I'm also curious to know how you found out which of the sentences are being quoted by the singer, as if said by someone else The person singing is explicitly saying that there are things that will never change and identifies his love as one of those things. In the second case, I really really lost you and I'm still confused about what the first sentence means (so, does it mean "everything will change" or not? It's a linguistic barrier for me). Accepting that their love is over will bring the singer no peace. The lyrics are referring to internal peace. He will choose to fight and die because there's no other way. If the words lead towards a tomorrow without peace, then obviously accepting those words does too. I just get everything is over and tomorrow will have no peace, regardless. I still fail to see anything related to accepting what happened = there will be no peaceful tomorrow. What do you think Spike refers to when he talks about the "dream" he is/was (voluntarily?) trapped in? Why do you think Spike went to claim Vicious' life, saying he wanted proof of being alive despite knowing it was a suicide and despite his friends trying to make him change his mind? This seems pointless - to Jet and Faye for sure -, but in Spike's eyes, it's probably the only thing he has left to do, since he's unable to recognise the value of his present relationships (like the cat that lived with countless owners but never loved anyone except the white cat) and Julia, a part of himself who made him feel whole, died. Thus, rather than having awakened to reality and trying to prove he's alive, it looks more like he's still living in the past and deliberately looking to die while achieving vengeance. It seems to confirm the story he told Jet, the eternal cat that finally dies after crying for the loss of his only true beloved one, but fitting Jet's story even more: humans frantically search in their past for proof of having lived, before dying. In the aforementioned last argument, Spike tells Faye that he wants to find out if he's really alive, but I think he doesn't really answer her question: "why are you going there if you know you're going to die?", as it sounds contradicting that one would want to prove being alive by going to die, knowing it's a suicide. Spike's reason for going back and fight Vicious at the end, after Julia is killed, is apparently nothing more than revenge, like what happened with Mao and Annie (instance where Julia realises they aren't fleeing as he won't let her death go unavenged), but there's more: "proving if I'm alive". And why would Julia say "it's all a dream"? What is it? During the last argument with Faye, he claims he wanted to live in an everlasting "dream", but he's finally awaken (after Julia's death), as if that brought him back to reality, although he's already been clashing with his past several times. In Ballad, he tells Vicious he lives in a dream from which he can't awake. So he's quite trying to ignore his past (act which I at first assumed was the "dream"), but at the same time, if this same past comes near, he immediately packs and departs to chase it (Ballad of Fallen Angels, Jupiter Jazz 1 and 2, The Real Folk Blues 1), supposedly popping the very bubble he claims to be in. Throughout the show, Spike isn't actively trying to go after Vicious or find Julia, unless he hears word about them or their whereabouts from other people. Something I feel I kind of missed and I think is important to understand the finale is the concept of Spike's "dream", together with Julia's last words "it's all a dream". I would like to know your opinion and share mine for a lovely discussion. I realised it wasn't really clear for me and I may had simplified it. I just rewatched CB, my favourite anime ever, for the fourth time because, you know, why risk watching new shows when there are the good old ones? But this time, I focussed more on the very final part and noticed several seemingly contradicting or ambiguous details.
