Song three from Tragicomic by Greg Amici, and this one makes a mistake I see in a lot of beginner lyrics. The song spends its whole opening getting you to root for one guy. Then it quietly turns him into the one you hoped you had better not rooted for. 😬 In this breakdown we cover the two words most people dont know what they truly mean (antagonist and protagonist), the exact line where the song hands you off to the wrong character, and three checks you can run on your own songs so this never happens to you.
