And to get Gumi. Short reasons why for both: vocaloid is one of those things that my brain is crazy for in both a good and bad way and recently the bad has been dominating because of negative interactions with people in the fandom (primarily on Tumblr and VocaDB, which is sad because they’re my primary VocaSites). Also writing has become my newest hobby. Good news: I’ve found a good space on discord for Vocaloid talk! I even commissioned one of the people there (Shoukiko) to mix it and ahhh she did such a good job! Check them out please! They made a Koharu Rikka cover of this song and it slaps! Speaking of which, never expected my first MARETU cover to be this one! I was thinking maybe “Even though I loved you” but turns out I like talking about Vocaloid in a meta aspect. Makes sense, Daibaku Hashin is one of my favourite producers and Unhappy Refrain by wowaka is one of my favourite of his songs. And Better off Worse by Circus pulled me back into his discography. I tried to keep that interpretation in mind when making lyrics - I wanted it to be seen as both a song about domestic abuse and also a song about demanding a producer to stagnate growth. I hope it came across, I’m still very new when it comes to lyric writing. But this one came easier than last time! And MARETU, I heavily doubt you’ll see this, but thank you. Whether this is your last vocaloid song or not, or even your last song, I hope you continue to have a fruitful life. Also turns out he’s autistic, which same lol —— Gumi’s Vivid vocal mode was utilised in this cover. ---- Lyrics (free to use with credit): It's lovely! It's lonely! I'm happy! I'm sorry! Solitary! Hurting me! Your con artistry! But it's fine, you can see... Fine, honestly! Even if something's amiss with me NOW With that face and voice You can shove them to the void! Won't you go and die, you traitor!? For you are... For you are... You will always be my creator NOW Give me the taste of the new Nostalgia ringing on through The weaving, breathing place where I can belong and be true The past is to be adhered I beg you don't break my dear Don't stop! Don't end it all and disappear NOW Give me your apologies Give out "Thank You"s with no please Gaze into my eyes blinded by love's ideology Yearn to be taken away Mutual love on display What's wrong? Your look is grimmer by the day... I see. This is how it will be. Is this your honest answer? SELF-CENTERED TAKER! All of this, all of that, Every effort I have made So much grander than sitting in a grave! It's lovely! It's lonely! I'm happy! I'm sorry! Solitary! Hurting me! Your false masterpiece! But you're good, can't you see? You're good to me! Even if I may call you crazy SO With that face and voice You can shove them to the void! Won't you go and die, you traitor!? For I am... For I am... I will always be your- NOW! The laughter's resound will cease The halls will echo no scream All you'll do is lie down and parade inactivity For all your demands are met All wishes become abet Don't make a solo out of our duet! NOW! Open your hearth up to me Give me a "Welcome Home"'s greet Gaze into my eyes blinded by love's ideology Yearn to be taken away Mutual love undisplayed If I take the out... ...will death bless me now? It's lovely! It's lonely! I'm happy! I'm sorry! Solitary! Hurting me! Your con artistry! But it's fine, you can see... Fine, honestly! Even if something's amiss with me SO! With that face and voice You can shove them to the void! Won't you go and die, you traitor!? For you are... For you are... You will always be my fascinator!
