Lyrics:
Isn't she a good girl? She might be the best one
There's so many good things happening within her mind
Tell me does that please you? Can you say you're satisfied?
Everything you dream about, don't you want to make it come true?
You can say you're fine with it, she's good enough for now
Lovingly we compromise, sipping from a balloon fish
Tell me does that please you? Can you say you're satisfied?
Everything you dream about, don't you want to make it come true?
Paying your delusional tax
Everybody's rich, we're good to go
Everyone lives on top of the world!
And you just want, want, want your desires fulfilled
And you'll pay any price to decide your future
Although the road you paved won't always look so grand
You'll go beyond the pain so you can get ahead
Yes, you will make payments for those filthy delusions
With all the dirty money you have
YEAH!
Tomorrow you know it, tomorrow for certain
You will be the center of the whole entire world
Tell me does that please you? Can you say you're satisfied?
Everything you dream about, I can make them it all come true!
Everything's for your sake, I did all this for you
My system of love is your sweet obligation
Tell me does that please you? You're not looking satisfied
So who is the idiot that will not quit screaming "NO!"
Paying your delusional tax
Everybody's rich, we're good to go
Everyone lives on top of the world!
Your wishes won't come true unless you pay up now
Let's pile up the loans, no matter the amount
And it's a bittersweet thing, this reality
You'll go beyond the pain, pretending you don't see
Yes, you will make payments for those filthy delusions
With all the dirty money you have
All the things that you keep wishing for
All the people that you're thinking of
All the unpleasantries in your past
Will be altered just like you asked
Bring your true self to the surface
And show the heart that you believe you have
Only asking that you pay for it
Your wishes will come true
Paying your delusional tax
Everybody's rich, we're good to go
Everyone lives on top of the world!
And you just want, want, want your desires fulfilled
And you'll pay any price to decide your future
Although the road you paved won't always look so grand
You'll go beyond the pain so you can get ahead
Despite what you have paid, you have nothing to show
And it's a lie, lie, lie, everything that I spoke
So thank you very much, I think we're out of time
These scraps of paper that you gave me are all mine
Yes, you will make payments for those filthy delusions
With all the dirty money you have

this still sounds so good 9 years later
kinda wanna make a rachie ringtone of her laughter lmao
Sound a bit creepy.
aw hell yeah
Ikr
@@lahnhedberg3403 For sure!
sittin here deluding myself listening to this song instead of doing my homework due in tomorow. Looks like I'm gonna have to pay the tax tomorow. ;n;
Did you do your homework yet?
@@wire3785 as long as the teacher isn't there you could still do your homework
Have you done your homework yet?
Have you done your homework yet? We need an update!
You sound so innocent but what you're singing about is dirty money.
Hahahaha... dammit.
This song really reminds me of the book 'The Great Gatsby"
"Isn't she a good girl? She might be the best one
There's so many good things happening within her mind"
This lines would be describing Daisy, in the eyes of Gatsby. He was extremely infatuated with his idea of her, desperately wanting to be with her.
"Tell me does that please you? Can you say you're satisfied?
Everything you dream about, don't you want to make it come true?"
This fits well with Gatsby, as he had huge ambitions from childhood, culminating in his desire to be with Daisy. He couldn't be satisfied until he was with her and had everything he desired
"Everybody's rich, we're good to go
Everyone lives on top of the world!"
This fits very well with how everyone in the series is very rich and many see themselves at the top of others.
"And you'll pay any price to decide your future
Although the road you paved won't always look so grand
You'll go beyond the pain so you can get ahead"
Gatsby would do anything to follow his dream. In the book he uses bootlegging and other illegal methods in order to make his fortune. He also was taken advantage by many people, such as the attendees to the parties he ran. The attendees didn't care about Gatsby at all but benefited from his attempts to impress Daisy.
"Yes, you will make payments for those filthy delusions
With all the dirty money you have"
Gatsby ended up failing to get with Daisy, as she decided to stay with Tom at the end, despite all the effort Gatsby went through to impress her. He made payments for his delusion that his relationship with Daisy could ever work out. His money could definitely be considered dirty, considering he got it through illegal activities.
"Everything's for your sake, I did all this for you
My system of love is your sweet obligation
Tell me does that please you? You're not looking satisfied
So who is the idiot that will not quit screaming "NO!""
This related extremely well to Gatsby's relationship to Daisy. Gatsby did EVERYTHING for Daisy, but it was never really enough to convince Daisy to leave Tom for him. Gatsby's love was intense and he's do anything for Daisy, but she wasn't impressed enough by it, which hurt Gatsby deeply.
"All the things that you keep wishing for all the people that you're thinking of
All the unpleasantries in your past will be altered just like you asked"
Gatsby wanted Daisy to love him despite the fact that he came from a poor background and used illegal methods to become rich. He doesn't want to be associated with his origins, which is why he lies and says he was born rich.
"Bring your true self to the surface
And show the heart that you believe you have"
Daisy is very shallow, but Gatsby was basing his love on the version of Daisy he loved 5 years before. He has imagined her as perfection and put her on a pedestal. Gatsby wants Daisy to reveal her true self, which doesn't actually exist.
"Despite what you have paid, you have nothing to show
And it's a lie, lie, lie, everything that I spoke"
Gatsby worked so hard and paid so much for Daisy, but she ended up staying with Tom and it was all for naught. Daisy didn't quite lie by saying she loved Gatsby, but it wasn't true that she *only* loved him.
"So thank you very much, I think we're out of time
These scraps of paper that you gave me are all mine"
Nearly everyone around Gatsby took advantage of him, like the attendees of his party, and Klipspringer, none of which actually cared about Gatsby but gained a lot from him.
The rest of the song is mostly repetitions of the above lines. I just thought it was interesting how well this song connected to the book!
That's an awesome connection!! Thanks for sharing!
This song also reminds me of the anime Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler
Now that I think about it, this song also reminds me of The Wolf of Wallstreet
bro i wish you’d commented this when i wrote my english final two years ago connecting vocaloid songs to the great gatsby ✌🏻😔 this is gold tho thank you
WHOOOOA THATZ NEAT
Ah I loved this! This is so good all-round, great job Rachie and everyone else involved!
Thank youuuu c:
I've listened to several different versions of this song quite a few times and I still can't figure out what it's supposed to be about with any real confidence. I suspect that's probably partly because it has rather vague lyrics in the original Japanese, since every sub and dub I've seen has substantial differences in its translation. If anyone thinks they know what the lyrics are supposed to be about, I'd be grateful if you let me know!
It’s a song about prostitution. Paying the woman to like you, pretend you’re great, all the things you want to hear, etc. then when your time runs out, she takes the money and leaves. And it was all a lie.
@@ZenoBell016 Hm; I suppose that could very well be it, although there are some parts that don't seem to me to quite fit with that interpretation. But that's still the best-fitting specific interpretation I've heard proposed for this!
I think the song doesn't refer directly to someone getting his delusions with money as most people do. I rather think it's about the pain you feel when you realise your delusions are not true. But that's just my interpretation. I don't speak Japanese, so I probably know as much as you.
My interpretation is that it's someone who feels unfulfilled, and attempts to rectify this through their delusions. They relentlessly pursue whatever it is that they think will make them happier, with no consideration to how their actions affect the people around them. But it's never enough, they're never satisfied. They always feel like they're missing something. Instead of finding whatever it is, the person deludes themself into thinking other things will take away that feeling, and they're willing to pay any price as they believe it'll all be worth it in the end. Their misdeeds pile up but they still continue chasing the delusions, not realising until too late that none of it is what they truly wanted. Their misdeeds catch up to them and they've lost all the people and things that were actually important to them. They pay the price when they're left with nothing.
isn't this tom nook's theme song
このアレンジが好き過ぎる。途中の笑い声かっこいいw
兼ミジンコ それな
I think this is about a girl who can grant any wish and there's this person who has a ton of money. That said person is greedy and really wants everything. So she grants all the things he wants and is so happy in his desires that he doesn't realize how much he needs to pay. He keeps wanting and wanting till she comes back and is basically like you need to pay now. He's spent so much that he didn't know that he's broke. So everything was in the end- fake, he loses it and gets delusions. Hence delusional tax. The granting girl left out the whole truth.
Icah I thought it was more of a guy being unsatisfied by his relationship with his girlfriend so he just goes to strippers to make his dreams come true and he constantly goes to them and eventually he wines up becoming absolutely broke from spending his money on them.
I LOVE THIS RACHIE
Why are you so amazing? Your vocals are stunning.
And I love the video, you picked such a good arrange...
And your adlibs sound like proper beyonce backup vocals or something
Stupod this man is fake perfdil
I think the girl in the video is the personification of college...
College-chan is into financial domination.
College needs simps.
Or narcissism
College makes you pay waaaaay more
*me petting my cat* isn’t she a good girl, isn’t she the best one?
この曲のアレンジの仕方好きだわ💕
Y .M それな
カッケェ。アコギバージョンすげー
AHHHH IT'S BEAUTIFUL, I WANT TO DANCE TO IT, CAN I DANCE TO IT?!
I was beginning to tire of practicing the choreo with the original song, but HOOOHHH MAH GAWD, THIS ONE'S GOT ME DANCING LIKE THAAAT. *snaps finger*. Great job! :D
yes!! go ahead!! dance to your heart's delight!!
Hi! So I finally filmed the dance at a con last month (in public, but not on stage or anything xD). The video is on CosStarDance's YT channel if you wanna see. :3
"Waste time dreaming you know it to

I was about to throw my money at the screen until I saw your reminder about finals B(

hi rachie i know you may get comments like these a lot but i want to say ur a really big part of my life, even if we've never interacted. you, juby, and other vocaloid cover artists have made my life so much better than it would have been. when i was a pre-teen, my mom and dad started drinking, and it got really bad. my dad ended up getting fired from his job and we had to live off of a pension. he and mom fought a lot, and it just delved into intense abuse of me and my siblings. the only solace i had was my computer, and when i got into youtube and vocaloid, i wondered if there was people who covered these songs. i finally ended up finding a bunch of different artists, and it took me a while, but i got caught on you and juby. i related to the emotions in the song, and the way you were able to portray it so beautifully with your vocals. when i was fourteen, i came out to my parents as gender non-conforming, and they isolated me from everything. i was only allowed to go to school and home. i wasnt allowed to see my friends. i had no internet anymore. that on top of my extreme depression led to me downing pills. my sister found my and called 911, but i had to have liver surgery. i survived, though, and when i finally got my stuff back, i listened non-stop to you and juby's stuff. my dad is sober now, and my mom still drinks but not as much, and theyre getting divorced because they enabled each other, but... i just wanted you to know how important you and juby were and still are to me and my survival. i turned sixteen just this month! i.... hope you are successful at college!
+Eruren Tho you are such a brave, brave person for saying this and you did not deserve anything that happened to you. i'm so glad my music could help you get through life, but more importantly, i'm really glad you're alive! thank you so much for listening to me and i hope that you have a happier life from here on out!!
I'm so glad everything turned out alright but I hope it'll even turn out better. I'm sure you and your siblings will make it through this. ^^
You are so brave!
hii id like to say that I appplaud you for going through all that and dont give up
XD I got a mix feelings about this... if you're depresed and you listen to Rachie's cover, half which are deep depressing songs, I wonder if listening, to most of Vocaloid songs for that matter, can help. But whatever fam, everyone's equal when it comes to Rachies song.
holy crap rachie
so good
I'M THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN-
rachie, thank you for color my life :") love your voice and almost no one can compared to you. only you and CHiCO can touch my heart with your voices :" keep covering, Rachie. love all of your covers.
声きれいですごい
Thank you so much!!I love how you sang this!!
O gawd. The acoustics were good enough but then you gave me the PV and then that scat in the end xO . You ma'am have made my day.
So Ouran, "And its a lie, lie, lie everything I spoke!"
Tf
Wow rachie. This is really incredible. This is better than most triple A artists. Please keep doing this cuz I'm in love with your music
This is truely amazing! I can't even count how many times I listened to this XD !
But I have one question. I wanted to sing the acoustic version of this song too and I just love your interpretation of this song. So my question is, would it bother you if I covered this version similar to yours? I fell especially for those background vocals.
I love how I am just here being like oh two friends of mine oh hi idk what I am doing
go ahead! ;v;
Do it ♥
+MrsPoppyflower
I always listened to MrsPoppyflowers version, because I am german and then I heard many english versions of this song and was like "nope, ...nope" and then somehow I found this one and was like... omg its so similiar. Like Like Like. :'D
wowiwowi haha thanks for listening to my version! :)
This has grown to be my favorite song ❤
This deserves more views and likes.
One of my favourites from you Rachie.
This song is oh so catchy! I had it stuck in my head during exams and it completely distracted me, though eventually I started using it to help me answer questions. Like making the question go along with the beat.....
Sooooo~ Kyubey?
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that.
+~KIata Moon~
From the magical girl anime?
Is there any other Kyubey?

IT FITS SO WELL
It’s like 4am and I was just like “oh hey imma go listen to vocaloid I haven’t done that in like a year or so” so now I’m here :)
how have i never heard this this is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!
This is so great! Rachie you sound fabulous and Ate's lyrics are great and Zero's mix is awesome!! The art is epic as well
It's been such a long, long time since I've been floored by a cover of anything. (Heck, floored by a song in general) But wow... I can't really say much else considering how breathless I am right now. This is an amazing cover than not only translates the original piece, but improves upon it substantially. Amazing. You've got a new sub for life.
ah im here annually now
at least 2-3 times a year, all on repeat o(-(
Fun fact: discovered this during my own finals week.
Oh man! I love your cover! I rarely like English covers because of the lyrics but yours really fit the song. Your voice blends well with the instruments.
The illustrations and the mixing are great too. :3
So catchy, so catchy~
For some reason I had this song ringing in my head while doing me senior econ final. It actually helped me answer a few questions somehow. Thanks.

*this cover of this voice is so beautiful!*
I love this cover so much!!!
we all pay our delusion tax at some point.
I used this for a project on house on mango street, especially the dirty money and filthy delusions part, in order to relate to a character. In a book called house on mango street
MY HEART I LOVE THIS SONG IM SO HAPPY YOU COVERED THIS
Your voice is so pretty
This sounds fantastic and I love it so much ♥♥♥♥♥
this song is like all college promises combined.
I feel like I should be drinking some coffee while listening to this XD

Madison Cress That and the beat of the music :3

カッコいい✨
井上莉那 だよね
It's so pretty Rachieeee! It sounds fantastic!
I don't know, listening to this in my 20s give a different hit. Wow. The accuracy the lyrics to our life now is ridiculous.
Wow
THIS IS MY FAVE COVER OF THIS SONG YOU ARE AMAZING!
Don't know if anyone else has posted a similar theory; but mine is that someone is obviously suffering from 'delusions', things they want to happen. Their money being taken literally and figuratively, as their money could be other things like happiness or peace of mind. The 'tax' being that in the end it's going to have severe effects on their own life and mind. I believe the taxpayer and the tax collector are different parts of the same mind. Convincing themself that it is in fact, worth it, for the things they want to happen.
They think the taxes are worth the world they want to live in, but in the end when they find it's not worth it, they have no 'money' left to give. 'You'll go beyond the pain so you can get ahead' may refer to them pushing aside the fact it is indeed bad for their health, in exchange for their ideology and thoughts of a better world being real. 'Sipping from a balloon fish', aka a pufferfish, pufferfish are highly toxic and can expand quickly. Sipping from one, maybe thinking it's safe, as it expands and pricks you with it's highly dangerous spines. Or, paying your happiness and home life in exchange for bliss, as you finally accept and realize said bliss isn't happiness, only to have nothing left afterward. This is a really long-shot and hypothetical theory on the meaning, but it is 6am and I stood up all night.
You are so great. I just found you out channel and I love the songs you covered. I know you get lots of comment that says nice things to you and you don't really need to listen to me rambling, so just accept my love to you and hope your channel grows bigger and be successful in the future :3
Still LIT
I really like how this ends, I feel like it's making a point about how people often don't realize they've wasted their life by making bits of paper a priority, until it's too late
"Sipping from a balloon fish!"
What..?
"Money outlives all."
I was wondering when someone was gonna do this.
Good job Rachie
I don't know why, but this one gives me hope
I am actually in love with this cover. Seriously. I'm going to marry it
Esto fue muy hermoso, me enamore de tu voz! :D
it gets deeper after heartbreak
This is the first time I've been fully satisfied with an English cover.
I love her voice so much! ^_^
Can't believe I just see this noow, it's soooo goood
I only recently started watching your videos, because of the duets you've done with Juby. But you indeed have a lovely voice!
Can someone give me their thoughts on what the song means or is saying? Is it about people spending money on things they don't need just to look rich/important?
My interpretation is that it's mostly about college tuition. Racking up debt for delusions, having nothing to show, deciding your future, paving a road etc.
I interpreted it as...kinda making a deal with the lovesick devil.
"My love is your sweet obligation."
"I can make it come true."
"I did all of this for you."
It kinda made me think of it that way.
That moment when you go to subscribe and realise you've been subscribed for like a year.
Yo this songs so addictive
恰好良い！
i love your voice so much holy shit
When I first heard rachie's voice the first thing that came to my mind is that she can voice a disney princess
This is literally god work
I reallylove this song ! i sang at a singing contest anf won! Ratchie, i really love your songs! please make more parodies! ( like kagamine Rin n and Len)
I want to say, I love your voice. It is beautiful, and I can't wait to hear more of it, if you continue to produce these.
You and hamnets are the best covers.
This song is all I've been listening for two days straight...

I was looking for English covers of vocaloid songs and this caught my eye because I thought is said tax deduction
"Cash is your best friend" ;)
Love this one! :D
I loved this
omg RACHIE !!!!~ This is amazing I fell in love as soon as I heard it haha !!!!! You seem to cover every song I love and I thank you lots !!!!! ^0^/

This is amazing! Good job! :D
