Lyrics
"Fear And Loathing"



I've lived a lot of different lives

Been different people many times

I live my life in bitterness

And fill my heart with emptiness



And now I see, I see it for the first time,

There is no crime in being kind

Not everyone is out to screw you over.

Maybe, oh just maybe they just wanna get to know ya.



Now the time is here,

Baby you don't have to live your life in fear

And the sky is clear, is clear of fear



Don't wanna live in fear and loathing

I wanna feel like I am floating

Instead of constantly exploding

In fear and loathing



Got different people inside my head

I wonder which one that they like best

I'm done with tryin' to have it all

And endin' up with not much at all.



And now the time is here,

Baby you don't have to live your life in fear

And the sky is clear, is clear of fear

Of fear



Don't wanna live in fear and loathing

I wanna feel like I am floating

Instead of constantly exploding

In fear and loathing.

Oh my god. I literally almost started to cry when I watched this. The song is so perfect (I love Marina and the Diamonds!) and it fits Natsume's emotional journey so completely. I felt like I was reliving it with him while watching the vid. The editing is so lovely, I especially enjoyed the opening sequence. This is amazing. Thank you so much.

I had actually never heard the song, but a friend suggested it for the vid theme and I absolutely loved it! Now I'm going to have to go and acquire all of her albums! Anyway, thank you so much for the lovely prompt and I'm so glad the vid worked for you!

That's so dreamy.

[cienna]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is really beautiful!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

Beautiful. I really get a sense of the world and the character and I could have watched more of this vid in particular, the way it just flows from beginning to end, but with the hint that there's more to come for him, and that it will be okay.

Wow! There's a wonderful dreamy quality in the pacing that really matches the vocals just beautifully. Even though I'm not familiar with the source, this was mesmerizing!

[purplefringe]

Oh goodness this is lovely to watch. The little beats in the visuals (blinks, closing doors, tiny motions) are all matched so well to the music, it feels like a dance.

[ghost_lingering]

Awwww, this is beautiful and makes me smile!

[revolutionaryjo]

Aww, I have lots of Takashi feelings as a result of this. Lovely vid.

[franzeska]

Wow, I almost started to cry too, and I know almost nothing about the source.
