Confessional - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows
Where do I begin,
where should I start?
So much to tell... or nothing at all.
At the end of the day it is all the same,
'cause that's how things are.
No-one ever writes, no-one calls,
only replies, so I have to go first,
which is tiring and sad,
but all that I have,
so I just go ahead with it.
Because:
I DO believe,
I DO believe, I DO believe, I DO,
I DO believe in friendship...-
in FRIENDSHIP and in TRUTH.
I often try picturing what it
would be like to have a friend,
someone who spends his time
with me, enjoys my company
as much as I like him.
Someone who calls for no reason
at all, simply out of a whim...-
whom, at the end of the day,
I don't have to pay
like everyone else.
Someone, who has no gain from
knowing my name, my weakness
or strength, who doesn't pretend
and isn't afraid to share pleasure
or pain, is honest and true.
COPY-PASTED WHOLE LYRICS COS THIS SONG. THIS SONG IS SMOL & KITTY FRIENDSHIP SONG. The sadness, desperation, all the mixed feelings of hope, love and trust but also fear, disappointment and longing?? Smolmet wants to be close to his kitty twin, but also, they are both deep in despair due to their circumstances, so it is so hard to play pretend, being happy when they cannot, being friends when they have no time or energy???
Walk With The Noise - IAMX
We were born into this fools' world
And we will die before we play the game
So many blows ripping apart our gentle souls
And I shudder 'cause I know what I don't want to know
And it's killing me, killing me, laughter
Wanna wash those smiles away
Oh it's killing me, killing me slowly
Wanna wash those smiles away
I walk with the noise, it’s reaching out to me
I talk to the world, face my devils
When I’m losing my touch the terror, the terror
I walk with the noise, face my devils
Smolkitty twins!! The song's beat and the energy of it fits them so well ;;; All their efforts, their grief. It feels like their theme song ;;;
The Dark Side - Muse
I have lived in darkness
For all my life, I've been pursued
You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain
And if you could see the things I am able to see
I hail from the dark side
For all my life, I've been besieged
You'd be scared living with my despair
And if you could feel the things I am able to feel
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
;;;;; The Dark Side is especially the Kitty Emmet with the bottomless pain and despair he is. Smolmet is hopeful by nature and he can hold onto his belief in a happy future if things went too dark for him. But I do not think Kitty Emmet has the same luxury? So this song signifies the bridge between them, with how they are same but also verrry different in their pain, yet how they still try to reach out one another?
Graveyard Shift - Battle Tapes
I used to think that these words wouldn't go anywhere
My fever wouldn't start to break until they stopped and they stared
I keep on when you won't
'Cause I know what you don't, don't, don't, don't
I took the risk, I took the bid
I took the blame every time
I took to knock, knock, knocking down your door
I took to taking what's mine
I fell asleep at the helm of a runaway train
And laid myself at the feet of what I couldn't slay
To keep you where they can't find
I need you more than I realized
I sip your glass and wave goodbye
I need you more, the rest alive
And everything they said was true
To keep you lost and cast away
I'd never sold your heart of gold
To keep you lost as days just fade away
Alright, these twins' energy is high and I tried choosing the 'electrifying' sort of songs for them. This one stars with Smolmet's worry about the 'risk' he takes by being close to his twin and trying to keep up with him when they do not mesh well at first, but also, it ends with Kitty Emmet's perspective, like "I would never sell your heart of gold"??? Like, deep down, they both care about each other with their flaws, weaknesses and all. They are Emmet, and they are different, but still they care deeply??
Also, RUNAWAY TRAIN??? IT IS YOUR EMMET'S SONG.
Ordinary Life - Simple Plan
It's just another Monday
I'm just another face in a face-less crowd
I'm going down one-way
Caught up in the machine and I'm spit right out
I'm living in a rat race
I'm looking for my soul in the lost-and-found
I'm sitting in the same spot
Counting every tic, toc
Gotta hit the punch clock
When's it gonna stop-stop?
Another day in black and white
One, two, three, four, five
Another week goes by
I'm half alive
I'm getting sick
I'm faking this
I'm over it
Don't wanna wear no suit and tie
I gotta live before I die
So I'm done, done, done
With this ordinary life
IT'S THEM IT'S THEM IT'S THEM. (Also b&w part just makes me smile so much). How they are left to pretend to be okay and functional in their ordinary world when nothing is??? Ingo is gone, yet no one allows them to take their time to fix this or cares about how maddening their whole situation is?? But also, they have to keep things as it is since Ingo will return one day, but it is so hard??
It just reminds me so much of them ;;;;; Karaoke night with just them singing this on top of their lungs, pls.
Lullaby - Lord Huron
You arise along with the sun
Where have you been, darlin'? What have you done?
You were out finding trouble againThere's a fire in your eyes and there's blood on your hands
Come inside and lie down to sleep
You ain't gonna run and you know that you're beat
Rest awhile, they're coming for you
There's a price to be paid for the things that we doFall asleep and forget all your troubles
Dream of laughter and old friends and lovers
Dream of when you were innocent
Dream forever
Lord knows you've been 'round in your day
But this kind of trouble, won't just go away
Darlin', now you're adrift in the deep
So just lay down your head and I'll sing you to sleep
tHIS SONG!!!! THIS SONG!! This is like the extra song to their playlist to unwind after the other fast ones, and it captures the other side of their friendship so well? All the things they had done since Ingo went missing, all the troubles they make... And how when the morning comes, they still got each other's back? ;;;;; You mentioned Beemmet singing to his bees and now I am thinking both Emmets singing lullabies to each other after a bad night of trouble of the other?
It is them mourning what they have lost, who they used to be, but also, having a moment to support each other at the very least??
I love them so much;;;;
