CHARACTER PLAYLISTS !!
heres a collection of lyrics that remind of certain characters and uhhh yeah :))
PRINCESS ELODY OF GREENLEIGH
All Things End - Hozier
> The last time I felt your weight on my chest, you said / "We didn't get it right but, love, we did our best"> And all things end / All that we intend is scrawled in sand / Or slips right through our hands
> I have never known a silence like the one fallen here / Never watched my future darken in a single tear / I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault / But we've gone long enough to know this isn't what we want / And that isn't always bad
> When people say that something is forever / Either way, it ends
Alone And Sublime - Mother Mother
> Aren’t I supposed to wanna fight for love? / And life? / Everything that people say is right? / Am I so wrong to cry only when there’s something in my eye? / Am I to die alone and sublime?> I threw a pebble in a stream / And let it go about as easily as love that might prosper / All the things they sing about in gospels. / Am I so awful, to stumble only when I’m walking with another? / Is it a blunder to die alone and sublime?
> [aroace elody for the win]
Arson Eyes - ROAR
> This is how I built a mountain with my failed attempts to love you / It became the color dust, and like a copper fox on rust, would hide too> Arson eyes / See a world / Made of paper
Astronomy - Conan Gray
> As much as it seems like you own my heart / It's astronomy, we're two worlds apart> From far away, I wish I'd stayed with you / But here, face to face, a stranger that I once knew / I thought, if I wandered, I'd fall back in love / You said, "Distance brings fondness", but guess not with us / The only mistake that we didn't make was run / (Now look what we've done)
> Stop trying to keep us alive / You're pointing at stars in the sky that already died / Stop trying to keep us alive / You can't force the stars to align when they've already died / Oh, we've died, ooh-oh-oh
Awkward Conversations - late night drive home
> I'm tryna talk to you, but your friends are too loud / Just between us two, I'm happy we made it out / Look at the change, we've grown apart, and now I'm in your way> It hurts a little less knowing you'll be okay / I will try my best to keep a level head
> I wish you would've stayed / I'll let you go, it's time for me to move on / I'll be the first one, both of us will be gone / I wish you would've stayed
> I know we both cried, you'll be happy tonight, as I'm not here to stay
Coming Back to Me - Leith Ross
> Last week, I wondered if dying would feel like the stories the Catholic Church told / But I used to talk to my mother about how I just couldn’t wait to get old> [also just the general feeling of realising that instead of viewing the world with the child-like wonder that you had as a kid, you now view the world with a sour cynicism]
Coming of Age - Olive Klug
> I swore that I'd be done by now / But I need another year or two / To finish developing my mind> It's like my pen is stuck to the last page / And I can't finish my damn coming of age
> I can't focus drawing doodles on the page / Of this never ever ever ever ever ever / Ever ever ever ever ever ever ending / Coming of age
doomsday - Lizzy Mcalpine
> Pull the plug, make it painless / I don’t want a violent end / Don’t say that you’ll always love me / ‘Cause you know I’d bleed myself dry for you over and over again> I don’t get a choice in the matter / Why would I? It’s only the death of me
Eight - Sleeping at Last
> I was just a kid who grew up strong enough / To pick this armor up / And suddenly it fit> I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive / And I grew up too quick
> When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things / I see the familiar / I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too / Now I’m a broken mirror
> I’m standing guard, I’m falling apart / And all I want is to trust you / Show me how to lay my sword down / For long enough to let you through
> I’m just a kid who grew up scared enough / To hold the door shut / And bury my innocence
> I'ma shake the ground with all my might / And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface / For the innocent, for the vulnerable / And I’ll show up on the front lines with a purpose / And I’ll give all I have, I’ll give my blood, give my sweat / An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken / I’m shattered porcelain, glued back together again / Invincible like I’ve never been
Hate Yourself - TV Girl
> I’d think you’d fall in love with anyone / Who fell in love with you> So take comfort / Cruel comfort / Before you start to wonder / How you got locked inside your room
> Do you let them down, gently? / Does it only make it harder? / To let the feeling linger / To drag it out a little longer / Does it put your mind at ease? / But you’re the one who brought 'em here / You’re the one who has to take them when you leave / And how long will it… / Take? / Before you start to hate yourself
Hold On, Hold You - Wild Child
> Ring the alarm and call both our fathers / I'll take the blame if you start to cry / One more broken heart won't make this life harder / Lord knows you can't say I don't try> So feel my lungs burst and my rib cage split / My broken heart takes just one more hit
> We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever / So please let me hold you for a while
I Can't Feel (My Body) - Ally Evenson
> But, oh, I'm resentful but content / I'm so married to the way that I feel / But how am I supposed to feel?> Could I be different all together? / Next time, I'll be better
> I don't hear what I should / I see only make-believe / Stories with bad endings where the savior leaves / Don't leave
I Don't Love You Anymore - Ricky Montgomery
> I don't love you anymore / And it just dawned on me this morning / I don't feel it anymore / I hope you don't mind me leavin'> Oh, baby won't you stay with me, just one more day? / Oh, baby please, don't cry, don't cry / And don't kiss me goodbye / Oh, baby don't call me baby no more
I Guess - Mitski
> It’s been you and me / Since before I was me / Without you, I don’t yet know / Quite how to live> It’s still as a pond / I am staring into / From here, I can say / Thank you / From here, I can tell you / Thank you
Inkpot Gods - The Amazing Devil
> And what you see is not the dark / It’s just the gods upturning ink pots 'cause they know what you’ll become> And to those gods, I will speak bluntly / “We’ve an accord, if you ever touch or harm him / Please, rest assured that you might not fear a man / But to a woman, by the end, you’ll kneel and plea / 'Cause I’m more than what my mum told me to be”
> And I can hear him break / And he doesn’t understand / And I wish that I could take his hand / But where I’m going is for me and me alone
> If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone / Just know I loved you all along
Lily Pad On Your Doorstep - Don't Stop Or We'll Die
> You kissed a frog / I know it, I just know it> [this song is very jokey and i have it on the playlist mostly for jokes]
Me and My Husband - Mitski
> But me and my husband / We’re doing better / It’s always been just him and me / Together / So I bet all I have on that / Furrowed brow / And at least in this lifetime / We’re sticking together / Me and my husband / We’re sticking togetherPhantom - Rina Sawayama
> Once upon a time / There was a girl, pleasing the world / Dying to be liked, looking for love / Wanting to trust> If I could talk to you, I'd tell you not to rush / You're good enough / You don't have to lose, what makes you you / Still got some growing to do / When did we get so estranged / Haunted by the way I've changed / Claiming back the pieces of me that I've lost
> Inner child, come back to me, I want to tell you that I'm sorry / I'm sorry
Savior Complex - Phoebe Bridgers
> I drag you to the shore / Sweating through the heat / You’re gonna drown in your sleep / For sure / Wake up and start a big fire / In our one room apartment / But I’m too tired / To have a pissing contest> I’m a bad liar / With a savior complex
> [i really just hc that elody has a big saviour complex]
Screams and Dreams - Faye
> And I guess this is the way it ends / And there’s no point in staying friends / And I remember when you told me that you loved me / Little did I know and little did I say / You were over your head and I hadn’t yet said / What’s true in our heart> So I wish upon a star / And I promise I’ll go far / And I close my eyes at once / And I hear a thousand songs
> [mostly just added the “wish upon a star” part because it makes me think of fairy tales, and elody is, in fact, a fairy tale herself]
Show You a Body - Haley Heynderickx
> I am letting you go / I am letting you go / I am letting you go awry> It was more a mirage / In sickness and health
> [all the other lyrics fit elody in a more vibe-y way than a literal way]
Slow Down - Laufey
> I wish it would slow down / Even for a second / I’m so old now / Left my adolescence> Think I found somebody / But don’t think that it’s love
Squaring Up - Sir Chloe
> I said I don't want love / But you just won't give up / Don't want to waste my time / On a feeling, but you're not listening> I know that you want to break my heart of stone / You sure are good looking but I'll be going home alone tonight
The Night We Met - Lord Huron
> I had all and then most of you / Some and now none of you / Take me back to the night we met / I don’t know what I’m supposed to do / Haunted by the ghost of you / Oh, take me back to the night we metTwo Slow Dancers - Mitski
> It’s funny how they’re all the same / It’s funny how you always remember / And we’ve both done it all a hundred times before / It’s funny how I still forgot / It would be a hundred times easier / If we were young againWhat Was I Made For? - Billie Eilish
> 'Cause I, I / I don't know how to feel / But I wanna try / I don't know how to feel / But someday, I might> When did it end? All the enjoyment / I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend / It's not what he's made for
> Think I forgot how to be happy
When - Dodie
> I think I’ve been telling lies / 'Cause I’ve never been in love> Sure, I’ll live in the moment / But I’m never happy here
> Memories painted with much brighter ink / They tell me I loved, teach me how to think

> [aroace elody for the win pt2]

EVAN KELMP
Afraid - ROAR
> Every single thing / You try to hold will / Fade like a dying ember / Grasping like a foal / Thrown in the water / You will refuse surrender> Taken by a light / With pitiless eyes / You were afraid of leaving / Bones are razed in time / I hope you'll find a / Lull that feels like breathing
Autoclave - The Mountain Goats
> Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes / As my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize / Maybe it's the heat in here, maybe it's the pressure / You ought to head for the exits, the sooner, the better> I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam / And no one in her right mind would make my home her home / My heart's an autoclave
> I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls / On a cliff above the ocean, howling wind and shrieking seagulls / And the dream went on forever, one single static frame / Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name
Boy Toy - Ricky Montgomery
> I've been going through changes / And I feel so elated / To be here in your big blue world / I know I'm not your favorite / But I like when you say it / I don't need you to be my girl> But I'll be your boy toy / You don't need to tell me twice / I'll be your boy toy / You don't need to be so nice / I'm no fun / But at least I'm not as sad as I used to be
> I'll be your boy toy if you like / And by the way you look at me I think you might / I'll be your boy toy
Chicken Noodle - Small Crush
> Chicken noodle on my shirt / All my shoes are filled with dirt / Haven't done my laundry in a week / How many friendships can I keep?> I am not self sufficient / All my apples have worms in them / I spill milk everywhere / When was the last time I brushed my hair?

> My breath's gettin' short and I'm unsteady / Wellin' up in tears as I lay upon your belly / Telling you I'm fine / I don't really need nobody / But you say through a sigh / That I said that lie already> We rot, thinkin' lots about nothing / Yeah, I could spend a lifetime / Sitting here talkin' / And even if I cry all over your body / You don't really mind / Say you like your shirt soggy
> We mess around / And laugh too loud / And make the sounds / We try to hide when people are around / By blood we're bound / Through ups and downs / Their smiles and pouts / Comfort crowd / You can always count
Dancing - Sonic Sea Turtles
> It's okay / It's all going to hell / But, I / I'm happy now / I've been getting older / Feel like I can dance / With the world on my shoulders> I feel like I'm gonna break / I don't know how much more I can take / Everything's falling down

Dinner Is Not Over - Jack Stauber
> You said something's wrong / And I can say the same to you / Broken over and over again / What else can I do?> I've tasted friendship (Ha-ha) / I've tasted you (Oh no!) / I've tasted dying and it tasted good! / I've tasted heartbreak (Wah) / I've tasted food (Uh oh) / I've tasted dying and it tasted good!
Dream - ROAR
> I should be making you happy / Lord knows I'm trying / But the things you can't see / Make it harder to breathe> You can't see the forest / If the trees never stop burning / Sounds like a joke when told to me / I should be learning / Feeling ashamed of an empty threat / "I can still change if I want to"
> No one else can help you / No one else can help you / No one else can help you

> Today has a way of scarring your eyes / With negative light, but it's a disguise / I put on my shades and see through the lies / The convenient truth is / Light is on the way, we'll be having a fun time / It's such a lovely day, we should pocket the sunshine / And never give it back, even if there's a heat wave> I know (I know) / That every bomb has a silver lining / I know (I know) / It won't be long until / Everything works out nice in the end
> I go for a walk, the sidewalk is cracked / I'm not superstitious, but I made a pact / With old Mother Earth, she'd get off my back / If I get off hers

First Love / Late Spring - Mitski

Flightless Bird - ROAR
> When you're a flightless bird with wings / Sometimes the humor of a bitter god just loses all its novelty> Replaying the gory scene incessantly / Forgot the safe word was "imaginary" / Forgot about my poor selective memory
> Means that never reach an end / That's what you get for living in your head / You breathe 3 A.M. breath / And tell yourself that this is for the best / You tell yourself that this is for the best
frown - mxmtoon
> Yeah, the world's got its worries / Life's got us all in a hurry / Stuck on a loop overthinkin' all of our pain / It's okay to frown, smile upside down / Feeling kinda blue like the sky right now / No way (no way), we're gonna work it out / It's a feelin' that I'm havin', and I'll have it right now / It comes and goes away / In time, my scars will fade / The look that's on my face / Is temporarily upside down / It's okay to frownGoodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
> This boy's too young to be singing / The blues, ah, ah / So goodbye yellow brick road / Where the dogs of society howl / You can't plant me in your penthouse / I'm going back to my plough> Oh, I've finally decided my future lies / Beyond the yellow brick road
Heart for Brains - ROAR
> Heart-for-brains, you should have known / Take a seat with the weak / But, stand up for me, stand up for me / Mercilessly slaughtering> Life's hard when you're soft / You've got our love

Hope - ROAR

> What's it like to be alone on a Sunday / Remembering the time you saw them just yesterday? / Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts / I could listen to you all night long / And I don't care about my sleeping routine / I fucked it up as it is, but we've got so much time to kill / As the night rocks me to sleep> don't care about what people think of me / I'm fucked up as it is, but we've got so much time to kill / And so many things to see / Life's too short / To worry about things that we got wrong / So hug all your friends and let them know / You're not letting go / No, I won't let go, oh
> You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all / When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone / And it's nothing I can't change / But I can't breathe anymore / I forgot how to walk by myself / I could do with a little more of your help
I Can't Handle Change - ROAR
> Hangin' out where I don't belong is nothing new to me / I get tired, and I get sick, and then I lose the strength to leave> Nothing I do is ever good / Nothing I do is ever good enough / Nothing I do is ever good

> And are you pretty or handsome / My words are on ransom / Are you dashing or gorgeous / My vocab's atrocious
I Want To Be With You - chloe moriondo
> Say what you mean, I wanna be with you> I can't take it / All I want's right in front of me / I can't fake this / Say what you mean, I wanna be with you
> And it's almost unnatural how lame I act around you / Give me a chance to say what I mean
Just A Fan - ROAR
> Reach in my chest and do your best / To locate a heart in this pitiful mess> But I'm lucky to be here / Cause I know it's good that we fit just like we should

Love Is Gross - Sushi Soucy
> What is this feeling I have for you, it's like / Like I'm barely breathing, and my lungs fall through / Someone please bring me an aspirin or an Advil for the pounding in my head / Am I dead? / What am I doing? I can not fall in love / With a human who only thinks of themselves / This is ridiculous I need to get ahold of myself / Before I melt / What is this feeling? It's loveM - Pops Tuna
> You're so cool in your platform shoes / Still shorter than me when you wear them too / Its cute when you say / I don't have to change> Just gotta figure this out / I just gotta figure this out / You're so cool in your platform shoes / But you'd still look better with me next to you

> This life is punctuated by some missteps / Failing to glean the right emphasis and the meaning / This life is punctuated like a texting session / Between two overheated, insecure teens> Trembling jaws can't stop stuttering / I can't see you when I need to / How am I supposed to get through?
Pumpkin - The Regrettes
> I used to think that Romeo was full of shit / And The Notebook was just my favorite chick flick / But now I get why Sarah was so hard to forget / Is this feeling that I'm feeling, I need more than it> We got a hundred lists of things we wanna do / But, I'm also cool just doing nothing with you
> I used to think that Romeo was full of shit / But, when I look at you, I think this must be it, oh
Ready Now - dodie
> You saw through me / All this time / I'd forgotten / People are kind / I was hurting / And you knew / So you showed me / What to do / You said, "I will listen / Tell it all / When you're finished / We'll talk more"> Feet firm on the ground / We stood hand in hand / The world seemed to tell me / That I have a plan

rollercoaster - sundial
> I hated scary movies til' I met you / Now we spend the weekend watching top ten thrillers in our bedroom / And I can't even make it past the driveway / But on your birthday I take the freeway just to get your cake / I'm scared of rollercoasters, I'm scared of the dark / Driving on the 405 and friends growing apart / I'm terrified of dying and letting down my guard / But life with you doesn't scare me at all> No, I don't mind it when I'm in your arms / 'Cause life with you don't scare me at all
Smile Boyo - Vundabar

> I wanna run away / Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life> You need an instant ease / From the life where you got plenty / Of every hurt and heartbreak / You just take it all to the face / I know that you want to cry / But it's much more to life than dyin'

Valentine - Laufey
> I've rejected affection / For years and years / Now I have it and damn it / It's kind of weird / He tells me I'm pretty / Don't know how to respond / I tell him that he's pretty too / Can I say that? Don't have a clue> 'Cause I think I've fallen / In love this time / I blinked and suddenly I had a valentine (be my valentine)
> I've lost all control of my heartbeat now / Got caught in a romance with him somehow / I still feel a shock through every bone / When I hear an, "I love you" / 'Cause now I've got someone to lose / The first one to ever like me back / I'm seconds away from a heart attack / How the hell did I fall in love this time? / And honestly, I can't believe I get to call you mine / I blinked and suddenly / I had a valentine / Valentine
Wear Sunscreen - Peach Pyramid
> I forgot how it feels to love / Taken by someone who makes me better / I'm never patient I just give up / You stuck around despite the weather / If I bug you / Do you run around or ask for a redo? / I guess it worked out> I like the way that you hold me / When you're still talking in your sleep / It keeps me up a while / All that I can do is smile
What Am I To Do - Gabbi Bolt
> bite my tongue, to stop myself professing love. / The words are too weighted for me to comprehend. / I try to contact you but I do it with a glance, / I do it with the silences we share when no one's looking.> You took a heart and finally unlocked it's / open in arms length, you don't even clock it / You took a soul that wandered alone and / gave her a partner, didn't even bother to / Realise you're doing it / No you don't even realise you're doing it / Realise you're doing it
> I can't always have it all, / I can't have my cake and eat it too, / But my hand longs for yours, / It would be so funny if it wasn't true, / Yeah no one in my head can see my point of view.
Write Me Letters - Hot Freaks
> I wish you knew how I feel / I wish you knew I was real / I wish a person like you / Would like a person like me / It's the reason I hide, always aside / Afraid that nobody will think I'm special> I talk too much, you know I told 'em everything / I told them that I'd like to disappear / I told them that I have nobody here
You Weren't Meant to See That - The Rare Occasions
> I was in the other room / Just laying on the carpet / Sinking like a summer moon / Slipping through a tar pit / You weren't meant to see that / You weren't meant to see that> You weren't meant to see that / All the shit I should hold back / 'Cause it's all in my head and I can see it through your swampy eyes / That I won't always be the only one for you

> Between my left and right, I'd one day have to choose / "You're not like me, I'm not like you / I'm not who these things happen to" / And that's exactly what you say before they do> Hand in hand come human error and plain bad luck / It seems the timing's always wrong / For the ones who wait too long / You'll never catch a break you'll have to make your own / My legs drag behind me / And they creak / In syncopated time / But I know / That one I will lose them too / I didn't have a clue
> And I would do it again / I'm not sorry but thank you / For enduring me / As long as you did / That's more than I'd ever ask of you
Fill in the Blank - Car Seat Headrest
> If I were split in two I would just take my fists / So I can beat up the rest of me> You have no right to be depressed / You haven't tried hard enough to like it / Haven't seen enough of this world yet / But it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts / Well stop your whining, try again
> I've known for a long time / I'm not getting what I want out of people / It took me a long time / To figure out I don't know what I want / So you'll ask "Why?" and there will be no answer / Then you'll ask "For how long?" and there will be no answer / Then you'll ask "What can I do?" and there'll be no answer / And eventually you will shut up
> And I will never see the light (so stop your whining try again) / That I've seen shining in your eyes
Get A Hold Of Yourself - Jack Stauber
> Get a hold of yourself / I'm not used to it (whoa, oh no!) / Caught you with the light on (no, you didn't!) / Then I'm sorry, you're feeling's gone (no, you don't, no) / Get a hold of myself (yeah!) / But I'm getting tired of itGolem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy - Mr. Bungle
> Spirit lifting / Master of shape-shifting / Seamless drifting / Shining spotlight / Screaming mobs and stage fright / You get it rightHollow - Cloudeater
> I don't speak, nobody's listenin' / It's not safe to seek the attention / I won't sink, I won't wallow / In this dream that I have borrowed / So don't lead, I won't follow> I move in all directions / I don't need any protection / And this beast is interjecting / And this soul can't help but connect it / And I'm ill with all that I know / 'Cause it shows what little I know / I want sacred, I want final / And I'm seeking it wherever I go
> I stay empty, I feel the hunger / So simple when I was younger / I awaken with the thunder / A bold statement to end my slumber / And this feeling has got a window / 'Til I'm numb, 'til I am blissful / 'Til the sum outweighs the mental / 'Til the blood of both is my limbo
> I'd find an answer if I wanted to / I'd be a dancer of a different tune / I won't get entranced, I will be changing soon
I / Me / Myself - Will Wood
> For some reason I find myself / Lost in what you think of me / And too confused to choose who I should be> I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time / We're so alike / But if the shoe fits, then I won't try it on / You'll be walking out early, but the show must go on / No, I know that I'm wrong / But I love how you're on my side when I cross that line / It's been a point of contention between myself and this / Body that they stuck me in
I'm Gonna Win - Rob Cantor
> My life is a constant entrapment of tunnels / Which tangle and wind and beguile / And regardless of where I may tumble or funnel / I wonder what's really worthwhile / Sometimes it can seem like a merciless dream / And I'm falling with nothing to hold / Sometimes I get flustered and beaten and blistered / Abandoned outside in the cold> You've seen me before, you'll see me again / I'll never give up, I'll never give in / 'Til I'm bloody and bruised / 'Til I've broken my bones / 'Til I won't be abused / Til I'm laughing alone
> How do you feel? / You've been concealing your worries from the world / But you can reveal them to me / I wouldn't know / I go on even though / I'll be bloody and bruised / I'll be breaking my bones / I'll be paying my dues / I'll be laughing alone
Love, Me Normally - Will Wood
> I live deliberately, I'm a quitter / And a winner anyway / Cause I never agreed to participate in this game> And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal / I suggest that we keep this informal / Cause a normal human being wouldn't need / To pretend to be normal to be normal / Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya / To be normal in a way I couldn't be / C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
> I was nothing before so I couldn't have asked to be born / I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then / Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird / So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan
Monster - dodie
> I'm guessing that I've grown horns / I guess I'm human no more / I can tell I've rotted in your brain / Oh, how easily passion twists / You think I'm a crazy bitch / I craft my words to fit your head / 'Cause no one listens to the dead> A meter apart / You blankly stare / We shout in our heads / Are you still in there? / Well this ends bad, then / We knew it would / So we won't eat our words / 'Cause they don't taste good
> Look, I know that I've seen this before / High and mighty, at the top of your list / Adoring every move, now my rank is sinking / But we're both guilty of black or white thinking / And through my red eyes, you look pale / All of your scars now looking more like scales / Two ugly creatures, two sinister preachers / Blind to the past, like a couple of monsters / Just a couple of monsters
Outliars and Hyppocrates: a fun fact about apples - Will Wood
> Did you know that the hole in the apple didn't come from the outside in? / It was eaten from the core and out to the skin, and that’s why you'll never find the worm in it . But a few bad ones won't spoil the eyes if they fall far enough from the tree> Who'd want to be human anyway? (Ay, ay, ay, ay) / Who pilots all these crude machines? / Why'd you come into this world or come out that way? / Like freaks of nurture, well isn't it funny? / (Well, not "ha-ha" funny, but y'know, funny)
> I doubt that you would even if you could change / The things that make you special are the things that make you strange
> Too weird to love, too scared to die (Ay, ay, ay, ay) / Too alien to take you home / Horrified at the sight of my reflection in your eyes / I don’t belong there / Well, it's your conclusions that make mine delusions, so I make you sane / You can thank me later
> Who’d want to belong to anyone? (Ay, ay, ay, ay) / I mean, what do people even do? / So if you love me, let me let you go, my love (Ay, ay, ay, ay) / So I can be no one

Theatre - Etta Marcus
> I rehearse a work of theatre for you / Come alive / I'll play dead tonight / I'll remember each line / Go again, I won't mind / I would fake it every time / I could stop pretending, quit my dreaming / Turn on the lights / I'm holding onto / Every word I made up for you / I'm not flesh, I'm not blood> I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved / Like right out of a movie / Where I sweep you up / I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved / Like right out of a movie / Where I am the star / Yes, I'll be the star
> I could blush, I'm so shy / Rest your head on side / We could stay in my mind / We could be what we like
> Call me baby / When you forget my name / I'm just glad that you came / Call me baby / Let me die on the stage / Let the orchestra play / Let the orchestra play
Variations on a Cloud - Miracle Musical
> OK, jump to end it all / Let this one be to break the fall / It's a little bit of magic to end the world / But I thought you knew me truly / Something different than we started with in the world / Does it even matter to me?> Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? / (It's a little bit of magic to end the world) / Do you like how my face has learned to tick like a clock? / (But I thought you knew me truly) / I have a wonderful life / I know a powerful Bob (Something different than we started with in the world) / He eulogizes me for being geocentric (Does it even matter to me?) / (Ha ha ha ha!)
Who Are You, Really? - Mikky Ekko

> Now you're moving on and you say you're alone / Suspicious that this string is moving your bones

Brave as a Noun - AJJ
> I could go off the deep end / I could kill all my best friends / I could follow stylish trends / And God knows I could make amends> And it's sad to know that we are not alone / And it's sad to know there's no honest way out / I'm afraid to leave the house / I'm as timid as a mouse / I'm afraid if I go out, I'll outwear my welcome
Comfort Crowd - Conan Gray
> This hurt that I'm holding's getting heavy / But I'ma keep a smile on my shoulders 'til I'm sweaty / Beggin' on my knees / Screamin', "Someone come and help me" / But by the time they're there / I've already hid the body> I just needed company now / Yeah, I just needed someone around / Yeah, I don't care what song that we play / Or mess that we make / Just company now

Coming Back To Me - Leith Ross

> I've been skipping meals and dodging plans / And listening to pop punk bands / I'm tired of tryna fake it like it's fine / Been yelling at my friends / And staying online 'til 3 AM> I count thе New Year's days I nevеr changed / The only difference is the pain
> What's the point of growing up / When it's obvious the world is fucked / By stuff someone thought up before my time
Girl Alone - Mother Mother
> You think it's so / Sad to know / A girl alone / Who spends all of / Her time at home> You think it's so / Sad to see / A girl like me / Without a trace / Of company
growing pains - mxmtoon
> Sometimes I wonder whether me when I was younger / Would like the person that I've become / 'Cause first impressions tend to last through adolescence / And she still kinda hates everyone> Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse / When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works / Maybe we're just like flowers starting down in the dirt / Everyone calls them growing pains because we know the hurt / Sometimes I question when I look at my reflection / If the person looking back is really me (is really me) / A couple years spent learning how to disappear / A couple more spent learning what I could be
> I can't help myself from faking a smile / Hard to break an old habit you've had for a while / I don't wanna be any worse than me / Sometimes it's hard to believe
Hello My Old Heart - The Oh Hellos
> Hello, my old heart / How have you been? / Are you still there inside my chest? / I've been so worried, you've been so still / Barely beating at all> Hello, my old heart / It's been so long / Since I've given you away / And every day, I add another stone / To the walls I built around you / To keep you safe
> Hello, my old heart / How have you been? / How is it being locked away? / Don't you worry, in there you're safe / And it's true, you'll never beat / But you'll never break
Home - HAIM
> You think you know about me, well, I know me better / I'm not the girl who waits around just to be walked all over / I never tread the line, I never fell and I never lied / But I never thought that I could be the one to open my eyes> But I trust that I / Could never stay the same / When everything felt so wrong / It led me to where I belong / So now / I'm goin' home / Take me home, just take me home
> Home is a symphony and it's bittersweet when it's callin' me / Just another river deep, flowin' to an ocean / I know that I may never know the future, unpredictable / A hundred choices led me here, lessons learned with every tear / They take me home, take me home
> Lookin' back on my life / The past is a mirror / I've left and come back / But what am I closer to?
Hope - ROAR
> Some mistakes should not be made / Like opening your heart / If your heart's upon your sleeve / Then amputate the armMother - Matt Maltese
> All my friends, they miss you a lot / I know your father probably hates my guts> And yesterday I told my mother / You learn to love again / And oh, she was the daughter you never had / And I know sometimes you might miss her / But I know the years can heal / And if there is another / Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her
> [ik that this song is actually about exes but i like to interpret the song as a mum loving their child as who they used to be and not who they are now #alsoatransallegory]
No Connection - Cheekface
> If you're not disappointed yet, just give me some time / I'm feeling fine but not better than fine> I got blood under my fingernails from scratching my head / We got a lot of croutons, so we better make this salad / My new therapy is just thinking about my friends
> I've got memories that aren't that good / I've got dreams and dreams are not that good / I'm announcing loudly, "I don't know what's going wrong!" / I tried turning it off and then turning it back on / Do I look better when I'm suffering?
> I'm announcing loudly that we were never friends / No shirt, no shoes, no justice / I did not mean to offend / Everything might be okay
No One Thinks About You - ROAR
> No one thinks about you even half as much as you think that they do / Even half as much as you think that they do> Tighten your grip and it will break you apart like a cancer / And you had been tricked into believing it gets you an answer
Rotting - Rockabye (musical)
> I am without a doubt / Rotting from the inside out> As I look to this gory forecast / Was my life worth something?
> Never noticed that I might be lost / Too afraid of my fears and too / Exhausted to be outstanding / My grotesqueness / Is breathtaking / I said, "Leave me" / I was faking
The Big Game - Olive Klug
> Chin up child oh what a life you have ahead / That's what they're all saying if I could only find my head> I don't know but I'm anxious and I know that I'm not ready / But I don't know how much longer I can wait
U Deserve - Wasia Project
> Digging through my mind and memories / I remember once you told me / That nobody'd care if I disappeared / And I believed every word / Every day I'd stare at my reflection / But all I ever saw was imperfection / I'd cry at the mirror / But no one would hear / You never let them listen> Haven't seen the sun for an eternity / Skirting 'round the borderline of sanity / I'd scream at the wind but no one would listen (ooh) / Didn't know what to think
> Take back your conscience and your crimes / Every minute of your time / Get the fuck out of my mind / Take back your weapons and your words / Put the seconds on reverse / All this hatred you deserve / You deserve, you deserve
What Do You Want from Me Tonight? - Sidney Gish
> Now, I'm stuck losing my mind / While everyone else just thinks that I'm really shy> And I'll sit here for a million years, just staring across the room / But what do you want? / Cause I want it all / And I'd really rather step back, but my back's against the wall / What if I'm too nice? / It's a punch in the face to be so over polite
> And my voice is too high / And it matches my head, and I look like I wanna die
> And I'm born too tall to contort my spine into a ball / And I wanna disappear, but I'm not adequately small
