The Fandom Anthem ( Fandoms United )

 Soooo , I just dissected counting stars by one republic cause I feel it can be the perfect anthem for all fandoms. 
Hope you like it!! 

"Counting Stars"

[Chorus:]
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep

( staying up late to know what happens next). 

Dreaming about the things that we could be

( dreaming about being a wizard, demigod or an other magical protagonist of your favourite fandom). 

But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

( doing the unimaginable in the world of our favourite fandoms). 

[Verse 1:]
I see this life like a swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line

( forbidden friendships, trusting people/creatures which are usually condemned in their world and forming new relationships). 

In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ye shall find.

( signs of danger flash but instead of shying away the protagonist seeks out the reason behind them). 

Old but I'm not that old               

(all the magical teachers of respective fandoms , look as young as 20 and maybe as old as 20,000 ). 

Young but I'm not that bold.

  ( the insecurity the protagonist feels in the beginning and sometimes before major tasks). 

And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I I I I feel something so right by doing the wrong thing 

(when the wrong authorities try to diminish the hero's spark, but s/he ends up being successful in doing what the authorities say is wrong but in reality is right ).
 
And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing

( when the antagonist manages to control their actions for a certain while which are correct according to the evil side but wrong for the protagonist). 

I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.

( the fact that something bad happens to the fandoms OTP yet they continue reading/ watching hoping for best while going through the worst). 

[Chorus:]
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars 
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Ye-e-yeah

[Verse 2:]
I feel her love
And I feel it burn down this river every time
Hope is our four-letter word

( the only thing that keeps everyone going in the fantasy world)

make that money watch it burn

Old but, I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing
I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

[Chorus:]
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Oh, take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned 

( when time comes and the protagonist makes his/her own path and does not take the path that is already carved). 

Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
