Another ATLA-inspired original? Your wish is my command. I wasn’t expecting to get another song done so soon, but the melody and lyrics for this one just flowed out one night, so now I’m super excited to share it with you! ♥

Shifting gears from Yue’s docile and delicate character, this is a piece inspired by everyone’s favorite Fire Nation Princess… Azula, to me, is arguably one of the most fascinating characters ever, and this song is kind of a tribute to that. 

It was inspired by her struggle for control and the decline of her character to the point of her breakdown. At the end of the day, she’s really just a kid who grew up genuinely believing that instilling fear was the only reliable way to connect to her friends and family… What’s more tragic than that?

In any case, as with my previous piece, I think this one can stand on its own despite the clear connection to Azula’s character, so whether you’re listening because you’re a fan of ATLA or not, I really hope you enjoy it — let me know what you think!

_{“Soldier’s Dance” // Adriana Figueroa (tinysaurus)}

_{Love is patient, love is kind
Love will make you lose your mind
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
But do you want to go insane?}

_{All I want to do is win
So tell me, is that such a sin?
If you let go of control
Then it will overtake your soul}

_{There’s a beauty in fear
It is much more sincere
So transparent and clear
There’s no lie}

_{So I’ll do it my way
You won’t lead me astray
When the night turns to day
I will rise}

_{I’m a soldier through and through
Yes, I do what I have to do
I am anything but weak
The thunder trembles when I speak}

_{All I want is to be great
So tell me, what is there to hate?
Fire and fire will collide
I will not let you break my pride}

_{There’s a beauty in fear
It is much more sincere
So transparent and clear
There’s no lie}

_{So I’ll do it my way
You won’t lead me astray
When the night turns to day
I will rise}

_{I am broken I am lost
Oh, was it really worth the cost?
Stood too closely to the flames
And now I’ll never be the same}

(As with my last original, this piece is also available for purchase on Bandcamp for those of you who would like to support the music! Let me know if you download it, so I can properly thank you!! And a huge thanks to everyone who bought the last song, as well — you are seriously wonderful! ♥)

I’m super excited to finally be able to make this post — today I’d like to share with you guys my first completely original song! I’ve never been great at coming up with original stuff from scratch, but I was playing around and somehow this came about.

It’s heavily based on Princess Yue from Avatar: The Last Airbender, but hopefully it’s a song that everyone will be able to enjoy even if they’re not a fan of the series. This is the first time I’ve tried something like this, so let me know what you think! I’m always open to feedback. :)

_{“Daughter of the Moon” // Adriana Figueroa (tinysaurus)}

_{Silver light
She turned her face up to the starlit sky
And on this night began to wonder why
She knew that soon the day would come}

_{Born to be
An heir of beauty and serenity
Into this world she entered quietly
To her surprise she was the one}

_{Destiny was close behind her
Phantom of borrowed life
And the sea was a reminder
Mirror of given light}

_{Then one day
The sign she’d waited for in skies of grey
Traversed a winding road and came her way
She found the love she hoped she would}

_{But she knew
That she had promises to stay true to
The dormant daughter of the silver moon
Then all at once she understood}

_{Destiny was close behind her
Phantom of borrowed life
And the sea was a reminder
Mirror of given light}

_{From the sky
She watched the life
She’d known she would leave behind
Said goodbye
And gave her people
Life through her sacrifice}
