A REASON is about the exhaustion, confusion, desperation and internal chaos felt about the inevitable end of a relationship. It’s about wanting to salvage it and feeling hopeless and alone in that desire.
Here's a peek at a very rough, stripped version of a song I wrote called “The World the Girl Saw”. It’s written from Mikasa’s perspective, and you can probably guess what/who it’s about 😉 You can watch the full version here.
It was inspired by the eponymous chapter/episode from the series. Hits a little different than when I wrote it a few years ago, considering where the story’s at now 🥺 Here’s the chorus. The rest of the lyrics are under the cut:
those green eyes
blaze like firelight
cuts through the darkness in my mind
breathing me back into life
and your green eyes
are staring out of sight
but i will follow close behind
you right into the darkest night
I won’t be posting this stripped version anywhere else until closer to/after the release of the studio version, which is slated for release in late November. So I guess you can consider this a tumblr exclusive for the time being :) The studio version will have more of a mellow indie rock vibe than this dramatic ballad feel haha. I’m also gonna need an album cover for the studio version if any artists are interested in working with me 👀
Hope you enjoy my tribute to this series’ best girl and couple! If you did, you can follow me for music updates as I may also be in the process of writing a song called “What Am I To You”, if that's of any interest to you 😏. I’m @kirshkebab almost everywhere.
Leaving download links and places you can find me pinned on my page if you’re interested.
The World the Girl Saw by kirsh
V1
So cold nowhere left to go
No place left to run to
From the monsters in my head
Stranded all I know is gone
Oh this is what it’s come to
Would I’ve been better off dead?
Had nothing to lose
Then there was you
Chorus
Those green eyes
Blaze like firelight
Cuts through the darkness in my mind
Breathing me back into life
And your green eyes
Are staring out of sight
but I will follow close behind
you right into the darkest night
V2
Broken, hanging by a thread
Questioning my sanity
Let these demons get to me
But you chase them out relentlessly
Just as I’m unraveling
Bless the cruel fates that brought you to me
[Chorus]
Outro
Follow you
Follow you
Those green eyes,
Those green eyes, oh

Here’s my Spotify page if you’re curious about my existing music. This AOT-inspired song/everything else I make going forward will have a very different vibe from what I already have up (going much darker and more indie).
