Lyrics
I’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm.

And the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold,

My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones,

It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.

I move through town, I’m quiet like a fight,

And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.



And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home

People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes.

I’m done with it (ooh)



[Chorus:]

This is the start of how it all ends

They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

I’m speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

We're at the start, the colours disappear

I never watch the stars, there’s so much down here

So I just try to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart



I dream all year, but they’re not the sweet kinds

And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time



And now people talk to me, I’m slipping out of reach now

People talk to me, and all their faces blur

But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison

And I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

I’m done with it (ooh)



[Chorus]



And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat

This is so amazing! I can only imagine how difficult vidding this source must have been, and you've done such a beautiful job of it. The song choice is inspired, and you've managed to do so much with the gameplay footage, and with intercutting the stills, and making the camera pan over stills. It's all such great work! And I'm sitting here now overwhelmed with feels about Red and her unnamed man, and about Red's awesome and about the richness of the game. You've really hit home with this one, Festividder. Thank you so very, very much! <333

Oh wow, I know zero about this source, but this has such an interesting use of unique visuals that I found really compelling and gorgeous to watch!

[anoel]

This is so pretty and I love the song choice! I love how you timed all the cool light explosions (not sure what to call them) to the music.

[sanguinity]

This was gorgeous. I'm another who knows nothing about the source, but this was beautiful and entrancing and compelling.

[starlady]

Ugh, this is great. Now I really want to play the game. Brilliant editing and music choice.

[actiaslunaris]

Gorgeous movement and progression, yet it lingers lovingly on the visuals. The music is a perfect complement to them, almost as if it would meld well into the world of the game.

I know nothing about this game but always appreciate unique sources in vids. Love the way you mixed gameplay with (moving) stills - sort of a motion comic. It made this character seem awesome!

[kuwdora]

despite not knowing the game, that doesn't keep me from being in awe of how well-edited this vid is. your cross dissolves are sublime and you have a fantastic way of blending the gameplay, animations and art so that it is very organic with the music. bravo, festividder, bravo, this is beautiful and amazing!

[seekingferret]

This vid is utterly beautiful.

[rhoboat]

Oh, this is gorgeous and so wonderfully *smooth*. I really like this.

[revolutionaryjo]

Beautifully made vid! It's reminding me that I really need to pick up this gorgeous game.

[credoimprobus]

This is so, so stunning. Perfect marriage of music and visuals. (I really need to look up this game, don't I?)

[deirdre_c]

Amazing! This is an incredible work, I am blown away!! Without knowing anything about the course, I could NOT take my eyes off of it, and your beautiful editing.

[franzeska]

I love your cuts between the different running footage.

[felis]

Oh, wow, this is really unique and beautiful.
