Desert Bluebird

"If I’m with you surely it can be overcome."

―Older Brother^[src]

Desert Bluebird is a song released on July 7, 2010 in the EXIT TUNES' Supernova 3 album and later uploaded with a PV by Akuno-P two days later. The story follows two siblings as they hunt for a mystical blue bird. While ostensibly set in Lucifenia, it bears no apparent connection to the Evillious Chronicles.

Description[]

NicoNico

A civilization destroyed by a disaster, a world rapidly becoming a desert. In such a world live two twins: an older brother and a younger sister. The older brother's dream was 'to do something that will shake the world someday'. One day, they met a shabbily dressed old woman. She said that somewhere out there was a 'blue bird' with the power to save the world. The siblings went out on a journey. To search for the 'blue bird'.

Plot[]

In the distant future where civilization is all but wiped out, a brother and sister are looking for a bluebird, sure they can weather any disasters together. They meet an old woman who tells them of a bluebird that has the power to fulfill any wish and asks them to find it. If found, the bluebird could save the world. They set off, "packing their car full of hope" in search of the bluebird. After a long journey, they find it inside a Lucifenian state-run factory, perilous to humans due to high radiation. While the brother is too hesitant to go inside, the girl "packs her heart full of courage" and enters the building in his stead.

She then retrieves the bluebird, only to suffer and die from the radiation. Discovering this, the brother begs the bluebird to restore his sister, and the bluebird disappears as the girl wakes up again. The two walk ahead and find themselves near a blue ocean at the end of the world. It is there where the world will be rebuilt by the hands of its inhabitants. At the end of the PV, on the screen is shown, "The Desert Bluebird is a miracle."

Lyrics[]

砂の中　埋もれた世界
僕らは探しているんだ　青い鳥
辛くても　君と一緒なら
きっと乗り越えられる

文明の滅んだこの世界
僕ら兄妹の前に現れた老婆の頼みごと
「世界を救うための青い鳥
見つけ出してほしい」

それは砂漠の BLUE BIRD
突然委ねられた世界の行く末
車に希望を詰め込んで
僕達の旅が始まった

青い鳥　それは伝説
あらゆる願いを叶えてくれる奇跡
長い旅　僕らは見つけた
青い鳥の居場所

崩れかけた巨大な建物
決して踏み入れてはいけないと　恐れている人々
躊躇する僕の為に君は
一人で駆け出した

何か起きればいつも僕の
背中で震えていた怖がりな妹
心に勇気を詰め込んで
君は建物に入っていく

砂の中　埋もれた世界
君は見つけ出したんだ　青い鳥
腕の中　目を閉じている君
もう目覚めることはない

「核」で汚染されていた施設
失ったものはあまりにも大きい
僕は青い鳥に願った

君は再び目を覚ます
青い鳥はどこかへ消え去った

君と僕　歩いたその先
辿り着いた世界の果て
そこには青くて広い…
海があった

全てはこれから始まるんだ
自分たちの手で世界を作りなおすんだ
辛くても　君と一緒なら
きっと乗り越えられる

砂漠の青い鳥 DESERT BLUE BIRD
それは奇跡

DESERT BLUE BIRD
Sore wa kiseki

In the world buried in sand
We’ve been searching for the blue bird
Even though it’s painful, if I’m with you
Surely it can be overcome

In this world with civilization destroyed
Before us siblings an old woman appeared with a favor
“In order to save the world, I want you to
Locate the blue bird

That’s the desert BLUE BIRD
Suddenly we were entrusted with the fate of the world
Packing our hopes in the car
Our journey began

Blue bird, that’s a legend
A miracle that could grant every wish
After a long journey, we discovered
The blue bird’s location

An enormous, crumbled building
There were people who feared that it shouldn’t be walked in
For the sake of the hesitant me, you
Ran in alone

If something happened, my timid little sister
Would always tremble at my back
Packing courage into your heart
You enter the building

In the world buried in sand
You discovered it, the bluebird
In your arms, with your eyes shut,
You won’t be waking up again

A facility polluted with “nuclear radiation”
What I had lost was too much
I wished to the blue bird

Your eyes open once again
The blue bird vanished somewhere

I walked with you beyond then
We finally reached the far end of the world
There was a blue and vast…
…Ocean

Everything will begin from here
We’ll rebuild the world with our own hands
Even though it’s painful, if I’m with you
Surely it can be overcome

DESERT BLUE BIRD
It’s a miracle

Trivia[]

Conceptualization and Origin[]

In French folklore, the bluebird represents enduring happiness and is the origin of the phrase, "bluebird of happiness"; Lucifenia, the country the song is set in, is inspired by France.
In Native American folklore, the Sun's firstborn son was named Bluebird and the animal was believed to be a spirit associated with the rising sun, possibly alluding to the sun over the ocean toward the song's end.
The song's plot also may be inspired by the play The Blue Bird (L'Oisea bleu) by Maurice Maeterlinck, telling the story of a girl, Mytyl, and her brother, Tyltyl, who try finding the "bluebird of happiness".

Curiosities[]

The emblem of Lucifenia appears in the song, albeit more elaborate than its other depictions.
It is hypothesized in Entr'acte of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Worldguide that the song probably occurs in a parallel world, noting that the country of Lucifenia became part of the USE in EC 878.
The PV features silhouetted skylines of New York City, New York, Seattle, Washington, and London, England.
The earth god Held appeared as a bluebird when confronting Nemesis Sudou and Allen Avadonia after the Third Period was destroyed.^[1]
