Everything You've Ever Dreamed
'"Everything You've Ever Dreamed" is a song composed by Shiro Sagisu, with vocals by Arianne. Like Komm, süsser Tod, 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. It was recorded for along with KSD, but was discarded.[1] The early EoE drafts also mention an unspecified credits song after the beach ending scene, probably this one.
This song was first released in the S² Works box set as the final track of Disc 6, listed in the tracklist under the codename "M-11"; and later re-released as part of the Refrain of Evangelion compilation.

| あの子に何をした？(コーラス) あの子に何をしたかった？(コーラス) あの子にキスをしたかった。 でも、つけたのはキズ。 僕の心は、キズついた。 でも、 あの子の心にも、キズをつけた。 もっと大きなキズをつけた。 優しさが、あの子に傷をつけた。 傷つけて、悲しかった？(コーラス) 傷つけて、苦しかった？(コーラス) ちがう。 傷つけて、うれしかった。 傷つけて、たのしかった。 だから、あの子は僕を許さない。 僕も僕を許さない。 心の痛みを知ったから。 だったら、何故、生きてるの？(コーラス) 死ねばいいのに。 死ね。死ね。死ね。死ね。(コーラス) 何故まだ、生きてるの？ 僕はまだ、生きているから。 ただ、あの子には会えない。 会いたいけど、会わない。 会うだけの力が、僕にはない。 傷つけた僕は、もっと傷つかなくては、許せない。 これは僕のバツ。 死は、償いにはならない。 償いのために、生きている。 生きているのは、かまわない。（コーラス） 勝手に、生きていくのは、かまわない。（コーラス） でも、どう償うつもりなの？ ...わからない。 |

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 you intend to make up for everything? ...I don't understand. |
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 You can sail the seven seas and find Love is a place you'll never see Passing ou 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 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 |
Notes
- The intro of "Everything You've Ever Dreamed" appears during the Evangelion Symphony rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon", at the 5:22 mark.
- It's likely that this song was intended to be used for The End of Evangelion's ending credits, after the final scene.
Analysis
- The lyrics (both Anno's originals and the English adaptation) seem to be about the relationship between Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu.
