagamama ni) Sugiyuku ima wo (oikakete) kōkai ni kaeru yori
(try) Asu e (try) tsunagō

Mune no uta wa soko ni aru no ka?
Sei wo ukekasaneru kono kodō
Ta ga tame ni hibikaseru…?
Ono ga michi wo tsuranuke
Unare kakugo wo shiru mono nara
Sā, muni no senritsu wo hanate

Seigi no dōkoku shikkoku no ikkoku nuritsubushite
Fukanzen ni nageki higeki no shōgeki kesenai mama

(Shizuka ni) Kizu wo masaguru (ano hi no) hakanaki negai wa
(Kidzukeba) Doku no yō ni megutte
(Mamoru hodo) Tōnoku kibō (nigeru tabi) nijiriyoru zetsubō
(why?) Asu wa (why?) doko e…
"Kako to iu dokubō kojiakero"

Taenu uta yo kimi ni todoke
Ayamachi mo yowasa mo sarakedashi
Umareta mama no kokoro de
Sono subete kanjitai yo
(cry) Tsuyoku (cry) tsuyoku…

Sakimawari karamawari
Ikidzumari tachidomari
Taijisuru wa ono ga hajimari

Tatoe sekai ga mu ni kishite
Kono mi chiri ni narihatete mo
Kimi to kanadeta tada hitotsu no uta ga
(Kikoeru) Hikari wo (kikoeru) shimeshite (kikoeru) todoroku
"Zenryoku de ikiro kono toki wo"

Mune no uta wa soko ni aru no ka?
Sei wo ukekasaneru kono kodō
Kimi no tame ni hibikaseru
Futari no yume wo tsuranuke
Unare kakugo wo shiru mono nara
Sā, muni no senritsu wo hanate

Inochi no oto wo…

Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!

Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!
Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!

何を信じて 何を選ぶのか
人はいつだってそう、自由の中
自由を求め 拘束(フリーズ)している
あるがままを捉えられずに

(彷徨う)この掌 (引き寄せ)優しく包んだ
(煌めく)愛の欠片探し
(我儘に)過ぎ行く今を (追いかけて)後悔に変えるより
(try)未来(あす)へ (try)繋ごう

胸の歌はそこにあるのか?
生を受け重ねる この鼓動
誰が為に響かせる…?
己が道を貫け
唸れ覚悟を知る者なら
さあ、無二の旋律を放て

正義の慟哭 漆黒の一刻塗り潰して
不完全に嘆き 悲劇の衝撃消せないまま

(静かに)傷を弄る (あの日の)儚き願いは
(気付けば)毒のように巡って
(守るほど)遠退く希望 (逃げるたび)(にじ)り寄る絶望
(why?)未来(あす)は (why?)どこへ…
“過去という独房 こじ開けろ”

絶えぬ歌よ 君に届け
過ちも弱さも曝け出し
生まれたままの心で
そのすべて感じたいよ
(cry)強く (cry)強く…

先回り 空回り
行き詰まり 立ち止まり
対峙するは己が始まり

例え世界が無に帰して
この身塵に成り果てても
君と奏でた ただ一つの歌が
(聞こえる)光を (聞こえる)示して (聞こえる)轟く
“全力で生きろ この瞬間(とき)を”

胸の歌はそこにあるのか?
生を受け重ねる この鼓動
君の為に響かせる
二人の夢を貫け
唸れ覚悟を知る者なら
さあ、無二の旋律を放て

生命(いのち)の音を…

Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!

(Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!)
(Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!)

"What do you believe in?" "What do you choose?"
People are always like that in their freedom
Without being able to grasp the plain truth
That seeking such choice is freezing them in place

The wandering palm of my hand is drawn close and gently enveloped
While I search for the sparkling fragments of love
Rather than chasing the selfishly passing present and turning it into regret
(Try) I'll connect (Try) to tomorrow

Is that where the song in my heart resides?
This beat that continually receives life—
For whose sake do I make it resound…?
I persevere down my own road
If I'm someone who knows how to roar out my resolve
Then now, I'll unleash a melody that's second to none

The wails of justice are blotted over with darkness in an instant
Incomplete in grief, the shock of tragedy is left unable to be relieved

Quietly fingering my wounds, the fleeting wish from that day
Circulates me like poison before I can realize it
The more I protect it, the more hope recedes; every time I run, despair sidles closer
(Why?) Where is (Why?) tomorrow heading…?
"Prize open the prison that is your past"

I send to you this ceaseless song
Exposing both my mistakes and my weaknesses
I want to feel all of it with
A heart as raw as the moment I was born
(Cry) Stronger, (Cry) stronger…

Forestalling, idling
Stalemating, standing still
Confronting myself is the beginning

Though the world may return to nothing
And even if my body is reduced to dust
The one and only song that we sang together
(I can hear it) Will show (I can hear it) the light (I can hear it) and roar:
"Live out this moment with everything you have"

Is that where the song in my heart resides?
This beat that continually receives life—
It's for your sake that I make it resound
Our dreams will persevere forth
If I'm someone who knows how to roar out my resolve
Then now, I'll unleash a melody that's second to none

The sound of my life…

(Live…! Live your life, now! Can live freely!!)

Trivia[]

  • "Metanoia" derives from the Greek word of the same name: μετάνοια. It symbolizes atonement, repentance or a change of heart, which is commonly found within the New Testament.[1]
    • It could also be taken as an anagram of 'ai no tame', which means 'for love's sake' in Japanese.
  • METANOIA is the only OP theme to be of a different genre—mixed rock.
  • The Duga radar can be seen behind the Symphogear logo in the first few seconds of the OP animation.
  • The B-side "SUMMER PIRATES" references both Stand up! Ready!! and Stand up! Lady!! in its lyrics.
  • Like all other Symphogear opening themes (except for Exterminate), there is a final attack in XV Episode 13 that shares the same name as this song.
