Sashimori - Seasource (Unofficial Lyrics) - Splatoon 3

My take on the lyrics for Seasource.
God, I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. Something about the chopped up guitar, the vocals, and that amazing chorus just tickles the part of my brain that says, "Damn, that's a good song." Honestly, it might even be in my top 3 songs in all of Splatoon, (currently Rockagilly Blues, Ska-BLAM, and No Quarters) though that might just be recency bias.
Anyways, LYRICS! These are also, genuinely, my absolute favorite lyrics that I've ever written for ANY Splatoon song! It was a ton of fun to work with the choppy vocals, and I just really like how the lyrics sort of tell a story here.
It also works really well in tandem with the lyrics I wrote for Amalgamania, with Amalgamania focusing more on the wider, societal scope of all of Alterna, while this one focuses on a more, individual, personal scope of one of the rocket scientists, which was overall just fun to try and piece together.
Lyrics:
Watch out!
WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT!
We aim to the sky-
Our goal lies up high- the stars-
Those old, scared geezers-
What did they ever- new sky!
It- looks- just- like- home!
I- can- we- go- out-
We’re gonna take back-
See the land above- And they- fears don’t control us!
Don’t tell me what to do- I KNOW.
Don’t care if you were great!
Can’t- don’t keep- I’m sorry- WHAT?!
(TAHW!⸮- TAHW!⸮- TAHW!⸮- TAHW!⸮-)
Oh! Remember when you all brought the sky to this dark world?
I wish I had listened-
Mom and dad- dreams- broken-
I don’t know what I’m doing!-
To the sky, we’ll find our- where did you go?
-OUT!
Falling shards! Wasn’t it enough,
to stare at a sky built on top of our own dreams?
Back to when we were- young without my burning sins-
To any still out there- go and see the sky!

    Honestly i love the idea behind these lyrics built by paul as a way to express his emotions about his octarian heritage and the kind of people he was raised to admire - not the people doing good things today, but the old vets from the great turf war, who refuse to live for the future, rotting in the memory of the past, and the leaders of the oppressive societies (inkling and octarian) that still keep so many of his people trapped underground to this day. Really fits with sashimori's punk inspiration! Really good lyrics for a song that already made me feel emotional, now even more so :)

    ooh, i love this interpretation! my original idea was just to base it off of the alterna rocket launch that caused them all to die off, specifically on how the scientists ignored the warnings of the elders and these being the recordings from during the rocket building process as well as being from the few who survived the falling shards before they slowly died off this interpretation totally fits as well though, kind of gives it a double-meaning

    @@TVCat58 oh shit!! I did consider alterna too, but I didn't realize that was your main idea!! Honestly that just makes these lyrics all the better!! The similarities between the two scenarios - the human youth bringing about the end of their species in an attempt to see the sky and octarian youth rebelling against an oppressive society that uses those same fractured false skies as a security blanket just It's such a good dichotomy and it really further enforces the way the sea life took up humanity's mantle and is working to overcome the mistakes of humanity they have no idea they inherited

    This is amazing! The story you put into this one makes me think of a very young human trying to become a scientist to help with the rockets, and when alterna began to crumble, they tried to save younger humans so they could escape and see the sky. What's heartbreaking is that the vocals are audibly from someone pretty young so paul found recordings of this young person panicking throughout the whole disaster ;( amazing lyrics, "i dont know what im doing" really hit hard

    thanks! when i first heard this song, the vocals in the chorus really just screamed to me the feelings of guilt and regret, and with how i was basing my amalgamania lyrics off of alterna, i thought i'd base these ones off of alterna as well, focusing primarily on the scientists who tried to reach the surface against the advice of the elders and the fallout from the cave-in, watching as those very same elders who had raised them as well as the rest of the community suffered for their mistakes

    I don't think the (gibberish) lyrics for this song have been revealed yet? I mainly based them on the vibes I had been getting from the chorus, which kind of seemed like they were filled with regret and guilt, and just built on the lyrics from there.
