about

Inspired by Cinder/The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

It's basically about Cinder after she finds out who she really is.

lyrics

Running through space like comet in flight
A child of the moon who was hid by the night
I was just a princess
Hiding from my queen

I don’t remember a life lived before
Before I was changed and my head had a door
Now I’m just a robot
Hiding from the world

Tell me I am weak and I’ll stand up tall
Tell me to leave and I’ll stay through it all
I am the moon in its majesty
I am the sun and I harbor its heat
And soon you will run from me,
Princess Selene

Wires upon wires, run through my skin
Silver and gold hides the mess from within
I am just a robot
Hiding from myself

No body cares and no body believes
I’m still a girl and I still have dreams
I am more than a robot
I’m done with hiding out

I’m more than this body
I’m more than this steel
I’m more that a girl that
Needs time to heal

And now I embrace
The forgotten face
And now I can see
Who I am

Child of the moon it’s time to go home
Back to the place that’s calling your soul
You should be the queen
