Here are the English lyrics to the extended version of "Break Free", which is the introductory song to each episode. You can feel the action-oriented, "mecha" mood of the show as well as the despair of the situation. But there is always hope for the future, no matter how bad the situation!
BREAK FREE
Seeking out a single ray of light,
All I can do is wander on, no matter how far, through the darkness.
Clinging to a heart that is governed by sorrow. And yet
As I breathe a sigh not unlike surrender,
I don't want to fear how I've been hurt, all the time.
SET ME FREE NOW!
Come on, let it all go, to the far reaches of time,
From that which binds the soul!
FOR MY HEART BEAT!
Make freedom your weapon, and you are sure to attain it!
The power to believe and dream is there for you to go on living.
From deep within your breast, you try to call out, but
the cry reaches no one.
You have to keep on putting it into words!
These chains that we call fate bind us hand and feet, while you
Vaguely lament over the weaknesses you have now.
But unless you try to become strong, you'll never change!
SET YOU FREE NOW!
Come on, let it all go, while your heart beat runs hot,
From everything that stands in your way.
FOR YOUR HEARTBEAT!
Even more than memories, the future brightly shines,
To reunite you with the one you love more than any other.
Come on, let it all go, to the far reaches of
time,
From that which binds the soul!
FOR MY HEART BEAT!
Make freedom your weapon, and you are sure to attain it!
The power to believe and dream is there for you to go on living.

And here are the English lyrics to "Love Taught Me", which closes each episode. This slower song deals with the emotional side of the show, as Marlene's emotions begin to awaken as they continue their journey through a devastated Earth, and a relationship begins to develop.
LOVE TAUGHT ME
Although the days when we smiled again and again
Have passed away into dreams,
I will surely not lose my way.
The tenderness and pain that surely remain in my breast
I will embrace as long as I live.
To go to the future,
To become an adult,
I again recall now the memories twisting in my heart.
I'm living in one time, while chasing two dreams,
And love taught me what it means to cherish someone.
Even love at the beginning, the kind that shares
loneliness,
Brought with it happiness, no matter the times.
No matter how many times I stop,
No natter how many times I turn back,
I quietly realize you are no longer at my side.
Both my overflowing sadness, and the happiness I encounter,
Love taught me it all, to allow me to start walking again.
Take the fact that there was someone you thought of as
dearly as yourself,
And turn it to your own credit.
To go on to the future,
To become an adult,
I again recall now the memories twisting in my heart.
I'm living in one time, while chasing two dreams,
And love taught me what it means to cherish someone.
