Description

There once was a boy, a robotic boy
With a crank sticking out of his brain
He never performed with sadness or joy
He was just simply programmed to sing


So he sang
So he sang
So he sang
So he sang until the melody


With no one around this robot fell down
And the crank it broke off of his head
With the jar to his hard drive he felt all alive
The old robot he used to be dead


There was rage in his brain!
There was pain in his frame!
There was love, there was hunger and strife!
He felt lonely, rejected, at times disconnected!
No answer to the meaning of life!


So he sang
So he sang
So he sang
So he sang


"Lullaby Bye" - Dr. Steel



It's them, it's the goodest purest child who did not deserve all the shit they had to go through. I've grown super attached to The Hollow Knight/Pure Vessel and while I also wanna draw some wholesome stuff with them (cause they deserve all the hugs) I also had to make this. I've known about this song for years, in fact even wanted to draw something based on it for years, but I didn't have a proper idea until recently. I just cannot get over how sadly fitting this song is for Hollow, so I couldn't help but draw something inspired by it.


This game... I signed up for trashy circus mothman, instead I got feels. And I'm ok with it. X'D




P.S. Then there's the irony of the song ending with a transition to Sweet Dreams.

Is that the Sweet Dreams I'm thinking of?

The Eurythmics song, yeah. Tho I don't know why Dr. Steel decided to make the transition to it at the end of this song, not even a full transition, just a fade out in the end.

Eh, there's about a billion covers, had to google to even find out who the original composers were.

Probably. But this one is the right one.
