隨著"Ghost in the shell"動畫的誕生，
讓我見識到了菅野洋子這號人物；
另一個偉大的音樂創作鬼才。
我想她在我心目中的地位大概已經超越了久石壤吧！

Liveing Inside The Shell
Music: Kanno Youko
Lyrics: Shanti Snyder
Roaming inbetween the worlds of sleep and awake
Seems so far away from where I've been and untrue but unafraid
Intrusting -- my soul -- I know I must be taken to see the world that is
Not so far from now
迷失在夢幻與現實的夾縫中
感覺正在離開自己的場所，感到不安
但是不害怕，相信靈魂
隨著指引前進，為了看見不久的未來
Imaginations come and sweep the shores of my mind
Letting it be, visions pass, and emotions arise--
Letting them go, and beyond are doors I've never seen, opening one by one
想像打著波浪
影像隨波逐流，澎湃的情感
放開手，沒看過的門扉，在面前一扇扇地開啟
(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)
I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me
Look inside, see the light now ever holding you
All the truth is all you need to make of your reality, its right here
Look deep within your shell
[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]
*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚
看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒
這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西
一切都在這裡，在自己的深殼中尋找
Finding out a galaxy of planets and stars within me
Listening to each of them singing the same silent melody I've never seen such beauty in possibility -- no speck of doubt or fear
在自己的內心找到銀河，行星與星星
每一個都擁唱著相同的寧靜旋律
從未感覺過如此美麗的可能性，沒有絲毫的疑慮與恐懼
(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)
I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me
I see inside, see the light now ever holding me
All the truth, all I need to make of this reality it's -- beauty within the shell
[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]
聽見聲音，聽見呼喚
看得見，現在圍繞著我的內側光芒
這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西
這就是沉睡於殼中的美麗
(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)
I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me
I see inside, see the light now ever holding me
All the truth, all I need to make of this reality, it's inside
Right here within this shell
[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]
*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚
看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒
這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西
一切都在這裡，在自己的深殼中尋找
The sandglass starts for another time's beginning from within
Cotton fields, mama's arms are gently unfolding me into the new...
沙漏從內側開始計算著新的世界的開始
棉田、母親的手腕，溫柔地將我送進新的世界
(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)
[Reading]
Here from behind my sight, my thoughts my mind
Show from the light
The time is right
And from the depth within show the balance
Of outer and inner harmony
Mind and heart, soul and spirit undivided
Here's where the true strength and beauty lies
We'll see this before us with our own eyes
We'll see, with our own eyes... LOVE
[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]

*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚
看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒
這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西
一切都在這裡，在這個殼中
