DISSONANCE - A RUPPHIRE FAN SONG

DISSONANCE - A RUPPHIRE FAN SONG

@insectoid5 @makingtodayaperfectday did you want to hear this? (crystal jams forever!)

This was inspired by @jen-iii’s beautiful comic strip which can be found here. (Hope you don’t mind.) Although I thought it would be presumptuous to use the actual dialogue, it got me thinking about the difficulties that Ruby and Sapphire would encounter at the start of their fused relationship. Sharing the same mind was never going to be easy, but their love will pull them through :)

This goes out to @squaremomgsquad for making me feel so welcome in the fandom!

It’s set as a dialogue between Ruby and Sapphire with a bit of Garnet thrown in. The coda is pretty cryptic so if you get what it means then thank you ~

Lyrics:

This is it, how it goes

It was never perfect, I suppose

Just the two of us, just the one of me

How it should be

 Your thoughts bleeding into mine

And they stumble and spill and cross the line

No you can’t touch that bit, that bit’s mine

But you can’t have secrets when you share the same mind

 Oh really, watch me try

It’ll never work - oh of course, how could I

Forget, you can see the future, right

Well you couldn’t foresee how I saved your life before…

 I’m sorry, I went too far

It’s all my fault we keep falling apart

No, don’ t say that, we’re both to blame

I just don’t understand, it’s never the same anymore…

 Do you remember the feeling

The utter bliss, the joy of disappearing

Now we’re dissonance, I don’t know what to do

 Well if we can’t be at the same pitch

We may as well play in tune

If we can’t be one, we should try and like being two…

(oohs)

 We can’t go on like this forever

Using all our strength just to hold ourselves together

When you’re dissonant then love becomes so hard

 So we’ll just sit and talk about anything

Under the stars

Not perfect, but we’re making a start…

(aahs)

 And maybe we’ll hear the fleeting chime

Of how it sounded that first time

And I’ll pull you close and our gems will shine

Run my hand through your hair, except it’ll be mine

And maybe we’ll hear the fleeting chime

Of how it sounded that first time

And I’ll pull you close and our gems will shine

And I’ll open your eyes, but by then they’ll be mine…

P.S. Ignore my awful breath control. And clunky strumming. And picking patterns. This mini ukulele is hard to play!
