Okay, you guys can thank dark seraph for making me want to necro this thread.
That link he posted over in the videos thread on General Chatter was a perfect fit, I think, for Teletha Testarossa... at least as long as she's having a fit of ambivalence.
In case no one saw it, here it is: http://baitstudios.com/di...eboot/SoundShow/NoLight/
The 'video' content is Portal-related, but still. Whoa.
I'll go over what my brain is doing in regards to the lyrics.
EDIT: Giving this the same HTML tables treatment I gave Rei's song, just because I like completeness for completeness' sake
[table]LyricsNotes You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over your the start
You're my head, you're my heart
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
And through the crowd I was
Crying out and
In your place there were
A thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me
I need to make it right
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You are the revelation
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
But would you leave me,
If I told you what I've done
And would you leave me
If I told you what I've become
'Cause it's so easy,
To sing it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love
To say it to you, all alone
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But, it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution.
You are the revelation.
You want a revelation
You want to get right.
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight.
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say
This is pretty self explanatory.

He is wielding
tonfa like they're part of his body.
She really would, at that.
And she's got no idea what to say.
Zeke moves away and Teletha is by herself even
though she goes to
school with other children.
But none of them could replace Zeke.
She wants to make right the fact that they were separated,
despite the fact that it was beyond their control.
At this point, I can see this being Teletha's more negative
emotions speaking to her.
Mental imagery here? Zeke going to town on the multiple
Cardians summoned during his battle with Lum.
She's truly terrified that Zeke will hate her for some of the
shitty calls she's had to make during her career at MYTHRIL.
Imagery here of the ceremonial role-call she takes
after the
events post-climax from Season 1 of FMP
where she calmly accepts that
the KIA crewmen are
'on patrol'. (Submariner tradition - any submariner
lost at sea is on patrol forever after.) And then her
with Zeke at a
bad moment with her sullenly unable
to say anything to him.
Mental imagery: Zeke in his techno-mage 'Armslave' fighting at
Sosuke's side against overwhelming odds.
Again, negative-Teletha
This time, though, it's Zeke confronting her,
where she asks him what he wants her to say. [/table]
Should I do the same with Rei and A Little Piece as well?
