With Poise; With Anger
HeyLasFas! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To claim that it’s not all your fault proves your problems lie within.
All I hear from you are excuses.
Luna, can’t you see it’s not…
All based on how much we…
Owe you?
You think “Royal” is just a name.
I’m telling you it’s not some game.
With poise, with anger!
Your role enveloped you.
What more else can I do?
There’s no use helping you.
Now, take a look at what you’ve done. Do you truly think it’s right?
Out there, ruining my day; now, who would care for night?
All I hear from you are excuses.
Luna, can’t you see it’s not…
Their fault for their actions?
It’s you.
With poise, with anger!
To think I spent all this time
Teaching you how to toe the line.
With poise, with anger!
It’ll soon be over now.
Don’t bother going out.
‘Cause they’ll just tear you down.
And so it was…
No matter what Luna did.
She always felt she wasn’t appreciated.
For every good thing she’d ever do for the public
There was always something that went terribly wrong.
Regardless if it was truly her fault.
So, she arrived at a difficult decision
Stay here, and continue taking the abuse from all
Or retreat and leave her citizens behind.
She made the decision to run.
How could anyone, god or mortal, handle this much neglect?
I guess I'm not worth your time, your absence makes this clear.
To think that you had anyone who ever hold you dear...
All I heard from you were excuses.
Luna, don’t you see it’s not…
All based on how much we owe you?
Tried so hard to build lies? It’s true.
Just to craft your opus in blue.
TO THINK I HAD EVER TRUSTED YOU!
DAMN YOU!
With poise, with anger!
You thought “Royal” was just a name.
I’m here to tell you it’s not some game.
With poise, with anger!
I can’t take your recklessness
Just leave me here to start over.
With poise! With Anger!
I watched you sit upon my throne
When truly you need time alone.
With poise! With Anger!
You left me without doubt.
I guess I’ll go without…
I’ll be taking… over… now.
The song "With Poise; With Anger" by HeyLasFas! is about Luna, a character who is constantly making excuses for her mistakes instead of taking responsibility. The song begins with a question about where to start and emphasizes that Luna's problems are her own fault. All she does is make excuses, but the singer is frustrated at her behavior because they know it's not based on anyone owing her anything.
The chorus of the song, "With poise, with anger!" is a call to action, a reminder to Luna that being a royal and having the name does not make it all a game. The singer is reprimanding her for her recklessness and urging her to take responsibility. The song also touches on the topic of neglect and how neglect can take a toll on a person's self-esteem, causing them to feel unappreciated despite their best efforts. In the end, Luna runs away from her problems, leaving her people behind.
The song is an emotional roller coaster, with the singer expressing anger, frustration, and disappointment throughout. It is a cautionary tale about taking responsibility for one's actions and how neglect can have long-term effects on a person's mental health.
