good evening my ratlings it is 2 am and i just had the epiphany of a fucking LIFETIME
so . alter ego by misumi . this is unironically one of my favorite songs of all time i . have no idea how i didnt clock it sooner maybe i wasnt insane enough BUT LETS GET INTO MY BULLSHIT
(as usual lines without explanation are those i am unable to explain but they make sense in my head)
"The present time is 4 AM,/I'm sick and tired of everyone." mad rat back when he was alive probably
"Without being graded into black or white,/My colors become vague."
"Inhale, then exhale,/It's almost as if I'm dead./But in reality, if one listens, I'm just about alive." self explanatory
"I say that I don't care what happens anymore,/That I don't have a single drop of fear." mad rat brushing off everything because hell die that night either way
"But the only thing I know is that the end will be/The evening sun sinking below the horizon." self explanatory
"But that's fine, just if you'd/Turn to ash and disappear," the human/heart in early game/rat god send post (how many opps does this guy have im crine)
"Before we're swallowed by/That figure that quietly went insane." mad rat himself probably ??
"With neither a zero or an end,/The countless eyes in my head/They blabber, going on and on and on. Oh just shut up." the hallucinations trademark emoji
"How about you just quit being human?" self explanatory
the whole plot of the game being mad rat wanting to leave his mark on the world before he dies because he was never able to . send post
"The truth is I already know that/The day I'm forgiven will never come."
"The final moments of a bloomed petal are when it falls/To the ground to become dirt, whirling in the wind."
"Before we're swallowed by/That smile coated with lies." rat goddd
boy carrying loneliness who wasnt allowed to hope: mad rat being alone and trapped his entire life
girl who was betrayed and had to bear the wounds: i wonder who could have POSSIBLY lied to mad rat . boy i wonder
"I can't go back to being on my own." mad rat literally being unable to survive without heart no matter how much he doesnt want heart to see him die
"Before we're swallowed by/Those eyes filled with pain." who could this be referring to . hmmm i sure wonder
"At zero, I hum a hoarse song/About the broken world./And the sound of the finale rings out."
i like to think hes talking about rat god here
this deadass fits so well im in SHAMBLES
