That's because the song is basically Margaret taking the piss out of Travis, insulting who he is and what he stands for. Travis ended the first game with a peace of mind that killing isn't something that should be enjoyed, however when Bishop was killed he let himself succumb to murderous rage. As far as Margaret is concerned, that makes him a hypocrite using revenge to justify murder.

It's a song about taunting Travis Touchdown's actions in participating in the UAA, calling him a hypocrite, saying that he thinks he's a hero but looking back on what he's done (killing assassins, motivated by revenge, lust for sex), he's become anything BUT a hero. Man, if Travis heard this song as he fought Margaret, he would be utterly pissed.

Simple fact that, at the end of the fight, Margaret is just happy that someone was able to listen to one of her songs and remember it gets me every time. And Travis whistling it as he leaves shows that under the wise-ass bravado, he does have the capacity to be kind and considerate, especially to someone who gave him a great fight.

This song is basically The reason you suck speech to Travis. Calling him a hypocrite about revenge that pursuing revenge makes him noble, that he is not a real hero for pursuing it, and his anger doesn't make him a good man. A tiger in disguise refernce to his darkside power but calls him a Pussy (cat). Also a swipe at him being a weeboo, lolicon otaku She even devotes a line to make a dig at Travis' otaku perversions. Philistine means one who does not pursue intellectual needs. This is geared at how Travis only wants to see people die and not consider that they are also people.

Gotta be the only person on Earth who prefers this version, don't get me wrong the instrumentation on the JP version is superior, but the sheer levels of autotune really lose the melody in parts I feel, and the main draw to the song is its catchiness, which is conveyed better with the clearer vocals in this version. They're both really good though, whenever there's two versions of something people tend to over-accentuate how 'awful' the other version is. Got no clue what people mean by 'off tune' or 'off key', like if she is actually singing off-key, the dissonance is working REALLY well for her cause this sounds phenomenal.

I listen to this once, and now I can't stop myself from replaying this at least 20 times a day.

Most comments are just fawning over Travis Touchdown (that last name still sounds ridiculous), but instead of talking about him, I want to write a comment about the singer, Nadia Gifford. I find it very depressing that she's not more popular over here, and most of her music is exclusive to Japan. She did an amazing job singing the songs for Coriander "Connie" from Steambot Chronicles, and then on here singing this song for Margaret. She seriously needs more Western exposure, because she's got a damn good English singing voice. Like Nadia Gifford, her English is so good you could barely tell she's Japanese. That said, English or not, I just want more of her music because she has a great voice and huge talent.

Honestly, I prefer this version. Dat bass. :D
