Corvus

It may be a little morbid to start off the year with a song about crows. Crows are a symbol of death to many. However, crows can also be a symbol of life, mysteries, magic, and destiny.

The song I chose to start off the year was actually released a couple months ago. It's sang by a group dear to my heart, with only two remaining members. It's a little sad, but I love the solo activities by the Chinese members so far. I'm super excited for them, and also super excited for each member whether they are still in it or not.

Corvus is about happiness and satisfaction despite not having all the "golden" treasures in life. It's a little sad, but there's a lot of satisfaction. That's what I felt 2019 was like.

2019 was a better year than 2018. Let's see what I've actually accomplished from last year's resolutions.

My 2019 Resolutions:
  1. Apply to internship positions and follow up on them!!
  2. Complete the first arc of Yume Connection
  3. Raise my cumulative GPA to a 3.2
  4. Eat less sugar! Cavity prevention!
  5. Make new friends, but keep the old
  6. Draw a personal picture every single month
  7. CPAC can kiss my sweet ass with another successful run
  8. Lay down a couple of floor plans for Yume Connection (hand or digital)
  9. Write two blog entries every month
  10. Gain back some muscle and lose some fatttt
  11. Sleep earlier (Before 2 at least!)
  12. Be Happy

I've accomplished 3, 4, 7, and 12 (kinda).

Better than nothing right?!
I'm actually super proud to have accomplished 3.2 GPA before I graduate. In fact, last semester, I received the highest GPA I've ever received in college, with a 3.8 with 7 courses under my belt.

My 2020 Resolutions:
  1. Get a full time job that I like
  2. Finish planning out YC
  3. Graduate with a 3.2
  4. Plan out a senior trip.
  5. Have better living habits (cleaner room, eating habits)
  6. Be more social and comfortable socializing
  7. Stop being so frugal (doesn't mean stop being thrifty)
  8. Grow my artist presence
  9. Start drawing Yume Connnection
  10. Become more fit
  11. Sleep earlier (before 2)
  12. Be happy
A lot of repeats from 2019. 

But they are good resolutions to have, healthy habit changes.
And if you were wondering.

PS. This lyric translation will probably be presented to CG fans with better wording.


A crow’s『A crow’s village』

Nonsense creaks

The truth is too dazzling in the dark

What's real?What's good?

Enveloping the honest melodies

Where am I? Where are you?

If we flock within the distortion,
Fear will ease a little, but
“I feel like I’m disappearing”
No... Stay...

The light that slips through brings shadows but I still want to touch it
Yeah, hiding in the dust
Let the wind guide our wings
However I want to chase
Fly with me Corvus

Flapping wounded and stained wings
The dyed black color is discarded
Let me redo
Off into a sky where teardrops are concealed
Corvus. It's about me&you..

『A crow’s village』
Rubbish dreams
Has satisfied us despite being full of gaps
We live a dream?
Leaving the true nature for later
I'm no one, without you.

In an empty box
Within our dominated freedom 
We shined
Laughed at each other’s darkness
You said “I want to turn off the light”
NO…Stay Stay。
The evening of fate!
Don't go away!

The light that we yearn for, the succulence that escapes us
Searching for the mirage
Yeah, hiding like a virus
I’m ready even if it’s too far to go back
Cry for me Corvus
yeah
This is a story 'bout me' n u in
In the city where it’s standard for crows to grow hoarse
The sensational two sides of daily life
People who carries power in one-hand are also victims

Now, we can live in fantasy 
Contrary to destiny
Alchemize the corruption’s harvest
Someday we can turn'em into reality

To the wide open sky that charred my heart that day
Stay Stay
Evening of Fate!
Don't go away !!

The light that slips through brings shadows but I still want to touch it
Yeah, hiding in the dust
Let the wind guide our wings
However I want to chase
Fly with me Corvus

Singing the songs about regretting mistakes
Like a sunrise in the deep night
Let me undo 
Cawing with an exhausted and dried loud voice
Corvus. It's about me&you
『鳥街』
出鱈目がきしむ
真実は眩し過ぎて暗む
What's real?What's good?
本音の音色は飲み込んで
Where am I? Where are you?

歪みの中群れを成せば 
恐れは少し和らぐけど
君は「自分が消えてしまいそう」と...
No... Stay...

すり抜けた光影もたらすけど触れてたいよ
Yeah、hiding in the dust
広げた翼は風任せ
だけど追いかけていたいよ
Fly with me Corvus

傷を負って汚した羽根扇いで
黒く染まった色は捨てて
Let me redo
涙の粒が潜む空へ
Corvus. It's about me&you..

『鳥街』
我楽多の夢が
隙間だらけの僕らを満たした
We live a dream?
本質は後に回して
I'm no one, without you.

空の箱で
支配された自由のなかで
輝けてた
互いの闇を照らし合い笑った
君は「灯りを消したい」と...
NO…Stay Stay。
夕暮れる Fate!
Don't go away!

憧れた光逃げ行く蜜
気楼探してるよ
Yeah、hiding like a virus
遠く離れすぎて戻れなくて
も覚悟はしてるよ
Cry for me Corvus

yeah
、this is a story 'bout me' n u in
カラスが声枯らす都会じゃ定番の
日常の表裏描くセンセーション
権力片手の奴らも犠牲者

now, we can live in fantasy 
裏腹にdestiny
腐敗の実りアルケミーして
someday we can turn'em in 2 reality

あの日胸を焦がした大空へと
Stay Stay
夕暮れるFate!
Don't go away !!

すり抜けた光影もたらすけど触れてたいよ
Yeah、hiding in the dust
広げた翼は風任せ
だけど追いかけていたいよ
Fly with me Corvus 

過ちを悔やむ唄を嘆いて
深い夜に陽が昇るように
Let me undo 
疲弊して乾いた大声で鳴け
Corvus. It's about me&you
