We were swallowin’ the nights like we had nine lives
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
Medicatin’ every day to keep the straightness in order
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
It’s the false side of hope where believers concede
And there’s only memories when it’s over
So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Of your life

Okay, second to last in this series we’ve got Old Fashioned, one of my three absolute favorite songs from this album and just one of my favorite Panic! songs in general! And since I couldn’t with the last one, how about we capitalize on the depressing parts of this song instead? …Look, I don’t actually like to think up headcanons or ideas about lifespans in MLP. Like, it’s just too much of a bummer for a show like that. For me MLP is a happy fandom, so I prefer to leave that part of the future in the future, y’know? …Buuuuut at the same time, in my nextgen ‘verse, Celestia, Discord, and Zecora are married in a poly relationship. Celestia and Discord are immortal beings, and Zecora is not… don’t worry, those poison joke flowers were specially bred to not be harmful, over a few hundred years…
