『DEX』 Dokuhaku / ドクハク - MARETU 『VOCALOID English Cover』

okkkkkk oko kokokok cover time once again uwu I had trouble with getting the tempo right so I decided to borrow null's vsqx, I also hoped it would ease me back into doing covers lmaoo,, so it's here!! this was a request and I totally forgot this song existed whwhwh like I wrote lyrics for it a long time ago but I never worked on a cover at all, though I thought I did,, so I revamped the lyrics and during that I decided to investigate into the song's meaning because,, this song had always felt different to me from maretu's other songs. i had no idea why, maybe i felt it sounded influenced by something else (AHEM a specific character) or it just seemed like a different vibe because i could NEVER figure out the meaning of this song!! the verses, especially the very first lines, are so freaking vague and disconnected and so my first set of lyrics were jumbled bc i didn't understand it at all so if they still sound a lil jumbled that's why uwu but anyways i had an aha moment when i found out that this song is the main theme of a character named Luciano from a game called nnd compass!! he's an assassin with a dead wife who's coffin he carries on his back!! how epic I love him!! so keeping this in mind while still partially staying true to the original lyrics, i interpreted the song as him talking to himself and basically setting goals for himself to keep on going after his wife's death (hence why the english title is monologue or soliloquy). i also had his wife sing a bit too for the heck of it :p I just wanted to draw her she's so pretty wuuwuwe i will post the full illustrations on my instagram, which I have @'d if u scroll a bit down uwu 💕support me on patreon!💕 ➙ https://www.patreon.com/darlynn​ original song (MARETU): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCO9j_L894U VSQx (null): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0V5eop4QXc vocals: dex, gumi/megpoid_english translyrics, extra tuning, art: darlynn programs used: Vocaloid 4 Editor, KarmaFX, GComp, Audacity, FireAlpaca, Cyberlink Powerdirector 𝒮𝑜𝒸𝒾𝒶𝓁 𝑀𝑒𝒹𝒾𝒶! dA: new→ darlynn118 old→ kiku-salty-boy instagram: @darlynn_drawinn email: kikkubby@gmail.com lyrics: So bold, you thought you could hold this in a pretty mold But now the news is told How cold, emotion overload I act like I don’t know, don’t think I even know Controlled, my feelings on parole But not for long before I turn a vivid scroll Damned woe, carved into me and carried still deep in my soul (I do not seek I find) Surprise, I opened up my eyes Though torn out in a fight, looking mortified Oh my, impressive little lies rushed out upon your cries, rushed out although you’re dry This heat, I simply cannot beat Overcoming me, and reaching to my feet You cheat, I’ve underwent defeat There’s just no way out for me A will spread just to entice Though how’s it black as midnight? And what’s within those hidden eyes? Try loving just a little hint Before tomorrow and further days will be stolen from your reach Learn loving just a little bit Before tomorrow and all the following days tear apart and scream (I do not seek, I find) Compassionate, passive little shrews warped into something new, their minds have been imbrued Compassionate, coarse and twisted shrews Their lives have gone askew, I know this to be true No more than enemies I scorn Existence leaves me bored, I wish us never born Revolting truth I do abhor; Acceptance of these old sores A heart that’s strung up that high becomes a nuisance, hence why this rage has long-since set ablaze Try being praiseful, quietly So that tomorrow and further days are won, a possibility Learn being praiseful, quietly Before tomorrow and all the following days clog with all your blame (It seems I’m stepping in the days of which your cold shadow fell down, down) (It seems I’m holding all the rotten remnants left by your dead dreams now) This voice wailing in sorrow Crushed so thoroughly, I know No one could argue otherwise Lift all your weights off just a hint So that tomorrow and further days may somehow stay in your reach Brandish that thought, now fully Before tomorrow and all the following days tear apart and scream (It seems I’m stepping in the days of which your cold shadow fell down, down) (It seems I’m heaving all the rotten remnants left by your dead dreams now)
