General clarification on work content


** "I Knew You Once" is written as [[Characters/GenshinImpactMondstadt Diluc]]'s introspective on his broken relationship with his adoptive brother [[Characters/GenshinImpactMondstadt Kaeya]], reflecting on how Kaeya finally confessing his DarkSecret tore them apart.

The gentle, understated tone makes it even more heartwrenching as Diluc reflects on his own feelings of bitterness and betrayal, but also on how blind he must have been to never realize that Kaeya was suffering.
--> ''Out of the blue\\
[[WasItAllALie I never knew you]]\\
Oh, little brother, full of wiles\\
Sharp of tongue and twisted smiles\\
Staring down each other's blades\\
The rain washed my brother away\\''

** "Brother" is nothing short of tragic, considering it's from the perspective of Dabi, who's come to want revenge on his whole family, especially his younger brother, for a perceived slight. What really serves to shatter the heart is the last verse, in which, after seemingly trying to connect, he pulls a complete RedemptionRejection and says he [[TheSociopath doesn't care how much he hurts Shoto]], showing exactly how far he's fallen from the mentally unstable little boy who just wanted to please his father.

* EvilIsSexy:
** Part of the appeal of "The Red Means I Love You" is Buckley's soothing voice singing a ''lovely'' ballad... that also happens to be a disturbing {{Yandere}} rant. Makes sense, considering it's from the perspective of Himiko Toga, who's generally considered endearing by fans for her bloodlust.
** "Brother" evokes similar feelings due to its characterization of Dabi, already subject to extreme EvilIsSexy reactions in the source material, as a TragicVillain whose story is told through an upbeat country song.

** "Little Big Boy" is about Katsuki Bakugou, and displays him as deeply insecure despite his incredible arrogance. It uses the metaphor of a fish in water to describe his growing terror at the idea of being surpassed by those around him and how it's condemned him to a life of fear that he might not be the best in the world, chiding his arrogance and childishness with a pitying tone.
--> ''Well the water's rising\\
Tide's coming in\\
Does little big boy know how to swim?\\
[[AlwaysSomeoneBetter In a pond filled with fish bigger than him]]\\
Oh little big boy's [[BreakTheHaughty gonna see how little he really is]]''

* HeartwarmingMoments: Surprisingly enough, "Child of Ashes" serves as a sweet moment for All For One, telling a young Tomura Shigaraki that he will be safe with him and his fellow criminals. This goes double due to the fact it's OutdatedByCanon-- [[spoiler: The real All For One proved to not care for Tomura at all]], but Buckley's All For One very clearly wants to protect and comfort the boy.

* HeartwarmingMoments: SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** "Ambrosia Wine," despite its IntercourseWithYou emphasis, is genuinely sweet, showing Midnight as a caring woman who wants to use the natural beauty she was blessed with to help people and become an icon, even urging the listener to give into temptation and embrace her sexual nature.

* SignatureSong: "The Red Means I Love You" is Buckley's most famous song, reaching her top ten on Spotify in ''both'' releases (The original at #1 and the redone version at #8) and is often the one most spoken of among fans, being the first single from ''Sunset on Summerville'' and being famous for its LyricalDissonance nature, creepy tone, and the delightfully disturbing ode it serves as to [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaHimikoToga its protagonist]].

** "Child of Ashes" hits hard, considering it's about a young Tomura Shigaraki who's just [[spoiler: accidentally killed his own family]] and is completely alone in the world, without someone coming to save him despite all he's gone through.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** "Child of Ashes" certainly indicates All For One genuinely cares about Shigaraki, but the question of the protagonist is left in the air-- is it All For One himself, or the way Tomura ''views'' All For One, as a caring father figure? The brief nature of the song only leaves more mystery.
** Is the narrator of "Hawk in the Night" (Implied to be Hawks' mother) genuinely believing in MiseryBuildsCharacter and thinks she's helping her son grow by letting him be abused, or is she just trying to cover for herself by keeping him quiet and complacent? Is she genuinely proud of her son for being strong, seeing it as the result of the abuse he endured, or does she simply want to justify the abuse by pretending it's what made him a good man?
