I’m Still Alive (A Touhou Parody of “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor)

(Mukou) At first it was just rage that fueled the fire inside

I swore that I would never give up until you had died

I spent so many nights thinking how you did my father wrong

And it consumed me, I couldn’t give up and move on

And then I heard you went to space

You left that draught of immortality so I chose to give chase

I should have never gone to sleep, I should have never listened to

That lying goddess of the mountain, because now I’m the same as you

After 3 drops, I had control

My body became just a vessel for my soul

It comes back slowly every time I try to die

I sat here waiting, looking at that empty sky

Yes, that’s my life. I’m still alive

Oh, I spent 300 years trying to fight against Youkai

I don’t have reason to live, but that’s all that I have left

With the Hourai, it’s not like you can wish for death

After 600 years alone, I came to this place

I chose to keep living on, despite my broken fate

And after 300 more years just staring up at that far moon

Who should I find out here but my nemesis, you!

In that instant, I struck you down

I believed it was finally over when you hit the ground

But after several days of emptiness, you came back and killed me

And it was in that moment I noticed your immortality

And so we went for centuries

Every few days, killing each other endlessly

I know it’s pointless, but I felt that I should try

I thought perhaps one day one of us would give up and die

But as you can see, I’m still alive

And as long as I still remember, I will burn deep inside

That’s the reason I still live, the things I cannot forgive

And I’ll survive. I will survive

You sent those two and we fought more

And then Eientei started opening its doors

After a 1000 years, I’m ready to live life again

I guess my new hobby is acting as a cheap escort

Yes, that’s my life. I’m still alive

It’s surprising that after all this, I care to live out a life

I still choose to continue, I still try to kill you too

But still I’m glad that you didn’t go to the moon

You know, this isn’t all that bad, my life up to this day

It’s not like it really matters, since I’ll always stay

After spending 900 years just feeling sorry for myself

I am relieved that I’m just like somebody else

Eternity, a cursed fate

Even after 1000 years, I don’t think it’s too late

I think I can let that rage go, but I won’t let you off easy

You are still my eternal rival and you keep on killing me!

In Gensokyo, past that sealed door

I’m still surviving, just killing you forevermore

You were the one who led to how I lost my life

But after all this time, I feel that I am still alive

I won’t say that I will survive

I think at this point in time I say that I am still alive

I’ve got a reason to live, I’ve got many things to give

Because I’m alive, I am still alive
