Hi, Annette. Looks like some tasty food you've got there. Mind if I join you?

Annette

Sure, but I'm finished eating. You're here late. Busy day?

Claude

Very. I got caught up thinking about your song. I find it really makes the time fly.
link
Annette

So you didn't manage to forget about that. I really wish you would.

Claude

Alas, I cannot! That song is engraved on my soul. The lyrics...they echo in my brain, begging to be understood.

Those words represent the cry of a poor soul who died in anguish... Is that it? That's it, isn't it?

Annette
volume_up

The cry...of a poor soul?

Claude

A land that's dark and frigidly cold... That could only mean the underworld.

Claude

In my search for truth, I read up on the old rituals of the eastern regions of Faerghus.

Claude

Those who die with regret are thought to end up in an underworld of sorts. Somewhere cold. Somewhere dark. Somewhere...creepy.
link
Claude
volume_up

To escape from their bitter limbo, they dig their way up through the earth, trying to find the surface... or the light, in other words.
link
Claude
volume_up

And so they creep about endlessly in the cold dirt of the underworld, clinging to their hopeless desire... Creepity creep, Annette. Creepity creep.
link
Annette

Eh...
link
Claude
volume_up

So? Was I right or was I right?
link
Annette
volume_up

What? No! You're not even close! It wasn't supposed to be a dark and miserable song at all.
link
Claude
volume_up

Huh. Now that I think about it...the melody and dance didn't really match the weight of the lyrics.
link
Annette
volume_up

The lyrics are simply about seeds pushing out of the ground to become sweet, little buds.
link
Annette
volume_up

They creep through the dirt until they find the light! The song just describes what it's like to be a budding flower.
link
Claude
volume_up

Damn. That is good stuff. OK, maybe I read too much into it. Actually, now that you've explained, it really is a nice little song.
link
Claude
volume_up

Creepity creep... The gentle journey from the ground to the surface. I love it.
link
Annette
volume_up

Do you...think it's embarrassing that I made up such a silly song?
link
Claude
volume_up

Not at all. Oh! But that reminds me. I was so inspired by Creepity Creep that I made up some lyrics of my own.
link
Claude
volume_up

I've been nonchalantly carrying them around with me hoping to run into you. Would you mind taking a look?
link
Annette
volume_up

Oh, of course! Let's see here...

Annette
volume_up

♪Walking with purpose and a steady stride... Lively and bright and full of pride...♪
link
Annette

♪Crying, laughing, and blazing ahead... Why worry 'bout tomorrow? Let's eat instead...♪
link
Annette
volume_up

So, uh... What would you say this song is about, Claude?
link
Claude
volume_up

Oh, Annette. Sweet Annette. This time it's your turn to decipher its meaning. Let me know when you've figured it out!
