So I've gone and written a pop-punk song in tribute to one of Tumblr’s most iconic memes - Here it is:
--------
🎶 Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
It was a summer like no other
Because I had you by my side
You took away all of my troubles
And in my heart is still where you reside
Now everything I see reminds me
Of when we thought had it all
So won't you come out here and find me
And we can remember what it's like to fall
Lying on our backs
We watched the clouds go rolling past
And I knew right then and there
That I wanted this to last
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
Well I went back up to that hilltop
The very same place that we lay
If you were here would we still talk?
About how we'd make it out of this town someday
Lying on our backs
We watched the clouds go rolling past
And I knew right then and there
That I wanted this to last
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
Do you love the way it makes my eyes reflect
All above, and I knew that it was too perfect
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
And as we stood and watched the orange of the rising sun
I turned to her and asked…
…Do you want this to last?
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
Do you love the way it makes my eyes reflect
All above, and I knew that it was too perfect
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
And as we stood and watched the orange of the rising sun
I turned to her and asked…
...Which one? 🎶

BTW if anyone with more musical talent than me wants to take these lyrics and actually make a full song out of it, you have my blessing, go ahead! In my head it has that sort of neon-pop-punk, Metro Station, The Summer Set, kinda sound, but honestly do what you want with it — all I'll ask is that you do credit me as a lyricist and that you send the song to me, 'cause I wanna hear it 🖤🤘
They say there’s a funny point in the fall, where it doesn’t feel like you’re falling at all. It’s just you and me, and this zero gravity. It doesn’t feel like we’re falling at all.
So let us make each bad decision. Let us test the reach of redemption. Let us pretend we aren’t falling at all.
more song lyrics i've made & assigning them to my moots
There are countless cigarette-scented hotel rooms / That you have yet to fuck him in: @o-kye i remember you said you liked this one
I’ve been putting lipstick on a pig / & the mirror cracks at the sight: @ax-y10 idk why when i wrote this i thought you would like it a lot
Something in your eyes says “You’re not done yet” / Something in the river screams “You haven’t won yet”: @lil-stormcloud: it wasn't a fave of mine but i thought you would think it's nice :)
Dad, can you come home already? / It’s a bit too noisy: @vibestillax this made me think of you <3
Could somebody teach me / How to be Daddy’s perfect princess again?: @hyper-raccoon23 i swear to god this isn't DDLG its just daddy issues
I want to have sugarplum dreams / Give me Alice’s milk pill so I can sleep: @radio-to-trenchcoat-demons drugs 👍
If all the freckles on your face were the stars in the sky / I would kiss the constellations: @zuuriell i thought of you & your bf
Mom, can you braid my hair? / Call me your sweet baby girl again / & we can forget about the car fight / Blind me with the streetlights: @unbeleevable hi
Tiptoe through the house, get me a band-aid / The blood is pink, but the glitter is thicker / I thought I was getting better: @danvstheworld omg so coquette
Make me feel like an Arctic Monkeys song / So young, but it’s still so fun: @strangleetomz i feel like you're an arctic monkeys fan
I am your drug addict / & your kudos are my cocaine / & your despondence is my withdrawal / & your effervescence is my ecstasy
It looks like I’ve taken after my four-score father / Can you taste the vodka on my tongue? / Can you taste the ecstasy on my eclipse? / Does the enamorada still drip from my eyes? / & does the Bacardi still go through my bloodstream?
Everybody thinks I’m nine / But I’ve begun to behave like I’m 25
I can see you in the TV static / Can you hear me in the microphone feedback?
My innocence bleeds out on the bathroom floor / & I’m not sure if I am me anymore
You’ve got a bottle in your hands / & my cheeks are laced with backhands / & your words are nonsensical / & your actions are non-consensual / & you’re stabbing into my ventricle / You were always rather eccentrical
My days are filled with apathy / No motivation, just monotony
Apathy, despondence, I'm drowning in the static / Need something nonsensical to make it all dramatic
My thoughts are tangled, nonsensical / No rhyme or reason, just plain illogical
riding the waves of resentment
I see something I end it
I have slain every myth and legend
THEIR BLOOD COATS THE FLOOR
more fuel to sustain me
the forces of hell are entertained to see
them all meet their brutal end...
I NEED MORE.
Was suddenly overcome by nostalgia and in a frenzy wrote my own english lyrics for Sakura Kiss (Ouran HSHC) just now while in the shower MFNSMND it was fun and I'm actually p proud of these... Sharing in case anyone wants to do a cover w these lyrics!!🥹 (pls credit and show me if u do🥺)
I also did a v quick recording (v out of breath😵💫) to show how the lyrics match up w the song 🫣 LMAO (i dropped my phone in the beginning KFJSJ)
EDIT: I did a new cover here! A bit less out of breath this time🤧
(raw text under cut)
Sakura Kiss
(milkbreadtoast ver)
KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE (HEY HEY HEY)
I've realized that all this time... you've always been right here with me
But is it hate, or like, or am I going crazy?
If i could look inside my heart
and see my feelings clear as day,
lady or host, it doesn't(/wouldn't) matter either way.
When love comes into our lives,
we dont always know why
but when i look in your eyes...
MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE
I want(/need) to see you now
so I can give you a cherry blossom kiss, and if your heartbeat skips then it's love you know!
I think what the pop-punk scene is missing is a true Bisexual Loser Anthem
With that in mind, here is my own original song, Best Of Both Worlds, which is just that:
Best Of Both Worlds (Bisexual Loser Anthem)
They say ‘If you like boys like you like girls
Then you’re living the best of both worlds’
But they don’t see the reality
I’m a strikeout either way
Nothing’s gonna change that part
There’s just twice as many people out there
Who could break my heart
I never had the best of luck
When it came to matters of love
Always found some way to screw it up
Didn’t matter who, didn’t matter what
And now I’m on my knees
Begging darling please
Won’t you give me another chance?
Or at least just a first glance?
‘Cause I’m a beggar
Not a chooser
I’m not a lover
I’m a loser
They say ‘If you like boys like you like girls
Then you’re living the best of both worlds’
But they don’t see the reality
I’m a strikeout either way
Nothing’s gonna change that part
There’s just twice as many people out there
Who could break my heart
I’ve fallen for both girls and guys
And fallen on my face whenever I’ve tried
To let ‘em know just how I felt
Guess I fumbled every card I was ever dealt
I’m just not meant to be
A romantic lead
Disaster movie better suits me
Ash, I ain’t feeling too groovy
I’m a beggar
Not a chooser
I’m not a lover
I’m a loser
They say ‘If you like boys like you like girls
Then you’re living the best of both worlds’
But they don’t see the reality
I’m a strikeout either way
Nothing’s gonna change that part
There’s just twice as many people out there
Who could break my heart
Who could break!
And I’m not straight but I’m not gay
Still I’m a strikeout either way
So hey
They say
‘If you like girls like you like boys
Then you’re gonna be spoilt for choice’
But they don’t know the real way it goes
I’m a strikeout either way
I’m a strikeout either way!
They say ‘If you like boys like you like girls
Then you’re living the best of both worlds’
But they don’t see the reality
I’m a strikeout either way
Nothing’s gonna change that part
There’s just twice as many people out there
Who could break my heart
Lyrics by Tom H. Jordan - I do have a tune in mind for this, generally very upbeat, lots of fast-paced guitars and a breakdown in the bridge - and hey, maybe if I'm feeling bold one day I'll record it, but until then have fun imagining it in whatever style you like!
