Lyrics:
Create a place through shapes and shades
Build a blinding stage where beauty's made
But when your colors fade
Everything will change

I'm trying hard to imagine better
Daydream him, I'll wait forever
I'll pray that our paths blur together

It might not be true, but it's the best I can do
It's only to keep a little piece of you
I can't keep it inside
I'll have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn't live without

And I'm pouring my heart, and I'm sealing my soul
And I'm taking a breath, and he's giving his all
And I wanna walk out from the trouble I'm in
'cause im really not sure where to begin

And if faking it will make it better
Better than it was before
And lies could bring us close together
So I won't be lonely no more

Pretending it doesn't matter
Could help me pass the time
Make believe he'll hide forever

This is real life
This is real life
This is real life
Oh oh oh this is real life
(Oh oh oh) It's time to see the real life

Paint your world full of tones
Write the story so you know how it goes
But my heart's alone, 'till he comes home

He'll make a decision, he'll have no choice
And I'll hold him close, he'll hear my voice
And I'll pray we're together, forever

Take a deep breath, go for a walk
I wish you were here, 'cause we've got to talk
I can't keep it inside
I have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn't live without

And I'm pouring my heart
And I'm sealing my soul
And I'm gasping for air
'cause he's given it all
And he wants to wake up from dream he's been in
And start it all over so we can relive

And if faking it will make it better
Better than it was before
And lies could bring us close together
So I won't be lonely no more.

Pretending it doesn't matter
Could help me pass the time
Make believe he'll hide forever

This is real life
(I'm just trying to survive)
This is real life, oh
(Every day I need a lie)
This is real life, oh oh oh
(Taking one step at a time)
This is real life
(In make believe)
it's time to see

While he's taking the steps and he's making a stand
He's pulling down walls and doing all that he can
He's through with black and white
And drawing the lines

Between make believe and real life
(I'm just trying to survive)
This is real life
(Every day and night, real life)
This is real life
(Taking one step at a time)
Oh oh,
This is real life
(Make believing)
Oh

My real dreams
And real love
You make the things
That you can't touch
This make believe
Is not enough
It's time to see
A real life

[Yume_aeae]

I'm relieved everyone accepts the fact the original ending is the canon ending
The revision ending ruined how emotional this game is soooo much

[ste]

Usually when media goes down the “it was all a dream” route, they do it so badly. But Drawn to Life did it almost perfectly

[MLittleBrony]

i literally thought the ending of this game was some kind of fandom inside joke until i finally beat the game myself.

[WilfrePancakes]

Oh I sure love the smell of depression and *_E X I S T E N T I A L D R E A D_* in the morning.

[cakeyeater]

Yo, its called drawn to life, because the kid was brought back from a coma, or rather, drawn to the idea of living. Its like the play on words used in the first game's end song. Epic, but sad, foreshadowing

[raredecosystem]

Who knew that a 5 dollar game I got from GameStop could bring out so many emotions, tears, and nostalgia 😭 drawn to life and drawn to life next chapter has my heart forever along with other cheap DS games I’ve grown up with. 💙💙

[foofin]

I'm happy my little 5 year old mind didn't understand the ending or I would've been scarred for a while

[lightninstriker]

This series had such a powerful, poetic ending. The villain is sympathetic in that he's fighting to prevent the end of the world, but only so he can continue existing at the expense of another. However this does not absolve you of the moral quandry you face, yourself. If He wakes, then this world that you've come to love and adore as it's protector and all your friends within it will vanish forever. But if you want this world you love to continue, then you're condemning Him to his fate and likely only prolonging the inevitable. It's a powerful, painful lesson that no matter how hard you try to fight against it, all good things must come to an end, and whether you accept it, or refuse to face it, is entirely on your shoulders.




And then the Switch game ruined it.

[thatoneclonetrooper]

This series is the only one (that I can think of) that pulled the "it was a coma" cliche and did it well. I don't know how to put it, but the way the game showed that the characters, the story, everything, was nothing but the figment of a comatose boy's imagination didn't feel insulting. Heck, it made the story hit harder somehow.

[DivineDragonLeo]

Drawn to Life helped me cope with the death of my dad. This song hurt me so bad but the same time it helped me shed the tears that I needed to. In a way it told me to wake up because the dream where my dad was gone and he'd come home some day was false.

[ragdollarmy]

I'm not crying, you're crying

[WilfrePancakes]

_Can't wake up._
WAKE MIKE UP INSIDE.
_Mike can't wake up._
WAKE MIKE UP INSIDE.
*SAVE MIKE*

[WilfrePancakes]

Wilfre represented the coma and is Lucifer.

The Creator is the God of Christianity.

The color vanishing represented Mike's mind dying slowly because of the coma.

Mari and Jowee were those dolls.

Heather's shadowy side of her face represented the real Heather's face being half-way torn off.

Salem and Sock were mere representations of illusions of the coma, being Wilfre's disguises.

Rose could have possibly been Mike's mother trying to communicate with him spiritually. She was saying she was dead, which translated to Rose nearly dying.

Wilfre killing the Mayor represented the crash, Wilfre being the driver that crashed the car into Mike and his family's car (the Mayor.)

Heather was praying to God to save her brother. This is a possible representation of all the missions we have to do in the games. You see: I believe Mike still was able to witness what was surrounding him for example:

The officer (seen in the pictures when Mike wakes up) represents Cricket, the cop in the Raposa Village.

Zsasha possibly foreshadows someone in real life we'll never see, perhaps whoever will adopt Mike and Heather. How do I know this? He takes in the little rapo you rescue in Twilight Forest along with him and acts as a caretaker for that child.

*B O O M*

I just figured out the lore of the Drawn to Life franchise.

[sentaismashwithh]

I remember beating this
I remember when I can play this again by beating the final boss again
Beautiful nostalgia 😪

[TheBilli]

This was one of the first games that actually made me cry during the end... and left me thinking about it for the next several days... Even now I still think about it! I really want to replay it someday! This game is sooo underrated!

[garmadonthesensei]

This ending left me traumatized as a 12 year old, having to kill my own creations and all the cute little Raposa... to save a poor kid who was dying in a coma. My mouth dropped at the end credits I was so shocked... but now, wow this game was truly a masterpiece. The ending was really beautiful/bittersweet and I’m literally crying rn, still 8 years later.. 🤧🤧🤧🤧❤️❤️🙏

[beeblikesgrapes]

"kemi-kewa, you must stop Wilfre! kemi- kewa!! - Heather


Scrambled: wake mike!

[ShaymintheRaichu]

It's been so long and I still can't get over how deep this game's story got despite being a children's game. I'm nearly 20 now but I hold a deep appreciation for this game. Drawn to Life was so beautiful <3

[dominicfava]

Gosh, I'm always hesitant on listening to this track because I'm afraid it'll hit me too hard.

[Disarm_]

I always come back to your channel one way or another because this game mesmerized me as a child and I still love it today. Thanks for being there SirBaki.
