That's quite the group that you have gathered now Most of them, they just want you somehow. They would pay any price to kiss your skin. Don't tell me that is loving, You know that don't mean nothing. You know,You must know. And yet you give it all to make you feel desired Give it all to make you feel admired For love to replace your shame, For love to replace your shame! For us to praise your name... Now, my friend, I won't forget The darkness blinding me before we met It's all I need to remember you As the light you were Even though, for sure, You won't remember me... No, you won't remember me, I'm afraid that no amount of fame Will ever wash away the shame Of knowing not how to love your only friend Who will love you till the end.

Tamino, The first disciple

Day 7: Idol (also fits 1: past)

Let's pretend this is not couple hours late for the megop week, can we?

Changing the sense of some paragraphs (namely, the fourth), and some words like "fame" for "power", "desired" for, perhaps, "respected", etc, this song perfectly matches how a young Optimus, just recently bestowed with the Matrix, would think about Megatron. About his (apparent) change; how he would try, in his naive manner, his belief and desire to always find a hint of fairness and hope in even the most iniquitous, to justify or at least understand Megatron's means and ways. How he would grief and bid farewell in a secret and silent way to that who, firstly, shook him out of the inertia he lived in, and for whom he always would hold a deep meaning, regardless of its name.

Idol because Orion used to admire him profoundly when he learned about him, listened to his words and got the opportunity to talk to him. The fascination was very tangible.
