The Interview (Fritz and Noaki Collab)

[no_apologies]

Really should start on the next track for the Shark Out of Water album!

(Mood: Naoki starts to become curious and wants to know more about Fritz. Fritz is also curious, in addition to sincere as he observes how close Naoki is towards me (Fox). Genre: Soft Acoustic Emo Rock and LoFi Slowcore. Light Ambience and Lofi music mixed in with acoustic guitar. Minimal soft percussion.)

[intro, spoken softly, sincere][FRITZ:]
"It looks like the two of you have become very close friends... I remember, you said you first found her a week ago... You said, back where you came from, there are monsters, and demons..."

[spoken softly][NAOKI:]
"In a world so broken and desolate of human civilization... where most either want you dead, or to use you for their own selfish desires or agendas... we had to... Someone like her... She wouldn't have lasted long at all on her own... Right now, she'll need every bit of opportunity to rest..."
"Fritz... How long have you known Fox? I've seen and heard how much she trusts you... She really respects and cares about you..."

[Verse 1, singing softly][FRITZ:]
Since near the end of October...
Last year...
My bandmates and I first met her.

I read her lyrics for a heavy song,
About past betrayals and wrongs.
I saw through her words, every verse,
Fox and her mom had suffered.

Selfish, deceptive individuals,
Careless, rotten, and cruel,
She felt so angry, disgusted,
And hated their fake promises.
[singing][NAOKI:]
What did they dooooo?
Did they hurt you tooooo?
I know, where I came from,
Long before the Conception,
There were humans who behaved,
The same as demons do today,
The same as demons do today...

[singing][FRITZ:]
No, this happened earlier.
The incident had occurred,
Back in the middle of summer.

[Pre-Chorus]
The struggles of finding places to live,
Having to endure through what some did,
A lot of horribly heavy stuff,
Fox had been through so much...

Apart from the otherworldly,
Her own words, they drew me.
I wanted to know her whole story,
Behind her honest songwriting...

[Chorus]
I knew I didn't want to be just a glance.
To earn her trust, to be given a chance,
I offered a time and place for us to,
Relax and have an interview...

[Verse 2, singing][NOAKI:]
From the way she looked at the sky,
So stunned, uneasy to ask why.
A brutal environment to settle in.

Like a flicker in a desert of grey,
Where the shadows never go away,
I've traded blows against demons,
But over here--a drastic experience.

I didn't know if I could be her friend,
Where most of humanity ended.
Now, as we're traveling on this road,
I see she's important to us both.

Do you know anything of her grieving?
Wanted to ask but didn't start pushing.
Would that be about the heartless scum,
Who dealt her betrayal and frustration?

[FRITZ:]
The worst of the scammers caused,
Her an immensely painful loss.
She had to part from a few cats,
And couldn't later have them back.

There's also a strain in her faith,
Nothing she wanted to have to face.
Currently, she's still healing,
From all the heartache she's feeling.

[Chorus 2]
I didn't want to be just a glance.
To earn her trust, to be given a chance,
I offered a time and place for us to,
Relax and have an interview...

Back then, I found out where she worked.
I noticed her tears, looking hurt.
I didn't, I didn't want to be just a glance
To earn her trust, to be given...
I didn't, I didn't want to be just a
I didn't want to be just a glance
I wanted her to give me a chance
While gentle in approach I knew she needed someone to talk to.

[Outro, singing][NAOKI]
Providing her sanctuary
Watching her peaceful face
Her head on my shoulder...

[spoken softly]
"Rest, you'll be home soon..."
