Terpsichora Lyrics (English Translation) – M4rkim

Meaning of ‘Terpsichora (English Translation)’ Lyrics Explained

Introduction Meaning:
The singer is simply declaring their identity, stating their name is Neferpitou.

Verse 1 Meaning:
I was created as part of the Royal Guard, a select group of powerful beings, and I intend to prove my worth and identity as the Queen intended. You can just call me Neferpitou. I’m waiting for the new King to be born so I can start my purpose. My own immense power is complex, so I’ll just learn about your power by killing and dissecting you to study it.

Pre-Chorus Meaning:
I need to figure out just how incredibly strong I am. I have to test out my own abilities and see their limits. When I use my claws, you’ll feel the pain. I have a hunch that I might be a formidable fighter.

Chorus Meaning:
I am completely devoted to serving my King. As long as I, the guard, stand in the King’s shadow and am prepared to fight and serve until the very end, no one will be able to touch or harm the King. I command my power, Terpsichora, to move and act now.

Verse 2 Meaning:
Because the power known as Nen is fueled by a user’s will, I use my immense will and strong Nen to try and fix or heal things. This way, I can engage in a truly serious fight later. My specific Nen ability, or Hatsu, is called Doctor Blythe, which is the act of molding my Nen into a healing puppet. The momentous day is here—the King is born! I finally get to witness the incredible power of His Majesty. Saving the Queen is now pointless and irrelevant; she has served her purpose and is useless now that the King is here.

Bridge Meaning:
All of you other Chimera Ants, look! Our King has been born and will rule the world; this whole world belongs to him. My purpose, given to me by the Queen, is to serve him. My claws and my Nen are all at your disposal, King. I am your loyal protector. You can eat as much as you want to satisfy your hunger. My duty as part of the Royal Guard is simply to do anything you desire or command of me.

Verse 3 Meaning:
I’m starting to understand the logic behind all the conquests and why the King’s strength increases the more he consumes. Humans are nothing but a massive problem, like a pestilence or plague. I can even manipulate the president of their country; he’s completely under my control. The ultimate goal is to control the entire human population and transform them all into soldiers for the King. Humans attacked us, so they deserve whatever happens. Now, all you lower-ranking ants, your task is to hunt down and completely destroy the specified targets.

Bridge Meaning:
There is a small human girl here, and the King is completely fixated on her—a situation I disagree with and refuse to accept. Because of this girl, the King is becoming unfocused and confused. All Chimera Ants, listen to the King’s new orders! Look at the great strength and power the King possesses and how he is growing. With the “garden of flesh” now finished, this will start a new era for all of us. I have a powerful gut feeling, an instinct, that something dangerous is coming. But even when I expand my Nen power as far as I can, I can’t pinpoint the threat’s location. Still, something is approaching. I don’t sense anyone, but my instinct tells me to look up. Now, I understand what is happening.

Verse 4 Meaning:
An enemy attack is beginning—they are invading the palace! I need to calm down, take a breath, and focus on the battle plan. The strongest person, without a doubt, is the one positioned at the very top. I must suppress my own fighting urges and focus on the plan. My specific mission now is to execute that person. I activate my power, Terpsichora, the threads that emerge from me. Now, I’m fully engaging in assault mode. Oh no, I misjudged the situation; that old man is extremely powerful. I have to expand my Nen across the entire castle, creating an aura of death to protect the King. The King has commanded me to heal the little girl, and I will obey. My own suffering doesn’t matter; all I care about is following the King’s orders. So, young boy, you have to wait patiently. Since you waited, I will be truthful with you. Gon, about your friend Kaito, it’s already far too late to save him. But I can’t let you leave here without fighting you first. This boy’s powerful aura suggests he could hurt His Majesty. Therefore, I must attack you with every ounce of my strength, Gon. You may leave this place, but you will leave as a dead person.

Verse 5 Meaning:
I am carrying out the protective duty that my instincts compelled me to do. I’m actually happy to be the person who has to fight you. I was the one who inadvertently brought this incredibly powerful monster into existence. It’s a relief that the dagger of the enemy wasn’t aimed at the King instead. I am commanding my Nen: no matter what happens to my physical body, Terpsichora, you must keep moving my body, even if my head is severed.

Chorus Meaning:
I am completely devoted to serving my King. As long as I, the guard, stand in the King’s shadow and am prepared to fight and serve until the very end, no one will be able to touch or harm the King. I command my power, Terpsichora, to move and act now.
