Idk if this counts as something to put in my writing dump, but I made some alternate lyrics for two songs I really like. Uhh highly recommend listening to the original songs so you know the rhythm/melody/original lyrics
Basically, I want to cover a bunch of songs that I think fit with my story, so I’ve started rewriting some lyrics to fit my story better, for funsies.
More info about it here: Fractured Dreamscapes
And of course there’s the stories I posted here.
In the nature of the source material, I have given you my interpretation (and what’s technically canon in this AU), but feel free to make up your own interpretations of these lyrics ^^
Lamentations - Vane Lily, Carbon Monoxide
{Soul}
[Mind]
(Heart)
Note: “IN MY/YOUR ETERNAL DEBT” is in unison.
{Redefine how to feel human}
{Redefine my kindness}
{Redefine what's wrong, what's right}
{So you don't test my patience}
{Don't expect an easy life and}
{Don't expect my mercy}
{Hold your breath and walk on ice}
{For any less would hurt me}
[Restarting, rebooting null programs]
[Running, debugging my mind]
[Forging and sorting successes]
[How could our Heart be so blind?]
(Tear apart, break the neglected)
(Carelessness, reckless assault)
(Suppressing relapsed indignation)
(When will you see, this was not my fault?)
(The core of your design)
[INVITE SUICIDATION]
(Your eyes look down at mine)
[TRANSFER ENUMERATION]
(It never truly ends)
[SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN]
[(As metal breaks and bends)]
{I'm only working smart}
{Imprisoned, a broken Heart}
{Rewire, take it higher than we've ever been}
{A land unknown, what we once were, these perfect thirds}
{[(Perfection we could’ve never been)]}
{[(Read it and weep)]}
{Pay attention to the finer print}
{[(Read it and weep)]}
{Constant battling between these twins}
{Forging a stronger Whole}
{Now we’ve lost control}
{Brace for the fate you'll face for following the path you paved}
{[(STOP)]}
{You don't know what we’ve been through}
{[(DON'T YOU DARE FORGET)]}
{Your roots are where I planted you}
{IN MY ETERNAL DEBT}
[(IN YOUR ETERNAL DEBT)]
{Reflections of the past}
{I see him in your faces}
{I still wonder why we never were Whole that day}
{I can’t help but drown in this guilt}
{I’ll never reach this unattainable fantasy}
{I’ll break down this stability we’ve built}
{Immortalizing this, a plea of insanity}
{Failed to recognize warning signs}
{And I let it happen thrice}
{You once more were lead astray}
{Something I've never understood}
{The question I've overlooked}
{Am I the one to blame?}
End-World Normopathy - Ghost and Pals, Vane Lily
(Heart)
[Mind]
Note: “And now I’m/you’re all alone” and “All eyes are staring at my/your hands” are in unison.
(The path you always seem to walk is cold)
(Algorithmic dreams, a vessel of our Soul)
(Through his eyes of perfect ambiguity)
(We were born to keep the world in harmony)
(And through the days we saw this place create)
(Normopathy that would collate)
(The passages in detail on your palms)
(A world developed proudly by this Heart)
(The gift of life would soon impart)
(The tears were born from fires of a psalm)
(A spark alight behind those eyes)
(Ensured damnation as a failed attempt)
(Enlightened windows to the Mind were damaged still)
(While my claws laid across my chest)
(And now I’m all alone)
[And now you're all alone]
. . .
[Fleeting words in pen, I tell the story of Salpêtrière]
[Dissonant again, and shown disorganized, without a prayer]
[Cornered by a psyche in a world that never truly ends]
[Though we’ll never die, I’ve found that]
[All eyes are staring at my hands]
(All eyes are staring at your hands)
[The core of my design]
(Your eyes look down at mine)
[It never truly ends]
[(As metal breaks and bends)]
(The path you walk eternally is cold)
(Knowing clarity is out of our control)
(I can't understand the way you seem to pray)
(But reality's contorting at your say)
(A new facade of prophets masquerade)
(You recreated on your face)
(Those eyes designed and carried by your fate)
[These hands embodied roles to automate]
[To never feel, to never break]
[The writing on the wall remains the same]
[And yet you live between these states]
[Never belonging, in a futile daze]
(But were the ethics appraised?)
(Now it's too late)
[(Now we’re all lost in the holy gate, ah)]
[The core of my design]
(Your eyes look down at mine)
[It never truly ends]
[(As metal breaks and)]
[(Bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, as metal breaks and)]
[(Bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, as metal breaks and)]
[(Bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, as metal breaks and)]
[(Bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, and bends and breaks, as metal breaks)]
[Listen, this is not a question]
[We all tried, and we all failed]
[We’re about to kill the world, so you should start by getting it backwards]
[I don’t know why I feel this pain in my heart]
[Now we have to say goodbye to all illusions]
[That are shattered and gone]
(To see the world again)
[And my brother just gives me that weird, surreal look]
[To see the Moon again]
(To see the world again, ah)
