Still Waters » Dive Deep » The Storm
This song is just so purely Filia through and through that I plan to make an AVM of it for Filia once I move in with a friend of mine who has a lot more AVM-making experience than I do.
The Storm
by Garth Brooks
She sits among the pieces
Of broken glass and photographs.
Reluctantly releases
The last of what was her past.
Can you just see her in the Ancient's temple, that haunted look in her eyes when faced with the vision of the past, the reality placed before her by the ghosts of the Ancient Elders?
It struck without a warning
Or did she just ignore the signs
Of those dark clouds forming
Behind her silver lines?
Was it really without a warning, or did she ignore the signs readily available to all who looked?
The door, it slammed like thunder,
And the tears, they fell like rain.
And the warnings from her family
Whirl like a hurricane.
This part was the last cincher, because I was looking at it all wrong. I kept reading it as warning her away from danger without factoring in the comparison. Hurricanes are powerful, destructive, overwhelming forces.
She's drowning in emotion,
And she cannot reach the shore.
Watch Filia in TRY episode 21 when the ghosts of the Ancients confront her. Look at her face, the expression. She's drowning in emotion and she cannot reach the shore.
She is alive,
But will she survive the storm?
Ironically, the Stevie Nicks song Twisted is a number I often attribute to Valgaav and Filia. "You'd like to save her, but you just can't give it up. You'd rather be wrapped up in the arms of the storm." - Can she survive the storm?
A broken jewel box dancer
Lies in pieces down the hall.
She's finding out that the answers
Don't change nothing at all.
She has the answers, but as the end of TRY proves, the answers don't change a thing. Nothing does, and nothing will.
It's time that she stopped searching
For who's to blame or what went wrong.
The only thing that's certain is
He's gone, she's got to move on.
Yes, the Goldens were responsible, but it doesn't matter anymore. The answers aren't going to turn back time. Valgaav's lost to her.
The door, it slammed like thunder,
And the tears, they fell like rain.
And the warnings from her family
Whirl like a hurricane.
She's drowning in emotion,
And she cannot reach the shore.
She is alive,
But will she survive the storm?
Some days just roll on by
Without a gray cloud in the sky.
She keeps telling herself
"I can make it on my own."
And her friends,
They've all gone back to their lives,
Thinking she will be all right
As she races through the night to make it home.
Lina and the others continue on with their lives leaving Filia to rebuild hers. Certainly, she must have reassured them she'd be just fine, but as the song "When the Lights Go Down" illustrates, she still races through the night to make it home.
The door, it slammed like thunder,
And the tears, they fell like rain.
And the warnings from her family
Whirl like a hurricane.
She's drowning in emotion,
And she cannot reach the shore.
She is alive,
But will she survive the storm?
