LYRICS (Not my best lyrics, lol)
I see me behind the door, don't know what it is for
(Celestia, don't leave me)
Think my dreams have gone away, don't know just what to say
(King Sombra, don't deceive me)
I have tried as best I can, and I don't understand
(Celestia don't leave me)
Your voice told me I should go and that is all I know
(King Sombra, don't deceive me)
[Chorus]
My worst nightmare right in front of my eyes
And who knew that it was all a disguise
Somebody tell me this is a dream
A door to a world I never have seen
Losing faith with every stair I climb, I'm unaware
(Celestia don't leave me)
Can't help thinking that was real and not just how I feel
(King Sombra, don't deceive me)
I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter*
But it's too late for me to stay, I better save the day
(King Sombra, you will shatter!)
[Chorus]
*If you get this reference, you are cool.

[@serge155]

i remember being exhausted at the convention and not wanting to walk up another flight of stairs so i let out a sigh and the guy next to me said "i bet King Sombra built this place". made my day

[@MsCatfish4]

Wow, that would be a dream come true to go to the convention with everyone surrounding having the same obsession as myself

[@serge155]

Lpspawsome omg, its bucking awesome, everyone is exstatic from the high concentration of fun, its only $60, i STRONGLY recommend you go next year

[@MsCatfish4]

Nicholas Schubert can't, don't live in the U.S.A and wouldn't it bew weird for a pegasister to go and not a bronie?

[@serge155]

Lpspawsome well depending on where you live, there's bound to be a large pony convention somewhere, and also, there were still a large number of pegasisters at Bronycon, true, not as many as there were bronies, but there's still a large concentration of them

[@MsCatfish4]

Nicholas Schubert in sweden? i doubt it.

[@darklazer44]

I would love to see a fanfic like this, that twilight DID actually fail and celestia did cast her out

[@abbieabovethegrave]

yes, that would be interesting

[@yourlocaltubboxd5574]

Oh no......what have you done.....THE FANFICS ARE HERE AHHHHHHH-

[@ZentaBon]

It just doesn't fit her character though

[@danejordan221]

pro trick: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@bryantfinn5950]

@Dane Jordan Yea, I have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D

[@lulucantthinkofaname]

one word. nostalgia. i've definitely left a comment here before, i just don't remember it. almost 8 years. how time flies.

[@jacobfoxall5633]

Sombra: the loving king of stairs and the destroyer of your feet.

[@goldchris1111]

man i love this song, been listening to it for years. I just started reading the comics and man they really didnt give Sombra his due at all in the show. He's just a 1 dimensional evil pony but in the comics he's alot more complex and very intriguing. He might just be one of the best villains/heros along with discord (who also in the comics is alot more complex) and in the show they just brush him off every time he returns. I guess they just have more of a focus to flush out the characters in the comics because so far Discord and Sombra are amazing characters in them.

[@disboy_3518]

Comics no canon sucks

[@Bulbusaur4]

I remember when this song spoiled me this arc. I've never been spoil by a song again.

[@ay-machan4780]

Man, listening to this stuff is...weirdly nostalgic, even if I've never heard it before. MLP has really changed, and not all of them are in good ways. Wish they'd have 'friendship' more like empathy and love in the earlier seasons and not the preachy 'Friendship School' thing it is now. Students are great, the concept isn't. sorry, got off track

[@silentfilly4397]

Yeah... I came here again to listen this song, one of my favorites. And like you said, such a music fills you with nostalgia. By the way, I kinda lost interest on watching ALL MLP episodes since Princess Twilight and the Friendship School became a thing. Nothing bad with that, but I enjoyed the two first seasons more, and part of season three. However, some episodes after season three were kinda okay for me when I decided to give them a little chance. The show's finale was pretty good, I'm not gonna lie. At least fans got lots of interesting characters throughtout the entire show. :)

[@yeowuu]

I actually dislike Season 8 & 9 the most, specifically for this reason. I don't hate it, I just don't like it. Like, I understand where Twilight is coming from, but the way she easily drags her friends into this is a little selfish and too much. They got their own lives and jobs (like Applejack who runs the farm, Rarity with her boutique, Fluttershy with her animals, etc). The extra mile was unnecessary. I did enjoy the extra worldbuilding though.

[@Hiandbye95]

The OH!'s at the end of the chorus may just be my favorite part of any song in this fandom ever. They're so powerful. Great job!

[@Remoniq]

The funny hing about King Sombra is that the more you think about him, the more you understand how smart and powerful he really was. All ahail King Sombra!

[@maddierae6741]

"I tried to hard an got so far but in the end it doesn't matter" Sounds familiar

[@Flashpoint122]

So has anyone figured out what drug she mixes with her songs to make them this addictive?

[@MsCatfish4]

not yet, i'm studying it though.

[@1Notten]

Lpspawsome It's discovered, Infused with Cocaine. Or is it sugar... Have to check the results... again...

[@MsCatfish4]

1Notten well i'm addicted to sugar, not cocain so it's probably sugar.

[@hazoridsanchez7770]

I have no idea-medic

[@sonicthehedgehog0100]

Sass, sugar, and simplicity.

[@shadeventara8787]

ah. the door that shows one their greatest fear, while traping them in their own mind, unless someone is able to snap them out of the trance

[@gracenotme671]

"I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter" HOW HAVE I ONLY NOW NOTICED THIS???

[@jasper2118]

What's this referencing to? I can't understand.

[@gracenotme671]

jasper21 It's a lyric from "In The End" by Linkin Park

[@alexfrostbound4401]

That's awesome, I didn't even notice

[@theponywiththeorangebow4102]

I’m listening to all my fav mlp fandom songs again after years and awkwardmarina’s will always be my fav

[@ss-oy3lq]

rewatching mlp right now and boy does this bring back the times! this song is really good

[@SB-hr2mk]

God this song takes me back to the good old days of the fandom, BTW Have You Met This Pony Yet; was in my head all day yesterday XD. Funny thing was that I hadent hear it in over 4 years and yet it was just there in the back of my mind. God knows you can write one hell of a catchy tune hope the future will treat you well :3

[@bookmoth-d1q]

I really love this song, even all these years later.

[@squeakybelle3711]

this is now a decade old as of yesterday :O

[@BioniclesaurKing4t2]

Based on the name, I was expecting a song I knew redone to, "Knock, knock, knockin' on Sombra's Door..." But don't get me wrong, this was great.

[@OmynysFence]

That's what i thought also! Was not dissapointed, though.

[@unluckyfirefox931]

Master Riku No.

[@MsCatfish4]

Void Chaser SAME!!!!! but i like this type of nighmare

[@tigerheart3069]

My lord, I love you. XD That is about one of the BEST comments I've ever seen... You are a very amazing somebody.@-@

[@tigerheart3069]

Void Chaser All of you. :I ((Yes, all of you. XD I just purposely made it seem like to only a singular context. XD))

[@arthas640]

I love your music AkwardMarina! You're not as famous as some brony/pegasister musicians but you're still one of the greats :D

[@amberyurr427]

Cant stop listening to this

[@lunacae18]

*was singing along while reading desc* I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter* *If you get this reference, you are cool. "ooooh....for fucks sake"

[@playersam]

I just keep having this image of twilight running through a megaman-esque level. The sing has that kind of feel. I like it :D

[@ryanhunter6029]

GAH Its so hard to be a closet brony when you are trying to sing to this awesome music! I keep telling myself that what is going to make me be open about being a brony is less the show itself but the music this awesome fandom creates! It is so creative and varied and not one song is the same as another, its really awesome! GAHHH Its too dang hard to keep secret! I was playing this song all through school today and i couldnt help but softly sing along to it. VERY nicely done yet again!

[@balllallalllalllallalhqbal2798]

this was my childhood thank you for making it happen

[@Envirotech]

LOOOOVED seeing you perform this song at Bronycon last weekend. In my humble opinion you stole the show Friday. ^_^ Anthropology was a thrill to see you perform live, too!

[@oranmorton5053]

+AwkwardMarina You are amazing madam. Simply amazing.

[@ingamingpc1634]

+AwkwardMarina nice

[@00Jj262]

+Envirotech Where can I find that? If at all... It sounds like an amazing thing to see.

[@Envirotech]

+Darkoes1 Try here! watch?v=kk1ooW09_rY

[@00Jj262]

Envirotech OMG I LOVE YOU PERSON!

[@ItRemindMeOfHome]

This song sounds so familiar, probably why I like it so much And Lincoln Park, nice

[@rex3014]

I used to listen to this a lot in 2017, as well as other mlp fan songs

[@zulanova1209]

Only just found this, like, 7 years late

[@We1mann]

This sounds really promising, but my ears are horrible so I'm really anxious for the lyrics! :D Personally, I think your natural voice is really beautiful, but I'll admit the effect you use here does serve its purpose, particularly for this kind of electrical tune. Don't forget about your own resources, though. :)

[@morninghishjustice5643]

I really wish that the song was longer it's so enjoyable the beat the way it sounds it's just so cool

[@thewatcher509]

I have to agree with SylphStorm that almost /everything/ you make is so catchy and in a good way. I love your voice expressing both child-like wonder and yet also beautiful. I was found myself dumbfounded at how good this is.

[@MsCatfish4]

I like the way awkward marina is so modest of her work when it truly is amazing (like me but mine is ACTUALLY bad, and that is why I haven't posted any of my music on KZbin)

[@Erisiann]

It matters not if your music is bad, but that you put heart into it. The personality behind the song makes it great, not the skill. I'm not sure where I heard this, or, it may have been me who said it. Either way. The personality out weighs the skill. (Don't get me wrong skill helps, in my case, I know I suck.)

[@MsCatfish4]

Chaos i put all the heart i can possibly put in my music, but they turn out so bad that they're un- postable

[@Erisiann]

Then Practice. Or get advice.

[@MsCatfish4]

Chaos i practice all the time, but i don't wanna get advice i wanna do it all by my self so when it's done, and i get more views i can feel a hint of confidence

[@MsCatfish4]

Kenpatchi Ramasama i wanna do it myself, the less help i get, the more confidence i get.

[@pwetmo9655]

Truly awesome stuff - I love the vocal effects you used, not to mention the overall creativity that went behind the premise.

[@marcusm.305]

I swear I heard the can can song in there. That, or I drank too much hot sauce again. Honestly both have about the same probability of being true.

[@aishahshahid9266]

OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG! I listen to it every day and it never gets old.

[@milky4587]

9 old year me listening: "i tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesnt matter" amazing. spectacular. never before done. completely original. 15 year old me, relistening after 6 years: oh snap a linkin park reference. cool.

[@DustRaiser]

Haven't heard this in years, still a great song!

[@silent-voices]

Okay well I discovered this for the first time by some miracle, for once I am VERY happy with the KZbin algorithm

[@bellesAlbums]

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FOR 10 MINUTES FINALLY FOUND IT

[@taco10lex]

i found it in my youtube mix lol

[@mitawishance]

This is a really awesome song! (And thank you for thinking I'm cool.) I have to say that I enjoy how the light sound is mixed with such sadness. The words fit so well in every way with such passion lent within the meaning and the additional backdrop of sounds complemented by your own support lyrics. Those notes of, "Oh!" brings out the upbeat, lighter tone, while the, "Celestia don't leave me," returns to the melancholy meaning of the song.

[@Zergqueen377]

sweet, this song is really awesome. I've had a hard time finding good songs related to sombra. most are just pun and joke songs -.- Anyway! this is awesome! and your voice reminds me of Lyra for some reason xD

[@MinersLoveGames]

One of the first songs I heard when I joined this fandom back in 2014. Still going strong in 2018. :)

[@Y2kovu]

Entirely agreed with this sentiment. This is incredibly catchy, love the lyrics, love everything about it. Since it came up on Everfree, I've done what I can to prod it at pony-friendly contacts and the like, but this truly deserves more reception. Bravo indeed, and will be watching for more!

[@MoondustManwise]

Heh. Four years later, and I'm still listening to this. I wish she'd do a new cover of it.

[@tenebrisdumplin4583]

Personally, I like SylphStorms Metal remix better. It sound substantially darker and like king Sombra was lurking in the shadows of the song or something. I'm also a sucker for metal instrumentals and guitar solos.

[@TheVletHansen]

Really, the more I listen to this, the more I like it. I can't get over how "punchy" the beat feels...

[@panzer743]

This song is perfect! I LOVE IT! Its so nice to see that H8s impact on this fandom has made it this far. Btw when did he take his chanel down? But this song still was flaless, perfect. And ofcorse AWSOME!

[@hornedlilith]

If I don't hum/sing/listen to this for too long, I'll forget the tune and it will drive me crazy for the rest of the day.

[@pooka217]

Sombra's Door and Entropy playing together I like. I played Sombra's Door and Sombra's Door again and by luck got the lyric "oh" one after the other, wow!

Man, this brings back memmoriesss. Thank you for being one of my favorite songs back when I was.. what, 10? I remember I used to listen to this in the background while playing minecraft on my dad's computer. Old me had good taste, even after all this time.

[@mayotayo9736]

I felt like I heard this somewhere or is this beat really good.

[@mojothemagickcrafter7635]

I like the beat of it. And the vocals add nicely to it.

[@Pyrobug0]

H8 Seed-style techno crossed with 80's techno-pop vocals with a Linkin Park reference? Winning all the things.

[@babbitgoezboom]

I remember when I first heard this in 2013. I was shocked and honestly, it still wows me to this day.

[@fionasconstellation5372]

was that a Linkin Park reference I heard? 'I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter.' I bet somebody already pointed that out but I'm too big an LP nerd not to notice >-< I'm pretty sad like that... just started listening to your stuff today and I'm already a fan cause everything you do is so bloody catchy! ^o^ Keep up the awesome work!

[@IndieTimmie]

This is just me, idk if it would sound better, but when you sang the "celestia don't leave me" I felt like a short lasting "please" would have gone perfectly there, same kind of thing after sombra don't deceive me, but as I said, that's me, idk if it would sound good, great song though, great job. =)

[@SoudaStudios88]

Scrolling through my liked vids and found this. I loved this during my mlp phase, and still a hit. After my emo phase I heard the Linkin Park in there 😂

[@qwertykins76]

I actually like not having lyrics for the first day or so. It makes it a puzzle to understand and open to interpretation. Added to playlist. :p
