Yoko Kanno & Ilaria Graziano - Monochrome

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex OST (Track 16)The pure music so the deep emotions of this song don't get lost. Lyrics:"Where all the colors areOceanThe silent ocean knowsYour faceYour realityHaven't been the same latelyWonder could it be a lack of devotion?Seeing in monochrome Who taught you emotionsWho taught you emotionsFeelCan you feelMight be why colors disappearThe place we call our soulOceanThe cyber ocean seesYour dreamsYour totalityNothing stays the sameSomedayI hope you will make more lasting connectionsFeeling in monochrome Who taught you emotions Who taught you emotionsSee Can you seeColors that the ocean offersBe Can you be Something more than black, white and grayBeing in monochromeWho taught you emotionsWho taught you emotions..."Based on the second episode ("Night Cruise") of GITS: SAC 2nd GIG. It's a view into the schizophrenia and paranoia of the protagonist. His "real I" doesn't fit the society, so he started to build up a new personality, the "social him", to be able to live in this world and maybe to finally find his love. But in this personality he's unable to feel anything, the world loses its color. A little comment I want to add from "DeafDumbBlindMute" on songmeanings.net:"Also, the word monochrome sums it up you know? The same color in different shades - Black, White, and Gray. Black and White being two colors that are often seen as opposites but in this case they are just different shades of each other...again the schizophrenia. Its like you say, the he is separating from the person he was, and becoming something or someone else, but it is still all the same, just different shades of his original self, amazing lyrics."If you don't know this episode, just watch it. It's really one of the beautiest I've ever seen and gives you a better understanding of the lyrics. Many people think it's about love because they never saw it.
