It's interesting that Dirk's themes are actually quite subdued and a little depressing, like this one, and Sweet Dreams, Timaeus. His songs are mysterious and a little lonely sounding, it capture his sort of longing for the past really well.

A young man, alone, looked out his window. Before him laid an endless ocean, the same dull, glittering blue as always. This sea covered up decrepit cities once full of people. People like him. Humans. Friendly people, lost in conversation. Innocent people. Wearing coats because they sometimes felt cold. Holding hands because they liked to be together. Feeling concrete beneath their feet, and if they walked far enough, grass. There were once trees, too, plants, before the Earth became nothing but ocean. Those people, once thriving in the city far below, had been gone for decades. All life was gone. Sometimes, the youth tried to see a skyscraper below the water, maybe even a highway. Other times, he was tempted to jump in even though he didn't know how to swim and would surely drown. He wanted to see a car. Perhaps a restaurant. He wanted to hear a dog bark. He wanted to run up an actual, real hill. He wondered what grass smelled like. Did it smell at all like the salt water below him, or maybe perhaps like the orange flavored soda he always drank? He wondered what real oranges tasted like. It was a bit ironic how he knew what imitation orange tasted like, but not the real thing. But the water never answered him, and the sun never revealed much in the way of anything. So he popped another disk into his television to get a taste of the civilization beneath him. If only he could meet someone from those days, when planes flew and books were written. Where children were born and taken home in little bundles by their parents. If only.

I think it's fascinating how this song employs a _weaker_ adaptation of the arpeggios from Flare. It's beautiful, but compared to the original it feels empty, like someone is playing it without really understanding what made the original so haunting. And for a Dirk song, that absence of empathy is more heartbreaking than anything else I can imagine. To be clear, I love it.

Okay but imagine Dirk finds a scuba suit, or more so, Sawtooth finds one and gives it to Dirk. Dirk, longing to learn about his people dives into the water, swimming down. He sees cars rusted, some still with kids seats in them. He sees the dull remains of his Bro's movie billboard and below it a department store. He swims inside the building, finding old water rotted toys in a toy shop and in a jewelry store he sees all sorts of rings and necklaces suspended in the water. Dirk swims through the sunken streets into a house, the TV is waterlogged and the couches have rotted away. In the bedroom he finds a water tight safe. using all his strength he swims to the surface with the safe, Sawtooth grabbing it and placing it on the roof as Dirk climbs back up, cracking open the safe. Inside is a time capsule of sorts. There is a letter addressed to anyone who's still alive, it tells the story of how the Condesce rose to power on 2x3 prong day. It tells of how two rebels rose to power, one of them named Strider, the other Lalonde. The letter says that Strider left his entire legacy to his future son who would be born through the Condesce' new breeding program and he along with three other children would change the world. Dirk tears up at this, looking at the objects in the safe. One catches his eyes, a bracelet, far too small for an adult or teenager, with a name engraved on it. It belonged to a little girl.

I listened to this song on repeat while writing a little introspection on Dirk's character a couple years ago. I've come back into Homestuck music recently, and coming across this one, even after all the times I've repeated it and should've gotten bored with it and didn't is so heartbreaking to still feel how much this song hurts. It's just so... lonely. It's desperate and anxious, those parts that Dirk conceals with his humor, bluntness, and the way he pushes away his feelings. It hurts every time to listen to it and to read the title of the song. Hussie's portrayal of him as a character never ceases to blow my mind because of how well he's written, and this song is living proof.

(Late response is late) Austin is the state capital of Texas, which is in America. Dirk and Dave live in Texas, somewhere in either Austin, Texas, or Houston, Texas. The name of the song is called "Austin, Atlantis", because in Dirk's timeline, most of Earth's civilization is underwater, and the city of Atlantis, is rumored to be a city that sunk, and was lost.

Your family, friends, that one person you always see at the coffee shop, old teachers, everyone and everything you love is now gone. What is there left to do now? There is no sense in living a life without sharing that life with someone else, no sense in making yourself feel good when there isn't someone else you can cheer up as well, no sense. Nonsense.

@PanBelacqua

I think what people don't click with about the Epilogues a lot of the time is that Dirk knows this. Dirk isn't the villain because he's "a bad guy", Dirk is the villain because of his self-loathing. He wants the story to go on, but his perception of himself means that any plans he comes up with place him in the role of antagonist. Ultimately, I don't think he will be. There are greater forces out there, like "Skaia's malevolent tendrils", and the dissipation of meaning in the wake of a canonical existence, that the characters will have to contend with.
