An original song based on an anime? Well this is new! Gundam Witch From Mercury absolutely caught my heart when it came out when people were drawing parallels between SuleMio with Lumity, then this show ended up being way cooler than just that!
This song was actually written when the first season finished, then it just started getting more and more applicable as the show went on with Season 2, so I'm starting to get really nervous with how the rest of it is gonna pan out!
lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Hey mom, I'm sorry if it's sudden but,
Have I been a good daughter to you?
I trail your footsteps and believe the lies you say to my face,
Hey friends, please stop me if you've heard it, but,
What the hell did I ever do to you?
I seek forgiveness for the hand that I extend in disgrace,
To set the record straight, this was never my choice,
I'm sent straight into the void, screaming without a voice,
'Cause all I ever really wanted was approval and love,
From above, I never asked for you to save me,
I'll do whatever it takes just to convince you,
I'll even take a life knowing it'll save you,
I'm losing what's in sight, my conscience is a fading light,
Everyday I fight 'till I cry at night, no one by my side,
[PRE-CHORUS]
I'm waiting, I'm losing hope,
(My conscience speaks through your voice)
I'm waiting, I'm losing hope,
(Sense of morality is now a distant memory)
[CHORUS]
This message keeps playing on repeat,
"Admit that you were born for defeat",
Despair chills me to the bone,
Take a seat, sit by me,
Purpose I need to be free,
This part you play's set in stone,
'Cause I don't wanna be alone,
[VERSE 2]
These days it's hard to be indifferent when,
I'm always pulled in one way or the other,
Caught in the cracks of white and black,
When shades of my hue's from another,
I always thought that my role would be clearer,
But now I know that my purpose is to be feared,
The cards are stacked for those unlike me,
When I live outside the binary,
Must I repeat myself, before I lose myself,
Before I play into your hands just to destroy myself?
Because I think that you're mistaking me for someone else,
And I don't recognize the game you play when I see hell break loose,
A recluse, 'cause poor Suletta never had much to lose,
Light the fuse, the girl you know will self-destruct, read the news,
And while I beg you to stay, I watch myself slip away,
Because the truth is I deserve what now goes down to this day,
[PRE-CHORUS]
I'm waiting, I'm losing hope,
(My conscience speaks through your voice)
I'm waiting, I'm losing hope,
(Right now, don't say that I never tried)
[CHORUS]
This message keeps playing on repeat,
"Admit that you were born for defeat",
Despair chills me to the bone,
One moment, I'll own it,
Listening to you, I've blown it,
Is it why I'm cast out like this?
'Cause I don't wanna be alone,
[BREAKDOWN]
Blood stains, my hands, too late, I stand unphased,
You, no matter how hard I try,
I know I'll never be like any one of you,
Cracks I'm seeping through, 'cause,
You don't understand what I'm going through,
You don't understand what I've done for you,
[CHORUS]
This message keeps playing on repeat,
"Admit that you were born for defeat",
Despair chills me to the bone,
(To set the record straight, this was never my choice)
Now I've learned, now I know,
Never let my weakness show,
You've now got nowhere to go,
'Cause I dont wanna be alone
