Liner Notes

#skirmish #point-counterpoint #filk #starwars

I can't believe Fawm made me write a song from Anakin's point of view. 😬 But the prompt suggested to answer another Fawm-song, and with two songs from Obi-Wan's pov whatelse could I do? These songs are: "The Peerless One" https://fawm.org/songs/327523 and "Let Go of the Anger" https://fawm.org/songs/322302

I would probably use another beat, more aggressive, but it's in the middle of the night and I can't be loud.

Lyrics

You Hold Me Back

I’m always first in battle, because I don’t like holding back It’s not my fault I have the courage [Am}that you seem to lack My men know they can trust me and follow my command They only count the winnings not the rules I break or bend

I feel the Force around us I can make it do my bidding You say that you believe in me but who are you kidding You always hold me back, nobody ever understands I could do so much more with all this power at my hands

I am the Chosen One, I will not be denied Are you with me, are you on my side? Passion, anger, love and force all these things we should endorse There is no peace but what we bring, hear my lightsaber sing

You chide me for my feelings then tell me that you care I never can do right by you that really isn’t fair I have good plans, I know my men, and proved that I have grit I once have been your padawan, but I am not a kid

It’s always about honor, about what you deem is right But if we stopped holding back then we could end this fight Can’t you feel the Force around us, giving us its strength But you talk about boundaries and keep it at arm’s length
