Jester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Castles fall around my ears
Where is she now
I'm alone in my fears
And I'm crying out loud
Kingdoms fall down
There's nowhere to hide
I am trapped without you
Too scared to fight.........Without you
And I'll be here
In the ruins
Waiting for you
Come save me
Please hurry
It's getting cold
I'm lying here
I'm oh so scared
And where are you know
I'm not sure




I think Im dying
Lying here on the floor

Castles fall around my ears
I feel like everything is crumbling around me and I'm losing control


Where is she now
I am missing someone and wishing they were here with me


I'm alone in my fears
I feel isolated and vulnerable in my worries


And I'm crying out loud
I am expressing my emotions and hoping to be heard


Kingdoms fall down
Even the mightiest things can crumble and be destroyed


There's nowhere to hide
I feel exposed and unprotected


I am trapped without you
I feel stuck and helpless without the person I miss


Too scared to fight.........Without you
I lack the courage to face my fears without the support of the missing person


And I'll be here
I will remain in this difficult situation


In the ruins
Everything around me is destroyed


Waiting for you
I am holding onto hope that the person I miss will return


Come save me
I need help and support to get through this


Please hurry
I am desperate for assistance


It's getting cold
I am feeling physically uncomfortable and vulnerable


I'm lying here
I am unable to move or escape the situation


I'm oh so scared
I am afraid and overwhelmed


And where are you know
I am questioning why the person I miss is not here with me


I'm not sure
I am uncertain and confused


I think Im dying
I feel like I am struggling to survive


Lying here on the floor
I am physically and emotionally defeated

@Xellos Kaczor actions and repercussions themselves are not what determines a character's alignment, its the motivation and knowledge of said actions that do. While I agree that jester isn't good, she isn't evil. As you said, she didn't intend to tramatise people; she wanted to please her god that 'doesn't like her'. She didn't do it out of the benefit or harm of others; it was for herself. Jester is chaotic neutral.


Also who plays the DnD gods at the table? the DM of course. And how the judgement of said alignment is at DM's discretion, but the most fun way I've found for it is to look at the essence of the character by seeing their view of every action. Why did you save those kid? "for the money reward" (point for neutrality). while some actions like saving kids are associated for "doing good" the reason they did it was selfish. no matter how anyone else views their actions, what's important for alignment's sake is the why, not the what.


thinking of characters (PCs, NPCs, even enemies and villains) in this manner will make them interesting. You need this frame of mind to make interesting anti-villains or anti-heroes (some of my favorite types of characters). Like an anti-villain takes the oath of redemption for terrible things he did to protect/save a loved one, or the anti-hero(ine) that is a really greedy mercenary who only works as hard as you pay him/her and the morality of the action doesn't matter as long as they can dominate the people around them (the good guys happened to have more money this time), etc.


tl;dr Jester is Chaotic Neutral. The why of actions determine alignment, not the what.

I think what His Holiness is trying to convey is that he will be going on a spiritual journey... and there's only room on that train for one dude.
