Ok, point of discussion, but does anyone else ever think about what would happen if any of the characters, we’re just listening to a peice of music they like, and then suddenly get to some lyrics that are just a little too close to home to there experiences.
I was just listening to ant-hero and there was a line that plain went “pierced through the heart but never killed.” And I just thought if Jim had heard that... It’s now gotten me on a tangent thinking of other examples.
Anti-hero “pierced through the heart but never killed.”
Yawning grave. “You can run but you can’t escape”
Chronicle cautious. “So if I’m honest, I think I’m beginning to regret how much I want this.”
“picturing a future then tossing it out the window.”
I’ll be good. “I’ve been cold I’ve been merciless, but the blood on my hands, scares me to death, maybe I’m waking up, today.”
Forth of July, like the entire song! (more specifically after ROTT)
No light, no light “No light, no light in your bright blue eyes, I never new daylight could be so violent!”
“You can’t choose what stays and what fades away.”
Everything I wanted. “ I had a dream, I got everything I wanted, not what you’d think, and if I’m being honest, it might have been a nightmare.”
Gasoline “you can’t wake up this is not a dream. You’re part of a machine, you are not a human being.”
I’m only human “ I’m only human after all.”
Somebody that I used to know. Again after ROTT. “Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.”
Numb little bug. “Do you ever get a little bit tired of life, like not really happy but you don’t want to die.”
“Like you’re hanging on a thread but you gotta survive, cause you gotta survive.”
House song. “Something is rotten inside of me, I need to find it and cut it out,”- this one’s really angsty but very much Jim.
Overwhelmed. This one’s both Jim and Claire definitely. “ I get overwhelmed so easily, my anxiety creeps inside of me. Makes it hard to breath, what’s come over me? Feels like I’m somebody else.
Below the surface, again both Jim and Claire (Toby definitely introduced them to this song, you can’t tell me he’s not a FNAF fan.) “there’s no one left to find you, I’ll take your place inside you.” “Below the surface.”
I know there’s a lot here with Jim but that boy has been through way too much.
The 30th “ what if it happened to you on a different day.”
“If you changed anything would you not have survived You’re alive, your alive, you’re alive.”
The night we met. “I had all and them most of you, some and now none of you.”
“Take me back to the night we met”
TV “you tell yourself it’s fine you’re just in love.”
“and I’ll be in denial for at least a little while, what about the plans we made?”
Hurt like hell. “how can I say this without breaking”
“I loved, and I loved and I lost you.”
Dollhouse. Specifically Claire’s relationship with her mom. “Places places get in your places.”
“Everyone thinks that we’re perfect, please don’t let them look through the curtains.”
“I see things that no body else sees.”
“No one ever listens as wall paper glistens.”
End of beginning. “And when I’m back in Chicago (Arcadia) I feel it.”
“I wave good bye to the end of beginning.”
“A major sacrifice, but clueless at the time.”
“Just trust me you’ll be fine.”
“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.”
When will I see you again. “It’s hard to adjust now, cause you’re not around.”
“When will I see you, see you, again.”
Discord “discord whatever did we do, to make you take our world away.”
Stressed out. “My names burry face and I, care what you think.”
“Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days, when my mamma said, I still sleep but now we’re stressed out.”
I bet on loosing dogs. I don’t know why but I feel like this one’s would remind him of Merlin.
In the shirt. “I am lost.”- another reminder of Merlin.
Everything works out in the end.
Lost on you. “Let’s raise a glass or two, to everything I lost on you.” “ is that lost on you” again Merlin.
“Wish that I could see the machinations understand the toil of expectations in your mind.”
Iris. “And I don’t want the world to see me, cause I don’t think that they’d understand. when everything’s made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.”
“Yea you bleed just to know you’re alive.”
Nothing breaks like a heart. “This world can’t hurt you, it cuts you deep and leaves a scare, but nothing breaks like a heart.”
Try. “ funny how the heart can be deceiving, even if a couple times.”
“Funny how we fall in love so easy even when it’s not right.”
“Were there is desire there is going to be a Flame.”
“Where there is a Flame someone’s bound to get burned.”
“But Just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die.”
“You’ve just gotta try, try, try”
Black mascara. “ you’ve done to me, you’ve done to me, your done to me, your done to me.
Shade of my heart. “The hidden law of a probable outcome, the numbers lead to dance. I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier, I know that clubs are weapons of war. I know that diamonds mean money for this art, but that’s not the shape of my heart.” -Strickler contemplating his human life and desires vs his Changeling one.
Kiss from a rose.- Strickler thinking of Barbra.
Wicked game- again Barbra.
We all know Nomura’s is hall of the mountain king. Herself representing Gint in the story and her longing for acceptance and truth.
As for for Aja and Krel I’m not sure. But if you know definitely share.
When it’s cold I’d like to die- pretty much everyone would be avoiding this song. It’s too dramatic and traumatising.
Under pressure- again all of them. But definitely also Jim right after resetting the timeline.
