Pressure on the Rouge

It's hard to make a parody if the song itself is strongly connects to the character's build up.

Attack on Titan x Encanto

________________________________________________________________________________

Everyone has these high expectations for me to grant them their wishes and hopes to be fulfill. But can I really do it? The Rumbling?

"I don't have time to worry if it's right or wrong, you can't hope for a horror story with a happy ending!"

Suddenly, everything that Eren has experience and suffered has come back flowing into his mind.
Killing the human traffickers. The fall of Shiganshina. 104th Cadet Corps. The battle of Trost. Becoming a Titan. Being treated like a monster. Making a choice that got many people killed. Getting betrayed by people he considered to be friends. The Uprising arc. Breaking down and getting back up when the truth of his father's actions came to light. Return to Shiganshina arc. Finishing off the Colossal Titan. Have his best friend to become the next Colossal Titan. The truth about the outside world. Finding out he has an older half-brother. His mother was eaten by his half-stepmother. Making his declaration of War on Marley. Gaining the War Hammer Titan. Loosing Sasha. Forming followers to achieve true freedom. Surviving a gun shot from Gabi.

And now, questioning to begin the Rumbling to destroy his enemies.

I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
I move landscapes, I move towers
And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough, indestructible surface
Orders and Titans, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but

Under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope fighter in a three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Levi ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Beast Titan"?
Under the surface
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back? It's

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, woah-oh
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh
Give it to your Titan, your Titan's older
Give him all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh
Give it to your soldier, your soldier's stronger
See if he can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter

Under the surface
I hide my nerves and it worsens; I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The gear doesn't swerve, has it heard how big the Titan's height is?
Under the surface
I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows
You try to stop it topplin', but on and on it goes

But wait, if I could shake, the crushing weight
Of expectations, would that freedom room up for joy
Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?
Instead, we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep going, 'cause all we know is

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah-oh
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh
Give it to your monster, it doesn't hurt and
See if he can handle every human's burden
Watch as he buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes, just

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh
Give it to your Shifter and never wonder
If the same pressure would've pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes!
No pressure!

Even if he starts the Rumbling or not, he will die at the hands of those closest to him. And perhaps the pressure will finally be lifted off of him.

But nothing they say can help him, nor will they never understand the deep pressure he carries under the surface.
