some of my favorite starkid lyrics

these are SOME, if i were to include every lyrics i'd end up including every single song in the canon
yes, i probably forgot some super iconic ones (i always forget iconic moments) so please call me out gently
i apologize for some of those disgustingly rough jumpcuts between clips. it was fine until i exported it; imovie has been a real ass to me lately sigh
all clips (and the one square foot of empty space that is my brain) belong to starkid

[@meganhash7840]

Starkid: "But if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell, are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well? Starkid in the exact same show: "HE F*CKED A TIGEEEEER"

Abby Van Keer it’s a lyrical masterpiece

[@abbyvankeer8555]

pas x Very True

[@SackvilleSells]

From a pure writing standpoint, I revere the lyrics "But something in my heart, some secret, hidden part illogically insists that you are there, somewhere". It's a lyric worthy of a Disney masterpiece. In fact, if "I Believe" was in a Disney movie, I swear that song would have had as much airplay as "Let It Go".

[@TheJuliana0901]

i love the Starship lyrics but ALSO my fave has got to be "and it doesn't even matter that I killed my best friend" mashed with "it gets me high to show you the horror of staying alive" in Torture Tango (spies are forever)

[@404kasha]

YES! That overlap kills me every time!

[@rowan4684]

Oh if we're talking SAF lyrics, I will never not love "I liked you better when you were dead"

[@AdrienneStarborn]

PERFECT ENDING!!!! If I were to add any lines they would be: 1.) Any line from Sidekick from AVPSY 2.) "Now you get to go to Hogwarts. Now you get to go to school. Now that you get to go to Hogwarts. I hope you find that swimming pool 3.) I know it's not technically Starkid but "So long. Farewell. Auf Wiedershen. Adieu. Goodbye" from Spies Are Forever 4.) "Pigfarts Pigfarts here i come. Hogwarts Pigfarts yum yum yum" 5.) "Its like my eyes have been transfigured. Something deep inside has changed. They've been opened wide but hold that trigger. This could be danger" 6.) And of course the iconic Moana song from THE DIM I have loads more but these are definitely in the top!

[@CV-Moore]

"I want the moon. I want to live on the moon. And eat it in a pie. And have it as a pet. And wear it as a gemstone in my hair." (Everything and More from Twisted) "I'll break the chain. You'll see. I'm gonna live forever." (Orphaned at 33 from Twisted) "Am I crazy? Maybe I've always been." (Let It Out from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals) "Always dance. Though they try to stop you always dance." (Always Dance from A Very Potter Senior Year) Any of Robin's lines in the finale of Holy Musical B@man.

[@rjnator2353]

My favorites are “though the road ahead may twist, but I will never swerve, I’ll give them all the unsung antihero they deserve, I’ve nothing left to lose, so the only path to choose is twisted. Let them twist my words, let the people scorn me, who cares if no one will ever mourn me, let them bury the side of the story they’ll never learn. Let the truth be twisted, let my life be twisted!” This part of the song Twisted is so awesome and powerful

Great video!!!!! Here’s my contribution - what if did something more than what my people bargain for I’ll reinvent the human race and shove it jemilla’s face - who cares about normal I’ll never conform I’ll be content to resent the status quo - if you’re preoccupied with what’s on the outside you’ll get lost with how it may seem. But open your eyes and you’ll be surprised to find out how much more something different can mean - anything from granger danger really - anything from when the world’s at stake - but when I think of how I feel for you and the love I have inside I forget all about all the things I’m not and my heart fills up with pride There’s more but in no way I want to discredit you for your video, it is actually very good!
