The album art for the Knightmare/Frame single

Knightmare/Frame is the 4th track on Area 11's debut album All The Lights In The Sky. It was originally released on the 11th of February 2012 as a Single, along with 3 b-sides. The single was a limited release and was taken down before the release of ATLITS; however, it appears have been put back on Spotify, Bandcamp, and iTunes  (although these releases seem to be missing the instrumental version).

About

Area 11 - Knightmare Frame

It is believed Knightmare/Frame is from the point of view of Lelouch in the first verse and from Suzaku Kururugi's point of view in the 2nd verse while the chorus can be seen from both points of view, on a base level at least.

When asking Parv who's point of view K/F was from he refused to answer and said it was interesting when we said it was about Code Geass. This may suggest there's another persons point if view its from. The Speaker? Cassandra?

The Japanese lyrics in Knightmare/Frame "Watashi to issho ni kite kudasai!" effectively mean "Come with me, please!", while "Ichiban" means "first".

Area 11 -「Knightmare Frame」【2012 Version】【Audiosurf】

Knightmare/Frame from the original 2012 release

What is life but a burden for me?

It comes alive as I try to sleep
All this anger
Burning inside, but buried deep
Watashi to issho ni kite kudasai!
Ichiban, Zero
One step forward and two to the side
Every single time

I fall asleep and I feel I'm falling
Nightmare comes without warning
<PATRICIDE!>
I can't seem to sleep
<THE GUILT INSIDE>
I can't stay awake
In my dreams I feel I'm running
Towards her shining light
Cocooned in steel as you fall away

She shines for me, she shines for me

Just like glass I saw right through
Something I couldn't see, something I couldn't see
Until I changed my point of view
Inside a machine, inside a machine,
I cannot let you go

Inside of me, inside of me
The will to change the world

Can a mask be the face of reason,
Eye to eye with a loaded mind,
You will answer
To the pieces left behind
Well I watched her die, in your arms
Zero, ZERO!
So kill a king with a sleight of hand
Freed but they'll never understand

I fall asleep and I feel I'm falling
Nightmare comes without warning
<PATRICIDE!>
I can't seem to sleep
<THE GUILT INSIDE>
I can't stay awake

In my dreams I feel I'm running
Towards her shining light
Cocooned in steel as you fall
As you fall asleep

(I can't seem to sleep)

She shines for me, she shines for me
Just like glass, she's just like glass

She shines for me, she shines for me
Just like glass I saw right through
Something I couldn't see, something I couldn't see
Until I changed my point of view
Inside a machine, inside a machine,
I cannot let you go
Inside of me, inside of me
The will to change the world
