Alright. Lyrics are out and done. Now back to the main focus of me just losing my shit over Eddy and Sebastian as this song, which will be under cut because oh my god I think a lot
Eddy goes by they/them and it/its . Sebastian goes by he/him
Summary: Just me spacing lyrics, explaining their connections to Eddy and Sebastian, going crazy and stupid with autism and the fact that I've been thinking of them a lot This December
In a town that fell to ruin at the end of a battle, There’s a knight that’s striding through it alone. None can hold a candle to the victories that he’s won. And he’s killed more people than anyone — Basically just how AREPH is, the rules and the lengths they'll go to ensuring safety for the human pets. And also fits how Eddy seems to be the most important person in the organization
Those of the opposing land are afraid when they see him in sight, —lightly what I think of how Setup and Takedown will be like towards AREPH members..just lightly. Because it doesn't fully fit, but like. Kinda. Anyways
Desperately they beg him for their lives. Regardless of how frantic their cries, every time, He has never halted to listen to their pleas —another part that fits AREPH as a whole. Imo that is. Tbh, I don't think I still have a good grasp of what AREPH ..does. I know what it does, I know! Just. The lengths I suppose? Even though, I know that too since Theo is a member of AREPH and tortures pets if need be. Ah, I'm getting nowhere
Held in the arms of a woman’s corpse, a baby girl. Innocently smiled over at the knight, And lifted his sword into the air. — Looks at you with the fact that Flor ..ran away (in better terms) from ANAKT for a little bit, went to the nearest spot or place that at least has someone around, someone that can at least give 'Lorashishimboaninisshuori' (Seb's old name, I like to think that maybe both Arol and Eddy renamed him to Sebastian) the bare minimum of being taken care of (he's 2 when he's given to Eddy), because she can't continue to do it anymore and she is so close to being 18-19, and that is when the season probably started around and that was the age of her death (she had him when she was close to 15, so practically 14 but she says 15), with her round being the 12th. Of course the lyric is not a perfect 1:1, but it has always made me remember that small fact, and how I went about it on my end ..
"Can't leave any survivors... Sorry." —these words only appear in * PsySoubi's cover. Just felt like putting them in here because why not, and two of them fit.. I don't think this one fits but it's whatever
A~ hero’s armor is always the color of crimson. Surely this is the color of the blood that he’s covered in, It may be these deeds are for someone else’s sake, but that doesn’t Mean it can be called “justice,” all that being said... — looks at you and shows a sign that just says "AREPH" since the lyric is like. About Eddy but his purpose in AREPH, I guess. Tbh, I think some day I might need a refresher about it ..but anyways. Waves the sign again.
Time continued on from there, five years came and went soon enough, Even now the war is still going on— In a temporary home someone awaits his return.. And it was none other than that girl. — don't know how to make this one make sense, but maybe it can be when Eddy does get into AREPH or start it? I actually dunno the origins of AREPH in-universe (I know the reason why it was made, not how it was made), but something like that. Tbh, most of the lyrics don't make any sense with the characters at all, but the ones that do make sense override the ones that don't, so. Yeah
Back when he had met her first he saw a symbol sewn on her clothes, Of the Imperial family crest. He thought if he had this child with him, maybe then; She’d be useful hostage that he could use later on. — "hostage" and what Leonhart thought at the start aren't how Eddy accepts the fact that he'll be taking care of a baby/toddler. Iirc, Eddy didn't really have any experience with other humans. So, there's that.
You foolish girl, who says, “Papa, welcome home!”, Innocently smiling each time I return- Even though this man that you think of as your father.. Is really your true parents’ murderer. — This will only make sense, with a weird logic that (I think) the majority of the fans of ALNST think (moreso the ones when it comes to Luka and his tactics). AREPH is an organization created by ALIEN STAGE. "Is really your true parents' murderer", so in some weird fucked up and stupid thought process, Eddy is in hindsight responsible for Flor's death. But that's only with the weird thought process that some have with Luka, and how he ""killed"" Till in Round 7 (which is bullshit if applied to the other rounds; mizi "killing" sua, till "killing" ivan). But without this thought process, the lyric doesn't match up and . shrugs, yeah. That's it
"A make believe parent and child ... How idiotic..." — Looks around as then Eddy and Sebastian are moreso seen as... At least, 'children' to Arol. Not pets, but kids.
A~ hero’s armor is always the color of crimson. Surely this is the color of the treachery that he led, It may be these deeds are for someone else’s sake, but that doesn’t Mean it can be called “justice,” all that being said... — looks at you and shows a sign that just says "AREPH" since the lyric is like. About Eddy but his outcome in AREPH, I think. Waves the sign again.
Many things are bound to occur when fighting upon the battlefield. Victory, losses and hatred, living by your dumb luck, and above all, treachery- Before he realized, soon the knight was surrounded by a group of foes great in number. It was clear enough by the clothes that they wore that weren’t the standard soldiers. — actually makes me think of the idea on how Sebastian gets taken away and then shortly adopted by Von... I don't know how I'll go about this though. But the idea is close enough, imo. So
“Hand over the child that you have in your possession” said a woman who dressed in an old black robe, If he did so, it was also probable that they’d shortly after murder her. Surely this was all a stroke of luck, though, as for the knight that was what he wanted, right? Because at the start, after all, that was why he’d taken the child long ago. —Tbh, I think the one fitting the role of the woman in this scene is Orian, tho not exactly? The lyrics, again, are not the perfect 1:1, but it does at least make some sense inna way. The rest doesn't make sense, so.. shrugs.
Somebody then suddenly ran right in front of them, To defend that man, a sword in their hands- Right before the knight, this small trembling back, Had belonged to the child of which his foes asked — just how the lyric states, ..yeah. Sebastian protecting Eddy... That's all I can say
Oh you pitiful little girl, Trying to protect the man you call a “father”- Even though he was, in reality, probably about to sell you off — "probably about to sell you off" can definitely mean how Sebastian got kidnapped and then maybe soon after got sent to ANAKT (I think he can also be a late comer, like Kioku is.. that honestly makes a lot of sense with a bit of the timeline, imo)
Gently patting the girl’s head, now the knight who was being threatened over her. Suddenly approached the assassins and he drew his sword... — I dunno if I should explain this... I mean, I think it would make sense given how close Sebastian and Eddy are (2 year old with a teen..so like........shrugs)
"I'm not suited to be a father. And I don't lead a life I can be proud of, but if you say that's alright, Even so, I will become the armor that protects you-
Well then, Shall we go?" — THIS PART ALWAYS MAKES ME LIKE. I DUNNO. IT MAKES ME CRAZY TO THINK BECAUSE LIKE .... WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT (starts to cry). Like. What the fuck ..... Inna way, Eddy doesn't fully fit the role of like. Guardian, of being a parent but they do fit the role of older sibling that can fill in that role. "And I don't lead a life i can be proud of", is a bit weird along with the others down the line, but like. A few words fit. A few words do fit the character of Eddy, imo. They are proud of their life, so it saying it isn't proud is just weird.
A~ hero’s armor is always the color of crimson. Surely this is the color of the twilight he’s basking in, Walking hand and hand through an era that is colored by bloodshed Is a knight in armor and the daughter of red — "walking hand and hand through an era that is colored by bloodshed", the inclusion of the daughter...... Cries and goes insane by having Eddy as Leonhart and Sebastian as Germaine..
There is no justice or evil on the battlefield. There will surely arrive a day when he’ll atone for all he’s done, But until that time when all of his sins come crashing down... He’s decided he will be a “father” for now — Tbh, I find the idea of Eddy probably knowing what they have been doing to be wrong in some way is interesting, because like .. ah. I don't know how to explain it at all. Hell, I'm not even making any sense with this post at all! I'm just saying nonsensical words to walls. "He's decided he will be a "father" for now" fits Arol, though. It fits Arol perfectly, imo from what I know
