April in 2009
Webcomic posted on some page online
The world, about to realign (about to realign)
We got invested in a boy named ‘John’
And in the game that started thereupon
Oh boy, there’s so much more beyond…
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
We went to the cons, yeah, to grey paint all over
We used to read all night, now we’ll just deny it
And ev-er-y April, remember the Old Times
'Cause every ship in canon sank
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
I'll live here forever, it’s never over
Grey skin and typing quirks
Act 5 created online fireworks
The lore, complicated verse
The fandom argued over ships and kins
And whether we could forgive Vriska’s sins
And man, we learned that no one wins…
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
We went to the cons, yeah, to grey paint all over
We used to read all night, now we’ll just deny it
And ev-er-y April, remember the Old Times
'Cause every ship in canon sank
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
I'll live here forever, it’s never over
Every page I reread from you
All the bullshit you put me through
I’ll start another readthrough cuz all the complaints I do
Wouldn’t change a thing I do
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
I'll live here forever, it’s never over
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
We went to the cons, yeah, to grey paint all over
We used to read all night, now we’ll just deny it
And ev-er-y April, remember the Old Times
'Cause every ship in canon sank
I used to be home stuck, the fandom took over
I'll live here forever, it’s never over
It’s never over (about to realign)
It’s never over
Showtime Dave - check (Homestuck parody of "check" by bbno$)

((lyrics rewritten by me, below the cut))

Gritting teefies it's my main goal
Know nobody and say the word go
Fortunes untold, good for John, yeah, we out of control

There you go it’s time to find another loophole
I stay taking care of my base

Taking a big ass bite, voracious
You want our plays, can’t make us
Run these market stocks, no naks detain us
Crazy lil troll tryna get my deets
'Cause she know that I do the do
Do little quip and do little wave
Yeah, got luck like a damn horseshoe
Oh my gog!

Oh my gog!
Yeah, we godtier to infinity
I stay taking care of my base
Got my boonies in my case

Lalala! Lalala! — Stridin to the bank, Stridin to the bank
I HAD TO BULLSHIT AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE TUMBLR DOESN'T FUCKING ALLOW IT WITHOUT SOME SORT OF INTERVENTION. ANYWAY, ENJOY YOUR DAVEKAT.
I GREATLY ENJOYED WORKING WITH @off-broadway-dave FOR ONCE IN MY SORRY EXCUSE OF A LIFE.

LYRICS BELOW THE CUT
It's pourin' in, you're laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends
You can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins
Aimin' so high, but swingin' so low
Tryna catch fire, but feelin' so cold
Hold it inside, and hope it won't show
I'm sayin' it's not, but inside I know
Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the -
Heavy is the crown
Turn to run, now look what it's become
Outnumbered, ten to one
Back then, should've bit your tongue
'Cause there's no turnin' back this path once it's begun
You're already on that list
Say you don't want what you can't resist
Wavin' that sword when the pen won't miss
Watch it all fallin' apart like this
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the -
Heavy is the crown
Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is
This is what you asked for
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
DOOMED TIMELINES FUCKING SUCK, JUST ASK @off-broadway-dave ABOUT IT. HE SANG SOME SHITTY SONG EARLIER ABOUT BEING DOOMED SO AT LEAST WE GOT OURSELVES A GRUB SNOOZEFEST OF UNHAPPINESS AND MISERY HAPPENING IN HERE. GO TEAM.
LYRICS UNDER THE CUT, AS ALWAYS
How could I be so impulsive and disappoint?
Shaking me down to my core, I wish it was numb
Without a sound, now perish from a doomed timeline
Strider I don’t have the nerve, to give you up
(Listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Karkat listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Stay with me!)
Don’t you know that death gave us it’s mark
(Listen up!)
You can have my soul
(Karkat listen up!)
If it makes you whole
(Stay with me!)
It could save us from this doomed timeline
Now that I think of all the things
That I have done to you
Leave me I can’t stand this suffering
I’m not that strong
(Listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Karkat listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Stay with me!)
Don’t you know that death gave us it’s mark
(Listen up!)
You can have my soul
(Karkat listen up!)
If it makes you whole
(Stay with me!)
It could save us from this doomed timeline
I’m not that strong
(I’ve been playing a lie
There’s no win in sight)
I’m not that strong
Falling apart, doomed to die
Doomed to fail you, darling
On this cold game, wish there was another way
(All of this time
I can’t believe I couldn’t see
I was alone, and you were only there for me)
I have wasted a thousand opportunities
Got to open my mind to everything
(Without a breath, without some time, without a light
Don't let me die here
I know you’ll do what’s right)
I’m not that strong
(Listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Karkat listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Stay with me!)
Don’t you know that death gave us it’s mark
(Listen up!)
You can have my soul
(Karkat listen up!)
If it makes you whole
(Stay with me!)
It could save us from this doomed timeline
I’m not that strong
(I’ve been playing a lie
There’s no win in sight)
I’m not that strong
YOU PEOPLE DO KNOW THEY STOLE THE HARD WORK OF @homestuck-vocals AND WERE PROFITING OFF NOSTALGIA MAKING LIKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AT THE COST OF OLD FANDOM SONGS THEY DIDN’T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO DISTRIBUTE… RIGHT???
even with spotify only paying like
$0.003 to $0.005 per stream
its inexfuckingscusable to take others work and make money off it
what we do is for free
its entertainment
its parody
(dont say it dave)
and like
idk man
when we (general) put our time and effort into things meant to be for free and someone takes that and tries to shill for money off our (general) hard work (mostly hs-vocals here)
it sucks
Off-Broadway Dave - Mean (Dave's Version) (Homestuck Parody of "Mean (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift)
okay im not gonna lie i really like this
im no tswift by any means though and i know that
im sure everyone will be totally normal
(lyric edit by me, below the cut)
[Verse 1]
You, with your literal knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothing
You, with your silent stares like a beacon
Faking me out in a strife now
You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Verse 2]
You, with your stupid shades
And your smuppet shit and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my eyes wide, trying not to hide
'Cause your puppet shit’s freaky
I just wanna feel okay for once
[Pre-Chorus]
I bet you got neglected too
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Bridge]
And I can see you now that I'm in the game
Laying limp on the cold hard ground
With that same smug, quiet judgement, but nobody's listening
Beat up and knocked down about being the hero again
And I’m a little sad about how I lost you
But all you are is mean
[Buildup]
All you are is mean
And a douchebag, and abusive
And alone in life, and mean
And mean, and mean, and mean
[Chorus]
But someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Did I really just forget that melody?
(Naw, na, na, banananananana)
Alright, dada dadadada
[Dave:]
When I popped off, then your troll gave me just a little bit of lockjaw
Baby so cold, he from space, he from Alternia
Bankroll so low, I got nothing else that I can withdraw
Ran out the door
I shine my shades they go like shashasha shashasha
I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala
I shine my shades they go like shashasha, shashasha
I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala
How I strider like that
Boonbonds, no cap, Terezi knows
They wonder how, how I stunt like that
I rap my lyrics when I perform
They wonder how, how I strider like that
Married to the grind, I brought my ring
I'm corny, but Terezi want the dick
Modest with my suits, but check the bank
Finally got the money, say my thanks
When I popped off, then your troll gave me just a little bit of lockjaw
Baby so cold, he from space, he from Alternia
Bankroll so low, I got nothing else that I can withdraw
Ran out the door
I shine my shades they go like shashasha shashasha
I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala
I shine my shades they go like shashasha, shashasha
I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala
How I strider like that
Haha, I'm at the bank again
They wonder how, how I stunt like that
Turntables with flames all on the sides
They wonder how, how I strider like that
Got that red suit on my body, now she tryna pipe me, woo
Popped into another time loop, loopy boy, I keep you cool
Got the god tier, kept my cool
Be careful who you callin' a fool
Ayy, ha, ayy
When I popped off, then your troll gave me just a little bit of lockjaw
Baby so cold, he from space, he from Alternia
Bankroll so low, I got nothing else that I can withdraw
Ran out the door
I shine my shades they go like shashasha shashasha
I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala
I shine my shades they go like shashasha, shashasha
I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala
How I strider like that
Off-Broadway Dave - Shades of Love (Homestuck parody of "Rouge of Love" from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series)
i bet you thought you could outrun an ironic song
jokes on you
i got this karaoke shit on lock
(lyrics by me under the cut)
So I'm just what you think
A plastic doll playing irony all night
All you see, impassivity
A single pixel denotes when I smile
I'm so over, men and this whole love shebang
They don't mean a thing to me, throw it all away
Though these frightened eyes
Won't stop widening
I'm free, shades hiding the doubt in me
The flashing lights of this game
Already took my heart
I fly into the darkness
Like my unreal air skateboard
These god tier digs that i wear
Already suit me so well
I’ll wear it all if I keep
My lucky Shades of Love
Yeah, you’d call me blasé
Cracking jokes with nary a single smile
Simple days are way behind me
Innocence left me long before you met me
Once the game set, you’d say the match was won
And the grist would flow for me, make boonbonds alone
Maybe I lost my way
In the incisisphere
Maybe shades out in space ain’t the best idea
The darkness of these glasses
Already marked my heart
I fight with ½ bladekind
To keep emotions at bay
Hurry up and help me
Put my poor mind at ease
I need a cure for this darkness
In the form of love
The flashing lights of this game
Already took my heart
I fly into the darkness
Like my unreal air skateboard
These god tier digs that i wear
Already suit me so well
They highlight eyes I keep hidden
Shining brightly crimson
Hurry up and help me
Put my poor mind at ease
All of my tears are hidden
Covered by Shades of Love
Off-Broadway Dave - Just One Yesterday (Homestuck Parody)
its a lot
being a god and everything
i never got the chance to be a teenager before the world ended
dont ask why i chose this particular panel as the cover for the song i dont think i have an answer for that
duet with @off-broadway-karkat
lyrics rewritten by me, under the cut
I thought of godtiers
Tangled in their jammies
Prayed to on their separate altars
See how silly they all looked then
All just children on our own
Tasked with things bigger than us.
Anything we say can and will be used against us
We only type our words
They'll still be held against us
Anything we say can and will be used against us
I'll only type your name
If Rose’s grief can play the rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)I want to be young and reckless in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)For just one yesterday
Lettin' people down is my thing, homeslice
Find yourself a new gig
This town ain't big enough for two of us
I don't have the right name
O-o-or the right shades
But I have twice the time
Anything we say can and will be used against us
We only type our words
They'll still be held against us
Anything we say can and will be used against us
I'll only type your name
If Rose’s grief can play the rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)I want to be young and reckless in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)For just one yesterday
(KARKAT)
If I hadn’t won
Your world wouldn’t ever been born at least the same way
Now, I'm here to give you all of my hate
So I can watch your face as you play this fucking game, this game, this ga-a-ame
(DAVE & KK)
If Rose’s grief can play the rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)I want to be young and reckless in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)For just one yesterday
