Re birthday (song)

"A black room, a huge clockwork, I am alone. An event in the deep darkness, or a dream which someone saw. The truth is in the light at somewhere."

Re_birthday is a song written by Akuno-P. It is the third song in the Clockwork Lullaby series. It was released on Dec 27, 2008.

Plot
The story starts where Irregular awakens alone in a dark room that has clockwork mechanisms on the ceiling. Not being able to see, he then hears a voice saying that he will be staying there for eternity and he starts to remember all the evil he has done. He found that his arms are in red handcuffs, like the red of bloodshed, and his ankles are in blue shackles, like the blue of tears shed. Irregular hears a "Lu li la" melody of someone's voice coming from somewhere and is slowly healing his soul, though he wonders who it is singing the melody.

An unspecified amount of time passes, and one day Irregular recognizes the meaning of the lullaby being sung as well as adds new words to it. Out of the ceiling a "message" arrives in the form of a light and the clockwork begins to move as the chains disappear, saying he will soon be reborn and this is his new birthday.

Conceptualization and Origin

Curiosities

 * Is officially the third song of the Clockwork Lullaby series, though not originally in the Story of Evil series. However, it was heavily believed that the song is written for Regret Message and has an obvious relation with it, as it is announced by mothy. The inclusion of the song in the album 悪ノ王国 ～Evils Kingdom～ shown the connection between the song and the series, in the album it is simply titled as Re_birthday.
 * The idea expressed of Irregular being reborn is similar to that of Buddhist Rebirth.
 * The Clockwork Doll may represent some sort of Purgatory, as Irregular is trapped inside of her womb, and must reflect and repent on the damage and pain that has been done to the people around him.
 * In the original PV, the screen turns green when Irregular is addressed for the first time, flashes red at the mention of the red shackles, and blue at the mention of the blue shackles. Fans have attributed this to representating characters played by Miku, Meiko, and Kaito, respectively.
