Fenrir Survives Ragnarök
about
General:
Fenrir's myth -- but with a better ending.
Production:
This is a battle song. We start in the darkness, but the drums drive our hunt forward. From big choirs and manic harmonies, except something big. Also, the rap bridge is just one of the most satisying sections I have ever made. For those wondering: the (lack of) incisive consonants were very much intentional -- not amateur production mistakes ;).
Lyrics:
I advise you to read more about Fenrir to get this one. Once you get Fenrir's myth, you will understand the deeper psychological layers woven into this song.
Codex Crystals:
This Artifact clearly belongs to the Tower's Rules, with E5's Fire leading the way. Obviously, biting off hands and pain cross into E8 territory. The larger arc is one of breaking free from patterns, hence the presence of the E11 Crystal.
lyrics
[Intro]
You underestimate me...
Don't eat me, I'm a baby!
[Verse 1]
I was born under the dark pine tree
Just a child, ending worlds unknowingly
I love my mom, and the River too
Everyone does stare, but I have no clue
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Tears seep with fears deep
Into my skin
Am I different?
I wanna learn
What do you want to win?
Why do I need to burn?
Tell me, tell me!
[Chorus 1]
You see my power, but I'm blind to wars
You pat me with your little hand to check
See if I'm harmless, but I don't bite back
I'm hurt, and lost my mind to the stars
[Post-Chorus 1]
My blood roars as I run away
(Splash, splash, splash)
Your staring eyes showing I'm not okay
(Slash, slash, slash)
My mouth doesn't know what to say
Of course...
Of course...
[Verse 2]
I grow older, but it's all the same
I think I'm wrong — am I to blame?
You whisper too loud as I go quiet
I see your bullshit — I'm gonna riot!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tears for a creep
With fears stinging so deep
Inside my skin
I am different
I start to learn
You ignore me
Now, I also want to win
I think I wanna see you burn!
Watch out, watch out!
[Chorus 2]
You see my power, but I'm blind to wars
You pat me with your little hand to check
See if I'm harmless, but I don't bite back
I'm hurt and lost my mind to the stars
[Post-Chorus 2]
Gonna change your little myth today
(Crash, crash, crash)
My eyes are telling you you're not okay
(Slash, slash, slash)
My mouth knows what to say
Of course...
Of course...
[Bridge]
Hey, you who treated me like a monster before
Listen up close
I'll give you myself for you to cry for
I remember everything
I'm not dumb, you know?
That mind you fear? Huh?
You better run, now go!
Track me, trick me, trap me in your lust
Paint me black with your distrust
Pout and push tongues down my throat
Block me, ban me —
Canine bite!
That was me setting myself free
You keep seeing me, endless sight
You look a bit sick, so white, oopsie!
Come on then!
Try 'n shut me up!
Now, my will will not break
I will not bend
You made me the monster that you fear
Oh darkling, your end times, they are here
You feed my frenzy; I bite off your hand
Carnage!
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Tears as you bleed
My teeth sinking so deep
Into your skin
Different eyes, from stars I learn
From me, you're never gonna win
How does it feel? Like to burn?
Tell me, tell me!
[Chorus 3]
I see my power, and my mind ends wars
Your little hand fell off — no need to check
You see I'm harmless, but I do bite back
You're hurt, you bleed, and...
While I find the stars
[Post-Chorus 3]
Your blood soars on the ground, my prey
(Splash, splash, splash)
I can't promise that it's gonna be okay
(Slash, slash, slash)
Mouth full of blood, still want to play?
Of course!
Of course!
[Outro]
Do not underestimate me
I will eat you whole, baby
