She's the albatross, she is here to destroy you
Wise men once said
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
A rose by any other name is a scandal
Cautions issued, he stood
Shooting the messengers
They tried to warn him about her
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Wise men once said
"One bad seed kills the garden"
"One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"
Locked me up in towers
But I'd visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Devils that you know
Raise worse hell than a stranger
She's the death you chose
You're in terrible danger
And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata
I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters
Wise men once read fake news
And they believed it
Jackals raised their hackles
You couldn't conceive it
You were sleeping soundly
When they dragged you from your bed
And I tried to warn you about them
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Spread my wings like a parachute
I'm the albatross
I swept in at the rescue
The devil that you know
Looks now more like an angel
I'm the life you chose
And all this terrible danger
(This terrible danger)
So cross your thoughtless heart
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Yes, I have a new most favorite song since I've got the CD with bonus track after album's release and was able to finally listen to it. xD And I also have quite of collection of very different interpretations of it, written by curious Swifties. ;) No, I'm not going to share here which theory I support, but I think if true one day it will be mainstream knowledge, just like that theory about Folklore some people tell y'all two years ago and were ridiculed (and cyberbullied), which theory was basically confirmed by an official account this year and people acted like it's new, but it's not. So no, this picture is not about any theory (though some of them may overlap with it). :)
Those lyrics are great example of visual storytelling, and there is a certain scene with certain vibes, which triggered a memory and reminded me of something that literally happened in a game... at least from my POV it looked more or less like that when I had the choice of which player to save (I chose the danger and I have no regrets). No, I swear, I'm not being dramatic, it was the other player who wrote about falling from the cliff twice and the second time I just couldn't let it happen again! xD
I wanted to include the Albatross to stay as close to the lyrics as possible, because this is a tribute to the song first and foremost. So instead of including the actual characters from that game, I chose another character as a guest character, and I made some redesign, because my own characters were redesigned in previous pictures as well... :) I have our game host's permission to include the character which is not mine, so I hope it's okay. I just wanted to find a way to share a song, cause I think someone would like it.
My favorite part is, of course, the Albatross. I chose Laysan albatross as reference, cause I started with a tail so I needed to keep other parts dark too. I had to digitally recolor the head, though, cause Lego released only three colors, with one of them not being a bird's head at all despite the shape. So don't worry, everything is Lego here. :)
I hope you'll like the picture, cause I'm very excited about how it looks now with all the effects. :D
