連れてくれる誰か

<。。。でも、おれはずうと待ってたからなあ。。。連れてくれる誰か>

I don't have the book here with me now but in "A game of you", it was said that Little boys dream of being third sons, tailors but not princes where little girls dream of being princesses, that some day they would be claimed by their real mothers and fathers in a kingdom where they were the princess.

I guess all girls have a wish to be swept off their feet, taken away from it all and never to again have to worry and care about anything in the world and perhaps that's just an element of social conditioning.

No matter how independent, mature, and self-sufficient I become, and no matter how increasingly my rational brain tells me I could never be happy if I didn't have challenging problems to solve at work, there's still a faint hope of that little girl in me somewhere that someday someone will just take me away from it all.

連れて行ってあげるよ。
望む通りにできるかどうかわからないけど、
やってみるよ。
飽きずに、絶えずに、いつまでも…

でも、おれを連れてくれる人はいるのかなぁ

I went back and watched the episode in which Fye says that, and in that context and tone it sounded like a deathwish. Which doesn't change anything, but just makes you think about life and what comes after.

The death wish is definitely a part of it, mixed in with the desire to be taken away to some place better. I can't speak to all little girls but as a child, between all the stories of afterlife, sometimes death just seemed like it'd be the better option.

It sounds less like you're dreaming about being a princess and more like you're wishing you'd win the lottery. :)

hmm.. that sounds good too but all the money in the world can't buy you magic, sadly enough.
