Nu Drama - Ikigai (English Translation)
[Intro]
Saxes that sound like a microwave
Or like a Geiger counter
Have you ever heard it? I want to feel it forever
I can see Nibiru from here
But I don’t even want to say it
Cause they will look at me like a pebble from a river
That is thought to have viruses but it’s pure

[Verse 1]
I brought you an iceberg
But you are mad about the tip of it
Like everyone else
That’s why I feel like Nikola Tesla
Or a pig farmer that throws pearls
To his livestock, he spent hours sculpting them
Holding the load like Atlas
But at least he has the sky a little bit closer
And it allows him to deal with a such big piece of ice
It may be some kind of Napoleon complex
But the invasion disgusts me
The day that elevator silences are not uncomfortable to you
And, by contrast, you wonder how the sensor
That keeps the doors open works
And you don’t want the technician to give you answers
You want to be the one that fantasize and finds them;
Then you will be about to understand
How my random thinking works:
Why so many travels from a desk chair
And always metaphors with the Gobi Desert
Don’t say it’s just a phase or just a face to justify
It’s not the vibe you need to feel alive
I will never feel what I already felt
Theodore Twombly
The day more doors open and I leave more things written
It won’t matter if it’s valued

[Chorus]
If you try it, Ikigai
And if I fall down, Ikigai
Ikigai, Ikigai. (x2)

[Verse 2]
I got eagles in my body all around
And I’m so sure that nobody has found their nest
When I’m taking a siesta
They fly and there’s no pressure in me, finally
I have all the fauna around the aura
I created like if it was a fireplace
They all come to warm up
They don’t really care about me
It’s been a while since I spoke any language or moved
I’m moving away from humans like a rock or a mineral
I crawl to the river when there’s more volume
I grab as I can a sequoia’s log as if it was a buoy

[Chorus]
If you try it, Ikigai
And if I fall down, Ikigai
Ikigai, Ikigai. (x4)
