【Touhou Lyrics】 The Sealed-Away Youkai ~ Lost Place

Yamame's theme. ...Sometimes, the sickly fear of something can be worse than the thing itself. Of course, even if a sickness is "all in your head," that doesn't make it any less painful.
Consider arachnophobia, or anxiety. Both are relevant topics that I can relate to...
This is a classic youkai grudge song with interesting thematics. Yamame was sealed away for her dangerous ability to spread disease-- but if she infects you, you might share the same fate: sealed away in quarantine.

Chilly-hot and ill-begotten, welcome into hell~
First… You feel mysterious crawling on your skin…
You break a sweat like a puddle and fall in…
The paranoia is weaving its way through…
You’re feeling all eyes on you!
So you’re sick as a tick with a phantom disease,
And a fever that soars to a thousand degrees!
Burning up hot like a fire, yet shivering as if you might freeze.
Getting weary, delirious– stop it, stop it please!
Ah… If you look under the surface then you’ll see,
What’s bugging you is the same that bugs me!
You can’t control your own body for a thing.
Your hands are tied with a string!
And the symptoms are nothing compared to the cure.
If you’re caught with a bug, well, it’s over for sure!
Now the only way to be pure… is a quarantine.
In a hell where you’re longing to see the light of day…
How does it feel when the world is gonna seal you away?
