TONiGHT

I created and sang this song last year after writing a poem originaly called 'Dawn'. Infact originaly i had intended for it to be a sad song about Astrima talking to little Claris telling her the future would be okay if she was strong (despite being imaginary). Then for some reason i thought it would be cool to have a bunch of Gens in it and some really weird kinda vocal stuff like me on the telephone to Blu and kinda droning about drinking coffee, lol XD

Image wise after changing the tone and intentions of the song the kind of stuff i was imagining was basicaly the monotony of reality and daily life. Going to school, working a job you hate, being treated like crap, feeling small, drinking coffee from staffroom vending machines and forgetting how to dream and the reason that you took a shit job in the first place. To be somebody. Yes i was quite depressed when i wrote this (i was working a crappy job and had a breakdown). So this song means a lot on both sides of things.
It questions imagination and dreams, it questions NiGHTS, it questions what we value to be real and how much is it worth.

I almost wanted this song to feel like having an exciting dream about gens and NiGHTS and all that wonderful stuff, then waking up and nobody caring about anything you have to say. Like speaking to a wall.

"Who are you?" well "Who am i?" is the first thing NiGHTS says in wtahm so i thought it would be neat if it was a question about who YOU are rather than him in the dreamrealm.

The poem was written to be a sort of little journey. Conforming them breaking free, and having to live with reality anyway.

"We ate it up, we let it in" im talking about reality.

And the end part is about if we said 'to hell with rules' and followed our hearts.

One of these days i may do a sad version of it. This one is rather upbeat and bizzare, lol.
