Awww, I don't think that's shade though. I assume he meant that he didn't want somebody to fade away and feel like they couldn't post in the thread for whatever reason. Truthfully, I get it. PH was by that point becoming a little cliquey.

I'm vaguely remembering you now though. I think we were partners in that challenge were you had to write opposite songs

Edit: aw, check our wall to wall, I liked you. I am the sweetest pher for sure

Like me as in past tense?

Kinda here for a Weird Al themed challenge where we have to write a parody of a hit song.

Yes, make it the first challenge as it allows people to familiarise themselves with structures and melodies of songs

Btw, White Houses by Vanessa Carlton is the best song that has ever been written.

Try to prove me wrong FATTIES.

An Art Angels-related hint? Wow, hope this season flops and has to go on hiatus.

GENESIS

Verse One
Naked and afraid I awoke
Discovering I was alone
Frightened by my being here
I felt my lungs breathe in new air

As I surveyed my surroundings
There was nothing else quite like me
I cowered as I touched my own skin
Perturbed by this foreign body

Was this all an indiscretion?
A twisted game where I'm the victim?
I asked the wind for any answers
It left me cold without direction

While crumbling in disarray
My spirit withered and decayed
I gave into the night and slept
My dreams revealed secrets time kept

Chorus One
A shooting star fell from the heavens
To explain what I was given
In a form so nebulous
She spoke to me with elegance
Have no fear, son, I'm your mother
The matter of which you come from
The very dust that birthed the cosmos
I'll guide you through all the chaos

I come to free you of confusion
To reveal your destined future
But you must not tell a soul
Or try to change the way things go
This is your fragile genesis
This is where your life begins
You are the very first human
Adam, man is your descendant

Verse Two
Confused by this information
Curious for the revelations
I listened to the words she said
Of what would become of us men

Her eyes burned bright with red fury
As she mentioned war and misery
Greedy hunger, murder, violence
and man's determined opulence

Yet her gaze softened gradually
With her voice low she said to me
You are gifted with sentiment
My imperfect experiment

You'll be able to feel it all
The purity of children's hearts
The solace of a lover's touch
The fortress of a mother's love

Chorus Two
The shooting star that fell from heaven
To explain what I was given
Had formed conflict within my soul
Far too grand for me to ignore
I started to fear I'd become
The very source of destruction
I looked above into the cosmos
As my mind processed the chaos

She had increased my delusions
When she told my distant future
Yet she had left my heart intrigued
After she spoke of love and peace
Knowing all the wonders we could bring
I developed a deep longing
To see what came out of the hands
Of my future my descendants

Bridge
Naked and afraid I awoke
But this time I was not alone
There was someone else just like me
She told me that her name was Eve
Should I tell her of my visions?
Will she even believe in them?
No, I should take them to the grave
No matter what, nothing will change

I want to know how music sounds
To lift my body from the ground
As we achieve the art of flight
I want to feel complex inside
Yet with all these innovations
Come dangerous burdens for us
But there will be activism
To counter the quietism

We are a riveting creature
I won't let evil influence me
And so I take Eve by the hand
To explore this strange new land

Chorus 3
The shooting star that fell from heaven
To explain what I was given
Proved to be a prophetic dream
Only I know man's destiny
A celestial intervention
My sole source of comprehension
Looking up, I pray to the cosmos
To forgive impending chaos

Hoping the bad we bring about
Will be worth the good that we sprout
Therefore I won't tell a soul
Or try to change the way things go
I may be a little naive
But I've seen what we can achieve
I hope the earth understands
The presence of my descendants

A little underrated top 5 throwback for y'all to remember what good storytelling looks like.

Ugh I can't write anything right now lemme go find a ghostwriter

Platinum Hint #5

What do you (the contestants), a monkey, an elephant and a rhinoceros all have in common?

[CountryBritney]

Burn Away

Just a young heart, with a massive dream
What a God damn shame, it was never what it seemed.
So excited that you never ever saw that
You signed your life away when you signed that contract.

Now you stand there looking pretty
Like you're a piece of property
Paste that fake smile on your face, girl
As they make you sing and twirl.

FAME
Ain't nothing but a crucifixion
Won't be nothing but a work of fiction
When you're a household name
FAME
They'll watch you burn away
But won't let you turn away
It's a ruthless game

You'll burn away
Can't turn away
Just burn away.
Just burn away.

In the court room, another law suit
For something you clearly didn't do.
The label, will twist your stories
To boost your contemporaries
Cause they're the 'hot new thing'.

Stand there looking pretty
Like you're a piece of property
Paste that fake smile on your face, girl
As they make you sing and twirl.

FAME
Ain't nothing but a crucifixion
Won't be nothing but a work of fiction
When you're a household name
FAME
They'll watch you burn away
But won't let you turn away
It's a ruthless game

You'll burn away
Can't turn away
Just burn away.
Just burn away.

So you sold your soul for fame?
Look around what did you gain?
Only see the person they created for you
When you're looking in the mirror
Searching for the real you.
What's the real you?
You don't even know anymore.

FAME
Ain't nothing but a crucifixion
Won't be nothing but a work of fiction
When you're a household name
FAME
They'll watch you burn away
But won't let you turn away
It's a ruthless game

You'll burn away
Can't turn away
Just burn away.
Just burn away
