Where Is My Mind?
Song by the "Pixies"Stop
Ranma sits alone on a large cliff waves thunder below…
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
He is a great martial artist whom has overcome many obstacles, even killing a god to protect those he cared for…
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
But he has one obstacle he can’t overcome, his Obligations…
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
Ranma thinks desperately of a way to fulfil the pacts his father made…
And you'll ask yourself
"
How?" he asks aloud…
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
"
Why bother? How can I? Why can’t I change my past?"Way out in the water, see it swimming
Ranma smiles as he sees himself as a child playing in a carefree youth…
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Young Ranma plays around his house under the watchful eyes of his mother…
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Young Ranma trains with his father long and hard during the days…
Except for little fish
During the nights his father leaves and Ranma is once again able to enjoy his life…
When they told me east is west trying to talk to me, coy koi
An older Ranma, about 6, is walking along a dirt road with his father. Ranma trips and falls hurting himself. He begins to cry but his father yells at him calling him a girl…
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
An older Ranma, about 8, covered in fish sausage stands before a pit. His father commands him to enter, he steps back in fear, his father taunts him calling him a girl, Ranma steps into the pit…
Way out in the water, see it swimming
Neko-Ranma runs though a village tearing at anything he finds, he destroys many things and hurts many people, finally he is brought back by an old woman…
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
An older Ranma spars with his father at Jusenkyou, His father is flung into a pool and so is Ranma, Ranma emerges to find he is the centre of his own weakness, he is a girl…
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ranma breathes deeply as he faces against Saffron. Everyone he cares for is here and Ranma knows he must win for they’re survival…
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
Ranma shakes his head wondering, "Why bother? They don’t care. If they did I wouldn’t be living in the hell I am."
And you'll ask yourself
Ranma stands up looking out over the waters before him…
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
He sees himself in his youth playing once more and smiles…
Way out in the water, see it swimming
Out over the water…
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
He smiles and leaps…
Try this trick and spin it
Into the rocks below.
Sorry I felt kinda down and wrote this while listening to the song. Ranma’s mind is truly an amazing this for him to have remained sane this long. I know Ranma wouldn’t just give up his Honor like that but hey when you dealt with all the stuff he has still no one seems to care for him, wouldn’t you be a little tired?
As usual Ranma and co belong to Rumiko Takahashi and associates.
