We have arrived at the song that plays during Utenas duel with Shiori, the bisexual disaster that causes problems for everyone around her because of her own insecurities. This is the first song in which "time", meaning the devices built to keep track of it, become a motive withing the build of the song itself. Keep an eye out for that. Its a surprise tool that will help us much later on :).

5 years ago a channel simply titled "Utena" uploaded a series of videos where they set out to interpret the infamously cryptic lyrics of RGUs songs that play during the duels. They sadly stopped after the duel of Utena and Touga during the first arc. But because I love the project and I think it has a lot of potential, I am going to try and continue it in a series of videos.
Disclaimer: This is by no means an accurate translation, but an interpretation of the lyrics based on other translations and my understanding of the plot and characters. Naturally this means that these are by no means "final" versions of these songs. My goal is to simply provide one answer to what these cryptic lyrics could mean for those who have been puzzled about them and to make a small contribution to the discourse around the show.
