...Hide serially visits Tsubasa from time to time at her apartment and at one visit tries to remind her what she has now ("Duh! Winning!") and at another what kind of person she can be ("Dirk Nowitzki vs. The Heat")...
lyrics
[6]
“You will be giants in the land.”
Yet we did not believe.
So as we passed our peers in height
our hearts started to freak.
We quickly found that extra height
is a burden not easily borne
We can not fit in human homes
yet see over their heads.
“Cut me off at the knees,” some cry
“And then I’ll be like you!”
Others stop their growing
And from then on, just make do
But what of those who keep on growing?
Where do they call home?
Their footsteps fill the world but I
still don’t know where they’re going.
It’s not easy for men to know
that giant hearts to tick too
And as our man friends dwindle
Our use for height does too
And I am at the trailhead.
I see wanderers ahead
Those who beg on crippled legs
and ignorers behind
but i dont care
I will grow strong and mighty
but mostly go alone
Does being what we’re meant to be
replace the yearn for home?
i dont think so
this is the sacrifice
i have gone through
i can never return to where you are
just come with me
the "cut off yr knees" is just a metaphor
its easily recoverable
easily regenerable
