Serendipity/Zemblanity, Categorically: It's Ephemera

Lyrics:
I still think about that day 
We were sent to save that Fawn
By the time that we got there
She was already cold on the lawn.
I had never witnessed anything 
So pure and clean 
The was the perfect lesson at the perfect time

heavily inspired by ichika's old style from 'forn' and 'she waits patiently'

im kinda too rolled programming wise to use hydra's tapping and slides to their full potential but still mostly happy with the result

i wondered if you'd always stay the same 
you told me everything had been a waste
if everything was gone would u stop by my house?
i seem to be the only one missing my spouse
can't find my way out the sorrow
if u saw my face would u come home. 

i never liked the way u looked up at my hair
if everything was fine why was it so hard to bare?
it's so hard to find my way out of this hotel room now
everythings fallen down and i cant seem to find my way out
im trying to write these songs to get my mind off of the pain
twinkly guitars and broken hearts are all the same
if i could js see u tn i'd be so happy rn
(everything seems to be okay when ur not around)
it seems ur smile goes away whenever im around :(
(i can't seem to notice all the ways that u frown)

covet - shibuya played by me :)

shibuya riff - cover

lyrics:

ill leave in the meantime
its fine you need me time
give u some time for urself
grieve in the moonlight
repent for the old fights
go thru my own sense of hell
needed the distance
think i did too
dont rly miss us thats what ill say too
this isnt brand new
feels like this happened b4
this happened b4 my eyes
i sulk in the dark did i do this right
its hard to imagine a better life than one i have lived before
i have all the time for remorse
cast spells
cant tell
what u rly want if u rly wanted me
well i fell flat on my face with no signs of grace around
so i dont want anyone ever again when u lie to my face and show little repent
i dont want u
if all of these signs hold true
im sick of all of it
im not quite as tolerant
id rather be wrong than admit that u were right

kernel panic

thanks rena for letting me borrow your hihat !!

~~~~~~~~~~~

if you ever ran away from me
id drop everything to find you
if you were a fish you swam away from me
i would cast my net and catch you
my little runaway bunny
i know why you ran from where you came from
whiteout on the page to change your name
you can turn to me

when you came over that first time we hung
out i wrapped you up in a blanket caccoon
my instincts came online i never
knew i had till you woke them up
inside your caccoon you shed your skin we healed
we mended as the atoms in our bodies
remembered forming the same loving creature
now i watch that love as the wonder in your eyes
as i read to you

and im taken aback

by how much
i like that your broken in the same way as me
i like that your broken in the same way as me
i like that your broken in the same way as me
i like that your broken in the same way as me

its too bad the world is ending
this is a really nice moment to share with you

i like the face you make when i lick your wounds
i like everything about you
when i take a guess and find out your body
works in the same way as mine

but i dont like how the younger ones never noticed
your face intercepting every punch she tried to swing at them
i dont like how she scared you into hiding the
parts of you that wonder, or that cry or that
hunger for some vague warm thing you only
know should be there from negative space
let me be that warmer thing.  that maternal force
i learned to grieve life into to fix myself.

im magnetized to you

from how much
i like that your broken in the same way as me
i like that your broken in the same way as me
i like that your broken in the same way as me
i like that your broken in the same way as me

put your hand in mine in our secret world
we'll become something bigger than what we
know where boundaries between our bodies disappear and everything fades but light 


if you were a bird you flew away from me
id become a tree that you come home to
if you were a boat you sailed away from me
id become the wind and guide you
if you were a fish you swam away from me
i would cast my net and catch you
if you ever ran away from me
id drop everything to find you

I Like that You're Broken

welcome to my music blog >:)

this is my second account as I ran out of space on my first!

"Why" appears to be a conceptual, anthropomorphized embodiment of isolation and alienation, represented through a humanoid shadow form. From a psychological and perceptual science standpoint, several mechanisms contribute to why this is 

Pareidolia & Minimal Cues

The human brain is wired to detect faces and human forms with minimal visual cues (pareidolia).

"Why" has just enough human proportion to register as a person, but the absence of facial features prevents emotional reciprocity, creating unease.

Uncanny Valley Effect

The Uncanny Valley describes discomfort when something is almost human but missing key traits.

"Why" sits deep in this valley—fully human in outline, yet entirely devoid of eyes, skin tone, or expression, denying the viewer any social cues.

Contrast Psychology

Placing "Why" in bright, lively, or mundane environments (parties, gyms, grocery lines) creates cognitive dissonance.

The brain expects congruence between subject and environment; here, the stark mismatch intensifies the surreal impact.

Liminal Space & Isolation Response

Scenes featuring "Why" often exploit liminal spaces—moments or places in transition (waiting rooms, lines, parks).

Humans associate such spaces with anticipation or social activity; inserting a faceless void-like figure flips this expectation into existential discomfort.

Color Theory & Visual Hierarchy

"Why" is rendered in a deep, light-absorbing black against mid- to high-key backgrounds.

This maximizes visual contrast, making the figure the immediate focal point while also symbolically representing absence, depression, or entropy.

Symbolic Neuroscience

The amygdala responds to ambiguous threat cues. Because "Why" lacks identity, the brain overcompensates by imagining potential threat or meaning.

This unresolved cognitive loop keeps the viewer mentally "hooked" on the figure, trying to fill in the missing narrative.
