    Lyrics:
    Can you feel the night?
    Would it be warm
    (It must be bright)
    Like a raging fire
    When the sky cries in April,
    the flowers and trees smile in May
    The time that passes tells me many lovely things
    But I can't feel it
    (Cut it out!)
    I flew high so that I could see everything
    (Cut it out!)
    I was on a roll
    I had to stop
    There is no up or down above the clouds
    And I can't breathe
    We're falling down.
    Slowly, like snow.
    Led by gravity
    Fading away in the warm glow
    Without resisting
    Let's take some strawberries and go to the hill
    If you want to see the fireworks, bring a cute scarf
    (The pictures in my head tell me a lot of stories)
    None of this is real
    (Cut it out!)
    I flew high so that I could see everything
    (Cut it out!)
    I was on a roll
    I had to stop
    There is no up or down above the clouds
    And I can't breathe
    We're falling down.
    Slowly, like snow.
    Led by gravity
    Fading away in the warm glow
    We lost the power to lose.
    By leaving all the pain
    Fading away in the warm glow
    We're falling down.
    Slowly, like snow.
    Led by gravity
    (Fading away in the warm glow)
    If I am to be swallowed by
    fate I must have fought well
    Praying that it will become a seed of (new life)

      I like the wordplay of this song. It starts of with lines about "living high" and keeps escalating the metaphor until we reach the lines " there is no up or down above the clouds and I can't breathe". Afterwards we have the line about "falling" building off of the previous metaphor and referring to the character dying.

    One thing I just noticed is that the guitar in the beginning is running through a rotospeaker effect which is created by putting a speaker on a rotating plate, which makes this kind of wobbly and distorted sound, which is very fitting for I-No, she's spinning around trying to solve the timeline, only to fail again and again, she spins and tumbles into the timeline without control and with no end in sight.

      The Gravity is like the exact inverse of this song too, poetically enough. Requiem is about how entropy is gonna kill us all and I-No feels nihilistic and hopeless knowing that, while The Gravity is about Asuka realizing after centuries of self-hatred that it really is possible to fight fate and win as long as you have the will to act and take the first step.

      You don't even have to change it. "Rolling" is a term used for enjoying MDMA. She was on a roll, then she had to stop.
      It also makes more sense for her background. I-no's biggest conflict is her inability to feel anything. Someone like that isn't going to develop a habit with an emotionally numbing substance, but with something that induces emotion. This whole story line might have been avoided if she got some MDMA, now that I think about it lol

    She’s a sexy witch that was made in the Backyard during the Crussades because everyone’s want for a better future all met at one point and formed into an entity with extreme power, which made her a god and half of the power was put into the person we now know as Happy Chaos? Well, as long as she’s sexy, I guess.
    I-No is such a great antagonist with such an interesting backstory, especially with the different realities between her and Axl. Not only is she great, but her theme is a rollercoaster of emotions. So somber, but confident that, now, we can strive for a better future the right way all because of her actions in Strive. Thank you, I-No. Certified bop.

      Its not really about Axl (well, it might be). So as you may know, I-no is a time traveler. In XRD its revealed that at some indeterminant point in the future Humanity will do "something" that will make then NOT humans anymore (according to I-no) and basically everything I-no has been doing was to prevent that future from happening. As far as we know she has not been successful. Also, I-no is kind of a sociopath in that she doesn't actually feel emotions (this it spelled out in the song from 0:30 - 0:42) which is why her methods are very callous.

      She goes to the ends of the multiverse to do this, changing minor and major events, getting Ky and Sol killed by luring them into danger during the Holy Crusades and abunch of other things, but the best she does is delay it.
      Her trying to become god in Strive is to do this specific thing. In this song, she is saying at the end that she hopes that, since all else has failed, her death will be the catalyst for a new bright future.
