EJ Moir - Alone (Darklina Theme | Shadow & Bone Original Song | Alina & Aleksander Tribute)

I had a million other things to do yesterday but instead I smashed out a whole ass song for my Darklina heart 🖤🌘
I tried to do this alternating thing with the lyrics where it was the Darkling's POV for the verses and Alina's for the choruses but then I ended up having the bridge & final chorus be the Darkling's POV so just roll with the random perspectives
I think this turned into a game of 'how many book quotes can I cram into one song' but it was fun nevertheless, plus I had the books AND the tv show to draw from so inspiration was in abundance. I'm not blind to the problems in this ship but give me angst and villain/hero and light/dark soulmates over childhood-friends-to-lovers any day. I'm holding out hope for a Darklina endgame in the show since we were robbed in the books -- with Benny B captaining the ship I think we're in good hands 🤞
Let me know what you thought of the show/books (and the song, if you feel like it) in the comments!

-- Lyrics --
(V1)
Do they know what I showed you in the dark?
Do you still think ‘bout how we touched and the world fell apart?
When you see me in your dreams does it feel the same?
Do you call my name?
(V2)
You’ve called a monster, hunter, lover
Paint me a villain to deny yourself
Look in the mirror, you’ll see the truth you fear
Like calls to like
(Pre-chorus)
I could be merciful
And you
could be mine
(Chorus)
All I had is gone
I am lost
Where do I belong?
If I am the light
Why can I not shine
Through the dark
There’s no one like you
There never will be
You said welcome home
So I’d know
We are not alone
(V3)
I will strip away all that you love
Till you have no shelter but me
You and I are gonna change the world
Together we will be
(Pre-chorus)
I could be merciful
And you
could be mine
(Chorus)
All I had is gone
I am lost
Where do I belong?
If I am the light
Why can I not shine
Through the dark
There’s no one like you
There never will be
You said welcome home
So I’d know
We are not alone
Bridge:
I’ve seen what you truly are
I’ve never turned away
Two thrones on a dais
All you need do is say
The problem with wanting
Is that it makes us weak
But I don’t want you
I need you
So stay with me
(Final chorus)
There’s no one like us
There never will be
If you come back home
I will know
We are not alone
We are not alone
I am not alone
