【Lia】Writing On The Wall【Ver. Alhaitham】

RESPONSE SONG sung by:

Original: Will Stetson

--------------------
LYRICS:

You, adorned with crimson and gold
Toil at your desk every night
Not paying mind to what you’ve been told
“You try to do ‘right’, it’s futile.”

You’re always on edge and you strive for perfection with
Planning and measuring every detail
I watch you draw, erase, draw and then black out again

And you never admit wanting fame or attention
You only work hard so your structures won’t fail
Is seeing it finished worth every Mora you spend?

Within every building made with pride
The architect lives on inside
Shining paint, a marble heart
Tirelessly makes works of art
You build day by day
Sculpt your dreams out of clay
But you hope that your towers don’t fall
So I won’t have to see
The writing on the wall

Keeping track of all of your mistakes
The penalties heavy, you drown
I come to say, “That’s not all it takes
For your walls to come crumbling down.”

But then you ignore me, advice turning voiceless
As I further tell you to not waste away
Cover your ears and fill your own heart with the lies

Saying “You need to suffer, and starve, cause you always
Can’t settle for less, need to have it your way”
Cause maybe, just maybe, they’re trying to give you a sign

That with every building made with pride
The architect is locked inside
Walls press in and choke your heart
Any day, you’ll fall apart
I scream and I pray
That I’ll reach you some way
Cause together we can make it through
I will be there soon
The writing on the wall

[Instrumental Break]

Every day, we play this game of chance
Whirling through a desperate dance
Sketching visions in our heads
Then you rip them all to shreds

Not once did you share
Pain you shouldered, but bared
Did you notice me watch over you?
I’ve seen all the things your brush had made you do

Now that all your buildings, towering high
Crumble down, you’re trapped inside
Finished ending at the start
Now it’s time to play my part
I’ll come save your soul
As your “right way” takes a toll
And then at the end of it all, I will rewrite your fate
As writing on the wall

you guys popped off, amazing job 💕 happy birthday Kaveh!!

[radleyred]

This is actually most canon Alhaitham that ever Alhaithamed

[mr.guppysgardenhouse]

I kind of love that at the start, Alhaitham sort of pokes fun at Kaveh, he sees the first signs of Kaveh's breakdown and at first, he doesn't take it seriously at first because he doesn't realize that Kaveh is being self-destructive. Not saying that Alhaitham was legitimately making fun of his mental problems but I think Alhaitham as a character is sort of detached, it's not that he's stupid, but I feel like he doesn't comprehend feelings, thoughts and stuff like that in the same way, so he chalks up Kaveh's behavior to just being Kaveh.

But by the second and third verse, he comes to a full realization that Kaveh isn't just being himself and that he is legitimately hurting. Alhaitham, instead of simply paying him no mind and focusing on his own career, he picks up the pieces and even though everything around Kaveh has broken down, Alhaitham is willing to piece it back together just so Kaveh doesn't fall apart, at least not alone.

Or maybe I'm just too obsessed with these sillies and this is sort of cringey but that's just what I thought lmao

[yum]

This is fansong about a fansong, this means that Will Stetson is a god

[demon_snow]

The way in the first one kaveh is like “I can’t escape my fate” and then in the ahaitham version he’s like “I’ll rewrite your fate”. They are soulmates your honor 😭🙌

[Giebachii]

Matching idles, Matching fanmade songs, Drip marketing poses fit together, Matching skills/bursts with each other's rugs (Kaveh's skill is Alhaitham's rug, Alhaitham's burst is Kaveh's rug). They're very much infatuated your honor.

[by_artseni]

Remember girls and boys, Alhaitham is not an alpha abuser. He is just an ordinary person who wants only the best for Kaveh

[yourhistory]

4:04 "I'll come save your soul"
IM SCREAMING

[HaphazardPeach]

the little stitched up Kaveh doll I CAN'T

[Smeeshymeeshy]

THE WAY ALHAITHAM HUGGED KAVEH AT THE END 😭😭😭❤❤

[sandronesleftsock]

"THANK YOU WILL AND LIA" we all chanted in unison

[retcdgb]

Honestly, its nice to see someone who actually makes alhaitham be caring. So many people just assume he doesnt care about kaveh all that much by how they interact. But like. He took kaveh in to live with him, they aparently go out together quite often if sethos is a reliable source. This guy just doesnt show his feelings all that much

[bailey]

ship so canon they have matching songs

[samikay]

2:37 the pattern with the alternating POVs being broken here is SO IMPORTANT TO ME. Kaveh getting “any day you’ll fall apart” and “I’ll reach you some way” as his “writings on the wall” which are both reminders to himself about his self destructive behaviors but more importantly alhaithams words that he refuses to acknowledge. So “I will be there soon” breaking the pattern can be seen as both him refusing his help, refusing to acknowledge Alhaitham’s feelings, or Alhaitham’s unspoken words of affection… I’m sick they make me sick

[narniadici]

What hurts so much about Haikaveh, is how much mirror each other and know each other inside out.

Alhaitham sees Kaveh's self destruction and guilt over his past, Kaveh sees Alhaitham's human part, past his careless attitude.

It's no mistake that they live in the same home.

[wingficwithoutwings]

I can imagine someone making a fanfic where Kaveh is trapped inside his room, battling with his problems and Alhaitham on the other side of the door trying to comfort him in someway.
The last line "I hope I'll reach you some day, did you notice me watching over you?"

[thyquynh]

4:27 the healed kaveh doll, guys i cant 😭

[SOMEKELP_]

3:40 "Did you notice me watch over you?" UGH MY HEART MY POOR KAVEHAITAM HEART IS BREAKING

[sakana]

I THOUGHT PEOPLE WERE JOKING ABOUT AN ALHAITHAM VER I'M SO GLAD IT'S REAL NOW I JUST HOPE THIS DOESN'T MAKE ME REALISE I KIN ALHAITHAM LIKE THE ORIGINAL VER MADE ME REALISE I KIN KAVEH

[Baobaoshi]

If you listen both of the versions, you can hear how Kaveh one sounds more emotional, the way he expresses his emotions while Alhaitham one sounds like, hes watching and supports the person who suffers (idk how to explain but it's so charactized! I love it!!)
