Everything You've Ever Dreamed is an unused song available only on the S2 Works and Refrain of Evangelion CDs. The singer is Arianne, while song composition was done by Shiro Sagisu. The original lyrics were by Hideaki Anno which was later adapted into English by Mike Wyzgowski.
The song appears to be about Shinji and Asuka's relationship as the lyrics imply. And although it wasn't used in The End of Evangelion, Everything You've Ever Dreamed gives it's own insight on why Shinji strangled Asuka during the final scene.

Anno's original Japanese lyrics

Translation

Chorus: What did you do to that girl? Chorus: What did you want to do to her? I wanted to kiss her. But I was hurt. She brought pain to my heart.

Even so, I hurt that girl's heart, as well. I inflicted the greatest hurt upon her. I hurt her with kindness. Chorus: Did hurting her bring you sorrow? Chorus: Did hurting her bring you pain?

No. Hurting her gave me pleasure. Hurting her gave me delight. Because she wouldn't accept me. I don't even accept myself. I haven't since I felt the pain in my heart. CHORUS: If that's so, why do you live? If only I would die.

CHORUS: Die. Die. Die. Die.

Why am I still living? Because I'm still alive. But that girl hasn't met me. I want to meet her, but I don't. The strength to meet her isn't there. I've been hurt more often than I hurt others, but I'm not accepted. This is my punishment.

Death will not become my redemption. For the sake of my redemption, I live. CHORUS: You go on living, but you don't care. CHORUS: Selfishly, you go on living, but you don't care. But how do I intend to make up for everything?

...I don't understand.


Mike Wyzgowski English Lyrics Adaption

What was it she did to break your heart Betray your heart and everything Kiss you with a kiss that wasn't true It wasn't you at all Hide behind a painted smile, did you know that You would live a lie or two Pull the very ground from under you And leave you nowhere else to run

You can sail the seven seas and find Love is a place you'll never see Passing you like a summer breeze You feel life has no other reason to be You can wait a million years and find That heavens too far away from you Love's just a thing others do What is love Til it comes home to you *

Did she promise you the world and did that Girl just throw your love away Leave you like a lonely solitaire With just despair for company Do you think you'd find revenge so sweet Make it so you hearts will never beat Squeeze the very last and dying breath from Everything you've ever dreamed
