Once upon a thrill, from a kiss to a swill  
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…
