Striving for Worthiness
A Playlist for Obiyuki Week 2023 by @snowwhite-andtheknight
While trying to fit the songs to the prompts, this playlist became less about making himself worthy, and more about working through his self-doubt, eventually fading out with some Lilias bonfire feels!
Striving for Worthiness
Kiss of Life- The Dear Hunter (Day 1: Attraction)
As Above, So Alone- Copeland (Day 2: Worship from Afar)
Whatever’s Left- Snow Patrol (Day 3: Declaration of Devotion)
Circles- Anberlin (Day 4: Virtuous Rejection- Indecision)
Not Strong Enough- Boygenius (Day 5: Renewed Wooing)
Bed Head- Manchester Orchestra (Day 6: Heroic Deeds of Valor)
Shut Your Eyes- Snow Patrol (Day 7: Consummation of Secret Love)
Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:
Kiss of Life- The Dear Hunter (Day 1: Attraction to the Lady)
Give me more than the things that I live for
I'm only echoes of the man that I'm supposed to be
Because I want more of the things I'd die for
I want to feel it in my soul
Now that you've unburied me, dust me off and carry me home
And I beg you sing life to me again
I promise this won't happen again
Because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again
As Above, So Alone- Copeland (Day 2: Worship of the Lady from Afar)
And I know you love me
Even when you can't say it like you mean it
But no one has ever seen my
Soul unfettered the way you are
I wake but layers of a dream
Lay over everyone I see
But how is it so, my world looks different now
But no one knows?
Whatever’s Left- Snow Patrol (Day 3: Declaration of Passionate Devotion)
A feeling I've had many times before
I can't hold the fort, so don't give me more
I struggle and sweat when I'm wide awake
And I know I'm fine, I'm not used to fine
As the madness sets in
You must know that I'll follow you
Circles- Anberlin (Day 4: Virtuous Rejection- Indecision)
I set to search the ruins
I looked inward to find
I keep running into circles
Lost myself to find me
Left him there to just bleed
Running into circles to find myself
Are we all looking for someone
To see us for who we really are?
Because as long as we know ourselves
No one could ever get that far
Not Strong Enough- Boygenius (Day 5: Renewed Wooing with Oaths of Virtue)
I don't know why I am the way I am
Not strong enough to be your man
I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and
Spinning out about things that haven't happened
Breathing in and out
Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing
Close my eyes and count
Bed Head- Manchester Orchestra (Day 6: Heroic Deeds of Valor)
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish my past, and my time
There is only love and fire, so
Let me extinguish the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind
Right by the entrance, you broke
Finally, reality's taking its hold
You're not who you were, but you can't let it go
You're not where you're from, but you're always alone
So I stick a flag in the ground
I think I know who I'm living for now
I am what I am, same above as the ground
It's not what I want, but I'm figuring it out
Shut Your Eyes- Snow Patrol (Day 7: Consummation of the Secret Love)
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire, we break the quiet
And when the worrying starts to hurt
And the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
You can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
