Boat

Boat

 * 1 "The Scuba物語 (monogatari, “tale; story; legend”) from P-Model’s Scuba album seems to contain a short story for each Scuba song. In the story for “Boat”, a young man named Succhan sets out on a journey and encounters another tribe of people who eat anyone that doesn’t look like them. They devour Succhan, and find him to be so tasty that they decide to hunt down the rest of his tribe and eat them, too. Luckily, Succhan’s tribe hears about this beforehand and is able to avoid a crisis by taking on the forms of the invading tribe, confusing them. Succhan’s tribe then decides to keep these forms indefinitely for fear of another invasion. It’s likely that “the trouble” mentioned is this song is reference to that incident."
 * 2 "沈んだ (shizunda), past tense of 沈んむ (shizumu, “to sink; feel depressed”) can mean either “sunk(en)” or “gloomy.” I translated this line with the second meaning in mind."
