Mind Over Monsters (Armin)

Yeah...

They never saw me comin'…

Armin Arlert. The mind that moved mountains.

Wasn’t born with muscle, wasn’t bred for war,

Just a bookworm dreamin’ of a distant shore.

Watched the sky while the Titans roared,

Lost my innocence when blood hit the floor.

Mee-kah-sah fought, Eren would scream,

I just read maps, chased a dream.

But fate don’t wait on the weak or clean,

So I sharpened my will, made my mind a machine.

Burnt my skin on the day I died,

Still came back with fire in my eyes.

Commander Arlert, strategies tight,

You ain’t winnin’ shit when I plan the fight.

I don’t need fists—I wage war with thoughts,

Calculated chaos in every plot.

Let the Titans stomp and the soldiers rot,

I’ll rewrite fate from the battles they fought.

You think I flinch when the cost is steep?

I sent friends to hell, then cried in my sleep.

Took Bertholdt’s power, now I reap

All the guilt that he buried deep.

Conscience heavy, decisions cold,

But I never fold when the lines get bold.

Even in flames, my story’s told

As the boy who turned intellect gold.

Truth hurts worse than a Titan’s bite,

But I peeled it back in the darkest night.

Led Mee-kah-sah and Eren right

To the edge of dawn, with no end in sight.

I don’t need fists—I wage war with thoughts,

Calculated chaos in every plot.

Let the Titans stomp and the soldiers rot,

I’ll rewrite fate from the battles they fought.

Yeah, I killed kids—I made that call.

Chose the future, let the past fall.

Cried my tears behind a steel wall,

But I kept walkin’, head held tall.

Now I’m the monster that they fear and trust,

Brains over brawn, do what I must.

From coward to commander, rose from dust,

Swallowed my fear, never gave in to lust.

Eren’s gone… Mee-kah-sah still fights,

But I hold the weight in sleepless nights.

In every silence and dim twilight,

I build tomorrow with words that bite.

Yeah… Mind over monsters.

I ain’t no hero, I ain’t no god—

Just a soldier who chose to think,

When the world went mad with odds.
