Evolve for You or Magikarp’s Lament

I wait in the back rows
I wait to show the world I’m better than I appear
And that I want you here
I’m not pretending I don’t know
That you call me useless, you call me a waste
And then you stick me in Box 9 and then you go

Now I’m not the strongest
I’m not the fastest, smartest, or most reliable one
But I’m not done
The sea is a tempest
But it can’t compare to the fire I want to let out

They said that I was magic
They said I could be anything

But now I see
They were lying through their teeth
I’m a roaring dragon, I’m a raging storm
I want to let my true self free
But I just splash around, because it’s all I know to do
I want to evolve for you
And for myself too
Remember the old days?
We were such a team, but I guess that’s over now
I’ll move on somehow
Some day and in some way
I can look back from my lonely cage
To the times when we still kept our careless ways

You were the one who
Kept me through when they called me joke and a fool and a clown
Helped me up when I was down
Just wanted to tell you
I’d give a Max Revive and a Full Restore to be with you

They said I had potential
They said I could be anything

But now I see
They were lying through their teeth
I’m a roaring dragon, I’m a raging storm
I want to let my true self free
But I just splash around, because it’s all I know to do
I want to evolve for you
And for myself too

I want to evolve
I want to be the legend I was meant to be
But it’s dark and it’s cold
But now there’s no doubt in my tiny mind that you’ll come back for me

‘Cause now I see
You had always trusted me
I’m a roaring dragon, I’m a raging storm
And you’ll come back to set me free
All I did was splash around, because it’s all I knew to do
But now I’m gonna evolve for you
Just for you

I'VE LOST IT. I have completely lost my damn mind.

You see, I accidentally thought of the little idea of making a song for every Pokemon. I thought "Ha, yeah, it would be cool if that was possible". Then, a few minutes later, it hit me in the face like a flaming train on fire covered in napalm on fire. With rocket engines. On fire.

I realized I have the time, and the motivation. I wrote the Magikarp song in a total of about four hours. But evolutions are so similar... It wouldn't really make sense to do separate songs about Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur.

So I decided to do a song for every evolutionary line.

That's 77 songs. Just about half as much as if I did one for every Pokemon.

Well, time to get started. I've already had things running through my head for the Charmander line, so that'll probably come next. I'm guessing this'll take something around two years if I stay motivated (which I doubt), probably three or more. Hell, I don't know if this forum will still be up by then. That's quite a depressing thought. But once I finish the entire series, I can sell a CD of it and make some decent profit.

Well... anyone feel like practicing their composing skills?
