I do not own Animorphs, or the song "How you remind me." Although I'd like to very much…
How Your Remind Me
A red tailed hawk is perched on a tree, on a dark night. The hawk closes his eyes, in an almost contemplative way.
Never made it as a wise man.
A human Tobias sits in the back of a classroom, too shy to raise his hand.
Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing.
A human Tobias steals food from a dumpster, starving.
And this is how you remind me of what I really am.
A hawk Tobias sits on Rachael's floor, looking at the picture of his human self.
It's not like you to say sorry,
A young human Tobias looks at his passed out uncle on the couch.
I was waiting on a different story.
A human Tobias looking in awe at his father, Elfangor.
This time I'm mistaken,
Tobias, caught up in Dude's instincts during his first morph.
Who knew I had a heart worth breaking?
The hawk opens his eyes, and stares at the urn at the base of his tree.
I've been wrong. I've been down to the bottom of every bottle.
Tobias realizing for the first time he is trapped as a hawk.
They've put words in my head,
Tobias listening to Elfangor's thought-speak.
Asking "Are we having fun yet?"
A bald eagle and red tailed hawk rip through the clouds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tobias flying high on the thermals.
No no.
Tobias watching the owls hunt.
It must not have been so bad,
Tobias diving into a forest.
I said I love you and I still do.
Rachael's ghost, invisible to Tobias appears, and watches the hawk in the trees.
It must have been so bad,
Tobias runs from a peregrine falcon.
'Cause living with him must have damn near killed you.
Tobias looks at uncle, downing a beer on the couch.
And this is how you remind me of what I really am.
Tobias, caught up in the dinosaur instincts, his deadly jaws inches from Rachael's bear face.
It's not like you to say sorry,
Tobias yelling at Jake, demanding an explanation for sending Rachael to the Blade ship.
I was waiting on a different story.
Tobias leaving, flying away from his meadow.
This time I'm mistaken.
Tobias flying through the mall in a suicidal swoop.
Who knew I had a heart worth breaking?
Tobias dancing with Rachael, with one eye on the clock.
I've been wrong, I've been down to the bottom of every bottle.
Tobias, with a broken wing, looks up at the deadly raccoon.
They've put words in my head,
Tobias, in half-human, half hawk form, talking to the Ellimist.
Screaming "Are we having fun yet?"
Tobias and Rachael, eating McDonalds under his tree.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tobias and Rachael, flying through the sky.
No no.
Tobias falling in the glass cube, hitting the floor hard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tobias and Rachael sharing a private kiss that no one ever saw.
No no.
Tobias watching Rachael die.
Authors Note: I heard this song the other day, and thought, Who needs to be reminded of who he really is? I think my made up history fits character…if not, please don't flame. I don't do music vids, or song fics. But what do you think? Oh, and the reviewer who came name the books where the real history comes from will get much respect from me, and a guarantee that I'll review at least one of their works.
