BURIED ABOVE GROUND,  GILES COREY There’s a devil on my back  (  …  )  I’ve been wailing like a child  /  At the bottom of a well  /  I’ve been pacing like a man  /  In a prison cell  /  I get buried above the ground
If I were to choose a theme song for him,  that would be it.  The stagnancy causing the impression that he’s barely making any progress and the overall feeling of numbness are elements I keep accentuating in his characterisation  &  what always strikes me the most in this song is the last line about being buried above the ground.  He isn’t yet dead,  officially,  but he feels like he’s already used up his time on earth and now he’s nothing but a walking corpse,  stuck in his vicious cycles and crying out for help when nobody is listening.
OBSESSIONS,  MARINA People are staring,  time ticker-quicking,  skin is on fire  (  …  )  We’ve got obsessions  /  I wanna erase every nasty thought  /  That bugs me every day of every week  (  …  )  You never told me what it was that made you strong  /  And what it was that made you weak
Leon’s got a terrible tendency for doing things obsessively,  especially when it comes to picking apart the past.  Although he wouldn’t admit it openly,  he is concerned with how other people view him and he doesn’t hold himself in the highest regard once he’s starting to think about it more than a healthy amount.  He always feels like someone is watching his every single move  &  judging him for each twitch and quiver.  His mind usually is occupied by rumination far from positive,  and he obsessively tries to oust it,  but to no avail.  While he’s hung up on memories,  rarely does he make the bold move to open up to someone about how his experiences shaped him.
BULLET PROOF…  I WISH I WAS,  RADIOHEAD Every day,  every hour  /  Wish that I...  was bulletproof  (  …  )  You have turned me into this  /  Just wish that it  /  Was bulletproof  (  …  )  So,  pay me money and take a shot  /  Lead,  fill the hole in me
Despite standing tall against all odds and taking on the struggles thrown his way with a brave face,  it’s mostly an act.  Not indestructible nor unbreakable,  though he wishes he could be.  Only so much he can put his body through,  only so much he can put his psyche through.  But he no longer feels like a person;  he’s losing the grip on who he really is.  They made him into this,  that toy soldier taking every hit  &  shot fired.  With how disconnected he is from himself,  he doesn’t care what happens to him and how it may affect him.  He’s not his own person anymore,  they made him sign his life away.
GRAVEYARD WHISTLING,  NOTHING BUT THIEVES No one’s getting younger  /  Would you like a souvenir?  (  …  )  ‘Cause if you don't believe  /  Then you know,  then you know,  it can never do you harm  /  If you don’t believe  /  It can’t hurt you
I consider that one more fitting for older Leon,  who happens to be looking back at his life from a slightly different perspective.  Perhaps less regret and resentment is clouding his vision for once,  so he can finally take the examination of conscience in his stride.  The factor of faith also comes into the picture.  He doesn’t have a god he prays to and doubts the force majeure.  Because if he shoves it aside  &  makes himself a nonbeliever,  then it means it cannot touch him.  And if death were to come,  he shouldn’t fear it…  because it can’t hurt him.
SPECIAL CASES,  MASSIVE ATTACK The deadliest of sin is pride  /  Make you feel like you're always right  /  But there are always two sides  (  …  )  Take a look around the world  /  You see such mad things happening  /  There are few good men  /  Thank your lucky stars that he's one of them
Merely because he doesn’t necessarily respect himself,  it doesn’t mean that his ego can’t get bloated.  He hates being proved wrong  &  hubris he often indulges in.  At times,  it can be dangerous to have his common sense gone blurred and hazy due to unadulterated pride.  Still,  he remains appalled by the state of everything surrounding him and even though the havoc and desolation can sometimes strike him with utter powerlessness,  the flame urging him to keep fighting for the cause hasn’t been completely stubbed out.
TAGGED: @valour-bound ( thank you a lot! ) TAGGING: @prosopagn0sis, @lickbatteries, @heavenprotect, @untodeath ( for luis? ), @sp1ed, @lasraichean, @wintersdecay & whoever else wants to do it!

Supermarket, oh, what packet of crackers to pick? They're all the same, one brand, one name, but really they're not. Look, look, just choose something quick. People are staring, time ticker-quicking, skin is on fire. Just choose something, something, something. Pressure overwhelming. Next minute, I am turning out of the door. Facing one week without food. A day, a day, when things, things are pretty bad. But don't let it make you feel sad. The crackers were probably bad luck anyway. Can't let your cold heart be free when you act like you've got an OCD. We've got obsessions. I wanna erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week. We've got obsessions. You never told me what it was that made you strong and what it was that made you weak. We've got obsessions. I want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week. We've got obsessions. You never told me what it was that made you strong and what it was that made you weak. We've got obsessions. That made you weak, made you weak. Made you weak. We've got obsessions. Made you weak, made you weak, made you. Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette. Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable again.

❝ nothing’s good about the hell you put me through. ❞
❝ you can run but you can’t hide, i’m gonna make you mine. ❞
❝ and i replay it into my head, the sight of you dead. ❞

marina lyrics for the roman stans
“i’ve been dancing with the devil, i love how he pretends to care” 
“gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self-esteem” 
“don’t wanna talk anymore, i’m obsessed with silence”
“and love, it never happens like you think it really should, deception and perfection are wonderful traits”
“and i'm sad to the core, core, core (yeah) every day is a chore, chore, chore (wow) when you give, I want more, more, more, i wanna be adored”
“i carry along a feel of unease, i want to belong like the birds in the trees, i sit on my own, look over the town”
“i feel like i’m the worst so i always talk like i’m the best”
“i wanna erase every nasty thought, that bugs me every day of every week”

i'm bored so here are some MARINA songs i think fit the theme of your first series: Shampain (The Family Jewels), Obsessions (The Family Jewels), Hermit the Frog (The Family Jewels), Lies (Electra Heart), Starring Role (Electra Heart), Power & Control (Electra Heart), Radioactive (Electra Heart), Froot (FROOT), I'm a Ruin (FROOT), Blue (FROOT)
it has taken me forever to finally go through and listen to all of these songs, but uh yes. i picked a favorite line/verse from each and linked it with a chapter of d e s i r e d
Shampain (The Family Jewels) ⇢ r e j e c t Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding Toast to the bride, a fairy tail ending Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself Savor the taste of fabricated wealth
Obsessions (The Family Jewels) ⇢ w a n t e d  We've got obsessions I wanna erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week We've got obsessions You never told me what it was that made you strong and what it was that made you weak
Hermit the Frog (The Family Jewels) ⇢ l o n g e d When my heart just burst like a glass balloon And let it fly too high and it shattered too soon I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room I broke my glass balloon I let go of my glass balloon
Lies (Electra Heart) ⇢ satisfied You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake You're a coward 'til the end
Starring Role (Electra Heart) ⇢ w a n t e d  You don't love me, big fucking deal I'll never tell you how I feel
Power & Control (Electra Heart)  ⇢ n e e d e d Power and control. Give a little, get a lot, That's just how you are with love.
Radioactive (Electra Heart)  ⇢ d e s e r v e d My heart is nuclear Love is all that I fear I'm turning radioactive
Froot (FROOT) ⇢ w a n t e d  Hanging around like a fruit on a tree Waiting to be picked, come on cut me free
I'm a Ruin (FROOT)  ⇢ satisfied I know I’m playing with your heart And I could treat you better but I’m not that smart You still mean everything to me
Blue (FROOT) ⇢ r e j e c t Gimme everything, all your heart can bring Something good and true I don't wanna feel blue anymore

marina’s lyrics truly do speak to you on a spiritual level
“is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour?”
“sad inside in this life, unsatisfied”
“and you could buy up all of the stars, but it wouldn't change who you are. you're still living life in the dark, it's just who you are “
“i wanna stay inside all day, i want the world to go away”
“i can’t open up and cry, cause i’ve been silent all my life”
“all i ever wanted was the world”
“i feel numb most of the time”
“i’m sad to the core, everyday is a chore”
“hollywood infected your brain”
“i don’t belong to anyone”
“i do as i am told, and i dont know who i wanna be”
“i want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week “

♪ eileen!
Tourniquet- Marilyn Manson 
Prosthetic synthesis and butterfly//Sealed up with virgin stitch//If it hurts baby please tell me//Preserve the innocence//I never wanted it to end like this//But flies will lay their eggs
Ana Ng- They Might Be Giants 
They don't need me here, and I know you're there//Where the world goes by like the humid air//And it sticks like a broken record//Everything sticks like a broken record//Everything sticks until it goes away//And the truth is, we don't know anything
Obsessions- Marina And The Diamonds
I wanna erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week//We've got obsessions//You never told me what it was that made you strong and what it was that made you weak
Sick Love- Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Sick love comes to wash us away//Prisons of perspective//How your vision gets corrected and Sick love is my modern cliché//Openly defective is the lover you elected and A portrait she was bound to portray
