Special Boss (songs)

Special Boss is a title given to two tracks found in Spark the Electric Jester 1 and 2 respectively, with both being composed performed by Andy Tunstall and being associated with Fark.

Background
The tracks are generally associated with Fark, with the lyrics of the songs having detailed characterizations of the character. The songs display Fark's current views on himself, with the former displaying his inferiority complex, wishing he had the qualities of Spark, while the latter is showcasing his conflicted feelings on his newly discovered identity. The first game's special boss theme plays in Fark's exclusive boss fights against Freom's virus, and this track returns as the first boss theme in the sequel, before being essentially replaced in the later parts of the game. The sequel's special boss theme plays after a major reveal in Spark 2 's story, the revelation that Fark is Freom's creation, and plays in Double's boss fight and beyond.

Lyrics
I get the feeling something, something is burning up inside

I hear a heavy door slam, and cover all my doubt with pride

Keep the demons dormant, seal them tight just like my fate

Until there's nothing (nothing, nothing), there's nothing left for them to take...

[Undecipherable whispering]

You're made of everything I'm not 

I want the qualities you've got 

I made a promise to myself to be the better yellow one 

You take it all too seriously, ignore the truth and lose the key 

I'm just a pawn and you are free

Ignore the truth and lose the key...

Somebody told me that my free will was a lie 

So I pushed the questions down and doused the fear inside 

Yet I can't forgive myself, my innocence is through 

But with every obstacle I crush I'll get to you...

[instrumental]

Lyrics
I feel an emptiness within (Acidic, churning void of sin)

Confusion clawing at my shell (A product doomed to burn in hell)

When I'm on the throne, you'll know my name,

With iron fists, I'll rule with flame.

Drink up, fall down

Breathe in, burn out.

One day I'll wear another face!

That's when I'll take my rightful place, yeah!

(So I'm crushing everything that's in my path,

I don't care for walls, I don't care for wrath,

now I guess that my soul is rusted shut,

I've got no time for pain from a rival's cuts)

Now you got me, now you got me,

Backed into a corner with nowhere left to run!

Now you got me, now you got me,

Backed into a corner and I know this is gonna be fun!

Bow down before the rightful heir!

Bow down before I steal your air, yeah!

Trivia

 * The whispers in Spark 1's Special Boss theme contain coherent sentences that are normally hard to hear over the instrumentals, and can still be difficult to hear even with extracting the vocals. The first round of whispers between the first and second verses sound like someone observing and questioning their surroundings, with phrases such as "The sky is blue", and "What is reality?". The second round of whispers after the main lyrics end and before it loops contain a message encouraging listeners to support the developer and buy the game.
