Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Welcome To My Life ❯ KARAOKE! W00T! ^.^ ( Chapter 3 )

BFK: Here we have the next chapter of Welcome to my Life, because no one'll review Changing History. Be spited. :P

Terra: Is it really good to spite your loyal reviewers?

BFK: Probably not, but they deserve it, darn them! They abandoned me!

Terra: …True.

BFK: Especially GCN-anima-dragon. I MISS YOUUUU! -sobs-

Terra: Ummm…-pats- It's okay… -sweatdrops- Right. While BFK is mourning her lost reviewers, I'll simply remnd you that the disclaimer was in the first chapter, update info can be found on her Xanga, blackfire_kitsune, and review responses can be found on her Xanga firefox214. Okay, on with this fic!

 

“Ooh, I wanna do that one!” Isun said, pointing to one of the songs in the selection. All of us Americans were gathered around the machine and picking our songs. “As long as I can do that one.” I said. Isun nodded. “Fair.” She agreed. The three “guests” were staring at us like we were insane-which they had every right to. We are. Anyway, I managed to get first spot, and began to sing Simple Plan's “Welcome to my Life.” For me, that song holds quite a bit of meaning, actually…

 

“Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you?
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around,
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding?

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like,

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life…”

I stepped offstage, to the admiring cheers of the three “guests” out of anime. “Thank you, thank you!” I bowed, laughing.

 

 

Odd time for a POV Shift, but eh. Malik's POV

 

I couldn't help but be surprised at the fact that just about any of us-myself, Yugi, or Bakura, could have done that song with ease, and yet this girl, who seems so happy, did it as if she had felt the pain the song involved… Weird. I doubt I'll ever understand her OR her friends. Just then, the Iranian girl, Isun, took the stage, choosing a different song. The screen behind her announced it was “I'm Just A Kid,” and, like Terra's, was done by Simple Plan.

 

“I woke up it was 7
I waited til 11
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think I've got alot of friends
But I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone
When you're spending every day on your own
And here it goes

I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me

And maybe when the night is dead
I'll crawl into my bed staring at these 4 walls again
I'll try to think about the last time I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go & they're gonna leave me here on my own
And here it goes

I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me

What the fuck is wrong with me
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored & I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever

I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid

I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world

I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me tonight
I'm all alone tonight
Nobody cares tonight
Cuz I'm just a kid tonight.”

 

Apparently, these girls liked “darker” music. I couldn't help but notice Isun's excellent voice, or her all-around attractiveness…Waitasecond. I did NOT just think that about a girl. Dear Ra, I'm not even in my own realm! I shook my head at the thoughts, as another one of Terra's friends, the boy Josh, made his way onstage. His song was “In the End” by Linkin Park

 

“It starts with
one thing

I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme
to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
Its so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on/But didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch it go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing

I don't know why
Doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme
To remind myself How
I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was a part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought w/ me/I'm surprised
It got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried

it all fell apart
What it meant to me

will eventually be a memory

of a time when I

Tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing u should know

I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
for all this
there's only one thing u should know

I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
and lose it all
But in the end
it doesn't even matter…”

 

I smirked-he was good. I'd probably have to do something by that band-or maybe Simple Plan. From what Terra had told me, a good third choice would be Green Day. While I pondered song issues, the fourth person took her turn…

 

Yet ANOTHER Odd/Random POV Shift. Terra's POV

 

It was about time Lexi took her turn as she skittered onstage. I sighed. As predictable, she was singing a GrooveLily song- “Live Through This (Are We There Yet?).”

 

“You ask me are we there yet
This road is harder than before
We've got to grin and bear it
We're not in Kansas anymore

But if we can live through this
We get everything we wanted
If we can live through this
We will find a house less haunted
If we can live through this
We will never feel so daunted
If we can live through

This used to be a party
This used to be like Sunday school
Those days are over darling
They crashed the planes and changed the rules

But if we can live through this
If we can hold out a little longer
If we can live through this
Surely things can't go much wronger
If we can live through this
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
If we can live through this

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?

We've all been suicidal
We've all been laid low with regret
We can't just sit here idle
We're not quite six feet under yet

But if we can live through this
We will come out into the sunshine
If we can live through this
We will be of one heart and one mind
If we can live through this
Maybe we'll get the cosmic punchline
If we can live through this

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”

 

Lexi bowed, stepping offstage. Josh had a starry-eyed face. “She's the best…” He said dreamily. I rolled my eyes, and together, all of us (minus Josh, Lexi, and the “visitors”) said at the same time, “Aren't you just a teeny bit biased?” And then we all went into a fit of laughter. Yugi (standing beside me) gave me an odd look. “Inside joke. We have a few of those.” I told him, shrugging. He nodded. “Ah.”

 

“A FEW?” Jake asked, an eyebrow going up. “Don't lie to `em. We have a TON.”

 

“We do, don't we?” I asked, sighing. And then I shrugged. “Eh, `tevah. On with the
karaoke.” I said. “And it's your turn, short, light and evil.” I pushed Eddie forward, turning to Yugi. “No offense meant.”

 

“None taken.” The deep voice of Yami Yugi (or Pharaoh Atemu. I noted the need to hide my Yu-Gi-Oh manga) told me who was in control.

 

“But seriously, his screen name is Evil Midget for a reason.” I said.

 

“I have to believe it.” The ancient Pharaoh said, sighing. Jake was singing “Crawling” by Linkin Park, and I couldn't help but hum along.

 

“Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,
Consuming, confusing,
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending, controlling,
I can't seem, to find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence I'm convinced
There'sjust too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls areclosing in
(without a sense of confidence I'm convinced
That there'sjust too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

(there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming,) confusing what is real

(this lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling,) confusing what is real…”

“Well, now. That was cool. Okay, Em, you're up!” I smiled, pushing Emily to the stage. I knew what she was going to sing though. And I was right. She sang Hilary Duff's “Fly.”

“In a moment
Everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulders
For a minute
All the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday

Can ya hear it calling?
Can ya feel it in your soul?
Can ya trust this longing?
And take control

Fly
Open up the part of you
that wants to hide away?
You can shine
Forget about the reasons
why you can't in life
and start to try
Cause its your time
Time to fly

All your worries
leave them somewhere else
Find the dream you can follow
reach for something
When theres nothing left
And the world is feeling hollow

can ya hear it calling?
Can ya feel it in yourself?
Can ya trust this longing?
And take control
Fly
Open up the part of you
that wants to hide away

You can shine
Forget about the reasons
why you can't in life
and start to try
Cause its your time
Time to fly

And when you're down
and feel alone
Just wanna run away
Trust yourself and
don't give up
You know you better
than anyone else

In a moment
everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulders
For a minute
all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday

Fly
Open of the part of you
That wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons
Why you can't in life(can't in life)
and start to try (start to try)
Fly
Forget about the resons
why you can't in life (can't in light)
and start to try (start to try)
Its your time
time to fly

In a moment
everything can change…”

I smiled brightly. I had always loved that song. It was so… upbeat. And thus, karaoke proceeded, with me going up for another turn because none of the visitors had decided to. “I call behind These Hazel Eyes!” I said shooting up.

“Saving Since U Been Gone for the fans?” Isun asked. I nodded. “Of course!” and thus, I began the song.

“Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes!”

Isun shoved up next, beginning Green Day's “Holiday.”

“Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon plague (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who die without a name

There's a song sounding out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!)
A plead, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

There's a drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
The line, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen (Amen)
There's a rag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday


"The representative from California has the floor"

Seek out to the president gasbag
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel tower
and criticize the government
Bang bang goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Triumph by fires, sinning buyers
I found a way that's meant for me
Check out
Check out the end of holiday

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday!”

Just then, the manager peeked in. “Uh, Terra, could you cut the session short? Your fans wish for your presence.” I sighed.

“And the fans cannot be disappointed.” I said, and then, gathering all my enthusiasm, punched the air and took off after the manager. I could hear Malik ask, “What fans?” and Isun replying with, “You'll see!” The manager dragged me around to the back o the club and I went through the purty red curtains to the open mic stage. “Hello, all my lovely fans! I see some familiar faces, and some new ones. Welcome, fresh meat.” Snickers from the crowd. They were used to my sense of humor. “Okies, I decided to do all-request tonight, for you all seem to love it to death.” More laughter. “Okay, requests open! You know my rules-no rap, but anything else goes.” A shout from the back of the crowd. “Redneck Woman!”

 

I laughed. “Right away!” I called back, excited.

 

“Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type
No, I can't swig that sweet champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

'Cause I'm a redneck woman an' I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'I say 'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah

Victoria's Secret, well there stuff's real nice
But I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy, just as sexy as those models on TV
I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me

Well, you might think I'm trashy, a little too hard core
But in my neck of the woods, I'm just the girl next door

Hey, I'm a redneck woman an' I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin' I say 'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sister's out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah

I'm a redneck woman an' I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin' I say 'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every ol' Bocephus song
So here's to all my sister's out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Hell yeah
I said hell yeah!”

 

Nearly every girl in the crowd was screaming along with the song. The energy was already flowing, and it was just the first song! The show proceeded as such every time I did requests, shouted requests for various songs and me performing them. Someone called out, “Fall Into Me!” and I snatched up my mic. “Sure!”

 

“Right here waiting
staying strong come
and fall into me

You say you turned it off
Hid your heart up on a shelf
Scared of what it might cost
To Take it down for someone else
In loving her you lost
To much of yourself
Baby can't you see
That she's not me

And I need you
To know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open
And will always be
Right here waiting
Staying
Strong come and fall into me

I'll follow any road
Anywhere to get to you
I'll open up my soul
If that's what you need me to do
Now baby its your move all you got to do
Is believe in love
Just believe in us

i need you
To know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open
And will Always Be
Right here waiting
Staying
Strong come and fall into me


Just believe in love
Just believe in us......BABY

I need you
To know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open
And will Always Be
Right here waiting
Staying
Strong come and fall into me


come and fall into me
Baby fall into me!”

Another one-“Never Had a Dream Come True!”

 

“Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you know

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
And so my road can never be `causeyesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
No no no no

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say (words to say)
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you…”

“Who I Am!” someone called out.

“Ooh, I like that one!” I called back, smiling.

“If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make a big mistake
And when I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowing
I will be just fine
Cause nothing changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser; I'm a winner
I am steady and unstable
I'm young, but I am able

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
That's who I am!”

Several more requests went by, including “American Idiot,” “American Soldier,” and “Courtesy of the Red, Whit, and Blue.” Then, the request I had been waiting for was asked for. “SINCE U BEEN GONE!”

“Here's the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since you've been gone

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah
Since you've been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you've been gone

How can I put it? you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah yeah
Since you've been gone

How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
Since you've been gone

You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

Since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get
I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get
I get what I want
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone!”

And a request that I enjoyed performing-“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day.

“I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there would find me
Till then I'll walk alone

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh
