Description I'm wide awake (x3)
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong

I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

(Chorus)
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself - nooohooo

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Outta the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end

(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

(Chorus)
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm Falling from cloud 9

Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
I'm not blind anymore

(Chorus)
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
(Ya' know) I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake (x5)

Well! Here's another song inspired piece of art! And this time it's *drumroll* Cloudedstar!
I felt that I always drew Milkpaw and/Birchpaw and that they're usually the focus of art for . So I decided that I should draw more art revolving around the other main characters/slight background characters.

So, the song Wide Awake by Katy Perry inspired me to draw Cloudedstar. For some reason, while I listened to this song, it reminded me of Cloudedstar and Badgernight's rough breakup and how she's still slightly in love with him. Also the trials she faced during the aftermath of their relationship. Cloudedstar had to go through shock and worry once she found out about being pregnant and had to go through giving birth in secret and having to give up her kits. Though her two kits are still in the Clan, they have to grow up without knowing who their parents are. Cloudedstar also had to experience complications during the birthing and lost a life (and a lot of blood). To the Clan, she has recovered from her 'illness' but is still regaining her strength.

All in all, I think that this picture is depicting Cloudedstar's 'fall' from her perfect fantasy of having a family and mate of her own. However, Cloudedstar is a strong leader and she-cat. She won't crumble underneath all of this.


Tell me what you think of this! Any feedback is appreciated!

Also, comment on who you'd like to see next and I'll find a song to suit them and submit it!

Well you don't want a character with the happiest backstory ever. Everyone needs flaws to be perfect. Does that make sense?

ShadowNightMist In reply to Eeeviee [2013-02-17 08:39:30 +0000 UTC]

If a character had the happiest backstory ever, that wouldn't be a character anymore.XD

Yes. It makes perfect sense. Without flaws, people wouldn't be people.

She and no, she's not. I was planning on writing a separate story for her that delves into her past once I finish the main story so it'll kind of be like a super edition. But I'll just have to see if this'll push through depending on how busy I am.

But a little of her past is that she used to be a rogue before training as an apprentice and later becoming leader.
