【Touhou Lyrics】 Reverse Ideology
5,001Seija's theme. ...DON'T LISTEN TO THIS STUPID SONG!!! AND DON'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT SUPPORTING TOUHOU LYRICS ON PATREON!!! https://www.patreon.com/lyricalive
(...Eh? So, does it work? "Reverse ideology"?)
Honestly, I love this song, and this was the most fun I've ever had with a fandub. As an amanojaku, Seija makes the absolute most flawless Touhou antagonist, and her character is so ironically likable for such a pain-in-the-butt punk. VIVA LA YOUKAI REVOLUTION!!! I think these lyrics capture the rebellious spirit of both DDC and ISC; also, the "inch/mile" line is the cleverest thing ever, fight me.

Tell me your dreams and I’ll show you your nightmares~
Tell me to stop, and I’ll start over, start it again~
It’s what I ↑KNOW YOU THINK↑
Or what you ↓THINK YOU KNOW↓
You’ve got the whole world wrong—
I’ve got the proof to show.
The lie is in the ↑TRUTH.↑
The truth is in the ↓LIE↓
I’ll turn it all around—
Don’t need a reason why.
Your blessings are my ↑CURSE↑
My curses are your ↓GIFT↓
And with a simple twist,
I’m gonna cause a rift.
My curses are my ↑GIFT↑
Your blessings are your ↓CURSE↓
Take a familiar tune
And put it in reverse: »
Tell me your dreams and I’ll show you your nightmares~
(…yʜqoƨoliʜq ym ƨ’ƚɒʜƚ) «
Tell me to stop, and I’ll start over, start it again~
(………yǫoloɘbi ɘƨɿɘvɘɿ) «
So I was ↑LAST, AT FIRST↑
So I am ↓FIRST, AT LAST↓
I’ll take your rotten rules
And leave them in the past.
If I can laugh the ↑LAST↑
Then I can be the ↓FIRST↓
The more you win, you lose.
Go on and do your worst!
Oh, ↑CAN’T YOU REALIZE?↑
Oh, ↓REALIZE YOU CAN’T!↓
Your cards are suited for
A very different hand.
You say to me, ↑“PLAY FAIR”↑
I say, it’s all ↓FAIR PLAY↓
You say, “impossible,”
But I can find a way—
Find my way out when I’m caught in a pinch,
‘Cause the stage has been set for a while.
Just give me a trigger, just give me an "inch"
And I’ll ride to the top on a mile!
The way you reject is the way that I choose,
Since I know it’ll drive you insane.
Unlike all of you, I’ve got nothing to lose
And a whole world of difference to gain!
There’s no room for compromise, only one choice:
Revolution, one-eighty degrees!
The beggars will rise with the governing voice,
And the strongest will drop to their knees!
No, no more subjecting the weak and the small!
Let the hierarchy rearrange.
The bigger you are, well, the harder you fall:
Hit the ground— feel the sound of a change!
