My Reylo playlist+lyrics! *Links in the titles*
Bolbbalgan4 - To My Youth
My commentary: TFL and TLJ is about transition from adolescence into adulthood. This song describes what every teenagers went through, struggling to fit in with the expectations of the others and seeking love and validation from the others. It's not just about puberty in terms of age, but it's supposed to comfort everyone going through growing pains and give them hope. In Korea, we have a saying ‘youth is pain’ or ‘it’s painful because it’s youth’ because our most painful point in our lives is during youth and our youth is bright only when we go through all the pain and suffering and come out to the end.
“At some point, I used to wish I would disappear from this world
The whole world seemed so dark and I cried every night
Will I feel better if I just disappeared?
I was so afraid of everyone’s eyes on me
During those beautifully beautiful days, I was in pain
I hated myself for not being able to receive love
The saying time is medicine was really true for me
As the days went by, I really got better
But sometimes, when I’m too happy, I’m afraid I’ll be in pain again
I’m afraid that someone will take away this happiness
Those beautifully beautiful memories were so painful
I was hurting and hurting but the pain wouldn’t go away
But still, maybe I can be
A bright light in this world
Maybe after all of that pain
I can shortly shine a light
So I couldn’t give up
I couldn’t fall asleep peacefully for a single night
Because maybe if I keep trying to get up like this
I will find myself
How painful must it have been?
How painful must it have been?
How high must my hopes have been?”
==========================================
Sasha Sloan – Version of Me
My commentary: This song reminds me how broken both Rey and Ben is because of family, loving each other will be hard and there will come a time where a version of them won’t always be happy or easy.
“Can you love, can you love
Can you love the version of me
I don't let anybody else see?
When I choke, would you try and help me breathe?
Can you love the version of me
That isn't happy all the time?
I get outta my head, get outta my mind
Can't get outta bed sometimes
And when I look at myself as if I might cry
'Cause I got some trauma, some family drama
Just thought I'd warn you
You have a hard time making sense of this
I'm the most lowkey masochist
The wrong place if you're looking for Heaven
So I got one question
Can you love the version of me
That's gonna wanna stay the night?
I get outta my head, get outta my mind
Can't be on my own sometimes
I don't even need bait, and I'll probably bite”
==========================================
Terror Jr - Terrible
My commentary: Absolutely adore this song. An insecure girl singing to a boy, wondering how he could love her when there’s a perfect girl who is as song says ‘I know a girl, she's just your type She's educated, her future is bright. I went to high school and failed one class twice’ This reminds me how embarrassed Rey felt when Kylo commented on her humble root yet still find something worthy.
“I'm so terrible, come pick me off the floor
Unrepairable, can't find an open door
I've never found somebody who could want me at my low
Now I'll never let you go cause you love me when I'm terrible”
==========================================
SVEA – Stranger
My commentary: This song just <Rey> screams ‘I don’t want Kylo, I want Ben.’
“There's a stranger in my room, room, room
And it looks a bit like you, you, you
Even touches like you do, do, do
But it's not the one I knew, the stranger in my room
Do you remember how we used to tell each other everything?
We used to laugh, but now I'm just glad if we say anything
What you say and how you act, I don't recognize it”
==========================================
Kelly Clarkson - Dark Side
My commentary: Lyrics explain it all!
“Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?”
==========================================
Phoebe Ryan - Dark Side
My commentary: Ben isn’t perfect, he is flawed and while flaws are what makes person perfect, it can be destructive and may not necessarily be the best for Rey, but she’s too deep in it to care. She find the best in them no matter what he do.
“At your worst, you're the best
Baby I don't want another version, no
Hard to love, hard to trust
But don't change
Don't be a better person for me
'Cause I'm in love with your dark side
So don't turn on the light and stay with me tonight
You're bad, this is good as it gets
I don't want nobody perfect, no
And I want to go deeper, down with you
So pull me beneath the surface
Even if it hurts, I want your heart
Even at your worst, I love you hard
If you wanna keep me, go too far”
==========================================
Syn Cole - Sway
My commentary: Resistance for the win.
“We break wars for the future
You and me caught up in the sway, sway
Open fire on the system
We'll light up the resistance
Enemies caught up in the sway, sway
These machines try to push us back but we won't move
Victory for the dreamers, nothing left to prove
Standing our ground out in the rain”
==========================================
Sabrina Carpenter - Why
My commentary: Opposite attracts
“Tell me how we're not alike
But we work so well and we don't even know why
Funny how the stars crossed right
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
You can call it fire and ice“
==========================================
VIXX – Light Up The Darkness
My commentary: Ben feels suffocated by the darkness until ray of light in the form of Rey appears.
“Come to me, come to me
You are like a ray of light
I’m disappearing into the
suffocating and deep darkness
Hold my hand
(light up the darkness)
My dear, please save me
Oh god, is there no god?
I’m disappearing so have I been cast aside?
You got, only you got the key
so open the door of heaven
Baby, I want to fly high in the sky
I’m trapped in this darkness and
I can’t breathe, take off the mask”
==========================================
Zara Larsson - Carry You Home
My commentary: Rey is willing to take care of Ben when he is at his lowest because she understands the pain well.
“I've been knocked down, I've been lost
With a ground shaking under my feet
I gave it all to someone who'd said, "fire, run"
I've been, I've been through the days
When bright love turns into hate
You bend, and you bend 'til you break
'Til the lights are gone
When the one you care for just takes it all
Washing you down like a waterfall
You lose the way and you hit the wall
I'll be the one, I'll be the one, I'll be the one to carry you home”
==========================================
Jess Glynne- I'll be there
My commentary: She’s there for me, whenever and always.
When all the tears are rolling down your face
And it feels like yours was the only heart to break
When you come back home and all the lights are out, ooh
And you're getting used to no one else being around
Oh, oh, I'll be there
When you need a little love, I got a little love to share
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
==========================================
StayLoose- Fight Back
My commentary: Resistance will fight back, never back down.
“When the light is leaving
Sun is going out
Yeah ya oooh
Living under doubts
But if we stand together
Won't fall into the night
Yeah ya oooh
So we better fight now
Heart beating for ya
I'm bleeding for ya
It's a battlefield now
And we'll never back down
I feel it more
Shaking the floor
It's a battlefield now
And we'll never back down”
