Vocaloid Song Review #5

WILDFIRE!! (Gumi English)

Lyrics:

It's above one hundred Fahrenheit

I can't tell if it's day or if it's night

It's burning unbelievably bright

I'm blinded by these flashing lights

my lungs are failing from inhaling

all the charcoal from this circle

of the hate and the lies

God, how dare you

It's unfair you

deny, ignite and

close your eyes

You think by now

That I would have learned

Not to play with fire

if I don't wanna get burned

But I'm a pyromaniac

And your veins are full of gas

you're burning higher, higher

I'm storming this wildfire

I am immune (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

I'm fire proof (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

One look at your face

brings down the human race

to their knees, to their knees

begging please, spare mercy

Then there's somebody

As charred and burnt as me

on their knees, on their knees

begging "more gasoline"

my lungs are failing from inhaling

all the charcoal from this circle

of the hate and the lies

God, how dare you

It's unfair you

deny, ignite and

close your eyes

You think by now

That I would have learned

Not to play with fire

if I don't wanna get burned

But I'm a pyromaniac

And your veins are full of gas

you're burning higher, higher

I'm storming this wildfire

I am immune (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

I'm fire proof (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

Strike a match and watch it burn

You set the world ablaze

But I'm the one that you blame

Fuel the flames and watch me burn

'Cause you have branded me, scorched me

Burnt every inch of me

Strike a match and watch it burn

I'll set the world ablaze

Since it's this game that you play

Fuel the flames of the pyre

And I will burn higher, burn brighter

fight fire with fire

You think by now

That I would have learned

Not to play with fire

if I don't wanna get burned

But I'm a pyromaniac

And your veins are full of gas

you're burning higher, higher

I'm storming this wildfire

I am immune (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

I'm fire proof (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

I am immune (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

I'm fire proof (WILDFIRE)

Because of you (WILDFIRE)

Interestingly enough, the background of this song was about "someone tearing apart a former love, using metaphors involving fire." And here I thought that it was just about some deranged girl who seems to be enjoying the end of the world. I guess I haven't been searching father into this, haven't I? I've also been getting into english vocaloids more. I guess there is always something deep in a song.

My theory is that since this is about someone getting over a breakup, the girl is saying that she's tougher to the point that she's 'immune'. Though that's not the case. The girl had already turned crazy saying that she's already a pyromaniac just explains it. She may have the unquenchable thirst to burn her ex to death or is hallucinating. The probability of hallucination could be a fact. as there was a part where she said that the fire was all around her. She was burning the earth bringing the book of Revelations into action. She also said that she met someone as crazy as her so maybe it's another person trying to get over break up? It's very vague.

Another possibility is that she burned his house down and created the illusion that she's burning the entire world just for the heck of it. But how should I know? that's just a theory, a song theory! thanks for reading! (Totally not from The Game Theorists #sarcasm*wink*wink)
