Another instrumental for B.I.'s ode to Athena Asamiya. From B.I.'s solo project, "When Hot Blood Runs Cold".

Story behind the song
95% the same track as the original instrumental; I didn't like the way the chorus was in the original version so I retooled it. It's pretty much the same though.
Lyrics
Fightin' for my cause without a pause, no turnin' back
I scarred a pop star who wasn't deservin' of my wrath
Never jealous, but often zealous against the mainstream
Red eyes of anger couldn't see she was really on the same team
You know the one -- star in the hairband, violet's her haircolor
New outfit every year, new hairstyle every other
Named after a Greek goddess, wearin' her style with authority
Around the country her legions of fans worship her accordingly
I dissed her on record blatantly, callin' her a new half
People I didn't even know even dissed her for a few laughs
It went too far, she walked around distressed over these rumors
About what she has tucked away in the confines of her bloomers
An inside joke I never thought would spread started beef
With an innocent girl to whom I gave a lot of grief
A guy like myself isn't known to forgive, or forget or apologize
But to my surprise, she caught me off guard
Lookin' at me with those idol eyes
Strider's Scratch:
"Atena no sugata" (Psycho Soldier Team theme, 97 Arranged Version)
"You mean more to me" (Commodores, "Painted Picture")
"Terashidasu no" (Psycho Soldier Team theme, 97 Arranged Version)
"More to me" (Commodores, "Painted Picture")
To this girl I felt no remorse for the things I said
In her face I often demeaned her instead
Then something a little strange started to happen
She found out I'd seen some hard times so she started taggin'
along, askin' me questions, pokin' and proddin' and pesterin'
for an answer I wouldn't give no matter how much she was pressurin'
When she toured near my home, she wanted me in her room at the hotel
All the while I'm thinkin' to myself "Girl, what the hell?"
It made no sense, all this sudden concern
Out of the blue when I always was mean to her, and then I would learn
She was out for a truth that even I couldn't decipher
The things that embittered me and made me a miser
Long before my time, and though she'd pout, push, tug and shove me
When I teased her directly, she'd use it as an excuse to hug me
What about that, a girl not trying to cause my demise
Guess there's really some sincerity in those idol eyes
Strider's Scratch
Time has passed, beef's over, I see she's got interest
In somebody, that'd cause her more trouble than benefit
On the low, or maybe not, I see somebody that really likes her
Worships her like a lovesick fan, but the love is unrequited/Her
Eyes are on the other guy for reasons I can't understand
They start to see each other, but things are slowly getting out of hand
She confides in me that maybe she'll let him stay the night
I told her, "EH EH!!" without thinkin', and tried to steer her right
She and the guy never made it, but now I hear that she's got her mouth
all over that of another guy from an inquiring acquaintance
I could never understand, how the life of the idol is shorter
Than the actual lifespan, so I continue to support her
Be less hard on her, no longer tease, berate or quarrel
Athena, this is your story, so you tell me the moral
Keep those tears out of your idol eyes
Strider's Scratch
