Don't Look Away / Just Look My Way (Blitzø's Version) by ErielleLynx

- …Is what I would have wanted Blitzø to have said to Stolas if he didn’t have the emotional intelligence of a pebble.
Anyways! Rant incoming, and this is going to be the longest description I’ll ever make on my channel. I don't have enough characters, but so help me, my rant will continue in the comments, haha.
First of all, this cover is not to somehow invalidate your love for any characters or ships. This is just one interpretation in a sea of different interpretations that might just not be suited to you. Please be respectful in the comments if you disagree haha.
I am by no means a songwriter or an experienced singer, but… I kept looking for something like this through the site, only to find AI covers. :,) I feel like there are so many things that just aren’t really being brought up yet and Stolas REALLY needs to hear them.
Essentially, the original song would have been the romanticized perspective that Stolas had on their relationship, whereas Blitzø's version would be more... realistic? Of course, it’s still from his perspective, so he doesn’t have the full story, but instead of asking for Stolas to “look his way”, Blitz does a reversal and is actually demanding he don’t look away from him, whether it be due to shame or guilt (Ya’ll remember Ozzies?), or because he literally can’t stand to look at him after the initial confrontation.
Some lyrics I wanted to point out:
Your impish plaything - A call back to when Stolas LITERALLY calls him that to his face, and in front of his employees / daughter. Also, remember when he literally puts out a cigarette in his horns? (While also ignoring the fact that his body has burn marks and the implications of that action was seriously messed up? Like-) And then told him in that same scene that the Grimoire was much too important for such an “itty-bitty imp” to handle? ALSO, remember how in the original version of the song, Stolas even calls Blitz this exact same thing? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I’d play along that you were my king / And I was your shining knight -When they were in the amusement park, Stolas literally calls him this and is then upset that the M&Ms were the ones to rescue him. His full quote: “Where is Blitzy? He’s my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones”. You know, cause he doesn’t look down on imps.
You’re not a friend, more like a patron -Yall, they were not friends when they were kids. The first and only time they interacted as children was because Stolas’ father literally bought Blitz for a day to spend time with his son, and he could because of their difference in status. From the very moment they met, their relationship was transactional; Blitz’ literal being was up for sale because it benefited his father. In the present day, nothing had changed. You want my book? Give me your body. I saved you from the humans, didn’t I? Well, I expect you to give me something in return. Why was Blitz supposed to hope, let alone expect, that the dynamic would change? And so, is he really any different from any other imp servant he employs?
I feel free from your chains -There is a literal scene that shows the audience that Blitz feels like he’s chained to Stolas, and that he can be pushed and pulled in any way because he’s beneath him. He knows he doesn’t really have any power in the dynamic. Like… regardless of any serious feelings being developed further down the line, the fact that at some point that was his actual interpretation of the relationship is just… no. Of course, it’s in that same episode that Stolas then calls him his “Impish plaything”. Which, you know, probably doesn't help his view on the relationship, as well as his own self-worth.
In the end, you made me plead - I absolutely hated that Stolas literally made him grovel at his feet before presenting him with the Asmodean Crystal. He says he understands that Blitz has walls to protect himself with, but why did he think that this was the way to get him to be vulnerable? Threaten his livelihood, which would put himself, his daughter and the M&M’s with no income, without an immediate explanation? So many ways that he could have done that interaction, and he chooses the absolute worst way possible.
Your praise was merely noise -A callback to his rant with Fizz haha. Given all of the above, why would compliments and laughs be enough to change his mind about him?
A lovely lie -Just him repeating Stolas’ own words in “Stolas’ Song”. It was all just a “comfortable lie”. Again, throwing his words back at him.
A game of pretend - Much like the game of pirates they would play as children.
Time to face / your mistakes -I’d like to think that he says that both metaphorically and literally. He’s telling Stolas that he needs to accept all the ways he did him wrong, but he’s also literally telling Stolas to look at him, the biggest mistake he has ever made.
#helluvaboss #vivziepop #stolitz #justlookmyway #justlookmywayblitzversion #blitz #stolas #justlookmywaycover #cover
I said I was gonna continue this rant and so help me, I will.
Finally, I decided to end it with the original lyrics, not only as a callback to the original song, but to, again, throw those words back at Stolas. Yes, Blitz did in fact ask him to look his way, just like he wanted, but not for the reasons that he thought he would. It’s Blitz’ way of shattering that romanticized image of their relationship, of what it actually meant to be seen by him.
In conclusion, I’m upset haha. I hope these things get brought up somehow… Stolas giving him the crystal does not make up for any of these things, but it’s a start. Even so, it still feels like a transaction. The first genuine act of affection is still a material good. Accompanied by pretty words, yes, but he was still giving him something and hoped that would make it right and he would have his affection in return. Oof…
Even if you don’t necessarily agree with this interpretation, I hope that ya’ll can still enjoy the song? ^^; I tried haha.

I felt this rant in my soul 😅😅 I agree with this and I hope Stolas' wrongs are addressed in the show soon so these two can have a healthy and happy ending/solution
@@breeeeeaaathofthewild I'm so glad my rambling could actually resonate with someone hahaha
Not sure if it's just me coping, but I really hope they address *any* of this in some meaningful way.
Thank you for listening to my version of the song! 🖤🤍
"Don't forget though you may act opposed, that this deal was one YOU proposed" Wow....chills👏
@@julesfandubsetc that was one of my favorite lines hahaha. It needed to be said!!
Thank you for listening and for leaving a comment!! :)
The lyrics are freaking amazing. It’s rare I’ve seen such beautiful lyrics for a freaking parody. The rhyming and word choice is so poetic.
Also your voice is lovely
@@Lady_ETHNE Thank you so so much for your kind words ;-; I'm so happy that you liked my lyrics, lord knows I tried to make it work hahaha. The plan was to keep the exact rhyme scheme as the original but that proved to be too difficult haha. Had to deviate once or twice.
Thanks again!! Comments like these make want to keep practicing making song rewrites haha.
@@eriellelynx you’re very welcome! Making lyrics is freaking hard (even though my only experience is trans-lyrics and parodies) so I always love it when people make amazing lyrics
I sure hope this gets turned into a canon song like "Just Look my way." Brandon Rogers singing this would be epic.
@@Tallest333 I would cry ngl, if I'm noticed by Vivziepop that way 😭 I'd love to hear Brandon sing something a bit more melancholic haha, that'd be great.
Thank you sm for listening to my version! 🖤🖤
I can't imagine this being made canon. Blitz doesn't express his feelings like this (although this could just be in his head) and Brandon doesn't like to sing (although they could hire someone who does and is able to imitate Blitz's voice)
@@lycanthrochick it's a shame that we might not get a scene where he's been this genuine at all. The closest we got was his rant to Stolas after Full Moon, and that was played for laughs 😅 and his apology to Verosika I guess, but even that was pretty weak.
Frankly, I don't know if any of this while be acknowledged in the show, but one can hope haha. Even if it isn't sung, I just really hope for that epiphany.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!
I can’t even explain how much i want to hear this in the show!! Your voice is so good and this captured how blitzø feels perfectly! I was tearing up half way through.
@@Imposterqueenofnonecringe2 omg, you've made my day ;-; thank you so much, I'm so glad you liked it!!
What I would give to hear some sort of reprise of this song from his perspective :( that would be so amazing...
@@eriellelynx Your welcome!! And i hope they do a reprise too.
This is so heartbreaking daaamnnnn😢😢😢
@@Fujoshimaniac69 dang, I guess I did my job right, haha! Tysm for commenting and watching the video! :)
If Blitzo sang this, I can't imagine what Vivziepop might think of this, to me it's amazing.
Thank you!!
Only time will tell how this story is going to progress. I hope it has a happy (and healthy) ending for them both. :,)
@@eriellelynx Your welcome, it's perfect.
I have to say, after listening to this, ths is amazing. I can totally see Blitz singingthis, hough whether this was before or after they talk, i donpt know, but it does wor ether way. this s wonderful!! can;t ai to hear more form you
@@InflatableKMH thank you so much!! I'm so happy to hear that you liked it! :,)
I'd figure that this essentially substitutes the breakdown he had in the mirror room. Rather than scream at him, he bursts into song hahaha.
That's why the first and final images depict both Blitz and Stolas there hahaha. Whether or not Stolas reacts the same way as in the original is unknown, but I'd like to think it would have actually made him rethink things.
@@eriellelynx I agree wholeheartedly :)
Wtf why doesn't this have more recognition? This was absolutely amazing and I honestly am awestricken
@@theshadowhunterknight AY 😭 that's such a kind thing to say omg ;-;
Thank you so so much, I'm so happy that you liked it!! 🖤🖤

I was expecting to hear Stolas at the end Say Blitz I think so very highly of you i never thought you'd think so lowly of me. Goodbye Blitz 😢😢😢😢
@@amandagerow4690 I'd like to think that after the song (or at least a discussion that didn't involve screaming), he'd have something more to say. :,) we'll see how this whole things pans out in the serious haha
Thank you for listening and for commenting! 🤍🤍
Absolute cinema 🙌
