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?

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

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↗

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

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]

Squaring Up - Sir Chloe↗

The Night We Met - Lord Huron↗

> 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
