Another Quellan, for failure.
Assorted markers.

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me.
Please don't change.
Please don't break.
The only thing that seems to work at all is you.
Please don't change...
At all from me to you and you to me.

You always have such interesting and unique ideas! This gives me the feeling of a person who feels small and overwhelmed, falling and further. I love how you used the black and the bright reds to establish the feeling. Great job!

It's hard to read the words here.
I like it. It's like air castles which are illusive and not very strong.

Yeah, I see. They are tiny and my handwriting kinda blows.

Thanks. That's an interesting but appropriate way of describing my idea here.

This is nice. Also, I have you on my watch list and I've been watching your deviations for a while now. I actually like your work most of the time. Are those puppet strings? If not, what do the strings signify? To me i feel like. This is a person being enveloped by the real world, and the strips of lyrics are the pieces of him that got him there. That's also why they have puppet strings; as if he were manipulated into his own destruction. I don't know, my interpretation is how it relates to me. I know how it feels to be manipulated. Worrying about everything and everyone and their expectations and what they want me to be and their prejudice. It was later that I realized all of that will consume me into never amounting to anything if i don't start to be who I want to be. I was harassed because i let it be harassment.

Dude! You can type like a person! Mostly...

The strings are meant to be like wires holding up those red bridge-like things (with the text).
I can get if you see something else there though. That's kind of the point of these more abstract pieces. I don't do any kind of planning for them so sometimes my ideas don't come out in a way other people recognize.
I could probably revise them, using my current versions as drafts, but I don't like dwelling on the negative emotions in them too much. Maybe when I'm feeling more stable myself I'll do something like that.

It seems like you got the ultimate meaning. There is some quote I heard once that describes it. I can't remember it exactly but the gist of it was that people who go to hell (or a dark place) spend part of their lives being pushed toward hell by someone else and the other part of their lives seeking hell on their own.
I think failure is caused by a mixture of inner and outer influences. Part of us failing is our own fault but there are also cases where we face insurmountable odds and just can't get past that.
