Original: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood ending song - USO (by SID)
English version - "Candy Star"
Lyrics by expression
Vocals by expression
This was the first English lyrics I wrote. The original song was an ending theme of Full Metal Alchemist (FMA) Brotherhood, a critically acclaimed Japanese anime series. When their loving mother died, the young Edward and Alphonse Elric performed the forbidden ceremony of human transmutation in a desperate attempt to bring her back to life. It failed with the horrific outcome of claiming Edward's arm and leg and Alphonse's whole body. Thus began the journey to redemption of the 2 brothers as alchemy apprentices, in search of the ultimate meaning of life.
When the tv series was first made, the manga version had not yet concluded. Hence this first tv version, known as FMA 2003, took much liberty in the plot development and veered into a significantly different and darker path. A second series, known as FMA Brotherhood, was made after the manga was complete and closely followed the plot of the novel. The lyrics were written in keeping with the overall theme of FMA.

Candy Star
Do you still, still remember How I chased you in the summer rain And, how the candy bar you gave me eased the pain Do you still, still remember You and I gave every star its name Yet things will never be the same The fancies, come crashing from outside Are what the adults call inspiration The memories, all tightly bound inside Are what I call adoration We started out holding hands The journey we two descend promised a life so grand Now that we are worlds apart, the sun rays here pierced me like a dart Can you see, the star engraved on your heart? Is it hard to remember What the truth is when you've lost your youth? They say, grown-ups aren't supposed to keep a candy tooth Yet I vaguely remember How I promised I will never cry As we were dreaming in the sky The fancies, come crashing from outside Are what the adults call inspiration The memories, all tightly bound inside Are what I call adoration (music) We hoped high when we were told That happiness will be sold along the road of gold Now that I've mastered the goal of turning lead or ice into coal All I see in my mind is just your soul It is hard to remember As the summers here forget to rain And, all the candy bars have melted down the drain Still I strive to remember How my heart is on your silver chain So don't forget I do still, still remember How we tripped and danced in summer rain My dear, how that candy smile you gave me sealed the pain I'll remember forever How you said each star is not the same And one of them shall bear your name |
