some years ago for a game I had a text/songtext for a alternate version of the themesong which was altered so it could be used with text instead of fully soundtrack/musical. while that game was much darker and the text was meant to be much simpler and not to deep since most of the actual story wouldn't be known by normal peolpe anyway, essentially the story "Ether" was about some acient light/magic/creation/energy being basically a dragon which has taken on a humanoid form to visit and help a world it created. to keep it short and simple at some point something happens and the dragon is asleep(gone) for very long in which time a darkness/corruption has taken over the entire world, essentially it needed to be/survive and heal the world which was already dead/destroyed where all light had already gone and so that dragon in humanoid form was the only light left in that world, where ofcource the ones it had to help and heal also where the very ones trying to destroy it.
the story and all where kept rather simple since it was a school project and there also where other people, and I couldn't put in to many deeper or dragonlike,or magical things as easily.
the song version of the official soundtrack(simplified version of the complete)also reflects that it had to be kept basic and simple, but it still is kind of similar in parts of it's meaning even if many parts are left out and it is heavily simplified.
but perhaps parts of it could be like inspiration.
"Little star, causing shimmer,
Single spark across the sky.
In the dark it is hard to see,
Until you choose to be the light"
(that is the most important part, I more kind of added a songtext version for just adding one, but only used the official instrumental version I made before so the songtext beyond this where more filler for a large part)
full:
"Little star, causing shimmer,
Single spark across the sky.
In the dark it is hard to see,
Until you choose to be the light
{hunted by your own/old creation,
saw your friends and family die.
While this dark tries to end/take all,
little star wants it's life.}hunted by your own/old creation,
saw your friends and family die.
In this dark now forsaken.
Little Star learn to fight.
Little star shining brighter.
Little star wings of light.
Little star now awaking.
Little star, now will fight.
Little star, causing shimmer,
Single spark across the sky.
In the dark it is hard to see,
Until you choose to be the light
hunted by your own/old creation,
saw your friends and family die.
In this dark now forsaken.
Little Star learns to fight.
in Time memory my creation
yet my hearth now far(deep) forsaken.
oh my darkness do you know fright,..(you'll know fright)
you will see my light(I will show my light)
little star, light like fire,
single spark ignites the skies.
oh you darkness, don't you get it.
your end starts with my light."
I wrote that some years ago, for a school project game, just was more a filler song alternative version of the actual theme song, I wrote the song, the story behind the song, etc. it tries to cover somewhat similar subjects just very much simplified, and made a little less speciffic to make it so that nobody had any issues with it. this version of it also never made it into the game, was more for documentation purposes and such, since in the game we used the normal instrumental track I made. it might not be optimal in all ways since it is simplified so much and is also tuned towards a dark somewhat agressive pop like mood(the real song isn't as agressive and way more modular, but this songtext version is) but still perhaps some inspiration might be taken from it which is why I mention it. after all it are the small sparks that ignite a fire, even the unexpected one nobody really expects anything from.
have some others as well, even though most often I don't use words only feelings. but perhaps "wake up" and "story of my past" might also have possibly interesting parts but I currently don't really feel like writing those down, wake up was started in a very isolated and magical place in germany with many "odd" stories but knowing that place many of them might be true one of them is for sure, because the "odd" thing from that story is me, some people there also knew that, they just didn't know who of my family it was. but this was about something else related to a lot of people who suddenly disapeared seemed to vanish into nothing leaving everything like they where still/just using it, and how somehow at some moments(mostly in the deep fog at night, when it bridges between the swamp that place and the second valley) things would still change in ways like how they used to do the things as if they still where there, just only at very speciffic moments. while that text is actually about that parts of it could also be used to reffer to that whenthings are bad that is reason to wake up and follow the light of the stars to fight the evil/darkness and be untill day breaks again and your help is no longer needed.
"story of my past" actually does go deeper but again is simplified, it is about Time but there is a whole more complicated story behind it to actually understand it, in the story it is sung by Time(a dragon who controlls and protects dimensions but atleast in that world mostly focuses on the Time dimension) which had taken on a physical form just before a speciffic person would betray it, that person only knows the dragon as a friend and actually might not even know it is a dragon since that human knows him/her/it in a humanoid form. the betrayal is when the human decides to kill the physical form the dragon is in/took on because someone(some kind of goddes, temple and ritual(long story)) told him that if he did that he would reach all his dreams. a story of my past is a song which is sang kind of like some form of guidance(guiding prophecy which takes a while before he understand it actually was telling about the future and the past) because that dragon already knew what he was going to do, it reffers to that fact, but also to how there is so much the human doesn't see yet, and how it's evil deeds now even if it seems like they help him reach whatever he want eventually are things he would want he avoided at around any cost. it also tells about the repeating of many things through time in multiple ways, as in the way where similar things keep happening, but also like a Esyrylos(time itself happening again causing all that happened withing to no longer exist at all in any way other than as a memory of/in Time, I know strange name, if you want it to sound nice then instead reffer to the world in such a moment/place since that has a much nicer name). later that human blinds himself to try get away from his evil since his eyes made him blind, after that eventually he sees by feeling magic since he is quite strong and super old since he essentially had become immortal to normal death, he also founded a city(which even has a anthem) which actually also secretly turned evil, the original antherm also had parts to reffer to the evil but those where hidden from the normal people so they would think all the country did was good(that person himself had little to do with that city anymore other than being there close to a certain tower which humanity used to destroy the world to satisfy the greed of certain of them. the dragon later visits again in another form just before the second end of that world to prevent that end to be everlasting, I am pretty positive he felt/noticed it. but he didn't speak about it, probably as a punishment to himself, after all dragons don't need words often, especially not when in a form closer to their normal form.
