"I'm The Mother Now" | Rapunzel's Twisted Song (A Tangled AU) | Lyrics

Mother knows best… and now I'm mother, don't you see? 🥀 In a twisted reality where Rapunzel never truly healed from her trauma, she now imprisons Eugene Fitzherbert in their tower "for his own good". This dark AU explores what happens when the victim adopts the terrifying methods of their abuser, believing it to be an act of love. Tangled is definitely one of my faves from the modern Disney era, so it's been a long time coming for this. So many different routes to go down, so I hope you enjoy the one I chose to delve into ;) Shout out to: @KWinters89 @SnowLily-c8h @Carlieesmera @ondinacorona1318 @MartinAmdor Character: Rapunzel (Villain AU) Universe/Franchise: Tangled Genres / Musical Motifs: Distorted Music Box, Carnival Waltz, Dark-Electronic, Psychological Horror, Eerie Vocals 🎵 Original Song by MythicTune 🎤 Concept, Visuals & Lyrics by MythicTune 🔔 Subscribe for more twisted tales → @MythicTune 💬 If Rapunzel had this conversation with Gothel, what advice would Gothel give her? --- ⚠ No re-uploads.

Just rest today The kingdom's full of thieves You know how much I worry when My precious husband leaves I've painted over all the windows (The sun was much too bright) I've locked the doors to keep you safe (Three locks should be just right) Mother knows best, that's what she said And maybe she was right The world's too cruel for gentle souls So stay here in my light I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you sound I'll keep you here with me Mother knows best, after all And now I'm mother, don't you see? Remember how you saved me once? Climbed up my golden hair? Well now it's wrapped around our home You're safe within my care! "But Rapunzel, I need air," you say Just like I used to plead But flower gleam and glow, my love You have everything you need "Rapunzel, please, you're scaring me" "Oh, I'm just teasing!" "You can't keep me locked in here" "It's for your own good, really!" Wait... what am I saying? No, no, I'm protecting him! From plague, from swords, from broken hearts From light that grows too dim! I spent eighteen years in a tower! I know what's safe, what's right! I'm nothing like her—nothing! I'm saving him from blight! See how I've painted our life on the walls? A perfect world in here No Flynn Riders, no thieves at all Just us, year after year after year after— Stop trying to leave... I've cut my hair to just the length To reach from roof to floor You used to climb it up to me Now it just blocks the door I sing the healing incantation While you sleep in your chain— I mean, your bed! Your cozy bed! Where you'll always remain Mother knows best, and now I know Exactly what she meant The world will hurt the ones we love Unless we don't relent I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you mine Forever you'll be free Mother knows best, after all And I'm the mother now, you see? Eugene? Eugene, where are you going? The door's locked for a reason! "Don't ever ask to leave this tower again." I mean... please don't leave me... I just want to protect you... The way she protected me... Mother knows best...
