ANIMATION Don't Close Your Eyes ANIMATION

Happy Friday the 13^th~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Oh, this animation was a real quickie, but it has so many inspirations that I have to mention.

First of all, this was in part inspired by *EC-DarkMatter’s lovely picture here, which I love so much ->

Also, the super driving force behind the whole thing was the ending of the song “Good To Be Alive” by Skillet (the band I am now hooked on thanks to the great ~LastShatteredStar aka Jeffy) The fact that the ending’s tone doesn’t match that of the entire rest of the song and that it is made to sound like a super dramatic choir just gives me tingles. You should listen to it to truly know what I’m speaking of -> youtu.be/1e0mYFYRhU4?t=4m1s , youtu.be/M_F4KFq7Beo?t=4m1s

And the lyrics are really what struck a chord.

“Despair, you come to me,

With your poison and your misery.

Oh death, you come to sting,

With your poison and your misery.

Death, death, death, death

Death surrounds me,

Singing to me softly. (Death)

Death the shadow spreads its wings around me.

In the night, close your eyes,

Calling me to come and-

This is how it feels when you’re bent and broken. *This is how it feels when your dignity’s stolen*

(Singing to me softly)

In the night, close your eyes,

Calling me to come and-

I can feel the shadow creeping in my mind. (Death, death)

Don’t close your eyes”

And obviously, last of all, it’s a celebration of Friday the 13^th, probably the best day of each year for me. XD Enjoy!
