[⚠️ Yumepost. this is my interpretation btw :3 i would like if this would just be.. left. as it is. <3 it's a coping mechanism i swear]
(Non-sharing Telemachus (Epic: the Musical/The Odyssey yume! doubles don't interact please <3 even if i barely talk about it here)
TeleVial x Fool by Cavetown
(🍀 : Evial, 🗡 : Telemachus)
[first part]
I was such a fool to keep
On chasing after nothing great
╰> 🗡: chanting to let it sink that what he's been chasing (his father's shadow, unrealistic greatness, perfection, is "nothing great" (something deteriorating him/not good
(probable interpretation) 🍀: trying to "chase" an escape (isolation) just to crumble into madness/ends in "nothing great" (delusion)
You were such a fool to keep
Pretending that you're loving me
╰> 🗡 about 🍀. though oblivious, 🍀 isn't loving 🗡, she's obsessed with him as an object of desire (Eros' arrow doing smth smth I DUNNO💔) even though she doesn't know yet
I don't know
Where I'm supposed to go
╰> 🗡 is lost about his identity, destiny, what he's meant to be.

[2nd part]
Call me on the phone at three
I'll talk to you while half asleep
╰> 🍀: back to reality, she loves him to the point of unhealthy. to her, it was love. nice, kind, and warm in its own way. she loves him, so much so she would do anything for him to love her back (she knows he'll do, eventually. maybe)
(extra: MAYBEEE a nod to the modern AU titled TV! where she would actually listen to him in the middle of the night ranting about his life and she would be comfy like that)
Complaining 'bout your mother so
I'll take you to the cemetery
╰> this is where the AU diverges from canon. in this AU, Penelope died💔 because the suitors find out about the lie💔💔💔 and killed her when 🗡 is out of the palace💔💔💔😢 🍀 "kidnapped" him in spite of "saving him from the suitors before they get to do anything" and a tad bit of pity💔💔😢
Rant to me, i like the sound
In the mirror
I like your voice, i like your mouth
oh
╰> 🍀: again, she's thinking about him and how much she loves him (🗡: strengthening the belief that she's unstable)
• • • [this section is a repeat of first part]
[last chorus]
In the mirror
I love that boy
Don't hurt my dear
Don't hurt my joy
Oh
╰> 🗡: the "boy" mentioned here is his own reflection. 🗡 is confronting 🍀's confinement and complaining about how she's been hurting him, claiming that she does. her love is hurting him (by kidnapping him) and it's hurting herself too (with how fiercely she does). this part doesn't actually happen but it's a nice thought and a nice touch
although in the end, 🗡 started understanding what she's talking about. and her background too. welp— mutual understanding came from then on♡ yay!
