wow twigs i did not know you made a song about deltarune that's sooooo cool

No but really, I don’t think there could possibly be a better opener. Why does it work so well??

I wish I had help from a deeper force
Some kind of meta angel
Then they could whisper all the answers
And maybe life would just slow down
I don't think that I'll make it on my own

I've got voices in my head...
[...]
But when I'm winning, I'm a flier
Soprano in the choir
I've got a love for desire
It gets higher and higher (Some kind of meta angel)

Well, I'm off into the night, they call me Jane Doe

Never gonna think about that again
I'm never gonna think about that again...

My bag of souls is so heavy and I think I see yours
I'm headin' out, so don't let me forget to pack a sword

Loss of innocence x RPG grinding (the classic combo)

Wings, hearts, some things are meant to be torn apart
Faith, hope, some things are meant to be gone broke

Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies...
We stay up all night killing butterflies
[...]
Maybe it's my fault we've been up all night
Only thing we have is our appetite
Just a little more just to stabilise
Every, every night killing butterflies

I don't wanna die for love
But a holy love
That one and only love
My life is worthy of

Dancin' in the dark, I can feel it in my heart, you're a killer
But I didn't wanna call it
Something in the way you put your hands on my waist, pulled me nearer
No, I never wanna call it
Didn't wanna call it, didn't wanna call it
Took your love for righteous and now I'm in a crisis with a killer

Oh god, The Code. I have so much to say about it.

First of all yes I know that this song was written about being non-binary and yes for that reason I considered putting it in Kris’ solo playlist instead. However, I keep drawing on the double meaning of Literal Code in the context of the weird route ‘cause we all know Noelle and her game-breaking shenanigans but we're making Kris make her "break the game" in weirdroute and omg. it’s. so good...

SO if I'm reading the song through the lens of the weird route I think it can fit the player’s perspective, ‘cause we are pushing to see what happens, we want the angel’s heaven or whatever. We are PUMPED and PSYCHED to find out the secrets no matter the consequences. And at the same time, Noelle is rationalising that it’s good to get stronger, and there’s some part of Kris that enjoys this as well (if we believe the Shadow Mantle holder), so you could argue that it’s exhilarating for both of them them too, even if not in the same way.

And that operatic part right after the bridge... those sweeping high notes make you FEEL like you’re in a blizzard. It just feels perfect for the climax of the Chapter 2 segment.

I'm done playin' the game, I'll break out of the chains
[...]
(Oh) Let me taste the lows and highs
(Oh) Let me feel that burning fright
(Oh) This story is my truth

I, I went to hell and back
To find myself on track
I broke the code, woah-oh-oh
[...]
Somewhere between the 0s and 1s
That's where I found my kingdom come
My heart beats like a drum

Burn these memories
I want them dead
And if you threaten my serenity
I disconnect

Weightless; I think I'll just erase this
And think of something else
Stasis; I live in empty spaces
I built around myself
Weightless; my quarantine is painless
And that's why nothing heals
Stainless; I'm bored of pretty faces
So I'm becoming steel

the off-screen midnight comfort scene is everything to me cri

Standing in the open light
Within the swelter of the night
I found myself staring at you
And every time our fingers touched
I felt like it would be too much
And too little to hang onto

I cannot fall in love with you
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
I cannot be this way with you
I cannot fall in love with you

I knew it when you looked my way
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself

"Who...? Who's going to hear?"
♥️ Me

Well you can go and hate me
But I just fell in love
With all this freedom that I found

Saying I've been different lately
Think I should let you know
That I am not your baby now

Phones are tapped again
They know just what I've said

The edge of the knife is choosing its team
The start of the threat is that I'm not asleep

Thank you.

Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
[...]
I wish that I could just be brave
I must become a lion-hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
[...]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
This is a gift

Kris depression after you ruin everything for them and they have to go the Dark World like everything's normal... I interpret feeling "life here in my heart again" as the SOUL's power/will, which would be something absolutely terrifying in this context.

And if you subscribe to Noelle-has-a-piece-of-the-SOUL-now theory, you might be able to make the song work from that perspective too.

Here in the dark I feel electric
I sense my skin in between the waves
I am human, I am criminal
But I feel life here in my heart again

Standing in the rain
Thinking of a way
To keep these feelings inside
Walk away from here
Before the words appear
I will be silent
