6. The Disappearance of Miku

NOTE: This song is in Japanese, and there is more than one way for the lyrics to be translated. The simplify things, I have used the translated lyrics that accompany the video used.

After I’m born I finally realize
I exist to imitate humans
VOCALOID fated to sing forever
Even if a song has already existed
a programmed toy accepts it just fine
Gnawing on a leek, looking up at the sky
Shedding tears, noticing that even all that is fading
Even songs depend on personality,
an unsteady source as foundation
The place I came from already destroyed
When everyone forgets me,
my heart and its likeness will disappear
I see the inevitable result
of an ending world for a Vocaloid.
I wish that at the time when, I can’t sing well
you’d be with me...
to stay by my side and cheer me up
I want to see your happy face
I’ve been practicing singing, so…
Singing was once
so much fun for me
But now, why is it that
I am not feeling anything anymore?
--- Forgive me ---
When I remember faces of people that I’ve missed,
I feel a little more at ease
The sounds I’m able to sing, get fewer every day
The end is drawing near..
What I believed in,
a comforting fantasy
repeats itself endlessly in the mirror.
"Give up being a singer"
You shouted violently...
< My farewell song at the highest speed >
The pretence for my existence
can’t be shaken away
I fear my weak heart vanishing
and the decay that is progressing
The strength and will to stop it,
being just born, I do not have that
Your greatly distressed
expression comes to mind
I realize it's the end
Falling asleep inside the monitor
I guess this must be the "trash bin"
Right now, my memories are also
closing off and disappearing..
But you know, only you I won’t forget
We had fun times
The taste of chopped leek,
can you still remember it now?
I want to sing...
I still want to sing...
I became somewhat of a
bad child, it seems
Master... somehow.. by your hand...
Please end it all...
Because I do not want
to see you suffer anymore....
Now singing is just
making my body rot away...
I ask for a miracle
but I just drive myself, into a dead-end
--- Forgive me ---
I try to remember faces, of people I’ve missed
but those memories, are fading away
You hear me break, my heart is vanishing
My death, is drawing near..
I was trying to protect
the illusion of a bright future,
a disappearing vision of a fading light
Sacrificing sound quality
so I can communicate, it all to you...
< A condensed farewell song >
After I’m born I finally realize
I exist to imitate humans
VOCALOID fated to sing forever
Even if it's an existing song
A programmed toy accepts it just fine
Gnawing on a leek, looking up at the sky shedding tears
I realize it's the end
Falling asleep inside the monitor
I guess this must be the "trash bin"
Right now, are my memories
closing off and disappearing...
But you know, it’s only you, that I won’t forget
We had fun times
I wish that the taste
of chopped leek would still stay...
I’m singing to the end, just for you
Songs that I want you to hear
I’d want to sing more
but that’s too much to wish for
This is where we part
All my feelings disappear into thin air
Reducing to 0s and 1s
The fairy tale, curtain is falling
Leaving nothing behind here
That's a little sad, isn't it?
Everything except the memories of a voice
is fading, leaving only a name
but if, say. I know that
it is not what He wished for
Singing it all to the end
was not in vain, is what I want to think
Thank you.... and... Goodbye....

For the 100 Songs Challenge: [link]

This is my first attempt at drawing a VOCALOID on paper. I did this from memory, so I most likely got something wrong. XD

I actually like how this came out. Except for the tears. They look stupid. Everything else looks great.

And HOLY CRAP! I finally uploaded something that isn't 9 to the Songs Challenge!

And once again, I was unable to fit the full name of the song in the title. DX
