Fragments
...of Hope and Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving this road down to paradise,
Letting the sunlight into my eyes
Our only plan is to improvise
And it's crystal clear that I don't ever want it to end

If I had my way, I would never leave
Keep building these random memories
Turning our days into melodies
But since I can't stay...

I'll just keep playing back
These fragments of time
Everywhere I go, these moments will shine

I'll just keep playing back
These fragments of time
Everywhere I go, these moments'll shine

Familiar faces I've never seen
Living the gold and the silver dream
Making me feel like I'm 17
And it's crystal clear, I don't ever want it to end

If I had my way, I would never leave
Keep building these random memories
Turning our days into melodies
But since I can't stay...

I'll just keep playing back
These fragments of time
Everywhere I go, these moments will shine
I'll just keep playing back
These fragments of time
Everywhere I go, this moment'll shine

I'll just keep playing back
These fragments of time
Everywhere I go, these moments will shine
I'll just keep playing back




These fragments of time
These moments shine

But it feels like you are the top.
Good job
On creating the best of the best version

Continue to grow.
And we do too.
Thank you.

This is absolutely stunning. The animations are so so so amazing. I've actually replayed this several times already lol.
I have to admit I had a big stupid grin on my face from 2:52 onwards. Just can't get over how good the sprites are done there.
Awesome job, bro. Well done! :)

Tbh it’s extremely impressive to see the amount of fan work that can amount from just ONE indie RPG. The music, the characters, the fights, the animations. Thank you for it all, Undertale community!

@gavinstout9988

Yeah ok beeswarm player 3300

@spaceflightsimulatorfan1040
