Dragalia Lost With A Distinct Lack of Context:

(Honestly all of Chitose's lines in this story qualify but I digress)

(Honestly, part two, all of Mym's stories are a goldmine for this and I actively have to restrain myself from showing all of it)

Update April 2024

Wow it has been a while since I posted original content. I still love re blogging any Dragalia Fanart so fanartists please keep them coming!

I think I have stopped lyrics translation for about 2 years already and honestly I have to admit it is because I know my translations are not accurate and I know it can be tiring to keep hearing about this so this will be the last time.

I have decided that this blog and all my translations are personal to me, it is a project I wish to see to its end and on the way bring happiness to others nostalgic for the Dragalia Soundtrack. There are just so many good vocal tracks it is a shame how hard it is to find the lyrics. If there are official lyrics I will post them in the description so please have fun interpreting them as well and the song's meaning will become your own just like how my translations are mine.

I do not know when the lyrics video will be but I will be using the same format as Eat Sleep Escape and may update some of the older ones to make them more readable that way.

Thanks again for your support!

PS i am a working adult now so there is no need to donate to my kofi anymore. I sincerely appreciate those that have been donating despite my lack of activity and I'm sorry i do not individually thank you guys but I really appreciate it.

Dragalia Lost Stranded Scions Event Song:

Eat Sleep Escape

Vocals: ano Lyrics: ano Composition: TAKU INOUE Arrangement: TAKU INOUE Translation + Video: HazeintheDaze

Image: taken from archive of official Dragalia Lost twitter event promotion art

As usual the lyrics in the video are written to be synced to the song, the more accurate translation is below. I really like the repeated use of alliteration which is hard to be captured with a direct translation.

You can listen to the song on spotify so do support the release

More accurate translation

This restless world makes me feel dizzy I wish for it to end Rolling up all the drunken words into a tube

Oh look, another advice that completely missed the point I say byebye I open my third eye come come It's almost twilight I just want to sleep more See you later Time's up

I'm tired of the same old stories My calories have vanished What shall I eat

I'm at top gear, but I'm not doing anything Plus a nice wind Almost almost zero low speeds we run Now eat, sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm at top gear, but running at maximum speed is a pointless dream Just leave it as it is and say good bye to it Now escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Eat, sleep, escape hey

Eat, sleep, escape

Using the top of the line top gear but I won't do anything Plus a nice wind Almost almost zero low speeds we run Now eat, sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm at top gear, but running at maximum speed is a pointless dream I'll leave it as it is and melt away Now escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Goodbye goodbye

Eat sleep repeat Eat sleep escape

Video Lyrics

Restless listless endlessly turning world A dizzy gaze How I just want it to end

Rubbish sluggish drunken words Rolled into a tube

Another advice that has totally missed the point Let's wave a bye bye Open my third eye Perceive the lies lies It’s almost twilight I wanna sleep some more, see ya The time's up

Tired living the same old stories Dissolved and gone the calories burnt I wonder what I’ll eat today

Gears shift to high, but nothing has been done Plus one good breeze Almost almost zero, low speed has set Now eat, sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Gears shift to high, but max speed’s just a dream That you cannot reach Just leave it as it is and say goodbye to it And escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Eat, sleep, escape hey

Eat, sleep, escape

Best gears have shift to high, but I’m not gonna move Plus one good breeze Almost almost zero, low speed has set Come eat, sleep

Gears set to high, but max speed is a pointless dream to chase for me Just leave it all behind and melt away and fade Let's escape

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Goodbye to you, goodbye to you

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Eat sleep repeat Eat sleep escape

Dragalia's Knights of Glory art

Now, it's been gone over how Dragalia Lost actually used quite a bit of inspiration from one of Cygames' previous works, Knights of Glory, for anything from character designs to dragons.

Of course, this showed up quite literally with characters like Lea when they quite literally just had the "Knights of Glory" showcase, but it also showed up in characters ranging from Jakob to Mikoto to Jurota (also showcasing the alighting butterfly blade, also in Dragalia):

However funny it is to see who we came to know as different characters in a different media, though, the dragons are 10x funnier to look at.

You see, it seemed that Knights of Glory had a certain 'evolution system' to dragons, where they'd develop and grow more fancy, if they weren't inexplicably transforming into an attractive humanoid woman because of course-

And oh boy, we can kinda see alternative evolutionary paths for the Greatwyrms.

There's Midgardsormr, who seems to most closely resemble the fully evolved form from the start...(he also gained an element, as this dragon line apparently has no element!)

Mercury, who is in her middle phase:

Imagine a hydra Mercury!

...Brunhilda? Not very sure on this one. She might just be a new design, but here's my best guess for what dragon they might have been inspired from:

Of course, in her 'final form' if this was a dragon they used as inspiration.

Jupiter, whom I'd almost put in his middle stage for closeness of design:

Last but not least, poor Zodiark, who really got hammered with the skeletal dragon design and is also in his middle stage and is also drooling 24/7:

Where is his stomach? Where are his organs? Why is he bipedal?? He lost some bulk in his transition to Dragalia, too. Honestly, I like Dragalia Zodiark more than his inspiration here.

That's enough of full evolutionary trees for now, though.

Some other funny ones to me include:

-Silke turning into a skeletal horse on her final evolution:

-Baby Leviathan going :-D all the time:

-Baby Poseidon (honestly a lot of the babies are funny since we only knew their final forms, typically);

-Possibly Cat Sìth inspiration???

-Baby Zephyr:

-Baby Nidhogg, sitting all prim and proper and ready to watch Euden die still:

-Teenage...Satan? Having a evil little :) face going on there...

Speaking of, quite a few of the dragons were actually repurposed into bosses, as with Satan above, like everyone's favorite:

(We must not let Phraeganoth be revived! ...Until Bondforged Zethia's story, at least).

Might be a stretch here, but maaaaaybe a bit of Kai Yan in here?

The Hypnos/Thanatos/Mega Monarch Emile line's general design:

This is getting long enough as it is, but if you want to see a mix of some old with a lot of new art that they might have used as inspiration for more dragons/adventurers, here's the link I used to the collections of KoG artwork that people were able to preserve:

Hopefully you find it just as interesting and funny as I did perusing the old art!
