Dragalia Lost Stranded Scions Event Song:

Eat Sleep Escape

Vocals: ano Lyrics: ano Composition: TAKU INOUE Arrangement: TAKU INOUE Translation + Video: HazeintheDaze

Image: taken from archive of official Dragalia Lost twitter event promotion art

As usual the lyrics in the video are written to be synced to the song, the more accurate translation is below. I really like the repeated use of alliteration which is hard to be captured with a direct translation.

You can listen to the song on spotify so do support the release

More accurate translation

This restless world makes me feel dizzy I wish for it to end Rolling up all the drunken words into a tube

Oh look, another advice that completely missed the point I say byebye I open my third eye come come It's almost twilight I just want to sleep more See you later Time's up

I'm tired of the same old stories My calories have vanished What shall I eat

I'm at top gear, but I'm not doing anything Plus a nice wind Almost almost zero low speeds we run Now eat, sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm at top gear, but running at maximum speed is a pointless dream Just leave it as it is and say good bye to it Now escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Eat, sleep, escape hey

Eat, sleep, escape

Using the top of the line top gear but I won't do anything Plus a nice wind Almost almost zero low speeds we run Now eat, sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm at top gear, but running at maximum speed is a pointless dream I'll leave it as it is and melt away Now escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Goodbye goodbye

Eat sleep repeat Eat sleep escape

Video Lyrics

Restless listless endlessly turning world A dizzy gaze How I just want it to end

Rubbish sluggish drunken words Rolled into a tube

Another advice that has totally missed the point Let's wave a bye bye Open my third eye Perceive the lies lies It’s almost twilight I wanna sleep some more, see ya The time's up

Tired living the same old stories Dissolved and gone the calories burnt I wonder what I’ll eat today

Gears shift to high, but nothing has been done Plus one good breeze Almost almost zero, low speed has set Now eat, sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Gears shift to high, but max speed’s just a dream That you cannot reach Just leave it as it is and say goodbye to it And escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Eat, sleep, escape hey

Eat, sleep, escape

Best gears have shift to high, but I’m not gonna move Plus one good breeze Almost almost zero, low speed has set Come eat, sleep

Gears set to high, but max speed is a pointless dream to chase for me Just leave it all behind and melt away and fade Let's escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Goodbye to you, goodbye to you

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Eat sleep repeat Eat sleep escape

Chat with Bible Wichapas about his career as an actor - GQ Thailand Interview

Translation below ->

The success of KinnPorsche The Series has become a turning point in many people's lives. One of them is Bible-Witchapas Sumettikul, who plays the role of 'Vegas’, and he’s gone from being an ordinary 25 year old guy to become a promising newcomer in the entertainment industry, catching the attention of many. 

Bible is from Chiang Mai. He went to an international school and he’s fluent in English. Before moving to Bangkok, he was studying Mechanical Engineering with a major in English at the Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University, which he mentioned that he only has a few courses left to complete his studies. 

Previously, Bible did commercials and modeling until he got the opportunity to act in “Kinnporsche the series”, which was a leap in his life that opened a new chapter for him. He learned about the art of acting and unlocked his potential, breaking free from self-doubt. Slightly introvert, he has become an actor with a portfolio in fashion shoots and more. 

For example, Bible came today to do a photoshoot with RADO, a Swiss watch brand known for being "Master of Materials". He's featured with the RADO CAPTAIN COOK Special Edition, which stands out with its exposed mechanical movement under the “Art of Skeletonisation” series (Art of Internal Structure).

GQ: Tell me about your childhood and what it was like.

Bible: I’ve been in the international school community since I was a child, which has led me to have a lot of foreign friends. For example, the school I attended had around 90% of foreign students and the other 1% were Thai. It felt like studying abroad with such diverse of nationalities. However, during breaks, the lifestyle and the activities were like a typical kid from Chiang Mai. I like riding motorcycles up the mountains, visiting waterfalls, and exploring nature’s tourist attractions. 

GQ: That's why you speak English so well.

Bible: You can say English is my main language. I speak it more fluently than Thai because I have so many foreign friends, and I also speak English at home. But when I started working as an actor, I had to practice speaking Thai more. At first, it was difficult because I could think in Thai, but expressing it verbally was difficult. However, the more I practiced, the more I get use to it, so I'm more confident speaking Thai now and I feel better using it.

GQ: Is it an advantage, Especially for new actors who want to go international and success in the entertainment industry?

Bible: I think it's an advantage. However, currently the Thai entertainment industry may still prioritize the importance of speaking Thai. But I believe that, in the near future, actor may need to speak more languages.

GQ: How did the nickname "Bible" come from?

Bible: My dad became a Christian around the time I was born, and he wanted to read the Bible more often, so he used it as a nickname as a reminder to read the Bible more every time whenever he saw me.

GQ: People know you from the role of "Vegas" in "Kinnporche the series", where you played a charismatic and villainous character. But in reality, what's your personality?

Bible: If you get to know me and become close, you'll realize that I'm quite a playful person, but I can look calm and composed because I'm shy. I have a natural introverted nature.

GQ: Before becoming an actor, what kind of works did you have?

Bible: I was in a modeling agency so I got cast for various jobs, including ads and modeling, but I didn't get many opportunities. Even doing 30-40 castings, I would only get 2-3 jobs at most. When the casting for "Kinnporsche the series" came along, I saw it as a good opportunity to try acting, even though I had very little on-camera experience.

GQ: So it was a turning point in your life

Bible: I remember a lot of commercial casting where I had to speak with confidence but I could never do it, might be due to the pronunciation, or the language usage. However, I could manage some commercial with fewer lines. So playing the character "Vegas" in "Kinnporsche the series" was like a transformative experience for me. Apart from the character's strength, I unlocked many things within myself that I didn't know existed.

GQ: For example?

Bible: I understand myself better than before, in the sense of knowing what kind of person I am. Learning to act helped me to figure out what suits me best and apply it to my work and my real life as well. It has helped me to improve and become a more complete human being. 

GQ: Once you entered the world of acting, what did you come to understand?

Bible: I came to understand more about being a human being. I began to empathize with others, understanding what ordinary people need or what drives them to act in certain ways. There are reasons and consequences within themselves.

GQ: Has your introversion lessened over time?

Bible: I think it's like adjusting a mode within myself. It's like I'm not afraid of meeting people, but I just have a lack of confidence in myself. Everything comes back to myself. So changing my perspective that meeting other people is like meeting friends has made my work smoother and brought me more happiness.

GQ: What do you like about being an actor?

Bible: I love being on set. I appreciate the fact that everyone has important roles and responsibilities, and we all have to communicate and work together. With passion, we all strive to give our best. It's inspiring to fight together and create the best possible outcome for our work.

GQ: How do you see your career path in the entertainment industry, both as an actor and in other roles?

Bible: Honetly, I haven't looked too far ahead. I never really thought or dreamed that I would come this far. When I got cast for "Kinnporsche the series", I thought it was a good opportunity to show my acting skills, and I did my best. It was a great experience, and the series turned out to be more successful that I could have imagined. Everything has exceeded my wildest dreams. From that point on, everything has been a bonus in my life. No matter what happens in the future, I feel that it's all worth it.

GQ: And lately you've been working more in the fashion industry.

Bible: I think it's very fun. When I get to do fashion shoots, I feel like I'm just expressing my true self, and seeing myself as part of the complete picture makes the photos much more perfect.

GQ: How do you feel about doing the photoshoot today with a RADO watch?

Bible: It's my first time shooting with a watch brand, and I feel extremely proud to have the opportunity to shoot with RADO, a Swiss brand known for its fascinating innovations, especially their high-tech ceramic that is lightweight and durable. I'm delighted to work with GQ and RADO. Thank you very much.

GQ: Which watch do you like most and why?

Bible: The Captain Cook model, named after the explorer (James Cook), is very special because it has everything - from high-tech ceramic material, plasma color dial, skeleton-style display showcasing the watch's internal mechanism, sapphire crystal, to being water-resistant up to 300 metres. It's ready to go through anything. I think it's a watch that suits me well. It has a subtle appearance but with intricate details, which align perfectly with my adventurous lifestyle.

WARPLANE

We were so far at night, I was laughing in my rage, as a swarm of bees buzzed the hunters above me, the defense was strong, how they fired, friend, until in the end our new hive appeared on the horizon it was just by a thread, and they pick me off and down there sweep me up, but I came back you see! and tomorrow again fears and hides in basements from me the cowardly Europe! oh, leave it, enough! did you write since yesterday?

POET

I wrote, what could I do? the poet writes, the cat meows and the hound howls and the little fish lays eggs boldly. I'll write everything, even to you, so even above you'll know that I live, when between the exploding and collapsing houserows blood-veined moon's light wanders and rises up all, in fear all the places, and the breath stops, even the sky's staggering and the machine's just keep on coming, disappear, and much like a gurgling madness strike down all once again! I write, what could I do? and a poem's so dangerous, if you knew, one line's so fastidious and capricious, because this, also, is bravery, see, the poet writes, the cat meows and the hound howls and the little fish - Et cetera… and what can you do? nothing! You just listen to the machine, and your ear's buzzing, how you cannot hear it now, Do not deny your friend! and it grew together with you. what do you think about, while you fly above our heads?

WARPLANE

Laugh at me. I am scared up there. And I ache for my love, and closing both my eyes, laying down on a bed or just hum about it, gritting between teeth, quietly, in the canteen-deep beast and steamy chaos. If I'm up, I'd rather come down! and down flying again's my desire, there's no place for me left in this kneaded world, and the machine too, I know well, love too much, it's true, but we both hurt to one beat up there… but you do know! and you write it! and it won't be a secret anymore, I also lived as a human, who now just destroys, between sky and land, without a home, but oh, who understands.. Will you write about me?

POET

If I live. And if there's anyone left to.

(from Radnóti Miklós, [Last Name, First Name] titled "Second Eclogue", second part of his planned-to-be ten part poem series (which became 7, secretly 8 parts in the end), published in 1941)

What happens to Bruno if you don't romance Yoke and she dies

Bruno was taken to the orphanage (Jan, his grandfather, died before Yoke). Theodora stayed in touch with Mrs Wauters who was visiting Bruno regularly. Theo as well as Lawrence and Friedrich (in case he didn't die in 1918) inquired about his well-being and helped financially.

*Friedrich dies in 1918 if you don't romance him and he's not in relationships with Kurt

Nobody took Bruno to the USA because he didn't want to leave Himworde. His mother and grandfather were born and raised there and they were buried there too. Everything Bruno knew and loved was in Belgium and as a child he didn't want to change it for a life in an unknown country with strangers.

When Bruno became an adult he started thinking about moving out. When he came to the USA he met Diana and they got married. Arina (the writer) says she would not want people to condemn Theodora and Lawrence saying that "their friendship wasn't friendship in the end". Bruno wasn't forgotten, no, he was remembered and taken care of.

Why should anyone perish in battle?

How damp is the land breathing beneath our feet,

How clear is the sky above us!

Why should there be strife under this sky?

Above the apple-tree a swarm of bees buzzes

The children laugh in the raspberry bushes,

In a land where men do not fight,

Where defenseless kindness is mighty...

I shall walk there day and night,

With no regard for thirst and hunger.

I want so much to reach that place one day

And tie my scabbard with a strap.

But the way is long and the enemies are fierce,

And only force can counter force.

How can one step into the silence though puddles of blood,

Their sword still not forsaken from their hold?..

“there is a buffoon in my mirror

and he hides his tears with laughter

he rusihes forward like the lightning

but sees his shadow right behind

and he has never even shown

that he is hurting and in pieces

so people just pretend like everything is fine”

alright look, i just wanna know who is the writer that came up with the dumbass idea of replacing the line “Ever since I lost my son, I think of you as my own” with “Lu Ten would have been proud to have you as his father” in this scene for the Netflix live action series???

#atla #Avatar the Last Airbender #atlaedit #animationedit #Zuko #Uncle Iroh #*mine #GIVE ME THE NAME!!!!! #and it's funny how they chose to keep most of the lines almost verbatim in this scene but then replaced the MOST important line... #seriously who in their right f*cking mind thought that was the better line to say in this context HUH??? #the way it was originally written was such an important highlight of this scene too!! #IT LITERALLY SUMS UP IROH AND ZUKO'S ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP IN ONE SENTENCE #like i know certain dialogues can't be translated well into live action and some changes are necessary #but there was absolutely NO reason to change this particular line whatsoever in this specific scene

/ In the memory of Bálint György / FRAGMENT

Dear friend, how I shivered from this poem's coldness, how I dreaded the word, today I once again escaped from it I wrote half-lines. About something else, else I tried to write about, but no avail! This night, terrible, cloaked night, commanded me: Talk about him. And I get alarmed, but the voice has gone quiet, like the dead on Ukraine's fields outside. You've gone missing. And this autumn hasn't brought news about you either. On the forest again flies the wild winter's prophecy, pull the heavy clouds, and filled with snow once again stop on the sky. Who knows if you're alive? Today not even I know, I'm also not raging, when they swat their hands and painfully covers their faces. and don't know anything. But do you live? are you only injured? You walk in the leaf pile between the forest mud's thick scent or are you scent yourself too? Snow's already flying on the fields. Missing, - knocks the news. And drums, freezes the heart inside. Between my two ribs already tensing bad pain awakens shivers at times like these, and in my memories live so vividly your long-said words and I feel your bodily being like the dead's - I can't write about you today either!

(from Radnóti Miklós, [Last Name, First Name] titled "Fifth Eclogue", fifth part of his planned-to-be ten part poem series (which became 7, secretly 8 parts in the end), published in 1944. Bálint György [Last Name, First Name] is a friend of his who went missing after being enlisted into forced manual labour.)
