LYRICS

Stuck alone
Swallowing shadows
Everything I've ever held closely has crumbled...
Broken code
I'm at a crossroad
Do I swallow my pride, stay and hide, or face my families lies?

Tied.
To a history of shame
smeared names.
Who's to blame?
I'm trapped in the flames.
Of my past.
That they cast.

All I ever wanted was to be something more.
My family, my clan, the code. It's all I lived for.
My lungs scream for air, but how can I bare
To know that I'm wrong, right down to the core?
How can I just go free, when everything inside of me
has been nothing but a fabricated reality.
I thought I knew my place, but that's all been erased...
I'm going to die down here, I'm running out of breathing space.

Half-blooded, mind's flooded,
in a lake of doubt.
Am I the punishment provided for love not allowed?
Is Starclan watching now?
From up in the clouds?
As I tumble and I fumble deeper down into this tunnel.

Did they know all along, that despite it being wrong,
That destiny can go beyond, what the rules were set upon?
Does love matter where it comes from?
Or is it something we should be numb from?

But when you push the love aside, it doesn't hide the lie.
How can I search and find the pride inside of being divided?
How could I have been misguided?
Ripped as a kit quick from my mother now split from my brothers
And it's getting darker...
And I have to wonder
Am I'm destined to go under?
For the sins I've covered...

All I ever wanted was to be something more.
But now I know that I'm wicked to straight core.
My lungs scream for air, but how can I bare
To know I left him bleeding out on that stream shore.
How can I just go through, when knowing what I had to do...
Meant the death of someone just to keep him mute
He could have known his place, he could have made a change.
He's going to die up there, I tore away his breathing space.

All I ever wanted was to be something more.
I know that I'm wicked to straight core.
I left him bleeding out on the stream shore.
My family, the code. It's all I lived for.

Stuck alone
Swallowing shadows
Half-blooded, mind's flooded...
Tied.
To a history of shame
Does love matter where it comes from?
Or is it something we should be numb from?

All I ever wanted was to be something more.
I know that I'm wicked to straight core.
I left him bleeding out on the stream shore.
My family, the code. It's all I lived for.

It's all I lived for.
It's all I lived for.
Now I've got nothing to live for.

"She just wanted to be perfect, but she wasn't, and it broke her."

Cmon blixemi Holly was crying at the end THE

[quinoachip]

The entire time, I expected that in the end of the song, Fallen Leaves would be like, " Hello?"

[pineapples]

Hollyleaf is one of my favorite characters but I actually really feel bad for her.

[AnimalLover-]

R.I.P. Hollyleaf One of my fav characters in the series My she always be remembered as one of those lost to us in The Great Battle

[jocoserious]

Hollyleaf's story is really sad, how she grew up trying to be the best and most loyal cat she could be, following the code as though her life depended on it. Only to find out her very existence goes against the code in at least two ways.

I wish she got to be one of the Three, with the power of shapeshifting or something, because she was always thinking about if she do things like other species. I don't know. It sounds dumb, but also interesting.

EDIT: Shapeshifting is completely illogical. Just, something besides being left out. Anything.

[rurimiharu]

Fun fact: the Erins scrapped Holyleaf because they couldn't find a power for her. Couldn't they have given her Dovewings power?

[lavenieys]

10/10. Hollyleaf is such an over looked character in the series, glad to see this.

[crystalgarrett]

"I tore away his breathing space..."

Just that line sent chills down my spine.

[itzyourgirllake]

Hollyleaf is definitely one of my favorites. She literally grows up living a lie. Everything she believed and worked for crumbled when she found out Leafpool was her mother. She deserved so much more then what she got.

[Charlie-czee]

People always say "Hollyleaf killed Ashfur for no apparent reason because she then releived the secret later, then went into hiding" BUT THEN THERE'S ME. I support Hollyleaf with my heart, she is my favorite character. I know this is an old video/song but's a good one. Hollyleaf was really torn, she just wanted to serve her clan, disapointed that her family love wasn't true. Then not being one of the 3, well yeah... she went into hiding believing to be dead. Over all that is a great character story-line because she really actually was a good she-cat. Alright that's all I have to say, and one more thing, GO HOLLYLEAF

[emilyd]

I really liked this song. The portrayal of Hollyleaf as a cat with conflicting feelings, who didn't know what to do and didn't have any good choices. She is usually seen as the betrayer and ruthless murderer of Ashfur, then a coward for hiding. (Or at least that's what I hear most often). So I really like the way she's shown.
Thank you for making so many amazing songs! Keep up the good work for all your fans out here!

[Bramblestar]

I resonate with Hollyleaf on a spiritual level

[sloppyjoewithnobeef]

"He's going to die up there"
I pretty sure he already ded

[friend]

If Alibaba ever makes a power-of-three movie, Blixemi should do Hollyleaf's voice.

[jaxxonguin]

im sick, and i was singing along to this, and right after the "Ripped as kit quick from my mother and now split from my brothers" part, i started coughing like crazy

[birdy]

“He’s going to die up there, i tore away his breathing space.” BEST LYRICS

[thepokepoet]

If "Warriors" ever becomes a musical, please audition

[charlieisme]

I like to imagine
0:00 - 0:52 is Hollyleaf struggling with the truth of her true parentage
0:52 - 1:16 is Hollyleaf working up the thought of killing Ashfur
1:16 - 1:24 is Hollyleaf right before killing Ashfur, deciding she's already gone through enough and is already bad anyways
1:24 - 1:56 is Hollyleaf realizing killing Ashfur made her a worse person
1:56 - 2:27 is Hollyleaf working up the thought of telling the Gathering
2:27 - 2:39 is Hollyleaf telling the Gathering + working up the thought of killing Leafpool
2:39 - 2:47 is Hollylead attempting to get Leafpool to poison herself
2:47 - 3:08 is Hollyleaf confessing to her brothers right before trying to run away through the tunnels
3:08 - 3:12 is Hollyleaf realizing this would be the last time she'd see her loved ones
3:12 - 3:16 is Hollyleaf RIGHT before running into the tunnels
3:16 - 3:23 is Hollyleaf running into the Tunnels
3:23 the cutoff is the Tunnels collapsing
3:24 - 3:32 is Jayfeather and Lionblaze searching for Hollyleaf
3:33 the cutoff is both Hollyleaf realizing she's still alive and Jayfeather realizing Dovewing is the true 3rd cat

[ranpo_edogawa]

Oh my God, I love this. The depth of this song into Hollyleaf's mind is amazing. You even had her regret killing Ashfur, her constantly questioning her existence, and her love for her family. All put together in one beautiful song.

[shiyafox]

0:31 How can I BEAR..*cough cough* Starkit's Prophecy *cough* Shapeshifting Hollyleaf *cough*
