about

This song was partially inspired by "Dragon Half," a light-hearted manga and anime whose main character is the daughter of a dragon slayer and an imperial red dragon. Unlike the anime, "Half" explores the darker side of being different. Admittedly, this one is a bit personal.

A special thanks to Planet Marimba and Artifact Percussion.

lyrics

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I was just a girl, I thought I’d take on the world.
I would slay a dragon or two, and come to save you.
But little did I see my scaly little wings
At the very little least, you could have said I was the beast.

To my surprise, I was the one despised.
My breath was like flame, but my life brought so much shame.
Little did I know, I had claws instead of toes.
At the very little least, you could have said I was the beast.

I flew far away because I had no place to stay.
My dark scaly skin was an even darker sin.
Little could I hear the words that I was queer.
At the very little least, you could have said I was the beast.

In my quiet little den, no one could hurt me then.
But I hear feet approaching, the terror encroaching.
As safe as I could be, they’ve finally come for me.
At the very little least, am I really the beast?

I was a beast. The fear never ceased.
Though you might have cried, I always had the sky.
Freedom always there, high up in the air.
At the very little least, I was a happy little beast.

I am Cacophonie, conjurer of many noises! I consider myself a nerdy ex-classical percussionist, and often play marimba, vibraphone, and drum set. But you’ll also hear me sing and play ukulele, piano, ocarina, and anything else I want to pick up and learn. You can catch me stream live music on twitch.tv/cacophonie. Follow on all social medias @PercussiveEvent. ... more
