CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW AMIA WELL HANDLED THE GEMSTONE PART? NOT ONLY DID THEY STILL KEEP THEIR MEANING, BUT THEY MADE IT RHYME WHILE STILL FITTING THE CHARACTERS!
Honestly Amia has the best vocals and translations for nightcode songs, I love how well the lyrics match to both the beat and the actual translation!! Great cover as always
@@amiarylliswho is the second person and why do u hate this person who just said that ur voice is better than their child’s birth 😅 but your cover was really good I won’t try to suck up to you or something but I enjoy this song.
i know im very late but this actually the best translation i've heard of this song. you use very visual words and it really elevates the meaning of this song
This is a gentle reminder that you don't owe your viewers anything!! Life happens to us all, don't feel pressured to post something ^^ Great cover nonetheless, I'll never get over your vocals! They're amazing, and your lyrics are so catchy.
loved this cover!! i actually thought tricologe was somewhat mid but this is so very cool, nice lyrics and singing!!! although i do miss the "lay-deeh" lol

shackled down by these chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady
although this jewel tossed aside has lost its final spark of light
i’ll keep on wearing it with pride
since the day that someone saved my life,
i’ve felt that duty has now become mine
it feels like fiction, a trepanation; letting every rampant thought run wild
shackles burden as corruption rots me down to my core
destined merely once to see the light and never once more
i sit imprisoned in this lonely room, waiting for something forgotten
and every helping that was served to me, i ate without complaining
an honour student, like a corpse, is a zombie that’s far from entertaining
“home is where you make it,” a miserable song, but again and again i spit out words that are wrong
and after all of that, this tiring eating act…
…i think i’ve lost all ability i had
as the moon rises, i see a shimmering sight
a mirrorball still glowing with the warmest light
it was a shocking sight to see, it was the strangest thing to me
and i had found myself drawn to its radiant glow…
shackled down by these chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady
they say, “that suits you perfectly!”
“it’s like you’re both just made to be!”
but no-one really seems to care - in the end, we’re all playing pretend
shackled by chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady lady
this unrelenting pain, the wounds that open up again
each of these torturing ordeals must be surpassed to survive
but in the end, it’s nothing, right?
a pink opal that had been broken someday
and an iolite that’s lost its own way
covered in dust, a dimmening topaz
a lonely ametrine; a hopeless outcast
each of them dress in their own way
each of them grow cloudy day-by-day
and the heaviest burdens within their midst will drag them down into the abyss
aah, even this momentary happiness is
like a national holiday; another twisted destiny that life has thrown my way
it disappears like a lie, this fake comfort will never last me ‘til i die
all i depend on is this feeling of my own hopeful despair
shackled by chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady
“someday your work will all pay off”
“they’ll treat you well without a scoff”
telling ourselves these words of comfort to drown out the doubting voices
shackled by chains, now the storybook is closing, lady, lady
envy and jealousy, feelings of inferiority
each of these ordeals must be surpassed to survive
we have no choice but just to fight
shackled down by these chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady
this bland, generic jewelry no longer has a use to me
now, the cloudy ‘broken’ jewels glow with an astounding beauty
shackled by chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady lady
“this looks too old for me”
“this stuff won’t make me more money”
well, these senseless words that i don’t agree with are useless to me
shackled by chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady lady
it’s fine to carry pain, if you have secrets that you never will name
yes, these are how we live our lives so our futures are bright
and i believe you’ll be alright
lady lady
could it be that your a prisoner too
thanks was gonna make an animation with lyrics

Lyrics
shackled down by these chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady
although this jewel tossed aside has lost its final spark of light
i’ll keep on wearing it with pride
since the day that someone saved my life,
i’ve felt that duty has now become mine
it feels like fiction, a trepanation; letting every rampant thought run wild
shackles burden as corruption rots me down to my core
destined merely once to see the light and never once more
i sit imprisoned in this lonely room, waiting for something forgotten
and every helping that was served to me, i ate without complaining
an honour student, like a corpse, is a zombie that’s far from entertaining
“home is where you make it,” a miserable song, but again and again i spit out words that are wrong
and after all of that, this tiring eating act…
…i think i’ve lost all ability i had
as the moon rises, i see a shimmering sight
a mirrorball still glowing with the warmest light
it was a shocking sight to see, it was the strangest thing to me
and i had found myself drawn to its radiant glow…
shackled down by these chains, i’ll become this life’s prisoner lady
