Visions: Another You

I'll leave all the commentary until after the lyrics this time...

Lyrics:

So many times I was alone and couldn't sleep
You left me drowning in the tears of memory
and ever since you've gone I found it hard to breathe
'Cus there was so much that your heart just couldn't see

A thousand wasted dreams rolling off my eyes
Time's been healing me, and I say good bye

I can breathe again, dream again
I'll be on the road again
Like it used to be the other day

Now I feel free again, so innocent
'cus someone makes me whole again
For sure
I'll find another you.

Could you imagine someone else is by my side?
I've been afraid he couldn't keep myself from falling
My heart was always searching for a place to hide
Could not await the dawn to bring another day

You're not the only one, so hear me when I say
The thoughts of you, they just fade away

'cus I can breathe again, dream again
I'll be on the road again
Like it used to be the other day

Now I feel free again, so innocent
'cus someone makes me whole again
For sure
I'll find another you.

Sometimes I see you when I close my eyes
You're still a part of my life.

But I can breathe again, dream again
I'll be on the road again
Like it used to be the other day

Now I feel free again, so innocent
'cus someone makes me whole again
For sure
I'll find another you.
Oh, I'll find another you.

I got this idea...I'm pretty sure it was mostly my own, but I'll acredit it to the FWL voice anyway. What if a featherwing virgin was in a plane crash, a really nasty one in cold weather? Say it has some injuries and can't build a shelter to sleep in (it has always been a rule that a featherwing must be awake to have its wings deployed.) Another, uninjured human survivor is available, and the weather is too cold for the human to be able to build a shelter without the wings to protect him from the cold (for various reasons, survivors of plane crashes where the fuselage breaks up are very unlikely to be dressed for the weather.)

The featherwing virgin became the young lady, Lucy, while the human grew into Troy. I wrote the basic script on 17 March with no plan yet to integrate it into the main story. This became the ナ (na) chapter. As soon as I had the last word for the first draft, the FWL voice says to me, "now, Troy has a wife and two kids...deal with it."

Oh...flipping...crap.

As you can probably imagine, adultery is wrong in my faith (actually, I can't think of a religious faith off the top of my head that doesn't see adultery as wrong), so needless to say, I'm wondering whether my God had anything to do with this mysterious little voice from the ether (I ultimately concluded that He did, but it wasn't until 21 April.)

So, face it...we're human, we screw up. I was left to figure out how Troy and Lucy decide to deal with the resulting mess. They decide "we're dead" and evade rescue, leave society and secretly raise their own family, leaving Troy's wife and kids to believe that he died in the crash, leaving no survivors at all. What happens if Mary, his first wife finds out? Well, that's the ヒ (hi) chapter, and let's leave it at that for now...

So, this song is basically Mary dreaming of her second husband.
