Mugen Loop ~teaser~

If you are satisfied with machine translation of B-T, that's your choice. You have free will to choose convenience over meaning, and those of us who were trying to create meaning also have free will to die in peace and leave this sick sad world behind and probably be much better off for having given the fuck up already. (Kind of joking about that... probably... it took a lot of effort to grow a whole carbon-based 3D body and we're stingy and don't want to give it up too soon. Oh shit, Cayce, corporeal you say? What's the world coming to? My dears, we're asking the same question.) 

But, in any case we'll tell you here and now that while GPT or Deepl might tell you what the "words" mean, no bot is ever going to tell you what the *song* means. If y'all wanna listen to AI music there's already plenty of it out there, you don't need B-T, go on, run along and play in the soup of "what if Kurt Cobain were still alive" and all that. That's fine. 

But for those of you who still want to listen to what five aging, tough-as-nails, sick-of-this-shit-but-still-here Japanese oyaji have to say about things like this so-called "life"... as a token of our good faith, here's our translation of "Mugen Loop" for y'all, without the kanji, romaji, or notes. Think of this as a trailer. We're working on the rest of Izora, and analysis articles, but it's going to take some more time. We'll publish the rest of the content as soon as we can. Thanks again for your support. As always, the English lyrics are singable in English.

Infinity Loop

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

Music: Imai Hisashi

You feel the south winds blow

They're beckoning to you

Full of a sweet perfume

Making you smile

Come, darling dance with me

At the edge of the soft waves

You know, I'd like to try

Stopping time now...

But partway through

My blissful dream-world

A flash then a flash of

Seeing you, dreaming of you

It makes me twitch my nose

Ineffable feeling

And yet then I forget

Every single scene

But still somehow

In my blissful dream-world

A shred then a shred of

Seeing you, dreaming of you

Infinite loop, ooh

The waves on the seashore glow

In the gloaming

Moon rising wet like the dew

Essence of beauty

To love is to become joy

In the gloaming

You flowing wet like the dew

Infinite loop, ooh...

A dream of you

Lulls me in slumber

A flash then a flash of

Seeing you, dreaming of you

Infinite loop, ooh

The waves on the seashore glow

In the gloaming

Moon flowing wet like the dew

Essence of beauty

To love is to be sorrow

In the gloaming

You rising wet like the dew

Infinite loop, ooh...

Infinite loop, ooh...

Forever, I love you

I always thought you were more interesting than GPT anyway. Would be happy to share some tinned military rations with you in a bunker on a post-apocalyptic beach in Rio if you feel so moved.)
