User blog:Lythe Angel/Sacrifice Analysis

I know this is very late- way late- but I did this last year late December [because I had seen so many of this about Cinder and meh], so some info might be missing. Just wondering about your thoughts?

'''Close your eyes now time for dreams Death is never what it seems Did the things you thought you should All the things they said were good''' ''Cinder/Summer talking to each other Like either Summer or Cinder believing in their higher ups and the other wants then to change''

All your faith in ancient ways Leave you trapped inside a maze Could be about Summer and her belief in Ozpin, who is presumably old(ancient) or Cinder and her belief in a legend which explains her behavior or her higher up- Salem- who can be assumed is as old/older than Ozpin. Take the lives of those you need Sow the death then reap the seed. Reap the seed Summer telling Cinder that taking others'- the maidens' lives/the legendary warriors- won't work

Born an angel Heaven sent Fall from grace are never elegant Cinder might have been one of the Maidens or something important, but she was removed from it, and she fell [fall].Stars will drop out of the sky The moon will finally watch the roses wither in vain ''I think there weren't any stars on Remnant. And the moon- Summer- will watch the rose- Ruby- 'die in vain'. Think Red like Roses II. Or that line can be about Blake (who could be the moon, probably not, just saying) watching Adam kill/something in vain, since wither is his weapon's name.''

Lost, no gain But you're not taking me Summer not wanting Cinder- or her higher ups- to have her or her powers

You can't take my life, I'm not your sacrifice Summer will not let Cinder take her or sacrifice herself for Cinder to take her powers/Neither will the public die to appease her You can try, but I'm free But you won't conquer me Summer will not accept defeatI won't crawl Most of all, I won't fall, for you. Neither will she give her powers to her

Show them gods and deities, Blind and keep the people on their knees Showing the people that there are higher ups to keep them safe while the higher ups try to control them

Truth will rise, Revealed by mirrored eyes Foreshadowing Cinder's plans will be revealed by Ruby/Weiss- or a new character with mirrored eyes, or [character] will defeat her

What if all the plans you made Were not worth the price they paid? Is Cinder ready to pay the price for revenge?

Even with the lives you stole Still no closer to your goal Killing maidens-or anyone else for their powers won't work

Chorus

In other words, this song is like a Cinder/Summer conversation-slash- fight.
