Interpretation
The lyrics of the song 'Schicksal' from
Detektiv Conan describe the search for truth and the belief that one will see the light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long it takes. It emphasizes the difficulty of finding truth in a world full of illusions and deceptions ('The truth hides / Can I really believe what I see / So many illusions never lead to the goal'). It also addresses the manipulation of truth, which is often hidden behind facades ('The truth gets lost / It gets changed and twisted / And behind all the facades, a double game is played').
The singer expresses his belief that it is his destiny to walk this difficult path of searching for truth ('I know for sure, it must be my destiny / To go the way, whatever happens'). It is emphasized that recognizing the truth is only a matter of time, and that despite all the difficulties, one believes in the good ('Because it's only a matter of time / Until one sees the truth').
The lyrical self shows an unwavering determination to see the light (the truth), no matter how long it takes ('And it will continue like this for a long time / But then, one will see the light'). The song ends with a strong statement of faith - not only in destiny and truth, but also in another person ('I believe in it... / I believe in you...'). This could be a metaphor for the relationship between Detektiv Conan and the people around him, especially those he loves and protects.
