Tyler Shaw's ability to write music can translate into some pretty scary stuff, you know...
- "Shadows". There's something terrifying about Discord going through a Yank the Dog's Chain-Heel–Face Revolving Door... Thankfully, From All Sides, the next track, subverts it.
- The song itself sounds like something out of Silent Hills and overall feels like he's turning insane. It also fits Doctor Stein too well.
- "Spirit of Chaos". This proves that Aviators can infuse pure, undiluted, TERROR into a badass song. His inspiration would be proud, and having Discord's laughter at one point does NOT help.
- "Monster". He and Omnipony can turn All Love Is Unrequited into something truly scary. Wanna know what's it about? Well... Discord discovers that Princess Celestia, his one and only love, does not love him back, and he becomes the very monster she thinks she is. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.
- "One Last Letter". It comes with the genre, even if it IS infused with Electronic Music. Balloon Party's second album "After Party" includes a VIP Mix, which in turn infuses the song with Dubstep, and then there's the video's opening narration... On the video, the words "CHAOS IS RISING" show up with a very dissonant Scare Chord after the song proper ends. Discord's won, all right...
- "Her Darker Side". Beware the Nice Ones indeed: The song details Twilight Sparkle's Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and causing a complete and total apocalypse.
- At first, The Far Side
seems to be a song about transcending mortality. Then you read the description, and realize that it's actually about a spirit luring people to their death. Those lyrics suddenly take a far more sinister turn, and you almost fell for it.Tell me all your secrets
I could be your key to the afterlife
Feel the rhythm in my cold heart
I could make your soul a work of art - "Dreams of the Deep" as an album has it's title track based in an already nightmare fluey source but "Wall of Sleep" takes it to the next level, with talking about horrors manifesting from your very dreams.
- "My Church" is the earliest song in the Bleeding Sun universe, and is about an influential cult leader who predicts the end of the world and calls his flock to follow him, as only he can lead them to a new kingdom after the coming war. The cult leader will one day become the Elder, the Big Bad of the entire setting, making the song all the more chilling.
- "When Our Bodies Wash Ashore" is a Bloodborne-inspired song about a fisherman losing his mind and heart to an eldritch sea goddess, with the art in the video showing screaming skeletal faces in the mist.My own senses wash away
I've let go of my eyes
Grant me life beyond the veil
For this humble sacrifice
You're the next to float along
As we all grow insane
Let the dream pull you below
No more watchers will remain - "Sweet Dreams" is a song from the perspective of Nightmare Fredbear, acting as a twisted opposite of the Crying Child's Fredbear plush beckoning him to let him inside under the promise that whatever pain the child goes through in his nightmares... He'll give the child the power to be so much worse.
