[Verse 1]
Posters on the wall
Names I can’t pronounce at all
Still I scream them out
Like a battle shout (hey!)
Late night
Blue screen glow
“Just one more” before I go
Sunrise in my eyes
But I press “next episode”
[Chorus]
Anime for life
From the first swing to the final fight
They’re not cartoons
They’re the way we survive
Every frame a little piece of our minds
Anime for life
From the small worlds to the city skies
We will love these stories till the day we die
They’re pure masterpieces
Teaching us how to rise
[Verse 2]
You’re the quiet kid in class
Hiding chapters in your bag
I’m the one who hums the theme
Like a secret flag
Side by side at every con
Different favorites
Same heart song
You say “that scene made me strong”
I say “that arc kept me holding on”
[Chorus]
Anime for life
From the first swing to the final fight
They’re not cartoons
They’re the way we survive
Every frame a little piece of our minds
Anime for life
From the small worlds to the city skies
We will love these stories till the day we die
They’re pure masterpieces
Teaching us how to rise
[Bridge]
[Female vocal
Soft
Then building]
When I fall apart
I remember them
Every flawed hero who stood again
[Male vocal]
When the world feels too heavy to hold
I see those panels turning into gold
[Both]
We grew up on credits rolling
Still our hearts keep on unfolding (oh)
This is how our spirits learn to fly
[Chorus]
Anime for life
From the first swing to the final fight
They’re not cartoons
They’re the way we survive
Every frame a little piece of our minds
Anime for life
From the small worlds to the city skies
We will love these stories till the day we die
They’re pure masterpieces
Shining in our eyes
