Considering how much Inspiration Utena draws from Demian, it's no surprise a few of the songs have Abraxas in the title. And we get this song during the "smash the world's shell speech" which is similar to a famous line in Demian: "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God’s name is Abraxas.”
@@andreafomasidirector the best I can describe it is that It’s a “buildingsroman” novella (aka one about adolescence and maturing through metaphors and story structure) about a guy and his experiences in life and at school, making bad decisions and then questioning the people and power structures that make it so.
@@andreafomasidirector Demian is a novella written by German author Hermann Hesse. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demian It's where the chick and egg shell monologue comes from. It's also where the title of this song comes from.

Demian is so good. If you like Utena you’ll like the book.
Utena has an amazing soundtrack.
卵の殻を破らねば、雛鳥は生まれずに死んでいく。我らが雛で、卵は世界だ。世界の殻を破らねば、我らは生まれずに死んでいく。世界の殻を破壊せよ。世界を革命するために。
