Clockwork Lullaby (song)

"This singing voice is a clockwork lullaby."

- ???

Clockwork Lullaby is a song released by Akuno-P on March 22, 2008. It is the second song in the Clockwork Lullaby Series.

Plot
The song is set in an unspecified time and place. A mysterious singer, after obtaining the "key called words," begins to tie them into a song: a lullaby she wanted others to listen to, with a distinctive "Lu Li La" pattern. She also takes a toy she had always wanted and throws it out a window.

The singer questions the wishes and desires of the humankind, and she tells them to "go to sleep." She expresses uncertainty about the song healing the heart of someone with a sin of desire. Regardless, she declares that she will continue singing, believing that the memories and traumas will continue melting and blending with the song.

Composition
The song operates on the VOCALOID2 program with the vocals for Kagamine Rin. The song uses piano, synth drums, and synth piano.

The song opens with an opening instrumental, and the first verse begins at 0.26. The first pre-chorus begins at 0.43, preceding the first chorus at 0.50. The first chorus ends at 1.09, going into an instrumental break until 1.24, when the second verse begins. At 1.41, the second pre-chorus begins, followed by the second chorus at 1.48. After the second chorus finishes at 2.09, another instrumental break begins, lasting until 2.40, when the final chorus begins.
