MathematicPony | Dealbreaker (Redux) // Original MLP Song — MathematicPony @MathematicPony | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Hey friends!
Today I have a redux of one of my very early pony songs: Dealbreaker. This one means a lot to me, and I think it’s one of the best comparisons for how much I’ve grown as a musician since the original. I hope you enjoy it!
As usual, YouTube likes to compress audio badly unless you’re watching this video at a higher resolution, such as 1440p!

(Once again, apple is incredibly confused about the naming scheme of my Redux version, hahahahaha. Okay, “Dealbreaker (Redux) [Redux]” I guess you get two sets of brackets with the version in them as the album title for some reason? 😂)

::::: LYRICS :::::
(Verse 1)
I'm catching my breath
Is this my final test?
I'm at my wit's end, you've taken my friends
My reason for living you now possess
You're staring me down
The greed in your eyes wants the crown
You smirk, say it's a fair trade
All my power to keep my friends safe
I see it in their eyes
They'd rather their demise
Than risk the safety of the world
But I couldn't live if I let them get hurt
(Prechorus 1)
They tell me not to do it
They say we'll get through it
We'll find another way
But I can't take that risk
and I hope for their forgiveness
I turn and I say
(Chorus 1)
I have to give it up
My power isn't enough
But my love for them is greater
My magic can't be the dealbreaker
I know I'm defying the plan
But please try to understand
You saved me from myself
I can't let this be farewell
They have to be safe first
Nothing can be a dealbreaker
(Verse 2)
I can see it in their eyes
The light that shines right through
Tells me that I'm right
And that we'll be okay if I have you
It's a tense negotiation
Save my friends but risk the nation
But it's the only thing available
I can't just let you take them
(Prechorus 2)
They look at me with sadness
Like I've lead the world to madness
But I know I've made the right choice
But you've kept one more
You ask me if I'm sure that I want the traitor
But I tell you that he's a dealbreaker
(Chorus 2)
I have to give it up
My power isn't enough
But my love for them is greater
My magic can't be the deal breaker
I know I'm defying the plan
But please try to understand
You saved me from myself
I can't let this be farewell
They have to be safe first
Nothing can be a dealbreaker
(Bridge)
This is it, I’ve seen the light
One last fight, it’s down to this
But in their eyes, I see their love
And It's enough, we'll win this time
I feel it in my heart
Letting go was the key to playing my part
Loyalty bound to a shot in the dark
Weight of the world but our shoulders are strong
And I know that this is
Not what I was told by the princess
But there’s more to this than the magic I carry inside
My friends must be safe first
Nothing can be a dealbreaker
(Chorus 3)
I had to give it up
My power wasn't enough
But our friendship is greater
My magic was not the dealbreaker
With friends here by my side
We all have the strength to fight
They saved me from myself
I swear this won't be farewell
They have to be safe first
Nothing can be a dealbreaker
