Lyrics
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,

Stop that now, cos you and I were never meant to be

I think you better leave; it's not safe in here,

I feel a weakness coming on.



Alright then (Alright then) I could keep your number for a rainy day,

That's where this ends, no mistakes no misbehaving,

Oh, I was doing so well, can we just be friends,

I feel a weakness coming on.



It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,

I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,

No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,

I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.



Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,

Stop that now; you're as close as it gets without touching me,

Oh no, don't make it harder than it already is,

Mmm, I feel a weakness coming on.



Big trouble losing control,

Primary resistance at a critical low,

On the double gotta get a hold,

Point of no return one second to go,



No response on any level, red alert this vessels under siege,

Total overload, systems down, they've got control,

There's no way out, we are surrounded,

Give in, give in and relish every minute of it



It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,

I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,

No it's not meant to be like this, it's just what I don't need,

Why make me feel like this, it's definitely all your fault.



Feel like this la la la la la la la la

It's all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la

It's all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la

It's all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la

It's all your fault

Wow, what a great examination of Natsume's conflicted relationship with the youkai world and Reiko's legacy. He fears it, it isolates him, puts him in danger -- but the youkai are always reaching out to him for help and friendship as well. And there is love and beauty there as well. Thank you so much for such a beautiful, thoughtful vid. And I love the song choice!

[cupidsbow]

I love the visual poetry of this.

[cienna]

This is a really beautiful vid. So lovely and ethereal. I loved the song choice as well.

[actiaslunaris]

I love the way you've edited the song to create the narrative you needed. It's an unusual song to pair with this, but you made it work, especially in how it explores the dark sides, then leads to acceptance and engagement in that world, so that he creates change and then thereby finds his peace. That wouldn't have been as effective without your edits. It's a stunning vid!

[purplefringe]

Oh this is mesmerising and beautiful.

[revolutionaryjo]

You've captured the source so well! I'm full of warm fuzzy and slightly melancholy Natsume feelings.

[franzeska]

Pretty! I loved the feeling the music and the vid gave me.
