I'm The Map, I'm The Map, I'm The Map

Liner Notes

From my "Game On" EP. A series of songs that are lyrically inspired by video games, but not musically. This one basically sums up my feelings on the map system in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (1996). During my Let's Play series on my Youtube channel, my greatest nemesis was the map system and getting lost in dungeons. So, we're airing those frustrations here.

I think we're gonna go kind of pop-punk with this one.

DEMO IN PROGRESS

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
"Hey Alexis. Go fetch me a trinket. It should take a couple of days"
No problem. I'm excited and ready to go. This is one of my most anticipated let's plays
I've got my blade, and I've got my night, and this bitch knows how to fight
I'll just walk through the door and...
...
Damn. This place is huge.

(Pre-Chorus)
No problem, I'll just consult my handy dandy map!
...

(Chorus)
I'm lost, I'm tired. This shit is positively frustrating
Trying to find my way through this place but my GPS keeps recalculating
Left is right, up is down, everything looks the same
WHY THE HELL IS THIS MAP SO FUCKING LAME?!

(Verse 2)
I feel like I've been down this hall before
How many times have I walked through this door?
Did I kill that bat or was it like that when I got here?
My supplies are running out, and I'm starting to stock up on fear

(Pre-Chorus)
No problem, I'll just consult my handy dandy map!
...

(Chorus)
I'm lost, I'm tired. This shit is positively frustrating
Trying to find my way through this place but my GPS keeps recalculating
Left is right, up is down, everything looks the same
WHY THE HELL IS THIS MAP SO FUCKING LAME?!

(Bridge)
My light is going dim, my potions are running low
My 8 swords are broken, there were so many skeletons in this burrow
I fell down a hole, and my dumb ass saved after the fall
And to make things worse, I forgot to stop by the Mages Guild and buy recall

(Pre-Chorus)
No problem, I'll just consult my handy dandy map!
...

(Chorus)
I'm lost, I'm tired. This shit is positively frustrating
Trying to find my way through this place but my GPS keeps recalculating
Left is right, up is down, everything looks the same
WHY THE HELL IS THIS MAP SO FUCKING LAME?!

...
No problem, I'll just die, I guess.
