Rat is short for Ratthew

Can we just admire the fact that *Oktavia was able to sing those fast parts of the song-*

The Danganronpa version of this messed me up I swear my eyes were just sweating-

Me: Looking for the meaning of the song Comments: dAnGaNrOnPa YeEt (Don't get me wrong I like dAnGaNrOnPa too)

wow the day my cat brings a rat to my door this song comes out

I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR A COVER OF THIS SINCE I SAW THAT DANGANRONPA V3 PV AND THEN YOU GO AND COVER IT BLESS YOU QUEEN

Ok, This song is about the book "The Plague", Which I haven't read but I have heard of, From what I know it's about a city and one day suddenly a ton of rats come out and die of the bubonic plague. Most of the story is about the effects of the Bubonic plague on the city it showed itself in.

THIS IS INSAAAAANE

It was on this day that humanity received a grin reminder: Oktavia is the god we need but not the one we deserve

the rats............have been....................RELEASED

_rats, rats, we're the rats. we prey at night, we stalk at night. we're the rats_ ok but seriously nice cover! excellent job on the lyrics as always! The pv for this song has such an interesting aesthetic to it!

The song being based on "The Plague" makes it hit hard right now. This is one of my favourite vocaloid songs, and your cover is super cool!

[Here are the lyrics just in case you want them to sing along with the song] The flowers helped to smell like spellings of spring, An iris to gray iris in the town, gaining speed Delude and claim you can’t sleep without stir, They’ll scan you with a glass eye to confirm your every word In ties and binds, eye-line tugging to a tee Those downcast drops dropped on locks of secrecy Our feature presentation gladly welcomes your ears, Eyes shut with seeds so you don’t need to lose them through tears A News Stop piece deems someone guilty, Although they quote no ogre to remain PC That read I slammed and stamped with pastimes, The time past for a punch line Ambiguous speakers, no stand-back to feature? Then who will sweep the leftover ash as leader, Flashed and flared and later? Hey, you sure the feelings we burned Show a show, classic, this shouldered cast should act by? When I tried overturning the first title the rats, at last, had died Here we reside, the right timeline, The context and content best of their kind Shunning the illness for the outbreak it caused, I stained my hands stealing the doleful folks’ trust That lying profit/phet was the way that we grew, Chewing up junk food just to cover the truth And yes, the voices sure God was dead, They left one day, have paid no visits since then The drunkards sick of swigging self-love, They fail at falling forward in pinch mania An upper hook that books your breath tight, And ever-leaking pipeline Best schemes conspired, gone ghetto, the road winds in dirt Right, left, think you can handle both the handles? Either Leave or please try to mind each, super driver Say, ain’t it a thesis? A common thought with closed eyes? Skipping some sixty min. stalemate, up ahead I sensed the rats, at last, had died Ambiguous speakers, no stand-back to feature? Then who will sweep the leftover ash as leader, Flashed and flared and later? Hey, you sure the feelings we burned Show a show, classic, this shouldered cast should act by? Spons’ring some pond’ring stalemate, up ahead I sensed the rats, at last, had died Free speech finally comes to life as Cats and frogs high leave the benches for an “All now rise!” Unaware of every nook and cranny squarely set they’re handin’ candid Rats, hoping to maintain some semblance of pride They name plain ways, lined up while the votes are flowing in, And lie like it’s no sin Burglar cat lappin’ facts up like a cat burglar, Do you also know me better than I know my face? (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey) (La la la la la…) “One split dream and we’ll make you bleed if you’re caught”, they said, So I went ahead and blamed it on you instead! (Ha-ha!) Ambiguous speakers, no stand-back to feature? Then who will sweep the leftover ash as leader, Flashed and flared and later? Hey, you sure the feelings we burned Show a show, classic, this shouldered cast should act by? When I tried overturning the first title the rats, at last, had died Freedom with no sure aim or slummed in sludge, but no pure waste? Hobbies halt, still, when you give them a name, so does their Merit live out of focus in the first place? ‘Cause that Key place is the key we keep, with one sheet stammering farther inside So lashing out with all those doubts cast aside, we democrats, at last, had died At that time, we saw a bright cold sky… (La la la la la…)

where did my wig go

You better be ready for what the Danganronpa fandom will do with this song.

Thank you for keeping the old man screaming in the beggining

Vocals : Hatsune Miku *Oktavia = Hatsune Miku confirmed*

Omg it’s happened I’m so happy Every time I hear this song I think of danganronpa v3 Version

This is one of my favourite songs and I thank you for covering it!

V3 is shook with that speed ...you killed the chorus!😂

I'm very curious. What's your interpretation of this song? I keep trying to comprehend the lyrics, both your version and the literal translation of the original Japanese lyrics, but my mind fails me, so I really wanna know what the song is about.

Danganronpa Fans: Yes this is ours it is amazing. Me, who has read The Plague: Heresy

hOLY CRaP how do yoU SING SO FAST EDIT : Ok, now that I’ve listened to this about 50 times over the past few days, I can now proudly say that I can sorta sing the rap part (if I barely pronounce the words...)

This is absolutely amazing but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what the hell this is about. It definitely has a socio-political message, but I'm struggling to fully comprehend it. I'm getting "blind masses ignoring obvious social and political problems" but that's it. Could someone offer an interpretation?

Danganronpa fans: Oh yes *sob* this is truly *sob* a great song... That’s what I felt anyway

Thank you for this. I listened last night and it made me realize that I was starting to hate a passion project of mine and inspired me to turn it back around into something I love again.

Something about your vocals adds a new special quality to this song, props for getting the fast parts down pat!

Happy anniversary❤️❤️ your voice is beautiful I can’t wait to see your channel grow even more

This is one of my favorite songs, and to hear you cover it is just //kisses fingers// the cherry on top. Bless you Oktavia! 💕💕💕 Edit: also the fact you read the book for clarification is just, you went above and beyond with this cover. I honestly have no words and this is probably gonna be my 2nd favorite cover of yours now. 💕💕

I will be stealing 2:52 *THE MOOOON*

この曲好きだから有難いです

I thought the song was ironic in that the spread of democracy is like a plague infection. So I discussed some of the passages that caught my attention. 1:41 The literal translation in Japanese is "I called in an epidemic, I took advantage of depression and dirtied my hands." The former took advantage of citizens who were tired of authoritarian regimes, etc., and spread an epidemic (democracy) among them, The person who created the epidemic abused the system and profited from it. 1:48 The literal translation in Japanese is "Thus we were enriched, we swallowed the lie with junk food." After some years, the assets of some who profited from democracy were enriched, The abuse was covered up with easy, cheap junk food (democracy). (Maybe this is where I mention the McDonaldization of George Ritzer.) 1:55 The literal translation in Japanese is, "The voices of fear that God is dead have ceased to cry out." "God is dead" is Nietzsche's critique of the existing moral spirit of the late 19th century, No one is left to raise issues as Nietzsche did, and no one is left to worry about democracy. In other words, the rats (democrats) who no longer think about the shortcomings of the democratic system and have given up questioning it, died.

Screw sleep, another great cover! Also, happy 2 year anniversary! Here's to more years of great covers.

Whenever I listen to this I just think DANGANRONPA V3 and Kill/Cure

I sooo want this on spotify

I love this so much, even after so long. You're still the only person who's fully completed English lyrics other than my own set as far as I know, (I don't sing covers because I lack the tech, vocals and editing skills,) and it's interesting in how much they differ, yet still retain the same overall meaning. Hats off to you!

AAA ILYSM OKTAVIA //aWAITS DRV3 VIDEO WITH OKTAVIA'S VOCALS IN

I have no clue why but the "La la la"'s at the end of the song make me emotional

I love it when Oktavia covers obscure songs I've never heard before. This was a bop skskdsj HAPPY TWO YEARS ! ! ! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND TALENT! !

This is so good! And the first English cover I heard of this song too

2:54 theres no way you actually sang at that speed while actually properly saying those words-- but if you did. Then. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Aaaah thank you for covering this! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever just for this.

Ok, i gotta say, most of the time when i listen to a cover of a song, i usually refer to the first time i heard it for the first time, and for this one, it was a male cover. Things is i usually prefer voices that are close to what i heard originally, but your cover is something else. Despite being a female cover, your tone actually sound perfect, you truly nailed the boredom that the lyrics transcribe and i honestly think it's fantastic 'cuz you didn't tried to go over the top by adding high pitch notes that you expect from a female cover, and it's really pleasent to the hears, almost soothing. So yeah, a grand bravo !

Oktavia, I'm literally about to go to sleep and you upload why now? Totally worth staying up for though. Congratz on the Cover-anniversary I hope by the 3rd anniversary you have more than 20x these subs, you really deserve it Well, good night peeps

I just realized how well this song fits in with the context of covid

I’m in love with your voice ^^. Such intoxicating mixing as well.

I AM ASHAMED THAT I WAS ASLEEP WHEN THIS WAS UPLOADED!!!!! I HAVE FAILED ANOTHER SENPAI!!!!!

Yesss I fell in love with this song so hard after discovering it in a Kaito cover, so I’m excited to finally be able to sing along with it!! I’m always so impressed at the ability to write lyrics that not only fit perfectly with the melody, but also capture the original meaning AND sound beautifully poetic! I try writing my own lyrics sometimes but man, even just getting them to fit is the music is so hard, much less making them so beautifully poetic too. You’re incredibly skilled, thank you so much for these beautiful covers!!

OKAY BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING?? I LOVE THIS, THANK YOU FOR DOING A COVER OF THIS GREAT SONG!!

The first time I heard this song it felt nostalgic for some reason idk why tho

This is still one of my favorite covers, ahh, I love coming back to this cover by you Oktavia. It’s amazing and I love your vocals !! :]]

I listened to this nonstop years ago, this is so nostalgic

Can't thank you enough for covering this! I've loved this song for so long and your voice makes it better.

When I first saw this video pop up in my notifications, I was a little worried since the lyrics of this song are really complex and it seemed it would have been very hard to translate them in a way that would be both singable and appropriate. But it seems my fears were unfounded, because you absolutely nailed the lyrics! I'm honestly super impressed you were able to fit every syllable and key phrase so perfectly into this cover, not to mention how smoothly you're able to sing them! I honestly think this is one of your best covers, both for the incredible lyrics and your stunning voice being able to sing it all crystal clear. Good job, and a super huge kudos to you, Oktavia!

You honestly don't know how long I've wanted this! Thanks!

I seriously admire how much work and effort you put in writing your lyrics. Happy Rat tuesday lmao

OMG YOU'RE AWESOME !!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A LONGTIME FOR A COVER !!

I love how everyone is either like "such a great song! you did great!" or "Here come the danganronpa fans" Although Danganronpa does go with the song very well, you did do great. 1:04 Kaede's execution--

Oh my god I love this song!!! And to see your cover of it is priceless!!!

I have two theories about what this is about. 1. About a corrupt government 2. The Plague My second theory is more likely, but the first one is also possible.
