Children Of The Machine (Star Wars Edition)
I wanted to do this before anyone else, even if no one reads it. These are the lyrics from Children of the Machine and how it’s relates to clone troopers in my mind. We will go by versus’s.
I also like the beat because to me I imagine it being footsteps and they are stomping down a hallway or something. Also at the very bottom is the lyrics untouched, if you want to read it first then read my opinion on the lines.
Versus One
I'll show you the truth : I see Fives/Tup trying to get everyone to see about order 66
I'll show you your purpose : I either see Palpatine activating order 66 (your purpose is to kill Jedi) or the Kaminoan’s training them to be soldiers
Just a pencil and a dream
Created for entertainment : Created for Palpatine plan/entertainment, it’s war, someone is going to enjoy it.
Versus Two & Seven
He lives on through us : Jango Fett living on through them/clones
Born from darkness, born from lust : Literally born from war/darkness, created by money/lust
'Cause when we reach the end
We do it all over again : They are willing to sacrifice themselves for their brothers over and over again
Versus Three & Eight & Ten
Follow me, we are children of the machine
Follow me could be a older vode showing a shiny how things work, etc. Children of the machine is because they were literally made by a machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams
Many people don’t see them as human, they see them as robots so some clones probably also see themselves has robots. City built on broken dreams can either be Kamino or Coruscant, they both probably had dreams at one point but now they don’t. Coruscant is ruled by politics and money, Kamino is ruled by money and experiments. They no longer have dreams because they aren’t human no longer in my opinion.
Follow me, we are children of the machine
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams
Versus Four
It's a joyless job
Who would have fun fighting in a war, not really a paid job either
When your heart's running empty at the seams (the seams)
Running on empty because it’s war and people die
But after eons filling up the bottle
Singing on a desperate pencil and a dream
I see them at 79s drinking and singing to forget, the write their dreams down on paper because they are drunk and delusional. In reality/sober they wouldn’t do that because they know it won’t very happen or come real.
Versus Five
Well, the void was filled when you lived
A brother died and someone else came and took his place/bed
To the empty ink, then we would sink
I’m thinking of tattoos or something
To the beat of a cog wheel turning
For some reason Jesse pops up in my head because of his tattoo, but the beat could be their hearts beating in their ‘robot’ body.
Love was the fuel that kept me from burning
Love for each other, kept them from falling apart
To create this finest design
You need a magic darker than mine
And a kiss from the angels
Casting demons down the bottom line
I think this is saying to create someone better than this love (finest design) your would have to have a dark magic to get pass the angels (shinies) and to the demons (veterans). That’s the only thing I can see for this.
Versus Six
So wonderful how deep the love can flow
'Cause when you came into my life
I couldn't bear to let go
But the curtain came to close
Maybe they could be taking about each other and their love for them and then they died or order 66. It could also be seen has the Jedi coming into their lives, in my opinion I think most of the Jedi were the only ones to see them has humans with feelings, then order 66. I think the clones got attached to them because they saw them has humans unlike Krell and everyone else.
Versus Nine
In the dark nightmare, see the spotlight glare
And accept your fate in time (in time)
In the dark nightmare, see the spotlight glare
And accept your fate in time
Two ways this can be seen, they could be having a nightmare and wake up to vode (spotlight) in the darkness. Or more likely, order 66 happened (nightmare), they see each other which is spotlight but order 66 made it glare/blurry. Accept your fate in time is them realizing they killed innocent Jedi or maybe they are accepting they will all be killed off.

I'll show you the truth
I'll show you your purpose
Just a pencil and a dream
Created for entertainment
He lives on through us
Born from darkness, born from lust
'Cause when we reach the end
We do it all over again
Follow me, we are children of the machine
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams
Follow me, we are children of the machine
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams
It's a joyless job
When your heart's running empty at the seams (the seams)
But after eons filling up the bottle
Singing on a desperate pencil and a dream
Well, the void was filled when you lived

We're born from darkness, born from lust
'Cause when we reach the end
We do it all over again
Follow me, we are children of the machine
(We built this machine!)
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams
Follow me, we are children of the machine
(You came to life!)
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams
In the dark nightmare, see the spotlight glare
And accept your fate in time (in time)
In the dark nightmare, see the spotlight glare
And accept your fate in time
Follow me, we are children of the machine
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams

@dragon-subway you chose 4 and got Type O Negative! I picked Cody and ‘Haunted’ :)
#kushdraws#commander cody#purge trooper cody#the clone wars#Star Wars#spotify sketches#thank you for the req!! sorry it took so long lmao#v hard to pick a song for Cody from type o negative bc they are all about hot goth sex#I was going to pick Bad Ground from the start of October Rust because it’s just static and that could have been fun and angst#but cherry picking applicable lyrics was also very fun#Spotify

Thinking about the song "Ship in Port" by Radical Face and clones
Thinking about the line "Farewell to the chains we were born into" and what that can mean for the clones
Thinking about how "But I have always stayed in place/Under that old illusion that it's safe" could equally describe Hunter, Echo, and (s1+2) Crosshair's complete opposite approaches to the Empire and post-war life.
The way Crosshair clings to his identity as a soldier of the Empire
And Echo as a soldier of the Republic
But Hunter puts his identity as a soldier behind him
Crosshair fights for the Empire to gain purpose
Echo fights against the Empire to save his brothers
And Hunter decides the Empire is too strong to even try to oppose
"A ship in port is a safer one"
"but it's not the reason it was made"
"So forgive me if I wander off"
"And forgive me more if I just stay"
Thinking about what The Bad Batch could have been if it had more fully explored the differences between those ideologies
(Thinking about what The Bad Batch could have been if it had dedicated more screen time to the 'reg' clones within the Empire and the underground network's fight to free them , instead of just sidelining Echo and Rex for a hypothetical clone rebellion show we might never get)
#i have lots of thoughts and many draft posts in which i've been struggling to figure out how to word those thoughts#tbb had SO much potential#it was so close!#it really could have been on par with Andor if it has just tried#i feel like i'm projecting these themes that aren't really there#the pieces are there the show just didn't focus on them#i considered saying hunter 'hides from the empire to protect his family' but that never included crosshair just omega#so that felt like giving him too much credit#ignore the music video i just really love the acoustic version bc MMM that viol!#the rest of the lyrics totally fit for clones of this era too btw#like SO WELL ugh#if i had the time resources and attention span I'd make a music video#maybe someday...#(lol i have waay too many projects stuck in my brain and also the new semester started and i'm already so behind rip)#while we're on the subject of radical face and clones#“always gold” is THE perfect heartbreaking Kix song!#tbb#tbb analysis#sw tcw#tbb echo#tbb hunter#tbb crosshair#arc trooper echo#the clones#radical face#bardic musings#sorry i didn't credit the gifs#this has been in my drafts since long before i knew people care about that and i can't find where i found them from#just know the shitty ones are the ones i made lol

I'll Be Your Commander
Summary: While going about your day in the hangar of the Resolute, you can't help but prank your favourite Captain.
Author's Note: I wrote this at 1AM and thought it would be funny. I know he's not a Commander (technically). But I couldn't get his face out of my head. Inspired by Commander by Kelly Rowland.
youtube
The clones were all lined up, all of them ready for roll call. Rex was walking along the lines in front of you as you watched from your position on top of a LAATie that you were meant to be working on. This morning was all about the troopers running drills and since you've been the subject of a few of the 501st pranks, now was a perfect time to play a prank of your own. And of course, you were going to go bigger and better than they ever could.
"You all know what is expected of you. After our last battle, I was made aware that we lost crucial time in our attack due to protocols not being followed. Today-" Rex announced, looking at each of his men as he passed. All of them in parade rest, helmets on but he knew that they were listening to every word he said as he made his way up and down the lines.
As he did, you pressed a button on your vambrace. You had set it up perfectly, and you hid your smile as the speakers in the hangar started blaring.
"I'LL BE YOUR COMMANDER! (I'LL BE YOUR COMMANDER)"
Switching it off, you couldn't help but watch as Rex froze before spinning around, trying to find out what the kriff was going on. You fought with yourself to keep a bewildered look on your face, just like everybody else. You couldn't give it away by bursting into laughter.
"Mac, what is going on? Are we under attack?" Rex demanded, turning to the engineer that was already pulling out his data pad to find out.
"I don't believe we're under attack sir, it seems to be coming from a short range device" he reported to his Captain. He was typing away, trying to figure out where the music was coming from.
"We may have a separatist spy on board if that is the case. No-" Rex frowned, turning back to his men as his fingers hovered over his blasters.
Smirking, I pressed the button again.
"NO FEAR, NO DOUBT, I'LL PROVIDE THE ANSWER!"
"Uh, sir... I can track the device used to hack into the speakers. It'll take a couple of minutes" Mac grimaced, seeing the irritated look spread over his Captain's face. Rex just nodded in confirmation, face turning a slight pink in colour, whether from anger or embarrassment, you couldn't tell from your position up top.
"RIGHT NOW I COMMAND YOU TO DANCE!"
There was a few muffled laughs from the clones in front of you and more than a few were rocking to the beat of the song. It was going better than you could have ever hoped for.
"Shall we dance sir?" Hardcase asked, leaning forward to look past Jesse's shoulder.
"Hardcase!" Rex rebuked, as the song continued to play over the speaker, drowning out what he was attempting to say to his men.
"Seems like a prank, sir" Kix told him, glad of his helmet to hide the smile that spread across his face.
Rex scowled, hearing it anyway in his vod's voice before turning sharply to find the culprit.
"FIVES!" Rex yelled, looking at his troublesome brother. He was always one to pull pranks and have a laugh, but he had gone too far this time. Humiliating him while conducting drills was a new one and he was going to make sure he wouldn't forget this punishment.
"What?! It wasn't me this time! Promise!" Fives swore, resting a hand in his heart.
Oh, this was perfect! You had a feeling that Fives may be blamed for your stunt. He was one of the worst pranksters on the Resolute, and you enjoyed winding each other up. But Fives had nothing on you!
"I'LL BE YOUR COMMANDER (I-I'LL BE YOUR COMMANDER)"
You were having so much fun, watching Rex get more and more irritated as the song continued and his men lost formation and chuckled and snorted in amusement at the words. When you had heard the song, you had instantly thought of Rex and the Commander batch. You were glad that you had the forethought to record this on the surveillance tapes for Cody and the others. They would get a right giggle out of this and add it to their collection of material in which to tease their vod'ika.
"Sir! I found the location of the hacker. They're in the hangar" Mac declared, handing over the data pad to show Rex where and who was responsible for this. He couldn't help but chuckle, this drill had turned out more entertaining than they normally was. It was needed after the last few campaigns.
Rex took it from him, scanning the information on the page. Nodding swiftly, he straightened up.
That should have been your first clue. But you were too busy enjoying your success to notice that Mac had given Rex his datapad. However, as soon as Rex turned sharply and his narrowed eyes met yours across the hangar, you knew you were in trouble.
"Y/N!"
Rex's loud bark of a shout had you cursing, scrambling to get off the LAATie and run for your life away from the furious Captain.
With a speed that surprised you, Rex was already beginning to scramble up the transport vehicle to grab you. Shit how could you have forgotten how agile he was? You had barely made it off the edge before you felt the air move from where his hand had tried to reach for you and missed.
"I'm sorry!" you yelled over your shoulder, ducking around a turbo cart that was in your path as you headed further into the ship. Hearing a loud growl from Rex as he chased you down, you wondered if the General would find the prank amusing enough to get you out of whatever Rex was planning for you.
"Don't run vod'ika, he's your Commander!" Fives shouted after you to the amusement and laughter of his fellow soldiers.

Italics - flashback
Main Master List | Star Wars Jukebox Roulette | AO3 Link
Crosshair limped his way off the transport, fighting the pain from the bruises he received, on the bright side his hand was no longer shaking.
However, it seemed the rain followed them from Tantiss to Pabu. It wasn’t even a light drizzle, this was a tropical storm at it’s finest, just sheets upon sheets of rain pounding the ground, preventing his vision from taking in his surroundings. At least he wasn’t as hampered as his brothers though with their vision.
As soon as you saw the shuttle’s lights, you didn’t hesitate and ran to the ramp. You couldn’t care less how much it rained, how windy it got, you needed to see him. You needed to hold him in your arms, to quiet the voices that told you, you’d lost him forever.
When he escaped from Tantiss with Omega, he barely even looked at you. It was impossible to even hear his voice, as soon as he knew you were around, he clammed up and refused to talk to you or around you. However, slowly with the help of Omega and his brothers, he started to heal, started to open up to you again. In fact, things were starting to progress when Ventress visited.
You sat watching Omega train with Ventress, amazed by the abilities Ventress possessed and also by the complete 180 switch in her personality. She was nothing like you learned from the holo-briefings you used to be a part of.
You couldn’t help letting out a giggle, as drool from Batcher’s lip slipped down onto your trousers. She had claimed your lap as her own, half her body covered one thigh, while her head rested on your other thigh. Not that you minded really, thankfully you had a boulder to lean against, so her weight wasn’t as unbearable as it could have been as you gently stroked her head.
“You can go in, I’m sure that position isn’t as comfortable as you make it seem.”
You turned your head to see the snarly look of your favourite sniper.
“It’s okay.” You couldn’t help but smile at his sour face, “I’m someone’s pillow currently.” You pointed at Batcher. Even though it was almost imperceptible you could see the side of his mouth crook up in a smile. “Sit.” You patted the spot beside you.
“I think you’re confusing me with the mutt on your lap.”
“Not at all.” You smiled at him, “Because if I asked you to sit, you would’ve grunted a no and then walked off. This way, you don’t have a chance to reject my offer.” He didn’t say much, he simply crooked his eyebrow as he looked at you, you let out a sigh of annoyance “Alright fine, would you kindly please keep me company and sit with me?”
“Wow, look at that manners.” He teased as he sat down beside you, flicking his toothpick at your arm, a self-satisfied grin slowly appearing on his face.
You simply rolled your eyes as you wiped off the spot he hit on your arm, shaking your head as you hid your smirk, turning your attention back to Omega.
Silence filled the space between the two of you as you both kept an eye on Omega and Ventress, it wasn’t uncomfortable or awkward, it was actually rather nice. Peaceful. And if you two had been talking this entire time, you probably would’ve kept this silence going.
However, you’d been dying to hear his voice ever since he appeared beside you, and waiting half an hour was long enough to let him feel comfortable beside you, before you forced him to actually talk.
“How are you feeling today?” You softly asked.
Crosshair simply shrugged, he didn’t react to your question outside of stretching out his legs in front of him, “Better … well somewhat …” he let out a sigh of defeat, “truthfully, not really.”
“Is it the nightmares, again?”
He turned to look at you, his eyes narrowing full of annoyance and accusations, he didn’t respond, letting his eyes do the talking.
“I didn’t ask and no one told me.” You held up your hand in surrender, hoping he’d believe you, “But …” you gently rubbed the back of your neck as your eyes shifted from his eyes to the ground, “your guys’ house is right next to mine and your bedroom window faces mine.”
You shifted your focus, paying attention to Batcher, stroking her behind her ears.
Cross focused his attention back on Omega, his annoyance and anger diminishing as you explained. It took him a minute before he finally answered.
“They come and go.”
You nodded, as you listened, “Is there anything that triggers them?”
“Not from what I can figure. Tech…” his voice faltered for a second, “if Tech was here, he’d probably would’ve figured it out soon enough. Probably would’ve figured out how to fix my hand too.”
You fought the tears that always sprung up when you thought of Tech, you cleared your throat as you focused back on the subject at hand, “Do you wanna talk about it? About the nightmares? Sometimes talking helps.”
“No.”
It was the only answer he was going to give and you weren’t going to push it either, you simply nodded as you focused back on Omega.
“You know I’m always here for you. I’ve always been here for you. So if you need someone to catch you, I’ll be there”
“You can’t catch me.”
“I’m sorry?” You turned to look at him.
“I’m falling. Falling into despair, and … I know you want to be there for me. I know. However, the truth is you can’t catch me. You can’t stop me from falling. I … I don’t want you to be tainted by my own demons.”
For the first time since he came back, you both finally looked into each other’s eyes, you offered a soft smile, “I’m not afraid of being tainted, and maybe I won’t be able to stop you from falling, but that doesn’t mean I won’t keep trying.”
So here you were, waiting for him to come off this shuttle as you gripped your arms doing your best to stay warm despite the cold rain.
As soon as your eyes landed on Crosshair trudging along, holding his arm against his stomach protecting it from the elements. He looked exhausted, in pain and just done. The moment his foot hit the floor of Pabu, you didn’t wait, you rushed over, jumping to wrap your arms around him, pulling him closer and holding him as tight as you possibly could.
Despite the fact, you were prepared he’d toss you aside not wanting close contact, you were surprised when he didn’t push you away. Instead of feeling him pull away, he gently and tenderly wrapped his arm around you, pulling you impossibly close as he buried his face in the crook of your neck.
The two of you stood there holding each other despite the rain, despite the pain he was in. You both ignored the looks and shocked expressions on everyone else’s faces as they stood watching the two of you.
Crosshair let out a shaky breath as he found comfort in your arms and peace. In truth, he found his home. He finally felt like someone had caught him. That you caught him, and he wasn’t going to walk away. Not now. Not ever.
“Please don’t let me fall.” He mumbled into your neck.
“Never. I’ll never let you fall. I’ll catch you every time.”
