After a few minutes of discussing what the songs meant….well except for Miracle, as anyone who tried bringing it up would get a death glare from Erza….anyway, everyone sat back down and Gray got up and started to look through the songs before finding one.
"Huh, found one called Undefeated, lets see what the description says." He looks at the description "It says 'I'm undefeated in fighting and unstoppable for the love of the fight. Also undefeated in beating enemies. They might beat me at first, but I ultimately win in the end' I mean….he's got a point there." Everyone nodded when they thought about it, Natsu might lose at first, but he comes back stronger and will not back down until the enemy or person is defeated. Gray put it in and pressed play.
I'm undefeated
Hands on my neck, foot on my back
Closing in from every side
Bleeding me dry, I'm fading fast
They all winced when they thought about it, it has happened a lot to Natsu, but luckily he's never truly died.
Left for dead but I will rise up on my own
I could make it alone, I got all that I need to survive
(All that I need to survive)
Through the sweat and the blood, I know what I'm made of
It's the hunger that keeps me alive
This time, I'm coming like a hurricane, this time
"He is a fucking hurricane when comes to fighting with a second wind." Gajeel growled out, hating to admit that Natsu was better than him in that way….slightly better anyway.
I came to fight for the love of the game, unstoppable
That's why I, I'm undefeated
Off the leash, out of the cage, an animal
That's why I, I'm undefeated
I, I, I know I can beat it
Won't give up cause I believe it
Fight for the love of the game, unstoppable
That's why I, I'm undefeated
"He is rather like an animal when he's first fighting an opponent. Like he's holding back and has put the dragon in him in the cage, but once he see's what he's up against, he lets it out and becomes the animal with-in himself. I'm so glad he hasn't done that to me when we fight." Erza said with a small shutter.
Here at the edge losing my ground
Stare into the great divide
Pushing me over, pulling me down
Well….that has happened at times. Everyone thought to themselves.
Almost dead, but I will rise up on my own
No, I'm never alone and it's all that I need to survive
(All that I need to survive)
Through the sweat and the blood, if I fall, I'll get up
It's the hunger that keeps me alive
This time, I'm coming like a hurricane, this time
I came to fight for the love of the game, unstoppable
That's why I, I'm undefeated
Off the leash, out of the cage, an animal
That's why I, I'm undefeated
I, I, I know I can beat it
Won't give up cause I believe it
Fight for the love of the game, unstoppable
That's why I, I'm undefeated
All the strength that I have, all the life that's left me
I will give every breath to be everything I can be
I, I, I'm undefeated
I, I, I'm undefeated
He has a good point, he gives every single breath to be what he is. Maybe I should stop beating him up when he pisses me off… Erza thought to herself
I came to fight for the love of the game, unstoppable
That's why I, I'm undefeated
Off the leash, out of the cage, an animal
That's why I, I'm undefeated
I, I, I know I can beat it
Won't give up cause I believe it
Fight for the love of the game, unstoppable
That's why I, I'm undefeated
That's why I, I'm undefeated
"Well, at least we know it was about how he's basically undefeated in the fighting aspect of life. Though he's easily defeated in anything that isn't fighting. Who's next to pick a song?" Mira asked before Laxus shrugged and got up.
"Maybe I can ask him if I can borrow a few songs for me to listen to. He's good at making them." He says as he looks through the bag before finding one. "Huh….Drink sounds like a Cana song. It says 'Eh, something I thought Cana would enjoy. Though the pirate voice is just for the song and for fun.' Ah, so the song is for our local drunk." He rolls his eyes as he puts it in and sat back down. Cana had perked up at the mention of the song's name and looked happy at the name.
Oy you, gimme some beer
Piracy's a crime and crime doesn't pay
And we go home poor at the end of the day
But I'd rather live my life in rags
Than be chained to a desk with a wife that's a hag
They all raised an eyebrow at that line but looked amused nonetheless while Cana seemed to be rocking out.
We live each day like there's nothing to lose
But a man has needs and that need is booze
They say all the best things in life are free
So give all your beer and your rum to me
Cana looked happy about the lyrics and started to drink along with it while the others just rolled their eyes.
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
Cause we are here to drink your beer
Drink drink drink drink drink
Drink drink drink drink drink
Drink drink drink drink drink
We've sailed over seas for Wenches and Mead
And told great tales of the Huntmaster's deed's
The quest for a drop of the Famous ol' Spiced
Has shown us the wrath of Leviathan's bites
Most looked confused as to what this all meant before remembering that it was just to be a song for goofiness instead of making sense.
We went back through time to get more rum
Though we end up shipwrecked having no fun
But heavy metal pirates we must be
So give all your beer and your rum to me
We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
Cause we are here to drink your beer
Drink drink drink drink
Drink drink drink drink
They all just rolled their eyes at the song an wondered why he made it, meanwhile Cana was cheering for the song and looking happy about it. Levy got up and started to look for a song.
"Hmm….I doubt Natsu has anything that would be intelligent or meaningful." She mumbles to herself before finding one. "Found one called Battle Scars an the description says 'We all have scars from battle. This is to help you all.' I take back what I said then." She mumbles as she plays it.
This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten,
The lost, the broke, the defeated
A song for the heartsick, for the standbys,
Living life in the shadow of a goodbye
They all smiled a little when they heard that, as they were all that at some point.
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?
We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side
You're stuck on the ground,
Got lost, can't be found
Just remember that you're still alive
They all nodded and a few gave each other hugs to comfort each other.
I'll carry you home
No, you're not alone
Keep marching on
This is worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
You've had enough,
But just don't give up
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
Keep marching on
It's what we do all time in battle. We keep marching on, no matter how much pain we're in. Everyone here is worth fighting for, including Lucy, though it took her a little bit to figure that out. Erza and Gray thought to themselves
This is a call to the soldiers, the fighters
The young, the innocent, and righteous
We've got a little room to grow
Better days are near,
Hope is so much stronger than fear
I truly is. Makarov thought to himself as he listened.
So if you jump, kid, don't be scared to fall
We'll be kings and queens in this dream, all for one, one for all.
You can light up the dark,
There's a fire in your heart,
Burning brighter than ever before
Lucy's fire was always there, but it was always dim until Natsu made it burn brighter. He makes everyone's fire burn brighter with how he is. Makarov thought with a grin.
I'll carry you home
No, you're not alone
Keep marching on
This is worth fighting fore
You know we've all got battle scars
You've had enough
But just don't give up
Stick to your guns
You are worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
Keep marching on
On and on, like we're living a broken record
Hope is strong, but misery's a little quicker
Sit, and we wait, and we drown there,
Thinking, "Why bother playing when it's unfair?"
Everyone paused as they listened to his sudden quick talking/rapping, slightly shocked that he was able to switch from singing to rapping in a quick way.
They say life's a waste, I say they lack belief
They tell me luck will travel, I tell 'em that's why I've got feet
Left, right, left, right,
Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat.
Everyone nodded as they listened, agreeing with him.
This could be the last chance you have to fly
Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by?
Man, you had it all when you were just a kid.
Do you even remember who you were back then?
He's got a point. We're all different from when we were kids. Well….most of us anyway. Erza thought to herself.
What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong?
What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on?
Don't stop, march on.
I'll carry you home
No, you're not alone
Keep marching on
This is worth fighting for
You know we've all battle scars
You've had enough
But just don't give up
Stick to your guns
You are worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
Keep marching on
Keep marching on.
"Damn, that was inspirational. Who knew he could do that?" Laxus chuckled a little.
"Who do what?" A new voice came from the doorway and they all turned to see Sting, Rogue, Yukino, Lector and Frosch.
"Oh hey, what are you guys doing here?" Mira ask, slightly confused but happy to see some friends.
"Oh, we just decided to visit you all. See what's up." Yukino walked over to the bar and saw the duffle bag. "Huh? What's this?" She looked in it confused.
"That's Natsu's duffle bag, with songs he created and sung. We've been listening to them." The white haired demon mage explained.
"Natsu? Sing?" Sting look confused and amused at the fact that someone like Natsu could sing.
"Also play the instruments we hear in the songs. He's really good." Erza said, smirking slightly.
"Tch, this I gotta hear. Yukino, pick a song and play it." Sting said in disbelief. Sure Natsu might be his idol and all, but how could he sing and play instruments? He never showed any of the talent for that stuff.
"Ok….I found one called Fight Till I Fall, it sounds good."
"Read the back. They've all had descriptions on it."
"Oh, ok. It says 'Just a song about not being afraid to die during a fight. Fighting till your last breath or until you fall. In the final battle, only the strong will survive.' Sounds…accurate…kinda?" Yukino said slightly unsure of what to think about it before putting it in.
Can you hear the battle cry
Screaming for you, dead or alive
Ready or not now, come on lets go
Welcome to the front line
Rise above or end up alone
Can't be afraid to die
Only the strong will survive
Well…he's kinda got a point…I guess? Laxus thought unsure of the lyrics.
This is a fight to the finish now
Nowhere to run, there's no way out
Nothing to lose when you've lost it all
To the death I will fight till I fall
"Well…I feel like that will happen with Natsu at some point." Happy said with a sigh as he munched on some fish.
No choice left but to face the fire
No sympathy for the weak or the tired
Ready to not now the time has come
Welcome to the nightmare
The agony has only just begun
Don't dare deny you're scared
Only the strong will survive
They all listened as the song played the chorus a few more times before it stopped and they all were slightly confused about what the song meant. Why did he mean 'No sympathy for the weak or the tired' and 'Only the strong will survive'? They all kept thinking about it for a few minutes before trying to find a new song to listen to.
