[Verse 1] Give me your eye Give me your skin Give me your voice (Nevermore, nevermore) Give me your lung Give me your name Give me your faith (Nevermore, nevermore) [Pre-Chorus] Welcome to our wonderland You're chosen to be the only one Follow the crow Now listen carefully He'll make you anything you wish to be Count to three [Chorus] Tell me, if I'm the only one Can you make me special in this hollow world? Admiration, recognition, confirmation All I ever wished for! Tell me, if I'm the only one Can I be the winder of this broken world? One black crow said, mockingly "Perhaps you won't be yourself in the end, but oh, well…" [Interlude, spoken] (Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door) [Verse 2] Give me your wing Give me your claw Give me your tail (Nevermore, nevermore) Give me your song Give me your fame Give me your life (Nevermore, nevermore) [Verse 3] Give me your eye Give me your skin Give me your voice (Nevermore, nevermore) Give me your lung Give me your name Give me your faith (Nevermore, nevermore) [Pre-Chorus] Yesterday I saw someone burying a crow deep in the ground Someone I know What am I becoming? He looked at me, asking me silently "Are you me?" [Chorus] Tell me, if I'm the only one Why am I becoming doubtful of this world? Opposition, accusation, complication Wake me from this nightmare! Tell me, if I'm the only one Why is there another winder of this world? One white crow said, pitifully "Perhaps he forgot to tell you something, but oh, well…" [Bridge] Tell me, if I'm the only one Can you make me special in this hollow world? Admiration, recognition, confirmation All I ever wished for! Tell me, if I'm the only one Can I be the winder of this broken world? One black crow said, mockingly "Perhaps you won't be yourself in the end, but oh, well…" [Chorus] Tell me, if I'm not anyone I can make you special in this hollow world Admiration, recognition, confirmation All you ever wished for! Tell me, if I'm not anyone I can choose you as the winder of this world I'm gonna say, nevermore "Perhaps I can make you anything you wish to be…" [Outro, spoken] (And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!)

Meaning of "ネヴァモア (nevermore)" by sasalasa
The lyrics paint a picture of a desperate plea for validation, a soul bartering away pieces of itself for recognition in a "hollow world." The repeated demands – "Give me your eye," "Give me your skin," "Give me your voice" – escalate into a full surrender of "your song," "your fame," and ultimately "your life." This relentless giving is framed by the haunting refrain of "Nevermore," suggesting a futile exchange where true fulfillment remains out of reach, despite the promises of a "wonderland" where one can be made "special." The central tension lies in the narrator's yearning for significance versus the crushing reality of their perceived insignificance. They crave "Admiration, recognition, confirmation," believing that being "the only one" or "the winder of this broken world" will grant them this. However, the appearance of crows, one black and one white, introduces doubt and a mocking commentary on this quest, hinting that the cost of this transformation might be the loss of self, as suggested by the lines "Perhaps you won't be yourself in the end." The interlude, quoting Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," directly links this narrative to themes of loss and inescapable despair. The most striking aspect is the lyrical manipulation of identity and agency. Initially, the narrator is the one demanding, the one seeking to be made special. By the end, the perspective shifts, with a voice (perhaps the crow's, or an internalized echo) stating, "I can make you special," and "I can choose you as the winder." This final chorus, however, is punctuated by the definitive "nevermore," implying that even this offer of power is a hollow promise, a final denial of the very validation sought. The spoken outro seals this fate, a soul trapped "in that shadow," never to be lifted. This song's power comes from its stark portrayal of existential longing and the seductive, yet ultimately destructive, nature of seeking external validation. The escalating demands for parts of the self, coupled with the ever-present "Nevermore," create a palpable sense of dread and resignation. The lyrical structure, moving from desperate pleas to a chillingly passive acceptance of a promised, yet denied, transformation, effectively captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled desire.
