Letra:

I'm not that strong, but I'll fight
I belong at her side
When the darkness starts to stir
She's so much more
While I live, I am sure
I would give my very life for her

'Cause
She's the axis of my world
She's the banner I unfurl
I shall raise it for the eyes of the world to see
You could take all that I own
I don't need it now I've known
A love like the sea

'Cause
She's the axis of my world
She's the springtime of my soul
Flowers bloom beneath the skies through the centuries
You could take all that I own
I don't need it now I've known
Her love for me

Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

I wrote this song for an animation I made for an undergrad stop motion class in 2015, but ultimately (as always) swapped it for a fully instrumental version.

The animation is of a noblewoman and a knight who are in love, surprise surprise. The noble is snatched away by a flying beast and her partner gives chase on a horse, before a fun magic battle happens.

Let’s be real, the “plot” of this one-and-a-half-minute animation actually doesn’t make any sense, but it was always meant to be music-led—visuals echoing the feel of the music.

The lyrics themselves are actually some of my favourites that I’ve written—lines such as “she’s the springtime of my soul” are hopefully as resonant for others as they feel to me personally.

I will be honest: it began as a Steven Universe fan song, but then grew into its own thing as I worked on it.
