[UTAU Original] The Ego Death of a Car Battery (feat. Meaty-chan)

#meatychan This winter, my car battery wasn’t so happy. It kept dying on me repeatedly, I kept procrastinating getting a new one and then ended up killing the battery completely. I bought a new one now, but my bank account still hurts. But hey! I love writing songs about stuff that happens to me, so here is a song about my car battery dying (based on a true story). I hope you enjoy it, I think I got really creative with the instrumental, this UTAU is really fun to use! I think my favorite part about this song is that it is literal. Sure, you can argue that the lyrics could be a metaphor for love or burnout, but I was being literal! I find it interesting that people try to assign different meanings to this. Sorry if the MV is a little lazy! I am a little busy with school and rushed to make this :) Available on streaming services soon! :) Credits: Music: Mm2x2 UTAU: Meaty-chan by Jasputing Art: Webz https://www.instagram.com/webziez?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Lyrics: 寒い朝、車のキーを回した…寒い朝 (Samui asa, kuruma no kii o mawashita... samui asa) "On a cold morning, I turned the car key... a cold morning." 「え？まさか…バッテリーが死んだ？」 ("E? Masaka... batterii ga shinda?") "'Huh? No way... is the battery dead?'" なんてツいてないんだ、私って (Nante tsuitenai n da, watashi tte) "How unlucky I am." ジャンプで助けた、でもまた繰り返す (Janpu de tasuketa, demo mata kurikaesu) "I jump-started it, but it happened again." 「ラッキーだね、ほんと」 ("Rakkii da ne, honto") "'How lucky, really.'" Maybe, just maybe, I can hold onto it for a bit longer No need for a new one 「もっと運転すれば、大丈夫かな」 ("Motto unten sureba, daijoubu kana") "'If I drive it more often, maybe it’ll be fine.'" でもまずはジャンプ (Demo mazu wa janpu) "But first, a jump start." エンジンかかれば、交換するって誓う (Enjin kakareba, koukan suru tte chikau) "If the engine starts, I swear I’ll replace it!" 自分に言い聞かせて、キーを回した (Jibun ni iikikasete, kii o mawashita) "I told myself, turning the key again." "as I break my promise..." バッテリーは、あと何回ジャンプに耐える？ (Batterii wa, ato nankai janpu ni taeru?) "Will my battery last a few more jumps?" バッテリーは、もうどれくらい持つの？ (Batterii wa, mou dore kurai motsu no?) "Will my battery last long enough?" 繰り返すたび、弱くなる音 (Kurikaesu tabi, yowaku naru oto) "With each jump, the sound grows weaker," まだ信じたい、"it will be okay" (Mada shinjitai, "it will be okay") "I still want to believe, 'it will be okay.'" ジャンプして、ジャンプして、蘇らせて！ (Janpu shite, janpu shite, yomigaerasete!) "Jump it, jump it, revive it!" 何度でも、何度でも、繰り返して (Nando demo, nando demo, kurikaeshite) "Over and over, over and over again!" 動き出せ、動き出せ、I am already late！蘇れ、蘇れ！繰り返して (Ugokidase, ugokidase, I am already late! Yomigare yomigare! Kurikaeshite) "Start moving, start moving, I am already late! Revive, revive! Over and over again!" 寒い夜、車を放置した (Samui yoru, kuruma o houchi shita) "On a cold night, I left the car alone." 新しいバッテリー、買わずにいた (Atarashii batterii, kawazu ni ita) "I didn’t buy a new battery, I just let it be." 「また大丈夫」って、自分に言い聞かせて ("Mata daijoubu" tte, jibun ni iikikasete) "'It’ll be fine again,' I told myself," でも心の奥で、後悔が広がる (Demo kokoro no oku de, koukai ga hirogaru) "But deep inside, regret began to grow." もうジャンプでも、エンジンは動かない (Mou janpu demo, enjin wa ugokanai) "Now, even with a jump, the engine won’t start." 完全に死んで、蘇ることはない、won’t hold a charge (Kanzen ni shinde, yomigaeru koto wa nai, won’t hold a charge) "It’s completely dead, beyond revival, won’t hold a charge." 寒さに負けて、バッテリーは消えた (Samusa ni makete, batterii wa kieta) "Defeated by the cold, the battery is gone." 僕の過ちが、また繰り返す (Boku no ayamachi ga, mata kurikaesu) "My mistakes keep repeating themselves." この状況は、僕のせいだ (Kono joukyou wa, boku no sei da) "This situation is my fault." 自分で招いた、この結末 (Jibun de maneita, kono ketsumatsu) "I brought this ending upon myself." I put myself in this situation! もう後戻りはできない (Mou atomodori wa dekinai) "There’s no turning back now." もう後戻りはできない (Mou atomodori wa dekinai) "There’s no turning back now." 「まだ、諦めない」 ("Mada, akiramenai") "'I’m not giving up yet.'" 新しいバッテリー、ようやく買った (Atarashii batterii, youyaku katta) "Finally, I bought a new battery." 友達と一緒に、車の前に立った (Tomodachi to issho ni, kuruma no mae ni tatta) "With my friend, I stood in front of the car." 工具を手に取り、作業を始めた (Kougu o te ni totori, sagyou o hajimeta) "Tools in hand, we started the work," その時、友達がびっくりして、こう言った (Sono toki, tomodachi ga bikkuri shite, kou itta) "That’s when my friend got startled and said," 「バッテリーに触ってる間、車をいじるなよ！」 ("Batterii ni sawatteru aida, kuruma o ijiru na yo!") "'Don’t touch the car while my hands are on the battery!'" バッテリーが動いた！奇跡みたい (Batterii ga ugoita! Kiseki mitai) "The battery worked! It’s like a miracle." 学んだ、次はきっと (Mananda, tsugi wa kitto) "I learnt, next time for sure..." Maybe, just maybe, I can hold onto it for a bit longer No need for a new one
