TRANSLATION NOTES/PERSONAL INTERPRETATION
*this write/erase motif seems to come up in jp lyrics a lot, but while researching all i found was that it could be citing the line "恋、と書いたら、あと、書けなくなった。/As for love… no, having once written that word I can write nothing more." in osamu dazai's novel the setting sun. which, WOULD make sense, but i'm not entirely convinced so. shrugs.
**the "valley of tears" line seems like it MAY be a reference to a text by a medieval dominican friar. of all things. The Sinner's Guide/La Guía de Pecadores was written by louis of granada in 1555, but was brought by missionaries to early christian communities in nagasaki and translated in 1599. also mekuru is turning/flipping through pages but mekumekuru is to blind or dazzle so i wanted to convey both.
***this part isn't said out loud, and the "lalala" that is isn't in the written lyrics
also worth mentioning that "nouveau roman" itself refers to a 1950s wave of experimental french novels. i think that with the themes of conflicting history and present, and the literary angle, it could all mean…rather than being restrained by the written past, write your own future... maybe!

creme brûlée: describe your style
it def changes everyday but i usually go bohemian, hippie, feminine, colorful in summer with statement necklaces or structured, dark, tough with my fave black combat boots and leather jacket in winter!! but i appreciate all dif types of styles and always try to have something edgy
lemon tart: how many languages can you speak?
omg im a disgrace to my culture i can only speak english 100% fluently and then moderate fluency spanish and hindi
fudge brownie: do you like your name?
yeah :D i like how its kinda international and simple and it means illusion in hindi!
tiramisu: are you daring when it comes to makeup & clothing or do you like to play it safe?
i think im pretty daring! i always have a bold lip and winged eyeliner on and my clothes are usually super bright or have some kind of bold contrast
apple crisp: how do you relax?
i either listen to music or sleep bc whenever i try to meditate i keep thinking too much and replay all the embarrassing things that have happened to me since 1996
