Stray

(Clairine T.)

Everyone has experienced that feeling of being lost: not knowing where to go afterwards, simply waiting for a past that'll never return to become their future. The feeling leaves a lonely void that at the time, or even well afterwards, makes it seem that there really is nowhere else to go. It's a period of darkness that compels us to sit idly, watching the world go by as we're plagued by thoughts of "I wish I could go back..." and "what could have been...?" But there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and this song encapsulates that journey from the one happy experience that just leaves you feeling lost afterwards to the new light of hope that greets you once you finally traversed that dark tunnel.

Cyan sky, sky-tinged clouds
The Sun is beaming down, a pale golden halo
But to me everything is simply blue and white
And I could only see
The thousand stars beneath it's light

Just like in yesterday's dark blue night
A new sky, a new shade of blue
I've never laid my eyes on before
Our first meeting had been cold
But still warmth seeped through my bones

It became my Neverland
I'll never grow old as long as it's there
Spread like a map of a thousand silver stars
And I'm facing the only blank space
Waiting for me to take its place

An irreplaceable constellation
To make it whole again
But then the cold night turned away
The warm Sun rose again
And just like that

My path to the stars disappeared
It had been Wonderland all along
And I had just woken up from its dream

"By morning you'll feel better
Sleep will erase your worries for the day"
So they say
But in this afternoon glow
Nothing has changed for me

I'm still a stray soul, spirited away
A lonely comet losing its tail
Straying from its fated path
Breaking like glass into fragile pieces
That'll soon vanish into the night
Lost by dawn, gone like a dream
Daybreak has come too fast

This scenery and the next are blurred together
Colors no longer hold any meaning
I spend my mornings and evenings
Sitting around, waiting
For the second star to the right to let me in again

But the compass had shifted
North is not where it had been
The map is still in front of me
But the blank space had been laid out
For someone else, far far away

Today is spent hoping tomorrow will come again
Holding on to that chance
That I'm still that kid staring at the stars
That the door will be opened again
For me, the me that's older by a few days

That the moment is not over
I'm still the last piece their puzzle needs
But it seems there's still a million light years to go

Till then 
Will I still be a stray soul, spirited away?
A lonely comet losing its tail
Straying from its fated path
Breaking like glass into fragile pieces
That'll soon vanish into the night
Lost by dawn, gone like a dream
Daybreak has come too fast

Why then does slowly, once more
New constellations smile down at me
Every passing night, every passing day
If I'm supposed to lose myself forever?
Why then does the shadows retreated from me
Slowly, but surely like the last frost?

If today is spent hoping tomorrow
Will be better
When will that feeling come again?
A million light years' too long for me to wait
I'll just paint my own path
Weave golden streaks to be my tail 

So by tomorrow I'll be on my way
A different direction, so they say
But at least I've got somewhere to go
A new shade out of space
A fellow stray comet with a different dream
But we're heading towards the same North
Different maps with the same constellations
To our own special Neverland

Parade

By Clairine T.

Feminism doesn't mean forsaking men in favor of women's needs; feminism doesn't mean forsaking stay-at-home mothers in favor of celebrating working women and working women only; and most of all, feminism isn't only for women to support. It is a movement that promotes equality, and therefore allows support from all genders as long as they are willing to and believe in its cause. This song can be seen as an invitation for such support, and hopefully is able to convey the principles of feminism: that all "types" of women are to be supported. Different jobs, different sizes, and different personalities-- conventional or unconventional, feminism supports all women without forcing them to follow a predetermined framework in order to make them eligible for equality.

Avant-garde

By Clairine T.

As we grow up, we've been told to never give up on our dreams and goals by the same people who laugh at us when we don't do well right away as well as those who wants us to stick to the conventional code rather than maintain each of our individual eccentricities. These lyrics are to remind ourselves of that advice, that either way we must keep doing our best to reach our dreams, and that becoming a paragon of perfection just for the sake of cheap compliments and sticking to the status quo is something that everybody could do. Rather, becoming our own person and pursuing our own individual goals are something only we ourselves can accomplish, and so we have no reason to listen to such societal expectations that condemn us to failure before we even had the chance to improve. However, it is important to understand that those people who'd laughed at our mistakes and believed that we would fail are people with dreams as well, and that they must've faced similar problems from others as they strive to become who they wanted to be. In fact, they might've given up halfway through because they believed that trying won't ever be enough, and it might as well have been us, society as a whole, that made them give up. It's a cycle of fear, hate, and pessimism, and empathy and determination are key to breaking it. We must do our best to prove them wrong-- not to turn things around so that we become the bullies and them the victims, but to instill a new hope that they still have a second chance to do what they thought was impossible.

White Noise

By Clairine T.

"Falling out of love" is a topic that is often overlooked in favor of other themes, mainly "being in love" or the period of recovery after falling out of love. The reasons why people stop loving one another are limitless; perhaps one of them have changed irreversibly to the point that they can no longer connect, they have fallen in love with someone else, or simply because they bring out the worst in one another. The lyrics here highlight the small cracks in a former couple's relationship, and how the ever increasing numbers of such mistakes had steadily outgrown the feelings they had for one another. The lyrics also bring to light the possibility of falling out of love despite finally being able to understand the other person's feelings and why they behaved the way they did. The couple may have at last truly understood one another, but it's clear that falling out of love doesn't wait for second chances.

Kid

By Clairine T.

Sometimes adults need a break from their responsibilities and the societal expectations that force them to always strive to be the best of the best in order to be recognized for their hard work. Sometimes they want to remember the good old days, the carefree childhoods that they spent in their hometowns where everything seemed so much simpler than it is now. These lyrics are filled with memories, both sad and happy, of that simpler period in someone's life, and what they expect to see when they return to their childhood home. Though their outlook on reality at the moment is comparatively bleak, the lyrics are optimistic, filled with hopeful, positive expressions that express their desire to return to their hometown for just one day, and their hope that once they are pulled back once more to reality, they'll be happier than how they had been in the beginning.
