Yeah, Wings could apply to several characters. "Don't spend another minute in this way" and "I know that it seems fake" got me thinking of Jaune, "Being stray" and "twelve hours is a long night" got me thinking of Blake, "Patience is hard to find" got me thinking of Weiss, the chorus screams Yang, Ruby and Pyrrha, and "don't be disappointed, don't let your heart break" made me think of Ozpin. I kind of saw Wings as a universal song for all the characters, really. I felt like they were some characters who were the ones with broken wings (Blake, Jaune etc.) and those trying to comfort them (Weiss, Pyrrha etc.). It's one of my favourites.

BUT not my favourite. My favourite is probably either RLR 2 or I May Fall.

RLR 2- Because... wow. It's a really sad, thought-provoking song that is delivered in an awesome, fast-paced package. The story itself, in which I interpret a mother and daughter *Cough* Ruby and Summer *cough cough* singing their messages to each other from earth and whatever lies after death. I see the story as a mother, whom was a Huntress, promised her daughter she would come back after a very scary-looking mission. She forgot about he promise during the mission, and sacrificed herself for someone else she loved, and left her daughter struggling to pick up the pieces after her death, and only when she was in the afterworld did the mother realize how big an impact she had on her daughter, and she's punishing herself for it, looking for forgiveness. It's a really, really sad and amazing song.

I May Fall- like any typical John Green book, this song makes people (well, me, anyway) contemplate our ENTIRE EXISTENCE. Like... seriously. I believe the story behind I May Fall is two leaders *cough* Ruby and Jaune *cough cough* who, despite being happy and upbeat, have come to terms with the fact that being a Hunter or Huntress will most likely lead to a young, violent death. But these two believe that what they're doing is right, and they would face this undeniably abrupt end for the sake of the earth. The leaders are facing a difficult battle- a battle that puts this into perspective. It is true that, indeed, they are going to die young- but you can't just let it ''happen. ''You can't plan what you're going to do if you lose, because if you do, you have already lost. You must always fight your hardest, must never give in, to delay that violent death as much as possible. The leaders are comforting their teammates during this battle. Yes, you may fall in the fight, but it doesn't have to be today. It may be a struggle, but you have to believe you can pull through.

So yeah, that's my two cents... wow I made that depressing.
