Brohnos, I've been wanting to share this forever. Always kept forgetting.
So yeah, there's this band from Japan named 凛として時雨, which, depending on the romanization, means "Rin Toshite Shigure" or "Lin Tosite Sigure". I prefer the former because it's, I dunno, sharper and less stupid-sounding. You might have heard of them at some point (might not have).
Anyway, these guys put out an EP in I think it was like, 2009, called Feeling Your UFO, and I was looking over the lyrics, and it struck me that the first two tracks depict 2D love in a pretty direct way, or at least can be read that way. I never really cared about what they were saying, but now that I know the lyrics, it's that much more better to me. In checking this out, I found out they have very oblique lyrics and often utilize Engl[r]ish a lot, for...some reason. The original translator might have gotten the lyrics way off and can't tell, but this is what he interpreted it as.
Oh, the vocals are hard to get past for some people. I don't really mind them, but that's me. The actual music greatly makes up for it.
The first track is called "Souzou no Security" (the featured song), which translates to "Imagination Security". I like that, like a waifu - A security in your imagination, you know? The central part of the song apparently translates to "Imagination security, you're in a game sensation; Are you tempting me? Are you a hallucination?; You hallucinate the world in the fiction you sing; The fiction disappearing in space hallucinates the two of us; Now these words are being seen somewhere; Now it's like this world was seen somewhere". Reading into those, it struck me that he's saying something like the fiction he loves sort of tempts him, etc.
The second track is my favorite, "Kankaku UFO" ["Feeling Your UFO"]. This one like, this one resonated with me, as corny as that sounds. The first verse was translated as: "Ahh, something is born in time, there's someone together with me inside myself; Ahh, I'm broken in time, Ahh, there's someone together with me inside my body; Ahh, I'm trembling in time, Ahh, there's someone together with me inside myself", which instantly made me envision a waifu.
That's how I'd like to see it - Makes the band a little special to me.
