Well, the breakdown in "How I Became the Sea" samples "Cave In", so I thought it would be neat to actually try segueing that breakdown into "Cave In". The result could've been better, I think, but it's kinda cool. :P

Lyrics:

June was the lobster shell I dug by hand
A haven that hid me well beneath the sand
The wide, windy waves washed in, but I stayed dry
The great breakers broke again as I nodded off inside

And then when the Empress ran aground and my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound and that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in, when the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again, and that's how I became the sea

I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly turned
And I brought the oceanside to its rusty knees
As I felt the eventide deep in my shallow dreams

And then when the Empress ran aground and my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound and that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in, when the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again, and that's how I became the sea

Please take a long hard look through your textbook, 'cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone, 'cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change in my bedroll
'Cause riding a dirtbike down a turnpike always takes its toll on me

I've had just about enough of, quote, 'diamonds in the rough', because my backbone is paper-thin
Get me outta this cavern or I'll cave in (I'll cave in, I'll cave in)
And if the bombs go off the sun will still be shining (sun will still be shining)
Because you've heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
(Though I'm always undermining too deep to know)

Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop, 'cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound, try to sleep on the wet ground, I'll get ten minutes give or take
'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy when cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me outta this cavern or I'll cave in (cave in, cave in)
(Get me outta this cavern or I'll cave in)

I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in (in case my head caves in)
'Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps it'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track (so I stay on track)
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away, then I'll take my leave, and I won't even look back

I won't even look back

Da da da da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da da da

This is What you call a Medley.

[Supertails90]

@Rainalon78 You're right, I couldn't think of the word at the time. Changed accordingly. Thanks! :D

[ThePhobiaCrew]

nice transition. sounded weird for a second but then my mind got blown.

[Supertails90]

@ThePhobiaCrew Thank you! Hehe, I appreciate that more than I can say! It did sound a bit funny at first.

[kenzieboy8]

the transition is pretty awesome! good job!!

[Supertails90]

@kenzieboy8 Thank you! It was fun to match up! :D

[ianokamotochannel]

Amazingly done! I always found it a bit strange how the instrumentals sounded similar in some parts, so I'm glad someone compiled them! Great video.

[IgShavkunoff]

smells like sea )) miss it ))

[IzzyWildcat]

Some of my two favorite songs by Owl City (my favorite artist)! Amazing transition! Very clean and classy.

[JackTM53Synopsis]

this is really well done :)

[CauseAndCatastrophe]

Huh. I guess I was expecting something more other than that one transition between the two songs. Certainly wasn't bad, but it certainly sounded a bit strange too. I appreciate the effort though, because both songs are awesome. Not too shabby!

[LinkfreakGrayon]

Both songs make me want to go to the nearest beach....

[ThePandandamovies]

0,0 so.... epic...
