drew this to motivate myself to do my homework and also to procrastinate doing my homework. thank you ms paint. thank you computer track pad.

i dont mean hes anti-hero coded because of the lyrics "its me hi, im the problem its me" no not really because thats only a small peak in the song when i say ink sans is so anti-hero coded i mean, he is anti-hero coded. the whole song.

"One day I'll watch as you're leaving

'Cause you got tired of my scheming

(For the last time)"

those lyrics speak to me and say abandonment issues, okay so what im getting from this is, watching someone leave, someone who got tired of you, got bored of you and your atitude. (isnt one of inks fears of being forgotten??? someone becoming bored, leaving getting tired of you is uncomfortably close to being forgotten, they both equal as being discareded, like a broken toy.)

"I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror"

maybe this is just me projecting i dont know but to me this verse means so much, its such a simple sentence but to me its so important. to me it comes off as not wanting to face yourself, staring at the 'sun' is much more apealing, maybe staring directly at the sun as in you would rather be blind to what you truly are, or maybe only focusing on lighter parts, either way not seeing the full picture. not wanting to face yourself. this relates to ink, because in a way he kind of chose his path??? not really but in an odd way he is his own creation, like he had torn his soul apart, gifted a brand new start, after his scape he had been gifted with his paints. his paints had no manuals, he had no guidance, nothing. ink had chose his clothes, he chose to aid creators in their creations, no one told him to, he had no boxes to fit into, no full set of morals.

"Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby

And I'm a monster on the hill

Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city

Pierced through the heart, but never killed"

ok, ink is different from everyone, in the way of his disconnection of feelings, his soullesness and his 'job' all of those things make him stand out like a sore thumb, (not to forget his giant paintbrush dubbed broomie. ) but those lyrics just stick out to me as something so ink, hes just such and odd lad, i cant elaborate more than that.

"Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism

Like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time)"

first off Dream IS LITERALLY AN ARCHER LIKE HIS BOW AND ARROWS OK. the song name is not the only reason this song fits him its the lyrics the whole vibe of it really,

''I never grew up, it's getting so old" Dream did not have time to grow up, that man was encased in stone for 500 years starting when he was 6, that just unloads a whole shitload of problems--- like?? his childhood was robbed from him.

"Who could ever leave me, darling?

But who could stay?" these lyrics kinda seem like the apple incident in a way?? like nightmare, the nightmare that was his brother, the true nightmare. that nightmare left him, so i feel like dream would defo have some serious abandonment issues and those lyrics just scream abandonment issues to me, those lyrics are like, hoping people will stay and clinging onto that hope, no matter how much it ends up hurting when they inevitably leave.

"'Cause they see right through me

They see right through me

They see right through

Can you see right through me?

They see right through

They see right through me

I see right through me

I see right through me" I dont know, this is just so dream??? like i cant really explain it except its like,

Can you see right through me?

They see right through

They see right through me

I see right through me

okay, so like my personal thoughts on taylors words are kinda like being aware of your own feelings, weaknesses and knowing everyone is able to see right through your defensives no matter how hard you try, and to me that just seems like such a dream thing??

also the whole song is kinda fast paced in a way?? it has a sense of ergency like a need to be recoginized now and now. a need to be recognized that is just so strong its gnawing at you. and i feel like the fast paced and ergency is dream coded because, he was always seen as positvity(to the villigars) , nothing more nothing less i feel like the ergency to be seen as anything different--- like the song is almost pleading in a way?? pleading to be seen and it slowly turns to hysterics the more the song progresses and i think that kind of captures dreams character nicely, in a way that dream presents as put together, when really dream is just a child whos childhood was taken away too early and the heaviness of responsibilty was dropped onto him before he could even breathe. (metaphorically, skeletons dont really breath(??? i think they dont??))
