playlist dump!
how to bear the crippling weight of the passing of time, growing up, and adolescence: a self help guide for dummies, mentally ill tumblr veterans, and people who are seventeen.
songs that inspire me to make music (personal musical inspiration)
epic | ˈɛpɪk | noun: a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the past history of a nation a.k.a songs that feel like many songs at once
my aspirational percy jackson disney+ show soundtrack ft 2010s classics a la panic at the disco and fall out boy and too much mother mother (rick riordan please let me soundtrack the percy jackson disney+ show i promise i’ll do a good job)
sad girl party bops for dark rooms, bathroom floors, and the inherent sadness of driving home after you’ve just had the best night of your entire life
songs that work when your feelings don’t
i wish i had help from a deeper force, some kind of meta angel, then they could whisper all the answers, and maybe life would just slow down, i don’t think that i’ll make it on my own (a.k.a meta angel by fka twigs but this time it’s personified)

playlists based on some of my favorite quotes
“There’s something about that tunnel that leads to downtown. It’s glorious at night. Just glorious. You start on one side of the mountain, and it’s dark, and the radio is loud. As you enter the tunnel, the wind gets sucked away, and you squint from the lights overhead. When you adjust to the lights, you can see the other side in the distance just as the sound of the radio fades to nothing because the waves just can’t reach. Then, you’re in the middle of the tunnel, and everything becomes a calm dream. As you see the opening get closer, you just can’t get there fast enough. And finally, just when you think you’ll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you. And the radio comes back even louder than you remember it. And the wind is waiting. And you fly out of the tunnel onto the bridge. And there it is. The city. A million lights and buildings and every- thing seems as exciting as the first time you saw it. It really is a grand entrance.“ ― Stephen Chbosky, Perks of Being a Wallflower
“The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“Humans are meant to work and sweat to earn a living. Those that try to get rich quick or live at the expense of others, all get divine retributions somewhere along the line. That’s the lesson. Unfortunately we quickly forget the lessons we learned. And then we have to learn them all over again.” — Jet Black, Cowboy Bebop
“There was something peculiarly gratifying about shouting in a blind rage until your words ran out. Of course, the aftermath was less pleasant. Once you’d told everyone you hated them and not to come after you, where exactly did you go?” ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding…” ― William Gibson, Neuromancer
“Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out.” ― Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
“Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.” ― Richard Neville
“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.” ― Leo Tolstoy
“It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded. It looks as if they were victims of a conspiracy; for the books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and the conversation of their elders, who look back upon the past through a rosy haze of forgetfulness, prepare them for an unreal life. They must discover for themselves that all they have read and all they have been told are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery is another nail driven into the body on the cross of life.” ― W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage

playlist dump
no cos the world as we knew it functionally ended a year and a half ago and the expectation was for us to just continue??? like it wasn’t bad enough already??? like i don’t want to crawl into a hole and live in it permanently now???
my therapist told me that music may be a good way to deal with my shit so the next time something particularly bad happens i should try putting together a playlist that expresses my emotions in the moment, anyway i hate men and the first song on this is called anti-parent cowboy killer a.k.a riot grrrl essentials for taking out your societally repressed feminine rage
classical music to make you feel like the rebellious anti-hero in a period piece movie a.k.a me finally acting on my grandma’s desire for me to listen to more classical music
instrumental and lofi pieces that help me feel like i’m being productive even though all i’ve done all day is stare blankly at my ceiling and think about the sheer tragedy of it all, this was meant to be a study mix to help me get shit done, i’m trying, it’s just that haven’t learnt anything in a year and a half
i watch cowboy bebop at least once every single year and always finish it wanting nothing more than to be part of a ragtag group of space bounty hunters in an alternate universe where humanity has colonized the solar system and i can be a space cowgirl with a cool spaceship who smokes too many cigarettes
the phrases ‘forgive me father for i have sinned’ and ‘sorry daddy i’ve been naughty’ technically mean the same thing and i thought that would make a sexy ass playlist theme
i’ve been trying to quit smoking so i made a playlist of all the songs that reminded me of cigarettes to listen to instead of smoking, it’s hasn’t worked out all that well so far but the playlist kind of bangs
getting lost in the woods with a group of people you’re only just getting to know as you all get wrapped up in a mystical adventure you know nothing about and understand very little of, but it’s worth it because in the end you get a whole new family of loved ones and the story of a lifetime
summer before the pandemic, going skinny dipping at night, stealing ice cream bars from the neighbourhood store, tiny swimsuits and too much sun and all the friends you can imagine, doing whatever you want wherever you want to do it
i was 15 when the pandemic started and now i’m turning 17 in two months, everything is moving far too  fast and i simply do not understand how some of you aren’t absolutely terrified of the passing of time a.k.a songs that feel like growing up
