Whatever happens, we will make it through.

Lyrics:

You say you don't feel special Well, I think you are You, the shining star The protagonist of our adventure Here is where your journey finally will start So, my dear, take heart I know the world's been torture Walk with me, talk with me Tell me everything You've walked with me, you've talked with me I know what it will bring Cause I know you say I have a way of making you feel in control…

So care to join a cult? (amorem dare promittimus) Care to sell your soul? (spem tibi dare pollicemur) Best swallow your pride Say you're along for the ride It is do or die or don't (nihil aeternum)

If you think that you would be more comfortable Making me your idol Than being on your own Whatever the toll Very well, then care to join a cult? (dilectus tuus te maxime laedet)

Sweetheart, please, You know you're only of worth if you're on your knees If when the siren's singing you sing harmonies Sometimes what you hold closest are your enemies Like a disease Oh, sweetheart, see Do you value free will over community? If not, then darling welcome to the family Prove you are worth your individuality Or state your plea

Come child, confess your sins What I hear is how it begins Isn't it easier, and breezier, to give up control? (libertatem invitat damnum)

So care to join a cult? (amorem dare promittimus) Care to sell your soul? (spem tibi dare pollicemur) Best swallow your pride Say you're along for the ride It is do or die or don't (nihil aeternum)

If you think that you would be more comfortable Making me your idol Than being on your own Whatever the toll Very well, then care to join a cult? (dilectus tuus te maxime laedet)

Cause you say you don't feel special, But I think we are We are shining stars Protagonists in our adventures Here is where your journey with us plays its part So, my dear, take heart,

You will be all alone out there Do you think anyone will care? You're leaving? No, that isn't fair To you or me or anyone And all the people you have left Will never know your hidden depth Returning there will be your death You're disappointing everyone

And I know that you would be more comfortable Making me your idol Than being on your own And I know it will seem impossible Our will, unstoppable Compared to yours alone And I know they'll say I'm reasonable While you're irrational You'll have much to atone So just don't go Whatever the toll.

Enemies or lovers? It's hard to guarantee.

[lyrics below the cut:]

And I will be, the cold embrace of death (And I will be, the fire in your chest) I'll be there waiting when there's nothing left (I'll let you say that you're not like the rest) And I will be, the thought you can't run from (And I will be, the name upon your tongue) I'll wait and watch, whatever you become (I'll be re-said, and have your will undone) And I will be the blade upon your neck (And I will be the gun aimed at your head) And I could cut you at any moment (And I could fire twice, make sure you're dead) And I will be the ash upon the street (And I will be the sight you had to see) And you will be forever incomplete (And you will be forever wanting me)

Eat/Meet me whole or carve your name Or sell your soul to win our game Lick your wounds to try to sate The burning, numbing, pressing weight Or, hold my corpse, and make your claim But then of course, that's not the same It's all intense in the suspense The action and the consequence

And I will be the whisper in your ear (And I will be the fault within the mirror) The eyes in night, the one you know is near (The thing that no one else is seeing clearer) And I will be the blood still running cold (And I will be the end's enticing call) Your beating heart demanding you be bold (Your will to stand, to run, to rise and fall) Haunting, daunting, taunting, wanting Facing, pacing, racing, chasing You will be the teeth and be the meat

Meet/Eat me whole or carve your name Or sell your soul to win our game Lick your wounds to try to sate The burning, numbing, pressing weight Or, hold my corpse, and make your claim But then of course, that's not the same It's all intense in the suspense In the offense and the defence So, you devour all you can A hunger for all that I am The fangs that bite, the claws that rake An ouroboros, curling snake And in my shadow you're the shade And in my heart you are the blade It's all intense in the suspense The action and the consequence

And I will be your enemy (And you'll be all that's left of me) And I will be eternity (And I will be your enemy) And you'll be all that's left of me (And you will be eternity) And you will be my enemy (And you will be my enemy)

Eat/Meet me whole to carve your name With all your soul within our game Wrap your wounds and take my bait Out of the speed of your heartrate And, hold me close, a grave mistake Your appetite for me to take It's all intense in the suspense The action and the consequence So you devour all you can A hunger for all that I am The fangs that bite, or make their claim But then of course, it's all the same To, wield the knife or take the blade To be my light or be my shade It's all intense, after suspense The action and the consequence

Are you better playing dumb?

And at the end of the day, you think to yourself, "My body is a product being sold on the shelf"

[athy-art]

Are you better playing dumb?

polarity noun po·​lar·​i·​ty pō-ˈler-ə-tē

1: the quality or condition inherent in a body that exhibits opposite properties or powers in opposite parts or directions or that exhibits contrasted properties or powers in contrasted parts or directions…

2: attraction toward a particular object or in a specific direction

Lyrics:

If it was ever unclear Well, what's wrong with a little mystery If it was ever unfair It was only because it had to be And you could say, so much for birds of a feather But you only see the stars in the fairest weather And you could say, I just needed to rise and go further But I still felt the need to say

That if you felt unaware Never fear, you haven't lost sight of me I'm not about to disappear Or at least, I won't permanently And I truly think that things will get better That the day will come where I will feel stellar But the world goes blurry, and I lose my tether Days where nothing feels real, and I have no center Still I have to remain, a shell with a spectre Still I have to remain, and try to cool my temper Still I have to remain, whether it's magic, or whether It's tragic…but I can't be your shelter

So if this was what you fear I suppose this is polarity I'm happy to remain here Even happy to be a remedy But I can't shout down the heartbeat, the tremor I've got problems to solve, I'll have to be clever And if I fail, revolve, then I am not lesser I'm just trying, and so are we all

To look into our own mirror Find a star, make it shine gently Let constellations appear The lights wander eventually If it was ever unclear Then find your own truth, gradually If it was ever unfair Well, it doesn't always have to be

And I'd love to say I'm well held together But even if I was, that won't be the case forever And the world's an unpredictable clamor Filled with constant noise, an unending blather Maybe there'll be a day I return to being tender Spend another hundred years just trying to be kinder In the back of my mind there's always a whisper "You're not doing enough, you have to try harder" And then what's left of me, defined as a quitter When all my thoughts scream, thought I could scream louder Then I march on again, one day, then another Then the night, then the day, again, an all nighter I was meant to ascend, instead, I spiral downward I was meant to pretend, was meant to be better I was meant to be something shining much brighter I was meant to be, but I can't be a shelter Anymore Could we do it together Or am I a chore if I say I cannot be the same That I can't be a place, that I feel out of place That I have no space That there's nothing to store

Could we be a shelter From the storm Could it be the protector For the core Could we be any kinder Than we are Could any be a shelter For a star

This is a song I wrote a few months ago, folks on Tumblr have already gotten an audio file for this song, and it's about time you folks got the video for it.

Circumstances in my life were keeping me up at night. Music has been my coping mechanism through a lot of the things that are stressing me out, and I figured that if I was up anyway I might as well do something that I could easily sink into. And then the ideas just kept flowing and flowing.

May it comfort you through your own trying times 🖤

Lyrics:

The credits roll With heart and soul But not every goal was won The story ends You're among friends And yet you carry on You've come of age You've turned the page And yet soon comes the dawn If you thought free, a finale would spawn

Oh this too shall pass Though how long it lasts Is taking a toll Oh this too shall pass But don't make the mistake And think it's not part of the whole

You thought yourself A story shelved Yet the words are reread The world replays Though nothing stays As the paths are retread,

You shall pass Though how long it lasts Is taking a toll Oh this too shall pass But don't make the mistake And think it's not part of the whole Cause this too shall pass Just have to outlast Not overcontrol This too shall pass Don't shatter like glass Just let the waves roll

[athy-art]

omg hello!! great to have you!!

What do you get when you cross dissociation-core techno-religion with fusion jazz whisper-rapping? What do you get when you put an attack roomba with a fursona and Azura-Fire-Emblem-ass mech girl in the same room?

This, I'd hope.

Lyrics:

All aboard Oh, I have a lot in store And I know you simply adore When I put it to words So all aboard The otherwise ignored Oh since you asked for more I'll give you this, you're heard

You're scrambling, clinging, seeking, a hidden meaning I'm showing, I'm knowing it, while you're Receiving singing, pleading, say it's me you're needing Not leaving, cause I've been petty for far less so

All aboard Do you like your nights dark and stormy? For we are the conductors here, and over you, we reign So all aboard You've damaged the train car's core, see But we are the conductors here, and trainwreck's not our game All aboard! All aboard! All aboard! All aboard!

To the train track you're tied Just another victim of vengeance no longer alive On the train track we ride The fare for the next stop we go to, an eye for eye Down the track long paved No one aboard knows how long that the journey will take Still we're both aboard the train For on the train track of revenge, no one is saved To the train track you're tied Just another victim of vengeance no longer alive On the train track we ride The fare for the next stop we go to, an eye for eye Down the track long paved No one aboard knows how long that the journey will take Still we're both aboard the train For on the train track of revenge, you dig two graves.

Doing a bit of catch up on posting music over here for November <3

Yeah, I still think about these robots.

The idea of this started out as being a track for a beginning level in the theoretical story I have for these four, and just became me experimenting with a bunch of stuff. Kind of vapor-wavey, kind of beach-y, and according to the friends I sent previews of this track to, sounds like it's straight out of Celeste.

[song-writer-melo-wrath]

This too shall pass.

[song-writer-melo-wrath]

Just have to outlast.

[song-writer-melo-wrath]

The cage, with human soul and parts.

Me, listening to The Dark Truth when it plays: Woah, this is really spooky and hard-hitting. It's almost a shame we'll only hear this song in this moment, but I'm really glad it's here. Me, listening to Dark Place: Oh my god?

Man, oh man. Chapter 4, huh. I still have some stuff with Chapter 3's OST that I'd like to have fun with, but Dark Place really just called out to me. It's one of those pieces that makes me wish I could just keep listening, and that's where a lot of this arrangement comes from. The leitmotif weaving is very self-indulgent here, but hey, sometimes that's the thing you do for joy.

Also, this is a test to see if Tumblr will actually let me post videos, it hasn't been letting me do that for months, so if you can see this, reposting would mean to lot to me, thank you <3

Hello again, people who found me through Legend of Zelda.

This started out as two ideas. The chromatic scale walkdown on the string quartet was its own thing, at first. I knew I wanted Riju to have something regal and imposing. When I realized that those two ideas combined together perfectly, the string quartet became a core part of the song. I think it really took off from there.

Lyrics:

Prosperity, Dexterity, has kept us golden but We know from experience such treasure is stolen Time for a strategy, to take our aim The strife to our city it is a moth to a flame In the hearts of a warrior's calling As land rose, see the sand started falling Across the desert we see the dead rise It's down to the wire, and time to galvanize Let the sisterhood follow my lead In times of trouble it's calm that we need You notch an arrow I follow it with crackling Even undead in their fight fall to lightning History could be repeating again So we look to the myth, let it lead to the end You take the first step, I'm sure to follow Side by side we descend into the hollow

And if you ever need me, I'll be There in a flash, Searching through the past We are thunder you and I Knowing the sands of time, I am sure they're on our side We'll win the fight, with Gerudo might We will soon deter the swarm From the desert born No fear, we will reform These intruders will know The wrath of a storm.

Blood red, stained upon our glory Your descent was never worthy Our legacy is passed down through tears Through tens of hundreds of thousands of millions of years Let the desert find a claim Your complacency is why you are to blame We'll find a purchase, just look to the horizon I welcome you to a world dyed crimson To the kingdom of Hyrule, take heed Among such cowardice the strong will succeed! We are an army in every generation Every blow you make has a ramification History here in the world is defined We will rise to the role of the great and divine You try to run, but you know I will follow Come to the dunes and the hills, you'll be swallowed

And if you ever see me, I'll be Strong in a clash, Resolving the past Here the thunder, hear my cry Feel the sands of time How quickly they slip by We'll win the fight, with Gerudo might And you know, you have been warned Many you will mourn While we will be reborn You imbeciles will know The wrath of a storm

Now, do not quaver We must not waver Time we be braver Than all those before No do not stutter Or let doubt mutter And face the utter Monstrosity on the higher floor No, do not quaver We must not waver Time we be braver Than all those before No do not stutter Or let doubt mutter With one another We will stand tall, for

If you ever need me Oh, if you ever need me, I'll be There in a flash, Searching through the past We are thunder you and I Know the lightning's mine, At a call, I'm at your side We'll win the fight, with our might combined This a vow, that I have sworn From the past reborn No fear, we will reform At your call, they will know The wrath of a storm.

This is a song I first started writing October of last year. It was another song based on a dream I had, so I did a bit of drawing for this to replicate some of the things that happened in said dream, as well as some other things that correlate to the song. When I completed the first draft of it in November, I sent it to my friends. I had finished recording after a certain…event.

"I’m wondering if it’s too aggressive to post tonight."

"Yeah, probably good to wait a bit."

"Glad I checked in then, I was kind of on the fence about it."

Which is good! It gave me some times to polish the lyrics, re-record the vocals, and think more about what the song means to me. It's in a similar category as A Song About Pain where sure, I can see some people relating to this or seeing themself in this song, but ultimately it's a song I wrote for myself.

Lyrics:

Get up.

I Did not give you permission to die I'll attempt to give you reasons for life But if you leave me behind, that's on you I would not have you throwing away your life If the thought remains, then look me in the eye Try and dare to say there's no one alive who gives a damn about you I'm not completely open I wouldn't have you treating me like I am But I won't let you fall out of my hand And I have mind enough to come up with a plan So fine, if right now you can't thrive I'll be the place where you survive.

I'll be your shelter (When it all falls down everything will be okay) I'll be your shelter (When it all falls down I will make sure you are safe) No need to wonder (When the storm's outside I will make sure you don't break) I'll be your shelter

Stop thinking for a moment. You'll get to your overthinking in a second. No Don't let your mind say you deserve for your life to turn out this way Those who made you take the blame are an insult to what you and I do

Time (You're not completely open) Has drained you of the will to get by (And you will not be treated like you are) Has drained you of every bit of your pride (It is recognized you've come this far) You think that I will let it slide? (It is recognized that memories scar) Not give you anywhere to hide? I say to you.

I'll be your shelter (It is fine if right now your life is not okay) Under the weather? (Then I'll love your clouds, and I'll love your pouring rain) You need to find out (Where you draw the line, and decide to stick to shade) So you have no doubt (So you will get out, someday)

Because when you feel the regret this deep in your bones That self-resentment that need to atone It's so damn heavy, that burden to carry But you don't have to get through it alone So what if I'm not the best person for this I'll say it, god damnit, you're gonna get through this If I have to drag you kicking and screaming to a better future I'll do so So no, don't you dare say don't worry Don't you dare try to stop me, to say you're a burden to me Just know If you're cold

I'll be your shelter I'll be your shelter I'll be your shelter (As it's falling down, let's hope we'll both be okay) So look no further (As it's falling down, let's all make sure we are safe) You need to find out Where to carve your route But I’ll be your hideout So you have no doubt I'll be your shelter So you will endure, someday

[song-writer-melo-wrath]

I'm a sucker for a love story gone wrong, sometimes. "Love conquers all, and look what is has left in its wake" situations.

This is a song that is somewhat about two characters I've already made songs about, but it's more about the vibes of the dynamic they have with each other. They're not exactly in this situation, but the metaphors are there.

Lyrics:

I'll be first to admit to myself in my mind That I first meant to leave you disheveled Yet never did ever I think that one day We'd both be upon the same level For I may be a fool, but you choose to rule So really, who's the idiot here? You cling to your throne Thinking you lead alone I thought you would atone As I jabbed and I sneered… But of course, my mistake, because who would want dead The one who could say it is off with their head This world's never made sense, never been innocent, So I put hurt behind, turned to joking instead Blue blood runs through royal veins and through a golden heart… Naturally, the crowned will always be a work of art As I knew your mind, we intertwined, I swore we'd never part

And you said my confession's the best joke you've heard in a while I'd say that reaction is perfect, since I see your smile…

Your Majesty, confide in me, I'll show that I am trustworthy Insanity and comedy Are never too far from your kingdom Oh do not fret, I won't forget That you have let me in And I know what a burden it must be So trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me,

Trust me that it's true! I would do anything for you! I know well that it's good to be needed No, the truth is that I need it And a fragment of me thinks you might need it too! Trust me when I say What you do to me won't matter anyway For the world taught me well, that any day I could be a jester rejected.

Fires will rise, and they'll beg you to run, run run But look at me, tell me the truth, are you not having fun?

Your Majesty, my loyalty To you, I give, entirely And I am not bought easily But the two of us are in tandem Do not be scared, I'm well aware You only want to win And the dread guillotine is not rusty You have never been allowed to just be You've been told you must redefine history And the future is always a mystery

So trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, Trust me that it's true Every day my heart burns anew I know well just how often you’re heeded And I’ve never needed it I never thought, though, I’d be needed by you! Trust me when I say Any moment, I expect you to betray For the world taught me well that any day I could end up a jester rejected

Cause of course, my mistake, anyone would want dead The one who is so clearly out of their head For it makes so much sense, I'm far from innocent I left manners behind, turned devoted in spite of the Madness, malice, have I caused you sadness In having to look over fires and ashes You've treated me well, you've not given me well Know I'll do what it takes to repay you, no matter the Spiraling mind, crumbling down I wouldn't dare to take your crown And though I hope to be profound I'd say my existence is the best joke told, in a while I'd say every second is worth it, if I make you smile So,

Your Majesty, come fly with me Let's make this play a comedy A tragedy could come between The two of us, completely at- random Do not have fear, for I'm right here And I'll not let you end I will not let them have you unjustly So trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me

Trust me that it's true! I would do anything for you! I know well that it's good to be needed No, the truth is that I need it And a fragment of me thinks you might need it too! Trust me when I say What you do to me won't matter anyway For the world taught me well, that any day I could be in death's way!

Know it to be true That I would give my life for you! It's not me, it is you that is needed It's you that is heeded And you who can change the world after I'm through Promise me, today! That…everything I have said had its sway! But the world taught me well that any day I could end up a jester, re…

…jected.
