Top Comments of this video!! :3
Porter has said that the song was supposed to be about a human boy falling in love with a robot girl. The rest is up to interpretation but I think it's how the Boy awakened this robotic girl and taught her real emotions, and when he passes away (because he is a human) she goes into a sleep and thus the lyrics "You've awakened her again" meaning every time he is reborn, he finds her.. When they sing though "I'll go alone. And never speak of you again" I think that means every period of time when her lover has died she will go into a deep sleep until he returns.
*Edit - I've listened to Goodbye To A World a couple times and I think its possibly the prequel (or could be a sequel ) because the vocaloid sings
Thank you, I'll say goodbye soon,
Though its the end of the world,
Don't blame yourself now
And if its true,
I will surround you and give life to a world
That's our own
At the end of that song it sounds as if the robot is shutting down. In the beginning of this song she sings "Is anyone there? Who survived? Somebody new? (possibly him reborn a new person) Anyone else but you? (this could be interpreted in a couple ways such as she doesn't realize it's him reborn and is hoping her lover is with him or now that he's been reborn she doesn't want to bombard him with weird ideas that he's been reborn, so she is just talking to him in a casual way and knows she has to make him fall in love with her again) On a lonely night was a blinding light (Him being reborn and her waking/ rebooting to a bright night sky )
Also skipping ahead when she says "And you can hear it in his voice in every call, this girl who's slept a hundred years has something after all" It could mean she can hear the reminiscence of the previous him breaking through in the way he speaks. For the hundred years part, it could mean every 100 years he is reborn.
Lastly, I believe since throughout this video a world is being generated as she moves alone, it is her waking up and discovering the new world that has been made and her venturing off to find her lover, and in the end when the hands grasp each other it portrays that they found each other once again.

This music just feels so otherworldy, magical. It feels like traversing different dimensions or something.
And it doesn't help that this was my favorite song when I was 10-11 years old. It's nostalgic to me now; i'm taken back to those summer nights where i'd be drawing ocs or writing up stories for them while talking to my friends through the phone about how our future will turn out or what we'll do in a zombie apocalypse. Or the car rides to school when the sky is purple, listening to this and imagining we're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with how empty the highways are.
It's escapism, i guess. I want to be a kid again, but now i'm in highschool and the world is becoming more bleak. I'm condemned to a boring life where most days are the same; work till you die and if you don't, risk being homeless. I want to escape from the world, but if i ignore reality, that'll make it harder for me. There's nothing magical anymore about purple skies, because that's just the reflection of the atmosphere as sunlight shines on it. There's nothing magical anymore about the future, because i know it'll all just go to shit. There's nothing magical anymore about the end of the world, because that would mean losing everything to violence or to a nuclear fallout, or to nature who's had enough of humans destroying it.
It still feels like the end of the world, just in a less magical way.
