The part where utena gets herself back in order, just goes along with I STILL Exist, and you cand see the animation goes full HD just 5 seconds to show the facial expression. It is priceless
Missing link... Missing link... The lost link in the chain. I am disconnected... Though I continue to evolve. Stars up above Why do I exist in this world? Missing link... Missing link... The lost link in the chain. I am disconnected... Though I have the power to join. Mirage before me Why am I here now? I did not want to be born and yet I was born all the same. Though it marks my beginning My birth leads to my death. My birth leads to annihilation. The repetition, so absurd I am disconnected and yet I am still connected See, I have vanished yet still I sing. See, I have vanished yet I still smile. See, I have vanished yet I am petrified. See, I have vanished yet I still live. I am still here. I still exist. I am still here. I still exist!
For some reason I always imagine this song as being sung by a chorus of Egyptians who mourn the deaths of their firstborn (if it was from a non-existent opera about the Book of Exodus). It sounds a little like Puccini could have composed it imo

Oh man, I have mixed feelings about this song. It brings up PTSD about the trauma of watching Utena and how much the characters suffered individually and collectively.
It kind of brings up alot for me too, there was some crazy stuff going on in my life at the time, and certain situations that were really echoed in the show. It's an incredible series, but holy crap it makes me feel sick sometimes.
