I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by
A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends
Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch
Rabbitology - Preybirds (Watcher Song)
Life series fandom is sleeping on Rabbitology, the lyrics suit watchers lore too much (it's even in the title of the song that art was inspired by!!)
Introducing Art inspired by Preybirds (Watcher Song), I'm actually going insane by how much the lyrics suit desertduo vibes in that case
That art was inspired by song all in all, but those quotes stand out the most:
I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by
A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends
I shouldn’t play with fate
But what if once, I could make you safe?
So while you think you’re alone,
you cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
(They’re my blank and pitiless eyes)
If you’d just look up, I could be your guide
Why can’t I catch your eye
how you’ve caught tens of mine
You’re blind to all my warning cries
When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies
So I’ve no choice but to come down
Forever tethered to your life
but cursed to only watch
Catastrophe
Repeat until
You look at me
I’m the dying fire In the birthing light
And I’ll break every bind That I’m blighted by
HOW could that not be in any way inspired by life series HOW no I do not understand, or WAS IT
Playing with fate, Watchers not being able to affect fate, strings of fate, trying to affect surroundings so whoever is being addressed understands the danger, many many eyes of Watcher, pityless red eyes, fate, fate-
On a serious note, go listen to that trafficblr, you won't regret it.
Preybirds (The Watched Version) by Rabbitology & Sparkbird with The Shifting Mound from Slay the Princess (spoiler warning for Slay the Princess, submission inspired by the other StP submission)

Birds of prey spiral around my head
They hiss songs of your birth, they caw visions of death
I've watched it happen again and again, haunted by
A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends
I shouldn't play with fate
But what if once, I could make you safe?
So while you think you're alone
You cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives' bones
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
If you'd just look up, I could be your guide
Why can't I catch your eye how you've caught tens of mine
Eye in the sun
You're all I see
Why don't you look at me?
(I'm the embers bright)
(Flitting lightning flies)
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
(In the hints of split sky)
(I'm the dying fire)
(In the birthing light)
(And I'll break every bind)
(That I'm blighted by)
You're blind to all my warning cries
When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies
So I've no choice but to come down
Pardon my steps shaking the ground
So while you think you're alone, you cast two shadows down the road
Where you have buried all your past lives' bones
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
But the birds on my shoulders prepare for a feast
You can taste it in the air, the soon-to-be dead meat
Eye in the sun
You're all I see
Why don't you look at me?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
At the highest ridge, in the thunder's crash
I will bare my scars to the lightning's lash
I will kneel at the sound of a violent cry
And I'll kiss every sword that I'm conquered by
Your breath heaves down my neck, wrestlin' me 'way, but you're too late
My body rests, dagger in chest
The heart in my hands drips, as my soul crawls from splintered ribs
To eclipse your head, and beg again
For revenge (for revenge)
Oh, you may think you're alone if you hide from the shadows
You can bury bones but not the souls
And two red suns in the sky will be the light to build your pyre
They're my blank and pitiless eyes
Every death births a bird to this wretched flock
Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch
Catastrophe
Repeat until
You look at me (look at me)
(So while you think you're alone, you cast two shadows down the road)
(Where you have buried all your past lives' bones)
Look at me (look at me)
(See my two sun eyes, feel my slow moving thighs)
(Tumbling dust in a dimming tide)
One day I'll come reckoning (one day I'll come reckoning)
(Hear the squabble angry caws of our wretched flock)
(Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch)
Wearing the feathers of our souls as wings (wearing the feathers of our souls as wings)
(At the highest ridge, in the thunder's crash)
(I will bare my scars to the lightning's lash)
(I will kneel at the sound of a violent cry)
(And I'll kiss every sword that I'm conquered by)
(Embers bright)
(Flitting lightning flies)
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
(In the hints of split sky)
(I'm the dying fire)
(In the birthing light)
(And I'll...)
