Lyrics:
Things fall apart so easily
They break away at the seams
And it seems
This is the life I was fated to lead
Dreams dead in the water
And you ought to let them pass
I wanted something better than this
Than a postmortem kiss
Three years to miss you
But it seems that's all I'm gonna get
It's best to forget
Last night I dreamt of you
You were beautiful, amidst a sky of blue
It was only the two of us
Hearts beating synchronously
Do you feel for me?
I heard a song the other day
It reminded me of the way
I love you
And how I never got to say that to you
So many things I wanted to do
So many dreams
Left for dead in the water
Drowned and gone, just smile and let them go
I wanted so much more
Than a game we were born to lose
I wanted so much more
So much more for you
Artist commentary:
horizon: (composer, booklet commentary)
Flare has always struck a place in my heart, for many reasons. Plazmataz has always, always impressed me, but Flare just evoked something simply raw in the depths of my mind; I knew then that I had to use that feeling as a kind of empathy towards the Beta kids. Though it was used in a specific moment in canon, I chose to write lyrics from the point of view I could most appreciate -- the pain associated with love when life hands you something you don't know how to survive.
fueledbyanimation: (track artist, booklet commentary)
I have been listening to Horizon's renditions of Homestuck music with her lyrics for a while now, and Flare has always been my favorite one she did. I hoped I could make a picture that represents the feeling of closeness beween the four kids in getting through the game that I feel in the words she wrote.
