- Content Warning -
"Machine Gun" - Possible references/themes: betrayal, insanity, revenge, murder. Profanity: one partially censored profanity (uncensored in some covers).
"i'm ME now" - Possible references/themes: betrayal, relationship (now ended) that was quite possibly toxic to some degree.
So... yay! My ninth lyrics video is finally, finally done! ^^;
Short description:
"i'm ME now" (iMn) is basically the "i DO what i WANT" lyrics adapted into the "Machine Gun" music. It's arguably a story about finding (or re-finding) oneself.
(iDwiW & MG links near the bottom of this Description!)
Longer description:
Wow, it's finally, finally done.
It's been more than a year since I started working on this project. And normally, it wouldn't have taken a year to complete. But, well... 2020. =p
Anyway... yeah, after completing two sides of this KIRA triangle (iDwiW+RWU, RWU+MG), well... I'm sure some of you probably suspected that I might eventually get around to completing the third side. =)
And honestly, I'm glad I did! It took a lot of work, and as usual, there are still one or two spots that could probably be polished up a bit more... but overall, I'm pretty happy with how these lyrics turned out... and hope you will be as well!
So anyway, here are the lyrics!

"i'm ME now"
It's been
three and a half days since
you took my heart
and you broke it into
a million pieces
that shattered
into sharp, painful
memories of you...
'Til now
I've been in a daze...
well, not anymore!
I'm not gonna fall
for you
and all of your ####
cuz
I know better
I know better now!
Something you should know...
it's too late, you can't
hold me back now, baby!
No, not anymore...
No, not anymore!
I should pity you
cuz you've already lost...
(I won't, though!)
You know what you did,
now you must face the cost...
All you are is a
tragedy,
so don't get in my way!
Cuz it's time for me
to be gettin' my way now!
* I am on top now,
call the shots now
and
I am through
listening to
all that you
spew
cuz I...
I-I-I'm free now! *
** DO what i WANT
I can do what I want!
DO what i WANT
I can do what I wa-a-a-ant!
DO what i WANT
I can do what I want!
DO what i WANT
I can do what I-I wa-a-a-ant! **
It's time for me
to get started,
throw the trash out,
and redefine me...
No way I'll
ever go back
to being that naive girl
I used to be!
By now you should know,
ain't no way you can
hold me back now, baby!
No, not anymore...
No, not anymore!
Can't you see the signs
that you've already lost?
(I'll show ya!)
I'm so much stronger now,
I'm the final boss...
Don't you get it?
You can't be saved,
so don't get in my way!
Cuz it's time for me
to be gettin' my way now!
[Repeat *]
[Repeat **]
*** - Because I'm finally...
- c-cuz I'm finally...
DO what i WANT
I can do what I wa-a-a-ant!
- Because I'm finally...
- c-cuz I'm finally...
DO what i WANT
I can do what I-I wa-a-a-ant! ***
It's time for me to
crush down these walls
and break through!
No more limitations...
time for the real me
to awaken!
I'm M to the I to the K to the U!
Don't need permission for what I do!
Gonna go off and make things right...
I'm gonna gonna have fun tonight !!!!!!!
[Repeat **]
- I feel so free...
[Repeat ***]
- I'm free now
i'm ME now

...and a couple tiny bits (running out of space in this Description!) of extra info. ^^
- Special thanks! I really liked the phrases "gettin' my way" (kyaami) and "gonna gonna" (Lulu Grey Sings) when I first encountered them (links below!)... so I was really happy that I actually managed to figure out a way to work both of them into iMn! ^^
- Oh, Milkychan's cover (which I watched long before I started working on iMn!) also did "gonna gonna", but I actually didn't notice until after I'd already completed iMn. ^^;
- I hadn't originally planned to do the "in two" thing in the video... but I kinda like how it turned out! =)
