Duvet

The opening theme of the 1998 anime series "Serial Experiments Lain", released as the third track to Bôa (UK)’s 1998 album "The Race of a Thousand Camels" and later the first track on the US release "Twilight". Written by vocalist Jasmine Rodgers, “Duvet’s” meaning is different depending on whether it’s taken within the context of the anime or not. In context with the anime, it reflects the main character Lain Iwakura’s struggles with understanding the world around her and her wish for a helping hand. Out of context, it depicts a relationship between her and another guy who turns out to be very different from what he seemed to be at first. It’s the band’s most popular song, and subsequently one of the most beloved opening themes among longtime anime fans.

And you don't seem to understand A shame you seemed an honest man And all the fears you hold so dear Will turn to whisper in your ear And you know what they say might hurt you And you know that it means so much And you don't even feel a thing I am falling, I am fading I have lost it all And you don't seem the lying kind A shame that I can read your mind And all the things that I read there Candle-lit smile that we both share And you know I don't mean to hurt you But you know that it means so much And you don't even feel a thing I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning Help me to breathe I am hurting, I have lost it all I am losing Help me to breathe
