Her theme song is just like the ocean. Calm and clear, then suddenly loud! Crashing dark waves! Out of nowhere like anger and sadness falling around you the pure embodiment of her emotions! Then all at once.. calm again
People call Lapis a coward for leaving Earth, but imagine being caught in a war, hurt, basically killed, trapped in a mirror for THOUSANDS of years with no possible chance to get out, then caught again and forced to fight with someone who is phisically much stronger. After all that you finally get a chance to rest and live happily, but...your new home is going to be attacked. AGAIN. And if you stay, the story might repeat itself, you can get trapped again and this time no one will save you. Lapis ran not because she is a coward who is afraid to face the Diamonds. She ran because if she got caught again, her psyche wouldn`t make it.
Ramer Call physically* Also, while jasper MAY have been physically stronger, Lapis was clearly more powerful. Do you know how crushing the ocean can be? If you went deep enough into the ocean, even if you could breath underwater, you’d still get crushed by the pressure of the water. That means that Lapis could probably shatter a gem if she wanted to. Besides, all of the gems went through bad stuff. Like the person above me said, it still sounds like cowardice to me.
Xoxo. Slytherin. I don’t understand how you can blame her. First of all, when the ship went down Lapis was CRUSHED under it. You really think she would be strong enough to fight Jasper?? She wasn’t even strong enough to fly away properly. Plus, none of the other gems have gone through worse.
Minh Hieu Do it was going to be "Escapism", but since Rebecca already had a song planned out for Lapis, she just sung Distant Shore. Someone else may sing "Escapism".
The song from the scene where Lapis is fighting the crystal gems just shows you how the music is really reflective of the characters, each character appearing introducing a new type of sound.. Gotta love that detail.
@@universereverbz I think the scene the oc was referring to is the water clones eith the music being "Mirror Match". That has the best use of motifs compared to the scene where Lapis takes out her anger on the Crystal Gems.
OKAY I saw this before :44 came and I was like "Oh! I love these comments! Something to look forward to!" and Lemme tell you dude... I waited.. excited for some epic piano maneuvers and what I got was screamed at by a Reaper lmao. I involuntarily chucked my mouse at my computer screen
I like how malachites theme is destructive representing how they are a toxic fusion and don't go together not even having their own voice actor for malachite, simply switching between jasper and lapis yet the song still bops also I like how the piano parts sorta sound mashed
Isn't it weird to think that, if Lapis had wanted to destroy the Crystal Gems, Malachite totally could've? It was pure luck that they survived that moment.
@@emmasantonge2718 I agree, I hear a lot of people say that Malachite wouldve lost if it werent for the water but people forget Malachite had Alexandrite beat even on land. Additionally, come to think of it, the only reason Malachite didnt smash the CG in her first appearance was also because of Steven. He treated Lapis like a friend when everyone else imprisoned her. The Crystal Gems didnt beat Malachite, Steven beat Malachite lmao

Lapis is such an under rated character. Her story is just so tragic yet she never let that turn her into a bad person. Instead she is trying to cope and constantly getting braver and stronger to fight back against her fears and attackers. Sure, she might faulter at times, but her heart is always true to herself and the people she loves, and she always bounces back. Such a sweet, beautiful, often misunderstood character. I love her to bits!
Yeah, it's like a jumpscare. You try to forget the past but the years in a mirror keep on coming back no matter how hard you try to run away. I've always loved su music.
After all the pain, the suffering, the sadness, the loneliness, the happiness finally has come for her but her past still haunts her. That's what lapis lazuli is.

If we do everything they say, they might go easy on us!” “That’s why we can’t fight them!” “I’m tired of being everyone’s prisoner!

Lapis is so powerful. She was able to fight off all of the crystal gems while controlling the entire ocean and with a cracked gem. She kept Jasper trapped at the bottom of the ocean. I kind of want to see her just go crazy and fully use her power.
You forgot "That Distant Shore" But I Can see why for SO Many Reasons! Still. Even without that, This is just pure Awesomeness and I Care for Lapis even more now. ^^
Sometimes I have feelings that are close worse to Lapis Lazuli, although I do have times where, cheery things happen, like Lapis. There’s always a time where she has a smile to her face, a true smile.

True
She’s too pure
Yesss perfect description

Sounds like cowardice to me

Besides, all of the gems went through bad stuff. Like the person above me said, it still sounds like cowardice to me.
Protocal_S1ran You cant blame her for leaving, you just CANT. She has gone through so much smh. Any sane person would’ve made the same choice.
Oh yeah I totally agree but like it’s also just cowardice plain and simple.
Xoxo. Slytherin. I don’t understand how you can blame her. First of all, when the ship went down Lapis was CRUSHED under it. You really think she would be strong enough to fight Jasper?? She wasn’t even strong enough to fly away properly. Plus, none of the other gems have gone through worse.
And now, finally:
Distant Shore
JG Peres "Maybe I'd find myself sitting on that distant shore..Maybe I'm not..alone...."
Did not see that coming
JG Peres And now, finally:
''I've felt worse."
Thought it was "Escapism"

A Curious Person yeah. And the theme that plays when Lapis is battling the Crystal Gems is called I am Lapis Lazuli
@@universereverbz I think the scene the oc was referring to is the water clones eith the music being "Mirror Match". That has the best use of motifs compared to the scene where Lapis takes out her anger on the Crystal Gems.
Oh my gosh, Lapis Flight has her original piano theme, but in MAJOR! That's beautiful!
I didn't notice that before! That's so beautiful!
Notice how Lapis' theme is sad throughout, but gets happier in tone as it goes on?

True. Malachite can beat the fusion of all crystal gem
Duy Khang Trần well alexandrite doesn't include Steven
Duy Khang Trần yeah if they fused with steven then they could have a shield
The only reason why Malachite lost the fight was because of the Watermelon Stevens, if they weren’t there the gems would more than likely lost.

I just love lapis and her story will live on her music is really cool she’s my favorite character
I hate that she is in space...
Priscilla Mora And kids ,this is why we use commas but i agree 2 that she is an amazing character and that her music is totally awesome
Then you would like me to because i've been through the whole thing lapis did the only reason why im talking is because im keeping "The Rift" closed
the intensity is her anger and the fact she cant escape the fact she was used as a mirror of truth, this song is beautiful

I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me prisoner anymore!

Can anyone else just see her constantly running and crying. Her character is the weakest and the strongest on the show

This was made before Distant Shore was released, but this still does sound good!
They also forgot to put the lapis tower or at least lapis' healing
this gives me feelings i cannot put into words o mg
