Azula with Ursa behind her, showing that Ursa is the direct source of Azula's mental health issues pointing at Zuko with Ozai behind him, showing that Ozai is the direct source of all his mental health issues....

and the lyrics at that point, singing how they're more alike than Zuko realizes.

This was made years ago and has always been one of my all time favourite songs, and this amazing animation by Emirichu just makes it beyond amazing.

The song is originally in Japanese and was translated to English for this project, iirc. Emirichu thought that Azula's story matched it well, so she drew for it and I agree, it fits amazingly well.

The lyrics are terribly sad and the song is flagged as triggering, as it's about suicide.

LYRICS DESCRIPTION (PLEASE AVOID IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS)

The lyrics talk about a completely different story. A girl goes to the top of a building and finds someone there everyday. The different people she finds there all seem to be sad about something or the other and have come there to commit suicide but the girl talks each one of them out of doing so.

Ultimately, the reveal or climax of the song shows us that each of the people the girl talks to were only different arguments she herself was making in order to commit suicide. In the end, she finds no one there to stop her and so attempts suicide.

The album itself contains many songs, all related stories. I've been told that another song in the album shows us that the girl in this song is saved from having to jump at the last minute or something of that nature.

HOW IT MATCHES WITH AZULA

The song is sung in such a way that the singer dismisses everyone's reason to feel sorrowful in such a logical yet brusque fashion that it personally feels just like something Azula would do, like she did once for Ty Lee and once maybe for Zuko.

However, it also highlights most importantly, that there was no one to help Azula when she needed it .. which feels so damn true.

It's an old song, you guys might all know about it already but it's so wonderful that I keep coming back to it and I thought we could see if others on this subreddit might look visiting this song too
