To save everyone on discord from my endless song ramblings. I have decided to make the annotated playlist post here. Under the cut is every song on my Juno/Nureyev/Jupeter playlist with explanations and lyric excerpts that really Get me about them. Bon appetit and whatnot.
If you want to listen to the playlist and/or steal the songs you can find it on Spotify and Apple Music.
Also shoutout to everyone in the Penumbra Creator Collective discord. Yes most of these are songs I stole from other people and/or playlists. I don't listen to music ♡
(There is a heavy Nureyev bias in here. I'm a Nureyev girlie. Who knew.)
I'm Good, I'm Gone - Lykke Li
Nureyev who runs away from him fucking problems. Juno who ALSO run away from him fucking problems! They love to run away from everything.
And if you say I'm not okay with miles to go
If you say there ain't no way that I could know
If you say I aim too high from down below
Well say it now 'cause when I'm gone
You'll be calling, but I won't be at the phone
And I'm hanging around 'til it's all done
You can't keep me back once I had some
No wasting time to get it right
And you will see what I'm about
Love Don't Die - The Fray
Nureyev u-haul swag is real. And then in season 3 when they are so clearly…sooo happy together. Like they would die for each other even if they don't stay for each other. They are in love ♡
If I know one thing that's true
It ain't what you say, it's what you do
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
But I listen when you do
No matter where we go
Or even if we don't
And even if they try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die
Kiss With A Fist - Florence + the Machine
This is very much fitting with the crime boss Roses AU. But also in general Juno and Nureyev bond through a lot of suffering. And also also Juno "active desire to do me harm" Steel.
Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend - Julie London
Heist song!!!! And also Man in Glass Nureyev.
Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't loose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Fucking Boyfriend - the bird and the bee
I think it fits them. TBH to be honest. Especially Murderous Mask and Man in Glass.
There is something wrong and there is something right
When you can take me by the hands and I will close my eyes
When you laid down with me you took the other side
When you laid down with me you never slept that night
Are you working up to something, but you give me almost nothing
Keep me helpless up to something on my knees
Runaways - All Time Low
The fantasy of running away together! Nureyev says let's run away and forget everything and they consider it for a little bit, tbh!!!
So let's run away
They will have to find another heart to break
Why don't we just run away?
Never turn around, no matter what they say
We'll find our way
When the sun goes down on this town
There'll be no one left but us
W.A.M.S. - Fall Out Boy
Juno self-hate and loves to ignore things with sex.
Hurry, hurry
You put my head in such a flurry, flurry
Reflect, reflect on what makes you so special
Oh, what makes you so special?
I'm gonna leave you
Oh, I'm gonna teach you
How we're all alone
How we're all alone, oh, oh
Never Love an Anchor - The Crane Wives
Juno cutting Nureyev loose because he thinks he's the anchor and Nureyev is the ship.
There are times where I still wonder about you
You are someone I have loved but never known
And you'll never see the reasons I had
For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you
Come With Me - Chxrlotte
Final resting place. Especially Nureyev's POV.
They won't find us, you and I
Can watch the stars fall from the sky
The world ends eventually, so come with me
Complicated - Avril Lavigne
Juno and Nureyev both seeing what each other are hiding and so frustrated by it. Especially Juno watching Nureyev wear a mask around their family.
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Actin' like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
Cherry Thrill - Movements
"Who knows what kind of trouble we could cause?"
Ooh, am I the only one?
I think it might be fun
Drop everything and run
Ooh, you look so fit to kill
World explodes and I'm with you still
Hypnotized in your cherry thrill
I'm feeling lucky, I'm feeling charmed
You pick the roles, I'll play the part
One robs the bank, one drives the car
And we run the job like a work of art
Fair - The Amazing Devil
Hopelessly and uselessly in love.
"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you
It's not fair 'cause you make me ache, you bastard"
And they'll say "Oh how, oh how unreasonable
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
I'll spend my days so close to you 'cause if I'm stood here
Then I'm stood here
And I'll stand here I'll stand here with you"
Neptune - Sleeping At Last
Nureyev is allergic to the truth but can't help being a hopeless romantic!!!!
I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth I wanna tell you, but I don't know how
I'm only honest when it rains
An open book with a torn out page
And my ink's run out
I wanna love you, but I don't know how
It's Always Sunny With You - {Parentheses}
Nureyev learning how to love in the present instead of just the past. He loves Juno!!!
You caught me when I was falling down
Picked me up when I was on the ground
You were warm when everything was cold
On you, I have been sold
I thought I was drowning once, but then
You made my life happy once again
I thought I was lost but now I'm found
It's you I wanna be around
Black Sheep - Metric
Nureyev loves to self-flagellate by going back even when it hurts. And also he is literally the black sheep of the crew.
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh
It's a mechanical bull, the number one
You'll take a ride from anyone
Everyone wants a ride
Pulls away, ooh, from you
Bug Like an Angel - Mitski
Nureyev making promises he can't keep! Because he loves Juno but he also is dedicated to his debts (literal and metaphorical).
Hey, what's the matter?
Lookin' like your sticker
Is stuck on a floor somewhere
Did you go and make promises you can't keep?
Well, when ya break them, they break you right back
Amateur mistake, you can take it from me
Where Do You Run - The Score
Nureyev and Juno both wanting to be wanted!! So badly!!!!
The bridges I have crossed since you've been next to me
You showed me there's a life worth fighting for, yeah
Now the tables turned and you're the one in need
Just let me in I'll help you win this war, oh
Devil's Backbone - The Civil Wars
Nureyev sees himself as broken but guess what!!! Juno loves you anyway bitch.
O Lord, O Lord, what have I done?
I’ve fallen in love with a man on the run
O Lord, O Lord, I’m begging you, please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh, don’t take that sinner from me
Love of My Life - Queen
Nureyev learning what love really feels like with Juno and well. That's his other half now.
(Please bring it back, back) Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me (means to me)
You will remember when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older I will be there at your side
To remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)
Suck the Blood From My Wound - Ezra Furman
Magic healing in various AUs. But also the symbolism of angel Nureyev.
Blood on my angel's lips blends in with his makeup
He's off the premises before his brain's had time to wake up
Peeling off bandages to unfold his wings
The doctors said they'd have to stay on for another three weeks
Fuck it baby, let 'em bruise, let 'em break
But please, let 'em bleed
I let you walk as long as fear will allow
I've never loved you more than I love you now
And then we're back on the road before the sun's even up
We're making time, we're making progress
But progress towards what?
Hero - Faouzia
Nureyev thinking that if he can be Juno's hero, Juno will be his savior. And he does, but not how either of them expect.
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
Never There - CAKE
Nureyev resenting Juno leaving him. Of course.
On the phone long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
And first you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me
Only the Lonely Survive - Marianas Trench
Nureyev running back to a "reality" without Juno. He's survived by being no one for years! He knows they're on limited time.
But I know
A love like this will end in tragedy
You know
Every kiss suspending gravity
Burns us both to love this close
We lose ourselves
And I know we won't get out alive
But only the lonely survive
UNBELIEVABLE - Ethan Gander
If Nureyev ever stops running away he'll fall to pieces, so he will keep running until he falls away.
The things I've done to run away
Are unforgivable
This debt I'm unable to pay Is unbelievable
Oh so weary, no rest
And still got miles ahead
I've created a mess with my own bare hands
When Somebody Needs You [Song] - Will Wood
Reuniting on the Carte Blanche and they just…wow they're okay? Actually? And then they both get to be needed by someone who's here.
Then you looked in my eyes and said
"How dare you love me when you should despise me?
You should be scared of me"
It seems that that's what it means
When somebody needs you
Promises - Beach Bunny
Nureyev pissed at Juno but still wanting to be thought of. Because he's that bitch.
Part of me still wants you, part of me wants to fall asleep
When we're all alone in your bedroom, you came like a reoccurring dream
Part of me still hates you, how could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom, do you ever think of me?
You're a Cad - the bird and the bee
Nureyev is so obsessed with Juno it makes him look stupid. Especially gap between end of FRP and CB.
Also this is reverse AU Nureyev fr.
Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook
You're rash and you're hasty, you're reckless with my heart
Still I wait by the phone, I will never get smart
I should be better, but I'm worse
A Night Like This - Caro Emerald
The fantasy of being together, of running away, of being a pair. Murderous Mask, Train From Nowhere, and Final Resting Place vibes.
I have never dreamed it
Have you ever dreamed a night like this?
I cannot believe it
I may never see a night like this
When everything you think is incomplete
Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek
Could you ever dream it?
I have never dreamed
Dreamed a night like this
Tomcat Disposables - Will Wood
The Pests and Nureyev dreaming of more.
And so I stumble back to bed
Something's not quite right.
Guess I'll just go rest my head
Now as I lay me down to sleep
I expect no dreams, and no sweet goodbye to me
Flatline in the morning light.
I held on so tight for so long
It's just not right, let a sigh out as I close my eyes
Was that all there was to this?
What's for the best?
Liar - The Arcadian Wild
Nureyev thinking there's nothing waiting underneath all his aliases and lies. Is there even a person there?
I am the host of this hostility
I’m the master magician that makes you believe
I’m real, I’m not fake, but in reality I’m a lying man
My life’s become this grand game of deception
My mind’s ignored all my heart’s good intentions
We all feel this tension
We all have our own illusions
Broken Boy - Cage the Elephant
Nureyev!!!! Nureyev the Brahman child. Trying to grow past it but he's always going to be Peter Nureyev the Brahman child.
I was born on the wrong side of the train tracks
I was raised with a strap across my back
Lay me on my side or hold me up to the light, yeah
I was burned by the cold kiss of a vampire
I was bit by the whisper of a soft liar
Any good friend of yours is a good friend of mine
Broken boy, how does it feel?
Broken boy, how does it feel? How does it feel?
Tell me why I'm forced to live in this skin
Tell me why I’m forced to live in this skin
I'm an alien, I'm just an alien, oh
Tell me why I was born to live in this skin
Tell me how I’m supposed to be forgiven
With my hand in the hive and the sun in my eyes, yeah
Chapter 6 Many Mistakes (feat. Jaye Prime) - Jax Anderson
Both Juno and Nureyev have always caused problems for one another and thinking it over, even as they commit to their mistakes.
Late night thinkin 'bout many mistakes
I never meant to hurt you
Late night problems come and I can't escape
I never meant to hurt you
Late night wishin' I'd run away
I never meant to hurt you
Late night problems come and I can't escape
I never meant to hurt you
Scene One - James Dean & Audrey Hepburn - Sleeping With Sirens
Season 1 Nureyev, Season 5 Juno, Season 3 them together.
How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, cause I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
The Moon Will Sing - The Crane Wives
Regrets and desires.
All those empty rooms
We could have been anywhere, anywhere else
Instead I made a bed with apathy
My heart knew the weight
Ten years worth of dust and neglect
We made our peace with weariness
And let it be
Extrasolar - Baths
Juno's moral core, Nureyev's dedication to a promise he's made. Broken by who they are and also literally running off world!
Get offworld, get extrasolar
Boot the motor, we've got time to waste
(In every blot of space)
Our goodwill is gonna kill us
But come what may, we're on our way
(Intrepid and unphased)
Into the Storm - BANNERS
Nureyev who will always chase after Juno!!!!
So violently
Held captive by your gravity
Hold your breath and wait for me
Where the wind may blow
Through light and dark
And fantasies that fall apart
Know you're always in my heart
Anywhere you go
First Love / Late Spring - Mitski
Nureyev who had to learn to be mature so young, and now he's emotionally stunted!
And I was so young when I behaved twenty-five
Yet now, I find I've grown into a tall child
And I don't wanna go home yet
Let me walk to the top of the big night sky
Francis Forever - Mitski
Nureyev who has to prove himself to anyone whose approval he's ever valued. Mag, Juno, Vespa, Buddy!!
I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me
Starlight - Muse
They're in love, your honor.
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Mercury - Sleeping At Last
Nureyev thinking that Juno is the most precious thing. Even more than Slip or even more than his name!! They're in love.
I know the further I go
The harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed
And somehow I've fallen in love
With this middle ground at the cost of my soul
Yet I know, if I stepped aside
Released the controls, you would open my eyes
That somehow, all of this mess
Is just my attempt to know the worth of my life
Pretty Little Things - The Crane Wives
I don't think I need to argue this. It's so.
I cut straight to the heart
I don't believe the pretty little things that you say
I've heard a lot of little pretty things
Don't buy me flowers
It pains me to watch pretty little things wilt away
Pretty little things wilt away
Pretty little things wilt away
Hey Brother - Avicii
Benten and Juno!! Bentenbentenbenten.
(Also Steliana and Nureyev if you're a deep V lore follower.)
What if I'm far from home?
Oh brother, I will hear you call
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister, I will help you out
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
Twin Skeleton's (Hotel In NYC) - Fall Out Boy
Both Juno and Nureyev trying to fill the emptiness of their past.
Keep making trouble 'til you find what you love
I need a new partner in crime and you, you shrug that
There's a room in a hotel in New York City
That shares our fate and deserves our pity
I don't want to remember it all
The promises I made if you just hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Ruin - The Amazing Devil
They ruin one another in the best fucking way. And being left alone? Remembering their time together.
Because brick by brick you built us
And I'd fill in the cracks
Nothing quite prepares you for
When they don't come back
I wish I'd done things different
I wish that I'd been brave
I wish I'd known these stones were something I could save
Metaphor - The Crane Wives
Nureyev who thinks he's only a liar and is better at loving dead people than alive people.
I keep my closet free of skeletons
'Cause I'm much better at digging graves
But I always dig up bones in your sympathy
I can't trust a single thing you say
Brother - Kodaline
Benten and Juno and what could've been with them. Ride or die.
(Also Steliana and Nureyev. Don't @ me.)
We're living different lives
Heaven only knows
If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes
Five years, twenty years, come back
It will always be the same, oh-oh, oh-oh
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe
A Message - Coldplay
S1/S5 parallel feels.
Your heavy heart
Is made of stone
And it's so hard to see you clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own
And I'm not gonna take it back
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that
You're the target that I'm aiming at
Can I get that message home?
Fool & The Thief - THE HARA
Nureyev thinks he's a fool! He's stealing things, he's stealing time, he's foolish for loving.
The smile don't mean I'm fine
It's just my disguise
Laugh through gritted teeth
Good at faking that I'm fine
The mirror that I speak to
Has a thousand eyes
I get all the attention but they don't know the truth
Imposter in my heavy head tells me what to do
This 2am anxiety
Pumps a hole straight through my chest
Honey and Glass - Peyton Cardoza
How Nureyev sees Juno. They're in love your honor.
And she's dancing in the rain with her clothes on
Drenched to the bone, never knows when she´s all gone
But she's the life of the party and deep down I know
That nobody flinches when she takes off her clothes
And I wonder what's it like to be one of those girls
To sit in the sun, and look at the world and never think
"Wow, am I enough"
Becoming the Lastnames - Will Wood
Domesticity arc. Espeeeecially in my belief that Nureyev dreams of it. Also Juno allowing himself to want it?
I'm not sure yet myself, but I learned from a good father
Yeah, I mean, sure, they messed me up, but I think that's just the gig
And maybe it's just some hormones that kick in in your late twenties
But I have laid a lot of women, and now I'd like to just lay down
And marriage always scared me, but I'd like to have a last love
And love can last a pretty good long while, yeah, I've seen it around
But if we grow old together, will you talk to my headstone?
That is, assuming that I die first (which is fair) and assuming I don't leave
Close enough to forever, I guess, to prove what I hope
I mean, otherwise, how am I to believe?
Shiver - Mike Waters
Nureyev who was willing to give away everything for Juno and Juno still left him. He probably thinks about that a lot in the next year.
But I don’t need excuses
And I don’t need your love
And I’m a little dumb
And I’m a little stupid for speaking from my heart
And I’m a little numb 'cause I could hear your footsteps
When you left last night
Foolish Believer - Broadside
Nureyev who thinks he's not whole but that Juno can somehow fill that for him. He needs to do the work later. Get your character development arc bro.
I can't shake the feeling
All the world is just a stage
And everybody's acting
Hoping that the crowd will numb the pain
So here goes another line from a fading light
I need your love 'cause I've sold all mine
Don't walk away
