Just an Eliatrope trying to go home...
youtube
I look into your eyes and I think back to the [brother] of mine.
You’re as old as he was when I left for war.
Will these actions haunt my days?
Every [sibling] I’ve slain?
Is the price I pay endless pain?
Close your eyes and spare yourself the view.
How could I hurt you?
I’m just a man who’s trying to go home.
Even after all the years away from what I’ve known.
I’m just a man who’s fighting for his life.
Deep down I would trade the world to see my [sister] and [dears].
I’m just a man.
But when does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?
When does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
When does a man become a monster?
When does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?
(Forgive me)
When does a man become a monster?
(Forgive me)
When does a man become a monster?
(Forgive me)
.
.
. I’m just a man...

This was painful. I was wincing every third line, and I had to restrain myself from correcting you in the notes lmao. Good job?
In an honor of the subtle (but for my neurodivergent brain A VERY PAINFUL) change of lyrics in "Done For" from "so you better cower before me" to "so you better cower now and flee", i decided to make this subtly different but cursed version of The Horse and the Infant. Enjoy.
Alright, my comrades, listen closely
Tonight we make the Trojans pay
Ten years of war, they've killed us slowly
But now we'll be the ones who slay them
Think of your wives and your children
Your family wonders where you've been
They're growing old and you are still here
Do as I say and you'll see them again
Yes, sir
Diomedes will lead the charge
Agamemnon will flank the guards
Menelaus will let our mates through the gates
To take the whole city at charge
Teucer will shoot any ambush attack
And Little Ajax, you'll stay back
Nestor, secure Helen and protect her
Neo, avenge your father, kill the brothers of Hector
Yes, sir
Find that inner strength now
Use that will and pride
Fight through all the pain now
Ask yourself inside
What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?
What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?
Penelope
Penelope
And Telemachus
I fight for you
I fight for you
(What do you live for?)
Telemachus
(What do you try for?)
Penelope
(What do you wish for?)
I am on my way
(What do you fight for?)
Attack
What was that?
A vision
Of what is to come, cannot be undone
Can only be dealt with right here and now
Show me how
I don't think you're ready
A mission
To kill someone's son
A foe who can't run
Unlike anyone you have faced before
Say no more, I know that I'm ready
I don't think you're ready
It's just a baby
It's just a boy
What sort of imminent threat does he pose, that I cannot avoid?
This is the child of none other than Troy's very own Prince Hector
Know that he will grow from a boy to a soldier
One fueled with rage as you're consumed by age
If you don't kill him now, you'll have no one left to save
You can say goodbye to
(Penelope)
You can say goodbye to
(Telemachus)
I can raise him as my own (he will burn your house and throne)
Or take him far away from home (he'll find you wherever you go)
Make sure his past is never known (the gods will make him know)
I'd rather bleed for you (they're bringing you)
I'm on my knees for you (down on your knees for you)
I'm begging, please (oh, this is the will of your gods)
Please don't make me do it, don't make me do it
The blood on your hands is something you won't lose
All you can choose is whose

I’ve read the comments on my post abt soulsborne sleep token thing! Here’s some concept art I tried. More is on the way just… HW ew. Tagging people who were interested/encouraging this idea: @sleep-token @wingedinsect @moonchild-in-blue @foundationsofdecay @madsthenightowl @a-s-levynn
Undercut is me mindlessly rambling about what’s going on in my brain about this. Don’t read unless you like torturing yourself with reading.
I guess to start, I have only played Elden Ring (crucible knight more like crucible kill yours-IM JOKING), I’ve watched some lore videos on Elden Ring Bloodborne and DS1, haven’t played DS1 yet, and have all the art books except DS2 (cause nobody likes DS2). I’ve played very limited DND games. I’ve read lots of weaponry wiki pages but I have bad memory. If any information I say below is incorrect (like I say this sword is two-handed but it’s not or I misspell spauldor… spalder? Spauldron?) please correct me. I’m just using information I know and I’m always open to suggestions and feedback!
Random Lore Bits: Sleep and the Whale lived in peace but Sleep was always the higher deity. It created all that lives on the land and the TMBTE creatures. Sleep had many worhsippers but Vessel and the rest stood out. They were appointed as the highest knights of sleep. Vessel always had Sleep’s favor and therefore became Sleep’s vessel. Confusing I’m aware lmao. Sleep and Whale became enemies somehow and Sleep injured the whale, causing it to die. This time period before the Whale’s death was called Eden. NPCs speak of Eden all the time about how, “Peace and day has never been restored since Eden” “Eden is over” “If the whale were here, Eden would still be here”. All followers of Sleep become corrupt.
Bosses: Once killed, all bosses turn into statues and have branches grow out of them. They aren’t dead, just dormant. You can fight them again but returning to their fight area and making an offering of a certain amount of tokens. Once defeated again they return to being dormant. If you defeat all resurrected bosses (fought each one twice) you get smth called a Talisman of Blood (important later).
Regular enemies: Idk skeletons???? Giant birds??? Snakes???? Giant insectoids Idk bro???
Location: Like Elden Ring lands between, it’s called Fields of Elation. The capital city is either Nazareth or Jericho. I’ll try to incorporate Calcutta somehow. Geography is a mix of frigid coast, deep dark forest, large cavernous cave strictures, old ruined castles with mysterious rusty machinery inside, sparatic temples to sleep (all whale temples were destroyed), and the remnants of towns. Large trade road that goes through the entirety of the land is called the Path of Reason??? Idk bro I’m spitballing.
Currency: Tokens. Killing enemies and bosses earns you large amounts of tokens and like how runes work, you can level up you and your armaments with them.
Waypoints: Sites of grace, bonfires, more like RITUALS (I am not funny). I think calling waypoints rituals makes sense.
Flasks HP/FP: Estus Flask, Flask of Crimson/Cruelean Tears…. How about Flssk of H I G H W A T E R. Nah I’m kidding. No idea! Suggestions are open! I’m reading lyrics and nothings jumping out.
Incantations/Spells: Can be equipped to magic armaments and weapons! Kinda like you can choose between spell sword or just being a wizard.
Player Character: Tarnished, undead, hunter…. No idea what to call them. Robes and garments Very inspired by TPWBYT. Thinking the whale was an ancient god defeated by Sleep. Player Character is gifted with a certain power of the whale and was resurrected to defeat Sleep. Game opens with epic cutscene and player charter emerges from a cavern (TLYW) and goes through it before finding themselves on the coast of a freezing raging sea and an inviting forest. There’s probably one class you play as cause I’m lazy and you just collect armor and new weapons on the journey. TLYW style robes with greaves, hood, and gauntlets. Basic longsword.
Vessel: I’ve read the feedback and I agree that staff needs to stay. Live laugh staff. I’ve seen a few Elden ring builds where it’s right armament is staff for casting the long range stuff and left armament is a short sword, miséricorde (mercy dagger), scimitar(?), or other various short weapons. I like the image of this because I imagine him having somewhat light armor so if you’re far away, he spell. If you’re close, he stab. Spells are gonna be red. Change my mind. I like the Elden Ring boss Maliketh’s magic attacks so I imagine something like that. I imagine his boss fight starts with epic cut scene with him kneeled in a big arching cathedral temple type place and he’s like, “you seek to defeat the vessel of Sleep, foolish warrior? I have not known defeat against those of the sea nor those of Sleep” or some crazy bs like that. Half health, hands of Sleep show up and swipe and grab and Player Character. Just giant spindly hands that appear and float around. Attempts to break away form Sleep control but fails so that why he evil >:}
II: Dual wielding… what? No idea. I want him to dual wild some sort of straight weapon cause like drumsticks but honestly… sickles are so badass… Med. to light armor so he can move around a lot. Some sort of helmet with feather Mohawk. Boss area is probably in a fort outside of the main city. Just you and this guy. Get ready for a stamina check.
III: I’m torn between frenzied flame/black flame style magic user or spell sword. If magic, light armor. If spell sword, med. armor. Boss fight in a large old temple, candlelit and torn tapestries everywhere. Better have some fire immunity talismans on you.
IV: Halbert. All the way. Heavy armor my guy. Idk not much to say. Thinking banished knight ornstein inspo?? Boss fight Outside the gates to Vessel/Sleep’s castle. Vigor check time!!!
Chokehold: large dark cavern with webs strung about. It appears from above like, “A traitor to Sleep, hm? Pity. You seemed like you would be a good asset to the Vessel’s artillery.” Big axe time. High HP high strength boss. Vulnerable spot is probably its stomach area. Gives you armor, weapon, talisman, and incantation “Branches in a Flood” (roots sprout from the ground and entangle enemy).
The Summoning: Player probably stumbles upon the fight after meeting Aqua Regia and Granite. Mean killing machine. Idk what else to say erm… maybe player interacts with a sleep token symbol on a pillar with runes and it summons (pun intended) the summoning creature??? Stonehenge lookin boss area. Armor, weapons, talisman, and incantations are dropped.
Granite: Relatively peaceful NPC. Dialogue options are cool and it probably raises stats and alters your armaments. Quest line ends with Granite maybe just becoming dormant or it becomes a member of sleep again and sad boss fight initiates. Drops its armor, axes, root/weed talisman that increases stamina and immunity.
Aqua Regia: Chill and never ends in boss fight. Probably lets you summon them during other boss fights. Spear and sword. Gifts you new armor and talismans. Quest line maybe ends with them becoming too weak to keep battling and becomes dormsnt. You get their armor, spear, sword, rose talisman that raises FP, and a spell/incantation that shoots gold acid rays called Gold Rush or smth similar (Like Aqua Regia? Get it?)
Vore: Awesome boss. Inflicts poison damage for sure. I think we can all imagine how fighting Vore would be. In a poison lake haha it wants you to suffer. Armor, weapons, talisman, and incantations are dropped.
Ascensionism: Swords swords swords. Pulls a Starscourge Radahn and turns a meteor and player has to dodge lmao (cause yk ascending). Boss area is probably in a giant colosseum that’s old and crumbling. Armor, weapons, talisman, and incantations are dropped.
Are You Really Okay?: Player character pulls a stupid and decides to touch and inspect the strange incubator with a fetus inside and AYRO appears and is like “DONT TOUCH MY CHILD” initiate boss fight. Small castle is the boss fight area. Armor, weapons, talisman, and incantations are dropped.
The Apparition: Big guy, big hammer. Boss fight is somewhere in a forest clearing. No other ideas for it. Drops weapons, armor, talisman, incantations like everyone else.
DYWTYLM: Chokehold but with tiny dagger and looks like a giant engine. Probably shoots fire from the pipes on its body? Chokehold is PISSED if you defeat this guy first. Brothers fr fr. Boss fight in an old building filled with machinery. Speed is low but HP is super high. Drops armor, weapons, incantations, and talisman.
Rain: Your magic immunity better be HIGH. Renala style fight: Crazy hits, bad defense. Probably drops some crazy cool incantations, armor (really bad armor), and a talisman of fire immunity and raises your FP. Boss fight area is in a shiny crystaly forest area surrounded by weeping willow/wisteria like trees.
Take Me Back To Eden: The last boss before Vessel. Killer fight. Armor is also fire??? Difficult but probably super dope. Boss fight is in a SUPER large hallway in the castle of Sleep. Drops weapons, armor, talisman of resistance against airborne attacks.
Euclid: NPC that’s probably cranky and hesitant to befriend you at first. Still a follower of Sleep but respects the players fate to defeat the sleepmiester (I’m so tired bro—). Might fight you idk.Once dormant, drops and old mask of Vessel, a few incantations, and armor.
Endings: Endings one: You defeat vessel, sleep becomes dormant and no gods rule over the land. Creatures and vessels are resurrected. Endings 2: You defeat vessel and become the new Vessel of Sleep. No difference from first ending, you just chose if ya wanna be evil or not. Endings 3: If you acquire the Talisman of Blood, Sleep sees you worthy to fight them without using a vessel. Radagon Elden Beast situation. When you defeat sleep, the whale is resurrected.

12. ESTONIA 5Miinust & Puuluup - "(nendest) Narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" 20th place
youtube
Decade Ranking: 40/153 [Above Trenuletul, below Pasha Parfeny]
For those of you who don't speak Estonian.
This is message for those that didn't believe in them.
Guess where they are honey.
They're in the final.
and they're here to stay 💋 :dramatic tallharpa:
YES, I KNOW, they're out this early. Honestly, It feels incorrect to rank 5M&P anywhere other than right above Trenuletul (their spiritual ancestor), and we've already reached them point on the spreadsheet, so... Blame that year for producing 11 better entries.
I don't think Estonia warrants an introduction this year. From the second ANY of us heard :inhales: nendestnarkootikumidesteiteameküllmidagi, :exhales (this may seem difficult to type out, but I speak a language that has words such as meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis and arbeidsongeschiktheidscommissie. Pity for the five readers I get from countries such as Romania and Portugal). Anyway, from the second any of us heard [LongestTitleEver], we all knew we were going to be in for a WILD ride.
And indeed, if there's anything you can say about Estonia is that their song went HARD in basically every live performance.
THE MEMEDANCE
(symmetrically branching out 😍)
THE TAVERN BRAWL INTO FRATERNIZATION NARRATIVE
OLD FARTS CARRYING ♥ ♥ ♥
(Yeah he does look like VSauce, i knooow...x)
Shenanigans coated by song whose lyrics effectively boil down to "Don't do drugs! Drugs are bad! Allow me to demonstrate all that can go wrong. :demonstrates absolutely nothing wrong: " 😍. This entry is hotter than a stovetop.
Never forget that they qualified, fairly comfortably, from the semi of death, with an absolutely FOUL live performance! 😂 (no wonder that Sofia Coll comparison came naturally...x). Sometimes the song and concept are good enough to carry a televote, take notes countries with no idea what makes a televoter tick (Belgium, Austria, Azer...x).
All in all, it was a really fun ride, so why not higher?
Well... You know I love a good trainwreck and Estonia provided one... but it's the same deal as Raiven and Kaleen in a sense. I think the song's really good on its own. It's a rich composition that masterfully showcases Estonia's musical tradition. No other country in the WORLD could present an entry like (Nendest) Narkootikumidest.
Yet, I found that the lives didn't do it as much justice as I would have liked. (Nendest) Narkootikumidest's first live I saw (the one at Hommik Aniga) remains the best one, largely because they managed to curb the chaos for just the right amount of time before unleashing it into a psychedelic shitstorm. What we got in Malmö was very fun too, but not quite as epic.
It's a little bit nitpicky, I know, but bear with me. I really like everyone left in the ranking. It's the little details such as "this doesn't reach its full potential" or "these vocals are kinda crooked" (both of which apply to Estonia 💔) that are going to make or break your further survival, alongside my personal whim. (Nendest) Narkootikumidest was good, and I cherish it, but I know it could have been better (case in point: Finland beat them by a handful of points 💀), and that realization sealed their fate for me.
That said, MEGA STOKED Estonia qualified (and some of my friends got to hang out with them during the off-time in Malmö you can imagine how jealous I am), so let's hear the song one last time, with THIS handy format so you have no excuse to misidentify Marko, Ramo, Lancelot, Kölver, North Korea (lol) and Päevakoer ever again!
youtube
and um lol yes another year with Lithuania as the top Baltic. Funny how that remains a constant over the years. (#LETTHEMHAVETHEIRFIRSTWINSOON)

🎧 OST for the The Dragon Prince Season 6 Trailer "Standing Defiant" 🎙️
WHOEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING THIS TRAILER TOGETHER NEEDS TO PAY FOR ALL OUR THERAPY BILLS ASAP 💀💀💀💀
youtube
Trailer below for comparison. Okay, did they seriously just put Dark Mage Callum as a thumbnail— We're doomed, y'all. 💀
youtube
Check out the teasers' soundtracks, Aerial View and Gargantuan!
Lyrics
Head between your knees Can’t you hear the call Can’t you hear it screaming for relief
Waiting for the chance There’s a hidden strength To set free
When you feel it It’s surreal, it’s No surprise we rise
The earth shakes, the sky shivers The stars fall out of alignment We are the sinners The new stars standing defiant Oh-oh Oh-oh
Hanging off the edge Waiting for a sign Waiting for somebody to defend
Don’t you wait too long There’s a map inside of your head
When you feel it It’s surreal, it’s No surprise we rise
The earth shakes, the sky shivers The stars fall out of alignment We are the sinners The new stars standing defiant
They won’t bring us down They can’t shake us now They are running from this war We’re raging like the perfect storm
They won’t bring us down They can’t shake us now They are running from defeat We’ll see them all upon their knees
The earth shakes, the sky shivers The stars fall out of alignment We are the sinners The new stars standing defiant Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh Oh
Since it seems like it's harder to find the lyrics online. You can find them in the Lyric Info for the song on Extreme Music. 😅
Notes: Yes, got Extreme Music to make their updates. 😊 So lyrics are 100% correct now. There's also a bunch of extra Oh's they didn't write down and no echoes jotted down either.
Further Notes
The only other time they used a lyrical song was for Season 3's Recap video: Make This End. 3 seasons later, we're here. As someone said in the yt comments, you know the season's gonna be fire if they're using a song here too. 🔥
Like usual, the song is available on Extreme Music and other distributing platforms such as Spotify. "Standing Defiant" was composed by Devin Hoffman, Figero Scripp, and Lily Marly as the singer.
It was also released in February 5, 2024. 😳 Meaning the trailer finished sometime between then and June 3 when it was first uploaded on the S6 Trailer playlist. Not gonna go into that story of how we discovered that title leak. 😂
Keywords: Cool, Electronic, Epic, Heroic, Punchy, Struggle, Thrilling
👀 me looking at that word "Struggle" right there 😨
I'm comin' after Netflix if they purposely searched for this song with the word "struggle" 👿🗡️👿👿🗡️👿🗡️
Edit: I just texted Villads since I already knew he made the edits for many trailers. He also chose the music for this as well.
And error: looking at the subtitles for the Netflix-issued trailer. Netflix is incorrect for "The Sun shivers." It's clearly "Sky". I mean seriously, nobody's gonna have the money or time to get the singers to customize a song just to fit the scene. 😂 They just buy the song off the music producer's platform.

Okay I have some thoughts about the vengence saga. Unfiltered through thoughts, just what I think about it after only a few listens (like less than a dozen.
This is going to be a long one.
The first half slaps quite a bit; The voice of Calypso is great, Troy is always a pleasure to hear and the writing fits them just as well as it did in wisdom and circe sagas respectfully.
Ballads like 'I'm not sorry for loving you' are songs that take me some time to get warm to, so i want say much about it.
Dangerous is a little slowed and burdened by the intro; if it were a musical and the albums we got were a soundtrack, I would cut the song to begin basically after the ody intro (though that would be just a bit difficult because it follows exactly into hermes' parts). It feels somewhat expositiony and isnt written as well as it could have been? I might be wrong here, thing is, it just doest sit with me well writing wise. Soon as Troy enters stage, Dangerous goes HARD. The back half of dangerous slaps incredibly, no notes. Big fan of ody's verse too. and oh my god the livestream animatic. ody fighting monsters and hermes is there just DANCIN, my boy
Now charybdis feels like a transitional song a lot, which is okay. One that is more exposition than anything. Shit you need to talk about and set up; youre gonna have those in a 40 song musical. For a transitional song its quite cool, though its kind of hard for me to say much else on it. The instrumental shift at the end just as posiedon arrives feels damn right.
Get in the water is amazing. I dont like how some limes are timed though, 'ruthlessness / is mercy upon / ourselves' is an obvious as a way to chop it, but i feel like the vocal riffs on it couldve been made a bit more interesting, it feels a bit disjointed, and that might be the point. I might be wrong here, im not much of a musician. Now why he timed the lines delivered by the dead like he did i do not know, i dont like it. It just doesnt fit the timescale of the instrumentation. I might be obviously incorrect to someone more musically aligned, but thats what i see. If i am correct, it might be so off to serve the narrative, monster and all. To show that these calls from the dead aren't here to help him, basically, they're here to haunt him, which would be my first interpretation if the lines were more coherent. If it was more coherent, i would read it the same way i read the baby tele flashback in god games. But that NOT being the message, the dead NOT giving him the resolve to go on, it just doesnt really work with the lyrics for the upcoming anime battle i feel. Im starting to ramble so ill move on.
Six hundred strike is very cool. Except for about a half second when he screams his attack name, that goody enough to take me out of the story, and that aint good, and the last lines post torture. Firstly, i love the fact that we come straight in with electric guitars, you can tell that cunning ody ain't fucking around. The battle itself is very epic, very grand, again, except for the 'six hundred strike'. Like. Horge. Mr. Jalapeño. What does that even fucking mean. I would get it if there was a line previously that was like "for every pain you caused" but like. Even then. It ought be plural. It just feels incredibly goofy and incongruous with the otherwise epic battle. Moving on. Torturing an immortal scene is always aweosme, and the execution is very good, ody's screams are very nice indeed. Vocals convey emotion quite well here, from both Jorge and Steven. The one thing i DO have a problem with is how they handled the last few lines. I understand what they are intended to do, and they do that, but they don't do the idea justice. It could have been made LESS like a piece of exposition, and i wish it was.
Generally i liked it??? I guess?????? Im not sure. Im not as dead hyped as i was after underworld or circe, but underowlrd is an act finale, and circe has me biased as it has some of my top songa from the musical so far. Vengance hits a little weak compared to wisdom, but that might be that i didnt have time to really proccess it. I felt similarly about underworld when it first released, to a lesser degree, but still. Maybe ill get around to it.
Also not a single beloved character died horribly.
Im disappointed, captain.
#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga#its a review i guess????#if i had a nickel#for every time i used the tag 'its a review i guess????'#id have two nickels#which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice

(NOT SO) LIVE OCEAN SAGA REACTION!!!
This is my favourite saga so be prepared for me to be insufferable.
Storm
Hmm, the trumpets....AAAGH, THOSE VOCALS OHFDRYHDIUFF.
"This storm's our final fight" 😬
STOOOooooooOOOOOOOooooooRM
The wind instruments for Aeolus's islan- wait...wind instruments...wind. Ugh
SKYYYYYYyyyyyyYYYYYYY
Luck Runs Out
I almost never listen to this one 😐
"How many floating islands have you seen?" USE YOUR BRAIN EURYLOCHOS, USE YOUR BRAIN.
Ugh, he called him "friend" when Odysseus had always used "brothers" to refer to the rest of the crew, and the only one who used "friend" was Polites. 😭
POLITES I MISS YOU 😭😭😭
Ok, this pisses me of so much. YOU CAN'T DISAGREE WITH YOUR CAPTAIN/KING IN FRONT OF THE REST OF THE CREW!!!!!!!!! Every song I hear makes me want to fist fight him more.
"I need to talk to you in private" 😊
"What the fuck were you thinking, Eurylochos" 😠
He said "thank you" the same way Polites said it at the end of "Open Arms" I'm AAAAAAAAAA
Keep Your Friends Closed
Oooh, whimsical!
Aeolus is so mischievous, so very :]
WINIONS!
SILLY WINIONS!!!
BAD WINIONS!
Eurylochos, I don't hear you agreeing with your captain, what's that all about? 👀
"Everything's changed since Polites" FUCKING STAB ME JORGE.
(Also it took me that lyric to realize Polites was dead 😬)
OH. OH. FUCKING GREAT. ITHACA WAS WITHIN SIGHT. WITHIN. SIGHT.
"Storm"! "Full Speed Ahead"! (Wait why were the Winions the ones that said full speed ahead?😅 Lmao)
The land of the giants! Laestrygonians mentioned!
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!! I DO!!!!!!
Ruthlessness
Oh. Oh boi. This song. This song is what got me into EPIC. Everyone say thank you blue eye filter 2021 snippet. I remember being SO PUMPED when I discovered it came out, I actually skipped the three sagas just to get to "Ruthlessness".
Damn those, Jaws shark attack staccato strings!!!!!! And the waves! The waveeeeeess!!!!!!!!
(Fun fact, this is the only song from EPIC I have memorized, backing vocals included)
"It isn't very often that I get pissed off" *loud incorrect buzzer*
So...many...animatic ideas...
Hey, is it just me or did I not hear a 'sorry' in that apology? 🤔
Oooh, we love dramatic irony!!!!
And callbacks!!!!

Clueless (Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader)
Everyone can tell that you like Eddie. Except for Eddie.
Warnings: language. Very fluff, a lil angst.
WC: 915
--
“You sheep ready for the most epic campaign of your lives?”
Eddie plops his tray on the table. A limp fry tumbles off, which he quickly shoves into his mouth. “Five second rule.”
Dustin looks at the table, wringing the back of his neck. “Well, uh, actually--”
“What is it, Henderson? You got a big date tonight or something?”
“Actually, yeah, I do,” Dustin perks up a bit. “Suzie is coming to visit me. I want to show her all of Hawkins.”
“Good, then that’ll only take 15 minutes,” Eddie retorts, but waves the boy on. “Fine, go on your little date. The rest of us--”
Lucas pipes up next. “So, this weekend is actually Max’s birthday, and our friend El--Mike’s girlfriend--is coming to visit with our friend Will...” he trails off, watching the Dungeon Master’s face get more cross.
“So, what? Are you guys cancelling on me?” The boys look at the floor. “Great. Just fucking great. The Three Musketeers have dates and leave poor Eddie Munson out in the cold.” The school lunch seems even more unappetizing to him than usual. He pushes the tray in disgust.
“Or, you know--and this is just a thought,” Dustin says carefully, holding his hands in the air, “you could also get a date?”
Eddie scoffs. “Yeah, the chicks here are lining up to go on a date with the Freak.”
“I know one girl who is,” Mike mutters under his breath.
“Wheeler, if you say O’Donnell, I’m kicking you out of the club.”
“Ew, no!”
“Then, who?” Eddie asks. He’s curious now.
Lucas is the first to speak up. “Okay, but you can never tell her that we told you.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Eddie says, “who is she?”
“Y/F/N Y/L/N.”
Eddie nearly chokes on his soda. “I’m sorry, is that a joke?”
Lucas shakes his head. “Nope. She’s in that writing club with Max, and I guess she’s in some creative writing class with you? I didn’t know you actually showed up to classes and did the work, but apparently she thinks your writing is poetic.” His voices goes high on the last word.
Eddie doesn’t even notice that he’s being mocked. “W-what else did she say about me?”
“She thinks you have great eyes and a cute smile and loves your hair.”
Dustin leans over and grabs some of Eddie’s curls. “Ooh, it is very soft!”
“Get off of me, Henderson!” Eddie pushes the boy away. “Yeah, I use that class to work on my lyrics." Song lyrics usually aren’t the assignment, but his teachers are just grateful he’s doing something productive in their classes.
“Do you write songs about Y/N?” Mike teases. He’s not expecting Eddie’s serious reply.
“So what if I do?”
Now it’s the boys’ turn to be shocked. “Dude, you have to ask her out!” Lucas says.
Dustin nods in agreement. “She’s smart and pretty. And she likes you.” He scans the cafeteria. “Look, she’s sitting with Nancy, over there! Go ask her!”
Eddie peers over in your direction. You catch him looking and smile. “Uh, nah, it looks like they’re studying or something. Don’t want to interrupt.”
“So, you don’t like her?” Lucas asks, confused.
“I do! I do like her, but...what if she says ‘no’? And then I look like a giant idiot?”
“Let’s put it this way: you can be a giant idiot who took a chance, or a giant idiot who talked himself out of a date with the nerdy bookworm girl of his dreams.” Dustin responds.
“Fine! Fine, I’ll go.”
“Wait!” Lucas says. “What are you going to ask her?”
Eddie slumps a bit. “Oh. I don’t know. Maybe...look over my lyrics with me?”
Dustin makes a buzzer noise. “Incorrect. Go ask if you can take her out for pizza and a movie. Tonight. Let her pick the movie.”
Eddie nods. “If she says no, I’m gonna tell your girlfriends that you wet the bed.”
He walks over to your table where you and Nancy have your history notes spread out in front of you. You look up at him and smile. “Hey, Eddie,” you say softly, trying to contain your excitement. Nancy can sense what’s going on and excuses herself to the bathroom. Eddie makes a mental note to thank her later.
“Hey, Y/N.” He puts his hands in his pockets to try and hide the clamminess. “Do you have any plans tonight?”
You shake your head. “I was just going to study more, probably. Gotta apply for those college scholarships.”
Scholarships. He was on his third round of senior year and he was trying to ask out a girl who could be getting scholarships. He stuffed the thought down. “Did you maybe wanna, I don’t know, grab some pizza? See a movie with me? You can pick it. Comedy, horror, action, even like a chick flick or whatever. Whatever you wanna see, I wanna see it with you.”
He’s kicking himself for sounding so eager, so pathetic, but you just laugh kindly. “Yeah, I’d really like that.” You tear out a piece of notebook paper and write your number down. They’re the most wonderful seven digits Eddie has ever seen. “Call me when you get home from school today, okay? We can see what’s playing?”
“Yeah, for sure,” he says, trying to play it cool. “I’ll, um, call you then.”
He turns around to go back to his table, where a small army of freshman boys are cheering him on.

Clueless
Everyone can tell that you like Eddie. Except for Eddie.
Warnings: language. Very fluff, a lil angst.
“You sheep ready for the most epic campaign of your lives?”
Eddie plops his tray on the table. A limp fry tumbles off, which he quickly shoves into his mouth. “Five second rule.”
Dustin looks at the table, wringing the back of his neck. “Well, uh, actually--”

Totally Underwhelming Eclipse of the Half-Hearted
Because I am not done talking about Dance of the Vampires.
If you want to see what I had to say about act 1 here are the links to my other posts
Now, the good news is that this second act is probably the better half of the musical. It's less consistently bad and a little closer to the European version, there are even a scant hand full of things that work.
But the bad stuff is really bad.
After Crawford sings the midnight serenade to Sarah we cut right to Total Eclipse of the Heart.
The problems in this number aren't anything we haven't seen before, I mean Crawford has been an unwelcome presence for most of act one, the choreography is shit, and the set, if you can call it that, is pretty pathetic, (fucking bleachers!) but I want to talk about a few things I haven't really gone into detail about yet.
The music. For the most part the music is generally the same, although it does sound like someone took Tanz and shrunk it. The orchestra and choir really lack the epic quality of the European version, but whatever, it's close enough. I'll give credit to Mandy Gonzales, she sounds great. In fact she sounds so good here that it just serves to highlight how awful Michael Crawford is.
youtube
Then you get to the lyrics.
The lyrics are a huge problem with this adaptation because in a lot of key songs, they weren't actually adapted. What we got in the final product isn't a translation of Michael Kunze's lyrics, rather it's a copy/paste of the existing lyrics (with some minor tweaks) from Jim Steinman's songs.
It's easy to say this was done out of laziness but given what I know and recently have learned of Jim Steinman I'd say it's very likely he didn't want his lyrics compromised. He has a reputation for being a massive ego and I'd be lying if I said I couldn't see the telltale Jim fingerprints all over the final product. I may expand on that later, but before I deviate too much from my initial point.
The lyrics.
Because they are cut and pasted from existing songs they no longer sound like the voices of the characters. They sound like the voice of Jim Steinman. In Total Eclipse Von Krolock sounds lovesick rather than predatory and Sarah sounds like a world weary old soul who's been burned before and is afraid to love again.... instead of... you know... and 18 year old girl who's never left her father's inn. This is even more egregious in Starker Als Wir Sind/Braver Than We Are because so much of the English version's lyrics are vague biblical metaphors that don't actually make much sense coming from a character like Sarah.
Example in Braver Than We Are Sarah sings "How can we fly like an angel in the sacred air?" At first that kind of sounds pretty, but in the context of the moment it doesn't really fit. It has almost nothing to do with what Sarah is doing or feeling and it's just empty imagery.
This is a fairly consistent shortcoming of Jim Steinman's songwriting. Style over substance plagues a lot of his songs. Even his best songs sometimes have weird lyrics that sound cool but don't actually mean anything.
Amazingly that doesn't hurt his music nearly as much as it should. All three Bat out of Hell albums are pretty strong, so much so that I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite between them.
In the context of a musical, however, it's a different story.
Let's take a look at the Tanz version to do a comparison.
youtube
The lyrics here illustrate a Sarah that is giving into temptation but feels shades of regret. Even as much as she wants what's being offered she knows there's no going back. Superficially it doesn't seem that different in theme from the English version but the lyrics do a better job of revealing Sarah's thought process.
Speaking of temptation let's touch on that for a sec, temptation and resisting it vs giving in is a huge theme of this musical. Draußen ist Freiheit and especially Das Gebet are all about temptation. How it pulls us, how the thing that finally breaks our resolve must be stronger than we are. Sarah is tempted by a voice that calls to her and offers her something dark, sensual, and forbidden. A fall from grace that will damn her forever but grant her her wildest dreams. Really the overarching theme of temptation needs its own post because there are so many layers, so I'll save it for after I've finished my breakdown of the full play.
We spend all of Draußen, Starker, and Das Gebet watching Sarah teeter on the edge and Finsternis is where she finally falls. There is a LOT of emotion here. The lyrics beautifully illustrate what she's feeling and how Von Krolock continues to suck her in by offering her her dreams.
In other words less this
and more this...
hell even this would have been preferable...
... you know I'm starting to see a pattern with young girls name Sarah and mystical older men in uncomfortably tight pants.
So why doesn't Tanz suffer from the same problem's with lyrics?
Probably because Steinman doesn't speak German and so had little say over how his songs got adapted into the German language.
The lyricist for Tanz is Michael Kunze, known for his work on Elisabeth and Rebecca and Kunze is honestly a wonderful lyricist. He does an excellent job giving each character a consistent voice while giving the lyrics depth and nuance. Which might not have saved the Broadway version, but it would definitely have helped.
Speaking of lacking depth and nuance....the next scene is the one where Von Krolock greets Alfred and Abronsius at the gate of his...
.... completely empty stage.
Hang on to your butts folks. It's gonna get real ugly.

‘The Real’ Lyric Analysis
Kingdom stage, for the final round in which contestant groups released original songs.
And if you thought that the brighter concept and focus on being their epic selves rather than on winning and remembering the past meant that this wasn’t part of the storyline... well, jokes on you I guess.
Of course it’s part of the storyline, it’s ATEEZ.
The song connects heavily (lyrically, concept-wise, etc), with ‘THANXX’, ‘Awakening of Summer’, and, to a lesser extent, ‘Fireworks’. It seemed to continue their journey from ‘Awakening of Summer’, as they have now overthrown the dystopian government, and music and dance reigns in the streets (As Halateez believe it should). However, it also seems earlier in the storyline than ‘INCEPTION’, as no major conflict between known groups has occurred yet. For that reason, on my playlist, it is between ‘Awakening of Summer’ and ‘INCEPTION’.
As with most of the Halateez songs, there doesn’t seem to be any significance to who sings which line, other than noticing that Mingi and Hongjoong have very villainous things to say (I don’t think this has much significance to the storyline, since Wooyoung or Yunho are much more likely to be the traitor and therefore ACTUALLY villainous, it’s probably just because they are rappers and this is a good time to shove the lyrical aesthetics into the songs). And, of course, the motifs show up most in their parts. Similarly, although there are some odd lyrics (Especially questionable grammar in the English ones), there don’t seem to be too many significant differences in translation for certain lines.
I analysed these lyrics on paper, so please ignore the weird lighting and how my handwriting has become worse, etc. Also, to note; I don’t have a red highlighter, so I have replaced it with pink here. I also spilt tea on it, sorry about that.
I also think that the coded lyrics I used were somewhat incorrect, so please forgive me if I have the wrong member written down for a particular line. It’s mostly correct.
Full lyric analysis below the line.
The Real
The line ‘this bastard, this bastard’ has also been translated as ‘this young man, go young man’, which has basically the same meaning. Also ‘This is the coolest thing’ has been translated as ‘this is what they call style’, which I think suits Halateez more since it fits their attitude of being confident in themselves and their ‘coolness’.
The line ‘Hmm right right that’s truly ugly’ has also been translated to ‘All right stop now, your style, aigoo, doesn't have anything to it.’ I really like both versions, and they both make sense + suit the Halateez attitude.
The line ‘protecting my faith’ can also be translated as ‘keeping my convictions’ and ‘serving anyone with carefulness’ has also been translated as ‘taking care of anyone’. I think that ‘keeping my convictions’ suits Halateez best, but with the second pair, I have no preference.
Here, the line ‘the truth is’ is also translated as ‘the real thing is’, which is just a nicer translation because it suits the song and the title more.
Hongjoong’s big section here is also translated as; ‘the more you bend, the less you blow, targets will increase over time’. Not sure what this is about. Perhaps just that Halateez’s targets to gain fans, recognition, etc, increases over time as they grow.
Conclusions
It’s pretty cool. It’s pretty Halateez. Honestly, there’s surprisingly little to say. If you want a summary, read the beginning of the post again?
