人々を救え!! [We Want To Save People!!]

by @prota_gonist

Liner Notes

This is the first track off of a concept album: "CODE: UV". The album tells the story of The UltraViolets, a team of young superheroes turned fugitive vigilantes as they confront a corrupt society and their place within it.

This is the "Theme Song" to an imaginary UltraViolets Anime Series, inspired by other Superhero Anime OPs. It is a #rock #otacore song with Japanese & English lyrics and #metal elements. High energy, fast-paced, heavy, short and sweet.

Lyrics

Minna wa [Terrorist] wo yondeiru,
Demo Bokura wa [Superhero] da- [Superhero]!

Bokura no shakai ni gaijin ni natta.
[When I look at society I see a place that hates me, a place that I do not belong]

Shoujikimono ga baka wo miru, ne?
[No good deed ever goes unpunished, but that doesn't mean that the good that strive for is wrong]

We want to save people.
[We want to break Free.]
We want to be Famous
[And sleep peacefully.]
We want to be human.
[We want to be Good.]
We want to save people!

TRANSLATION OF JAPANESE
(Courtesy my good friend and Discord user [kitsunekimchi])

Everyone calls us Terrorists,
But we are Superheroes- Superheroes!

We became foreigners in our own society.

An honest person sees stupidity, huh? (Idiomatic; roughly means "Honest people have a terrible experience, while cunning people gain benefits")

@kembole Oh no, my secret shame!! 😅

Yeah you caught me, I'm a lot less confident in my voice than in my instrumentals or songwriting. I'll be more cognizant of not letting that result in muddy 'verbed out vocals next time. 🤘

This was fun! Subscribing for the next one! If there is something to improve, just be brave and trust your vocals are good enough without drowning them and everything else in reverb. :)

I couldn't remember this during FAWM. And I'm friends with my otakus and metalheads. The riff is so catchy, you completely nailed the j-rock influence. Sugoi desu ne!
