139 spoilers
every time i listen to the song i remember eren. “get free” is what he always wanted. and so many lines in the song make me think about him
1. “Finally...
I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world
To the reveal of my heart”
the “finally” is just so suiting for the end. eren finally gets away from all the shit he did in the world, and he can finally reveal what he intended with it. he doesn’t have to keep it from his friends anymore, he doesn’t have to lie to them.
2. “Undoubtedly...
That will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea
And the darkness from the arts”
what he did saved so many people from the dead. he brought back the ones who turned into titans. there is no more darkness, and so he brought peace
3. “This is my commitment
My modern manifesto
I'm doing it for all of us”
he really did do it for all of them. he did it all for his friends. the entire plan, manifesto, was for them. what he committed was all for his friends :’)
4. “For... and for...
And all my birds of paradise
Who never got to fly at night
'Cause they were caught up in the dance”
this really just speaks for itself. his birds of paradise, his friends. they were caught up in the dance of killing others and each-other. they never got to fly, and be free
5. “Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game, or live my own life”
eren was in a war with himself. he knew everything before anyone else, he knew who he was going to kill and he knew he couldn’t do anything about it. then he had to play along with zeke and yelena’s game for the sake of others safety
7. “And you, as we found out
Were not in your right mind”
this describes how people would blame him and hate him. until they found out he just wasn’t doing okay. he was overwhelmed. and in the end, everything he did was for them
To the boy who sought freedom...
you can rest now
