Traumerei shares the same name with a piano piece composed by Schumann, in English it means "dreaming".
(Since I dont understand Japanese and no one has translated it because it was just released yesterday, I can only guess from the instruments and the tone of Tsubaki's voice.)
The piano piece Traumerei is slow, almost melancholic, as if the composer wanted to escape the pain they were feeling but can only dream.
Comparing that to Rondo's, which is fast and sounds almost desperate, like a plea to escape and be freed into the dream world (paradise) they desire.
But, unlike Schumann's, they act upon it, they try to find way to escape, a way for them to fly away, and be freed.
Interesting thing to note, in the beginning of the music video it shows a white feather -- probably from a dove -- falling down.
Doves are known to symbolize peace, but since it's falling down, it might mean the dove died because there isn't any peace anymore.
Doves are also important in the Bible, while Noah and his family were in his ark, they sent out birds to try to find a hint of dry land, they sent out a crow and it never came back (it is implied that the crow was too busy eating the dead bodies of the people who drowned to come back), they sent out another bird and it didn't come back either, so as one final try, one last sign of hope, they sent out the dove and it came back with a single tree branch, a sign of dry land.
So I guess you could say, if the dove, a sign of hope and peace, were to die, there would be desperate people stuck in a world of chaos and hopelessness.
But that's probably nothing, I just remembered that right now, might as well give you a bird fact.
Anyway, back to Schumann and Rondo!
Schumann's sounds like someone dreaming of a world they want to escape to, while Rondo's sounds like they dreamed of a world, and are willing to do anything it took to reach it.
