about
Yeah, so...... She-Ra season 5 happened, and I'm dead, on the floor, crying, sobbing, convulsing... all that good stuff! I literally HAD to write a song. Like, I had so many feelings that I physically could not contain them. AHHHHHHH. So they leaked out of me in the form of this song.
Anyway, this song is from Catra's perspective, and it basically tracks key moments of the season as they pertain to Catra and Adora's main story arcs, those being Catra's redemption, Adora's hero complex, and, of course, their love for each other.
On a personal level, Catradora means so much for me. I admit I joined the fandom (VERY VERY VERY) late, but I think back to Korrasami at the end of 2014, and I see how very far we've come. I literally cried my whole butt off when they kissed. So huge thank you to creator Noelle Stevenson & the whole SPoP team.
lyrics
I miss you more than I
Will ever say out loud
I thought maybe I’d get the chance
But “I’m sorry” is all I have time to get out
I know that you’d come to save her
Even though it’s a death wish
I’m sorry that I wasn’t braver
But I’ll gladly trade myself for you to live
Just this once, I’ll make the good choice
I know we both won’t make it out alive
You’re so stuck on self-sacrifice
Just this once, I’ll be the good guy
Just this once, I’ll do what’s right
If only this one good thing in my life
You’re worth this one sacrifice
Just this once I’ll be the good guy
But images leak through the static
Desperate blue sneaks through the green
I swear I’m fighting it with everything I’ve got
But when I fall you follow me
The next time I open my eyes
You’re on your knees, I’m still alive
But soon you’re asked again
To carry the weight of the world to the end
But you’re worth more than what you sacrifice
So just this once, make a different choice
Someone else can save the world this time
You’re so stuck on self-sacrifice
Just this once, don’t be the good guy
But it’s you that I’ve always loved
So I’m not going anywhere tonight
I’m staying with you and we’ll play the good guy
I don’t want you to be noble
You promised that you’d take me home, so
Just this once
Just this once
You’ve never once given up
Not even when I’ve pulled away
But now I’m here and it’s almost done
So just this once
Just this once
You’ve never once given up
Even from that very first day
Edges rough, but it was always love
So just this once
Stay
You turn to me, it’s finally over
You can keep your promise after all
We’re going home after all this time,
Shocked that we both made it out alive
Now we get to tell a story
That didn’t just end with a hero’s sacrifice
It goes “just this once I’ll choose what I want”
And “just this once I’ll do the right thing”
And “just this once I’ll choose to save her”
And “just this once I’ll sacrifice”
“Just this once I’ll make my own choice”
And “just this once I’ll be the good guy”
