DJ Project

It is absolutely brutal to go through the lyrics of DJ Project's songs. Before I read the English translation of the different songs, I just thought of them as being great dance melodies or pumping music. But now... the lyrics are disturbing me intensely.

Selection of DJ Project's lyrics in Romanian and their English translations:

Selected music videos (the videos aren't that interesting, but I adore the melody of the songs):

Esti tot ce am

Soapte

Doua anotimpuri

Inca o noapte

Lacrimi de înger

Privirea ta

Story | Evil Thoughts and Consequences

This must be karma.
Yesterday I was having bad and evil thoughts,
and today my life was being messed up.

Remember to be a good person.
Eat less meat gradually and believe in healthy living with vegetarianism.

Story | Evil Thoughts

I feel bad having extraordinary and unusual thoughts about you.
I am not supposed to.
You only belong to history.
The present you is not the past you.
What should I do?
I absolutely feel very bad about myself, thinking about you.
Evilness is embedded within my tiny body.

Story | Two Years

Two years ago I bought myself a round trip ticket to New York City sometime before Christmas break.

Two years afterward I bought myself a round trip ticket to Bucharest sometime before Christmas break.

I wonder where will I buy myself a round trip ticket to in two years coming?

random thought from Seoul II

Seoul once more.

In a way I'm glad my flight from Rome to Incheon is two hours late. That deducts two hours of my waiting time in the Incheon airport, leaving only an hour of gap time.

Instead of simply transferring in Korea, will I actually leave the airport and visit here one day?

random thought from Bucharest

Finally I'm at Bucureşti, România.

People should really come here.

It's more interesting than you think it is.

Story | Past and Present II

It is awful to compel yourself to revisit the past. Even sometimes the history was pleasant or glorious. Being forced, by various factors, to travel back in memory is a severe experience. Those things once, or still, impacted you would get refresh. You realized how much you have changed from then to now. Intense moments would once replay in your mind, commanding you to reflect upon your doing.

The present is simply an extension of the past. The future is the accumulation of the past and present. Things will repeat themselves, forever and ever.

Story | Past and Present

We always believe in things that are no longer present. Maybe in the past it was not the correct time to do certain things, so we maintain the thought and archive it for later. However, even after many years, we continue to believe in the idea, thinking that it’s constant and forever. Then of course, at precise moments possibly with ideal criteria, we finally get to transform the dream into reality.

Things changed.

People changed.

We still hold the exact same dream, or at least a fragment of it. Trying hard to complete the task that is no longer purposeful nor significant to ourselves or others.

Story | Sublime

Sublime does not happen randomly. It only occurs due to various reasons and knowledge. The subjects and objects have to be in place, in additional to the existence of right context and time. Also, after that split of second, things would shot down deep, back to their ordinary performance.

Only under extensive circumstances that sublime appears twice or more. This is very rare though. Even it manages to excel more than once consecutively. Little details would change or modify themselves, unnoticeable under our vision.

Don’t anticipate that sublime will come. You will just have to wait and see. Hoping that it will shine upon you out of expectance.

Story | Trip to the City

Killing two birds with one stone. Ending two stories with one city.

But the thing is, I don't want the stories to end. At least not like this. Not at a shitty, unimportant moment like now. One of the stories had been living within me since the fantasy-like summer from three years ago. It started like a mid-summer night’s dream, except it was experienced in person. The other inhabited my mind from the initial visit of that crazy art museum with numerous intersecting ramps. The celestial body occasionally darkens and fades into ghost shadows, but sparkles as soon as wavelengths are sent through fiber optics. I know as soon as I enter the city, it would mean I have to unload and deliver conclusions for the stories.

I’m wondering if it is possible to extend my narratives. Like supplying infinity amount of addendum to the chronicles.

Story | Paper Crane

Have you felt like you are bonded with a place intensely, even though you never went there before, nor you have any family background relation to it? The place would give you a sense of eeriness yet comfort. When you think about it, an indescribable passionate emotion would just rise inside your mind, making you go into the stage of ecstasy.

Because of a particular person, you made a hope deep in your heart, saying to yourself that one day you will make your way into that city. No one could stop you from achieving your goal. You just had to do it; it was simply the matter of time. Even at times you had lost the passion for the person, it still felt like the story will never come to an end officially, unless you decided to visit the city, and placed a final conclusion to that specific chapter of your life.

This is how life goes. At least mine.
Everything needs to be wrapped up properly.

Story | Film-maker

Bubbly pink fluffy cloud is producing mini bubbly pink fluffy cloud.

This is surprising.
No, not really.

Was the cotton candy to be found only in your memory?
What about the bunny? The bunny that only runs around the dark, black death ground.

But I guess only the teddy bear matters in the contemporary.
Or at least for this split of the second.

.
.
.

Everything gives people very awkward feeling.

I am not even involved.
I am just a bystander with a film recorder.
Documenting upon my impression and interpretation.

Story | Facing Consumption

Is is natural to have mixed feeling now?

There is a very weird, powerful, intense emotion surging and revolving in my mind.

My person is not even there.
I only checked the flight schedule online,
and started asking people for places to see.

This is so hard. Harder than making a decision between the two worlds.
Hard to swallow.
Hard to think about it.
Hard to disgust all the forces.

Difficult.

Yet everything is only symbolic and metaphysical.

Why am I experiencing such heavy consumption within myself?
