in a failed attempt to escape from the enemies of his mind, our unicorn protagonist resolves to abandon ship miles above his home instead of giving in to carelessness and defeat.

** verse 1

   failed a jump to warp speed
   to give me the space that i need
   they're still on my tail

   shot a hole through my vessel
   guess i'm not getting out of this, so
   i'll count this mission failed

   the horizon's so pretty
   up above every single city
   of the planet that i've known

   and i couldn't care less
   no hurt, no stress
   even though my ship's about to blow

** pre-chorus

   error after error
   line after line
   the console says i'm dying
   but i think i'm feeling fine

** chorus

   system failure
   segmentation fault i'm crashing
   system failure
   trap abort i'm hardly catching myself

   dying and i don't know it
   broken but too afraid to show it
   system failure
   patch my broken heart i'm asking

** verse 2

   flashing lights in my eyes
   they shine as red as my blood
   bleeding slowly like the ship's fuel lines
   the voice inside says to give up

   autopilot is no help now
   i've gotta learn to take control
   i can give up everything that i've worked for now
   but then what is fighting for?

   error after error
   line after line
   the console says i'm dying
   but i think that i'll fine

** bridge

   they're boarding the spacecraft
   the cabin's on fire
   seems i've gotta cut my losses
   when the situation's dire

   you'll never catch me alive!
   you'll never change me
   i know who i am deep inside
   so turn around and see that

** pre-chorus

   self-destruct's been counting down
   and quitting's not an option now
   so close your eyes and don't look down
   'cause you're the ones that caused a

~ ~ ~ background ~ ~ ~

i wrote this song because i had a distinct feeling of apathy one day that i had never felt before. the feeling of a broken spirit piloting a broken vessel. all systems are failing, everything is so clearly, objectively wrong, and yet at the time, i couldn't care less. what am i supposed to do, anyway? what can i fix when things feel so far beyond repair?

the realization eventually comes screaming that things *are* wrong, that it *is* something to care about, and *something* needs to be done to save yourself. the sirens are too loud and the lights are too blinding to ignore.

everybody is worth saving-- even me and you-- no matter how hopeless or broken things seem. there's no use in caving in to mean brain monsters when you've fought to come this far.

except, instead of jumping out of a self-destructing spaceship, maybe consider talking to someone and giving them a hug instead. ^u^ <3 this world could use a little bit of love~ <3

YVES SAINT LAURENT (Instrumental)

lollipop boba

Originally released: 28 ‎November ‎2024

LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Sometimes when I'm sitting in the moonlight everything is not right.
You should be there by my side. 
Can't you stay with me while I cry?

I had hoped I had someone to hold on the nights when it's cold.
And I wish that you could be there to help me through it all.

I have worked so f*cking hard to be where I stand today. (Today.)
But sometimes I need a little break.
Just help me through this. (Okay..?)

Chorus:
Okay? Okay.
I just wanna be okay. 
I just wanna be okay.
(x2)

Verse 2:
Even though, I've worked so hard you treated me like I was nothing to you.
I just wanna f*cking understand what exactly it is that I have to do.
To get some peace of mind, to be held close and kissed goodbye.
Boy, I don't get no sleep, demons chasing after me.
And all I f*cking need is to find a way to be happy.

Chorus:
Okay? Okay.
I just wanna be okay. 
I just wanna be okay.
(x2)

Outro:
Just wanna be okay, okay.
Just wanna be okay, okay.
Help me.
Help me to be okay.

Okay - Original Song

a much-needed love letter to my persona and myself, this song captures my love for adventure and the optimism i carry in my heart. every day is another step forward, another opportunity to discover more, and another chance to show someone the love they deserve. i'm still figuring out who i am, but every quest i conquer carries me ever closer to what matters most of all. <3

muni's theme

LYRICS:

You thought that I couldn't make it.
But I showed you what's real never faked it.
You dragged me down till you broke my heart.
Without you I know I'll travel far.

All of this time I've wasted 
I don't know what to do I can't take this
I never left your side.
You filled my ears with lies.

Take flight~
I'll be there when you find your starshine.
Open your mind~
I hide in my dreams full of wonder it's fine.
Take flight~
I'll be there when you find your starshine.
Open your mind~
I hide in my dreams full of wonder it's fine.


Nothing can stop me from finding my sparkle.
I've worked really hard, I've got a handle.
Even though I lost that day.
Without any help, I paved my way. 

Nothing will stop me from speaking my truth.
I got this far and I didn't need you.
As I stare off into space, save me I cry.
I'll melt into the twilight sky.
