Sound Tripping (Week 1)

I've decided to make a weekly Sound Trip Post. Let's hope they last :P

I've been humming (and sometimes singing) a tune out of nowhere quite recently :P Estelle said she thought it was familiar so amma post it here for no apparent reason. I think i posted the same video on my LJ once. It's a pretty old song by the Techno-Jpop group Perfume (the same group that sang Edge a few posts back)

I love this song because it's so post-apocalyptic earth without trying to sound too deep and serious, and the techno feel just tops it off wonderfully. You'd think that after listening to all that bubblegum JPop that the lyrics rarely contain anything deep in them, but you'd be surprised.

The translations below are just rough translations. Meaning I translated them to the best of my ability (which is semi-non-existent). So please correct any mistranslations you see or encounter :P

Running on this road that goes on and on and on It should have been on the map, yet I still can't find the city Turning around to look at that place, I see it changing This world is our last, the last, the very last Electro World The ground shakes and breaks, And the sun in the sky has fallen into my hands The absolute truth has been realized I'll send the world's schematics(?) to you in a letter A cat wanders the city, but somehow it navigates the sky instead Even if you exist, reality doesn't. I can see everything I can feel everything Even if reality doesn't exist, I certainly still exist. Running on this road that goes on and on and on It should have been on the map, yet I still can't find the city Turning around to look at that place, I see it changing This world is our last, the last, the very last Electro World The ground shakes and breaks, And the sun in the sky has fallen into my hands Falling into my hands... Someone pushed the world's switch And very soon, it will disappear Electro World
