revoltech

revoltech

Vocals: IZNA
Lyrics: IZNA
Arranged by: NSY
Album: revoltech [Official site]
Circle: 東方事変 (Touhou Jihen)
Event: Reitaisai 13 [RTS13]
Original theme: Mysterious Purification Rod [不思議なお祓い棒]

Apparently, ‘revoltech’ refers to a line of action figures that are known for their revolver joints. The word appears to combine ‘revolver’ and ‘technology.’ And hey, would you look at that – Kagerou is holding a revolver in the album art.

This track also appears in Touhou Jihen’s third album… but it’s called ‘revolteach.’ When I think of Touhou Jihen, this is the song I think of – it just encapsulates NSY’s new sound. The song itself seems to be about heartbreak. I feel like the speaker has had her heart broken by a guy, and she’s off to confront him with a gun.

Also, the parts separated by a slash [/] are sung by someone different. I think it might be NSY himself.

歌詞

at first　この喉が枯れる前に
夢を見させて遠くなら何処へでも
酔わせてよ忘れさせて　3.2.1　0

最新のブローニング　奥に忍ばせて／叶うなら
失態よ蒸発　飛んだ例の商談は
愛なんて冗談　うんざりしてんだ／もう一度
本能の銃弾　装弾数を聞かせて

泣いておゆき今宵は嘘も過去も
その涙で薄めさせて
地人様(ひとさま)と比べても虚しいだけ
捕らぬ狸の何とやら
ちょっとハズした御冗談(ジョーキン)

最新のブローニング　奥に忍ばせて／叶うなら
失態よ蒸発　飛んだ例の商談は
定例の哨戒　皆いい子にしてな／もう一度
誘惑もう挑発　その手に乗るか

「どうせ」なんて嘆いても寂しいんでしょう？
突っ張れど似た者同士
今日はやけに痛いな真実

こんなに感情が疼くなら神経を司るバイパス切って

second　この頰が渇く前に
夢を見させて遠くなら何処へでも
打ち抜けよヒトオモイに　3.2.1　0

最愛のダーリン　一層見逃して
光栄よ “Loser”　なんて顔してんだ／もう二度と

最新のブローニング　奥に忍ばせて／叶うなら
失態よ蒸発　飛んだ例の商談は／然樣なら
愛なんて冗談　もう択山／取るに足らぬ真実
光栄よ “Loser”　もう二度と…／本の些細な嘘を

見逃して

愛なんて冗談　もう択山

Translation

At first – Before my throat dries out,
make me dream. I’ll go anywhere if it’s far away.
Intoxicate me. Make me forget. 3, 2, 1, 0.

I conceal the latest Browning gun inside. / If my wish comes true.
I want my disgrace to disappear! Our negotiations took off.
Love’s a joke. I’m so fed up! / Once more.
I’ll tell you how many bullets of instinct I have…

Please cry. Tonight, dilute lies and the past
with those tears of yours.
Comparisons with other people are useless.
It’s like counting tanuki before, well, you know… (1)
That joke missed the mark a bit.

I conceal the latest Browning gun inside. / If my wish comes true.
I want my disgrace to disappear! Our negotiations took off.
The regular patrol is passing by. Be nice, everyone! / Once more
Your seduction has aroused me already. Shall I be taken in…?

“Anyway…” Though I sigh, I’m lonely, aren’t I?
We’re alike, though we’re both obstinate.
Today, I face a frightfully painful truth.

If my feelings ache so much, then I’ll cut the bypass ruling my nerves.

Second. Before my cheeks begin to thirst for tears,
make me dream. I’ll go anywhere if it’s far away.
Pierce me resolutely! 3, 2, 1, 0.

My beloved darling, turn a blind eye to me…
It’s an honour, loser! Just look at yourself. / Once more.

I conceal the latest Browning gun inside. / If my wish comes true.
I want my disgrace to disappear! Our negotiations took off. / If it is so.
Love’s a joke. I’ve had enough! / An inconsequential truth.
It’s an honour, loser! Never again… / Just a trivial lie.

Turn a blind eye…

Love’s a joke. I’ve had enough…

Translator’s note
