Might change the thumbnail, but I haven't had a lot of time (or will) to draw, so still taken from @tobimisa 's lovely PV.
I'm not even going to take a real crack at who this Mysterious Rin might be. Could be Levia during the writing of the Second Period, could be broadly representative of a process a bunch of characters go through such that no single character sings it but it's thematically relevant (kinda like "Love Like You"), could be a bunch of things. But I know for sure it's Mai, now. To go with Clockwork Lullaby 1, of course.
--------------------------------------------------------
For the first time I understood just what the word ‘mother’ meant.
For the first time I memorized just how the word for ‘father’ went.
For the first time I understood just what the word for ‘wind’ meant.
For the first time I memorized just how the word for ‘water’ went.
For the first time I understood just what the word for ‘friend’ meant.
For the first time I memorized what the word ‘dream’ could represent.
About the time I memorized the word called ‘love’ I found
I came to learn the shape of the world around.
If, for instance, I wanted to tell you
what I'm feeling now,
which words would be most correct?
Which should I choose, why, and how?
If only to find an answer to this simple inquiry,
I'll continue on, so determined, with this wordplay, naturally.
For the first time I realized just what was meant by a ‘lie’.
For the first time I could repeat the word called ‘wound’ and wonder why.
For the first time I knew just what you had meant by the word ‘sin’,
committing to my memory the subsequent ‘retribution’.
Around the time I memorized the word ‘evil’ I found
the inner darkness of the world just compounds.
If I should want you to tell me the reason you left me all alone,
which words here would best apply?
Come up with them on your own.
If only to find an answer I don't want to know for sure,
I'll continue on with this wordplay for this day and many more.
If for instance I wanted to tell you what I'm feeling right now,
which words would be most correct?
Which should I choose, why, and how?
Hey, how are you, hi, good morning,
thank you so much, of course, goodbye.
I'll continue on, so determined,
with this all this wordplay of mine.
I know that I will be here no matter what time or day.
Teach me the words I should say, and I'll listen just like always.

I absolutely loved this. Honestly my theory is that it's ultimately just a representation of the clockwork lullaby. Specifically speaking this is her during the second period/OSS which is why she recalls Tokyo, sin etc. She bases her personality on the things happening at the time. She is a personification of time itself. She could technically be called irregular. She shouldn't be allowed to interfere with events but she does like in re birthday where her song could resound to Allen. Anyways this cover was absolutely perfect as all ur covers are ❤

This feels nostalgic to me despite hearing this one a bit recently.. Good job on the music

More of the clockwork lullaby series! Do you plan to cover the rest of the series?

[@spontaneousglitterbees]

I'm hoping to do lyrics for all 14, eventually! I was a bit surprised how many I'd already done, so I may as well do the rest, I figure. I already have the next planned out ::D
