Creature
Black and White OST Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I walk alone in shame
No other feelings have any to gain
Stranded in hopelessness
The dark starts to creep on
I started this walk all alone
Now I don't feel alone anymore
There is something watching me
Is a spirit or an enemy?
Night creatures
Harvesting in the dark
They may have no bite and all bark
But it's enough to make anyone in shock
When they rip out your heart
You realize it's time to die
Night Creatures
As these things come after you
It's terrifying when you can even see their point of view
Night Creatures
Night Creatures
The fear rises within me
It makes me feel terrified to a degree
I can't even move
I'm scared to realize the truth
They may not be real
But it feels genuine in this ordeal
Shall I run and hide
Or face the music with pride
Night creatures
Harvesting in the dark
They may have no bite and all bark
But it's enough to make anyone in shock
When they rip out your heart
You realize it's time to die
Night Creatures
As these things come after you
It's terrifying when you can even see their point of view
Night Creatures
Night Creatures
I can't even try
To count all the creatures and the eyes
Staring at me
I run as they start to run
As I get inside and lock the door it's done
I live to surviving another hellish day
Until the come back tomorrow seeing me as prey
Night Creatures
Night Creatures
Night Creatures




Night Creatures
Night Creatures

@drunkdonkeydude

I remember just trying to get food for my town and this theme would start playing out of nowhere. Would scroll across the map to find my creature picking a fight with Lethys' out of nowhere. Go from peaceful gathering god to Instantly insatiable bloodlusting barbaric overlord.

@ladysynapsis9747

This was the funniest thing. Although I would get annoyed when my creature would pick a fight. Like dang I had you on the friendly leash
