Changes: Heartbeat Clocktower

Revision as of 11:55, 5 December 2019

"Just before his death a solitary man created that small theater deep in the forest."

―Gear^[src]

Heartbeat Clocktower is a song released by Akuno-P on October 1, 2009 and later uploaded with a PV on April 25, 2010. It is the fifth song in the Clockwork Lullaby Series, describing the experiences of Gear in Evil's Theater.

Plot

The song concerns the guardian of the titular clocktower, whose role it is to keep the gears going to keep the Clockworker's Doll alive; he muses about the tower's previous master, the embodiment of Greed, had brought himself to ruin and left only the doll behind with burn marks. After the text describes the "Collector" who created a theater for his "collectibles", Gear watches the Master of the Graveyard and the pretentious servant girl going about their daily activities; the PV notes how the tower seemed to come alive singing one day.

The bloodstained scissors and the purple sword remain dormant among the vessels of sin, Utopia still unable to be created. Realizing that the clock has broken down and that the Doll's time is running short, Gear takes out his heart and sacrifices himself to power the clocktower in fulfillment of his role. At the end of the PV, the text describes how the one who built the theater loved the Clockwork Doll the most, saying that someone has the leading part.

Lyrics

時計塔の　歯車の音
それは彼女が生きている証
この秒針が止まらぬように
見守るのが「僕」の役目

かつての主人　物欲の化身
自らの罪は　いつの日か
おのれ自身を滅ぼすのだと
どうして早く気付けなかったか

彼女の半身に今も残る　醜い火傷の跡は
あの二人の思い出を刻んでる

今日もまた　迷い込んだ
何も知らぬ哀れな訪問者
彼らもすぐ「墓場の主」の
胃袋に収まることだろう

主役気取りの　あの「女の子」
いつも通りのわがまま三昧
「片割れ」を失ったさみしさ
少し顔に宿しながら

孤独な男がその死の間際に作り上げた
森の奥の小さな映画館
忘れ去られたその時に鳴り始めた
ぜんまい仕掛けの子守唄

「血染めの鋏」　「紫色の刀」
いまだ目覚めぬ彼らを待つ日々
全ての唄が語られたときに
理想郷（ユートピア）は完成するらしい

時計の針が　止まることは
彼女自身の終わりを意味する
錆ついて欠けた歯車達
残された時間は長くない

孤独な男がその死の間際に作り上げた
森の奥の小さな映画館
館長を務めるのは彼が最も愛した
「ぜんまい仕掛けの人形」

覚悟は決めた
僕は自らの左胸に
そっと手を当て深く差しこんだ…

僕のぜんまいは時計塔の歯車と
響き合って　そして新たに始まる物語
時計の針が止まらぬように
廻り続けるのが僕の役目

The sound of the clocktower’s gears
That is the proof she’s alive
So that this second hand doesn’t stop
Watching over it is “my” role

The former master, a personification of greed
Why couldn’t he notice sooner
That his own sin would ruin himself
One of these days?

The ugly burn marks that remain on half of her body even now
Etch those two’s memories

Today again there are lost
Pitiful visitors who don’t know anything
Before long they’ll probably be delivered
Into the “Master of the Graveyard”’s stomach

That “girl” pretending to be the lead role
As usual is absorbing herself in selfishness
While the loneliness of having lost her “counterpart”
Shows a little on her face

Just before his death a solitary man created
That small theater deep in the forest
In that time when it was left behind, it began to ring out
The clockwork lullaby

“Bloodstained scissors”, “Violet katana”
The days we wait for those who have yet to wake
When all the songs have been recited
It appears Utopia will complete

The clock hand stopping
Means the end of herself
The time left in the rusted and chipped gears
Isn’t long

Just before his death a solitary man created
A small theater deep in the forest
The one acting as curator is the one he loved most
“The Clockwork Doll”

Resolving myself
I gently placed my hand
Into my own left breast and reached in deeply…

My spring resounds with the gears of the clocktower
And the story begins anew
So that the clock hands don’t stop
Continuing to turn is my role

PV Text

孤独な男「収集家」(コレクター)
彼が死の間際に作り上げたのは
小さな小さな映画館

上映される作品はただ一つ
彼の「収集品」を紹介する記録映画のみ

森の奥にあるその映画館が
誰からも忘れ去られた時

動き出すぜんまい
鳴り響く歌声

「収集品」達は自らの手で
新しい物語を作りはじめる

Superbia
Gula
Invidia
Luxuria
Avartia
Acedia
Ira

Graveyard Court
Hellish Yard Heavenly Yard

小さな小さな映画館
館長を務めるのは
彼が生前最も愛した
「ぜんまい仕掛けの人形」

そして主演は・・・

A solitary man, the ‘Collector’
Created just before his death
A small, small theater.

There was only one work that he screened
Just a documentary introducing his “collection”

When that theater inside the forest
Was completely forgotten by everyone

The springs start to move
A singing voice rings out

The “collection” pieces, with their own hands
Begin to make a new story

Pride
Gluttony
Envy
Lust
Greed
Sloth
Wrath

Graveyard Court
Hellish Yard Heavenly Yard

In the small, small theatre
The one acting as curator,
Is the one he loved most in his lifetime,
“The Clockwork Doll”

And the lead role is…

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin

The song's title alludes to Gear's sacrifice of connecting his heart to the clocktower, letting his heartbeat power it and keep the Clockworker's Doll alive.
The song shares a motif with Miniature Garden Girl.

Curiosities

During the song PV, the Seven Deadly Sins are represented by gears colored with the respective sin's color; the teal gear representing the Sloth spins at a slower pace than the others, while the one representing Wrath falls at the edge of the screen during the song's opening sequence.
The song was rearranged by mothy to promote the The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue, titled Handbeat Clocktower; the song's PV also uses imagery of the gear.
During the song's "Lu Li La" chorus, the images of the vessel owners followed by the Latin name for their respective sin appear translucent over Hänsel and Gretel; at the end of the sequence, the names of the Four Endings appear in the four corners of the song PV.
The seven vessel owners' order of appearance in the PV follows the release order of their respective songs.
In the Clockwork Lullaby album, Kiril Clockworker puzzles over Adam's assistance of Irina Clockworker, deciding to look into the relationship between the two.^[1]
