i just think that in a crowd unfamiliar I just wanna touch a familiar face and make friends at the parties I've feared the likes of an age to be wanted with truth and make formidable love see light in myself that I see inside everyone else I know it's not a lacking of spine nor of physical pulse it's just a feeling of distance akin to a feeling of loss of love in the youth of my limited life that passed in a violent and ritual screwing inside and the years unfamiliar are made of increasingly digital days and I am grieving the loss of myself with frightening malaise when there's weightless in youth and the sum of it's small just stand in the darkness and laugh with your heel on its throat 'Cause not everything means something, honey so say the unsayable say the most human of things and if everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable terrible triteness of being alone in my house frozen in time but don't get me wrong now, honey I am trying

I know all of you know Achilles Come Down from front to back but how many have listened to the rest of the album cause it slaps.

The way the instrumental Le Réel turns into The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows...

Poetry

#the way the themes of overcoming keeps returning #gang of youths #achilles come down #go farther in lightness #the chorus to deepest sighs frankest shadows...... like a gun to my head #say the unsayable say the most human of things #if everything is temporary i will bear the unbearable terrible triteness of being

The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows is 1) a fucking brilliant song that I think everyone should listen to at least once and 2) is Kent Parson.

And not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things And if everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being

Like I don't know, maybe it's just me projecting onto Sad White Boy but that feels so particularly perfect for him. He just says shit and maybe he doesn't actually believe any of it.

Also, the song is apparently from the singer's perspective of sitting alone in his house examining, basically, the existence of FOMO and how we constantly fear that we aren't doing enough with our lives, and I feel like that pairs REALLY WELL with Kent and Jack's stories and lives? Because they both wanted hockey for, I think, the wrong reasons. They eventually find the right reasons in fandom and HC, but that to me reads the same as wanting to experience life in certain ways for the wrong reasons.

#grey's song recs #i guess that's a thing since this is the second song inspired thing i've posted lmao #sometimes i have thoughts #not PJO #OMGCP #omgcheckplease #kent parson #jack zimmermann

@bandsanitizer asked: a playlist based on/around comedown and your interpretation/feelings of it?

1k celebration event

comedown to me is really about allowing yourself to grow through the good and the bad and everything in between. “let it come down on me” speaks so much to me and i love how comedown wraps up the album SO well!! this playlist is kinda built around that idea of allowing yourself to feel it all, highlighting different emotions and with a focus on the comforting and hopeful nature that i find in comedown

i put a lot of thoughts into this (maybe too much lol), so under the cut is a little commentary for each song :)

comedown - it’s a playlist built around comedown, so comedown naturally had to go first! it really sets the mood for the whole thing

the deepest sighs, the frankest shadows by gang of youths - first of all, comedown transitions so well into this!! this song to me highlights that human life isn’t perfect and that there’s beauty to be found in that. on every playlist to which i add comedown, this one usually follows. i particularly like the chorus:

'Cause not everything means something, honey

so say the unsayable, say the most human of things

and if everything is temporary

I will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being

no choir by florence + the machine - this songs tells me that happiness can be simple, quiet, it doesn’t have to always be loud, and i love that quite a lot!

both sides now by gang of youth - this is a cover of a joni mitchell song, and i love this version. this song highlights how there are multiple sides to each situation, and to me personally i interpret it as being able to look back at your life experiences and see new perspectives, that make you appreciate a moment more deeply, and somewhere in between, to not get too caught up in your own versions of things, a ‘to live more freely in the moment’ kind of thing!

your hand in mine by explosions in the sky - this one is all instrumental!! there’s a 8 minute long version of this song that’s incredible, but for this playlist i went with the shorter one. i love how with only instrumentals, this song makes me feel so much!

repeat by luke hemmings - i love the songwriting on this song, it’s really one of my fav songs off wfttwtaf. the whole album is very introspective in nature, but repeat and comedown (along with starting line) were the ones that personally spoke to me the most. i’ve since then kinda always associated comedown and repeat together, just from how i could relate to the lyrics and how they quickly became favourites!

carry you by novo amor - the build-up!!! this song is here because of how it builds and explodes, similarly to comedown. it nurtures that same emotion in me.

O by coldplay - gorgeous song!! i just really like the image of the birds and flying in this song, which i’ve always associated with kind of removing weight of our shoulders to allow us to fly with the birds. i’m not gonna get all philosophical here, but there’s a lot i could say about this one!

how can i make it okay by wolf alice - ahhhh this song!! i added this one as a small nod to the silver lining on camellia street lyrics. i just really love these lyrics

So how can I make it okay?

I just want you to be happy

nothing else is as important as that to me

and

to live in fear isn't to live at all :’)

waves by young the giant - again, i like the imagery, specially the image of waves to represent the up and downs. the second verse lyrics really speaks to me for that

Fight the fear, taste the grip, feel the slip, shake the soul, feel the waves

in and out, and in and out, and in and out

outer space/carry on by 5sos - osco kinda just had to be here, right? my og ‘it’s gonna get better’ song. i once said osco just heightens whatever i’m feeling in that moment, and comedown kinda does the same thing!

free if we want it by nothing but thieves - man this song just makes me feel things. i really wanted it on here 1- because i absolutely adore this song and wanted to share it and 2- the outro is everything

spark by amber run - i really love the repeated “let the light in” lyrics, it just really accentuates that positive feeling, it’s so good!!

do not let your spirit wane by gang of youths - my hopeful song of excellence!! nothing speaks to me more than that sentence. and i love how it builds!!! i knew right away i wanted to end the playlist with this one (fyi gang of youth’s go farther in lightness album fits very well thematically with comedown, if ever you want to give it a listen)

patience by the lumineers - i love this piano track, and it played after do not let your spirit wane while i was putting this together and it fitted so nicely, so i left it here. i like that it ends the playlist of a soft, hopeful note <3

for anyone that has made it this far and listens to the playlist, feel free to send me your thoughts or song suggestions, i am always more than down for that!! <3

#redrattlers1k #music #playlists #comedown #i really did put way too much thought into this but oh well #i had fun!! #alright posting this before the 5sos chaos that will be tomorrow!!! #i reallyyyy wanted to get all the requests done within a month but alas i still have a couple left #so yeah for anyone reading this that had sent something in i’m working on them asap!! #just a little update:)

not saying i'm hot but i think that listening to the deepest sighs, the frankest shadows by gang of youths and whisper screaming the lyrics, "if everything is temporary, I'll bear the unbearable terrible triteness of being alone in my house, frozen in time, but don't get me wrong now honey I'm trying" while im doing (read: crying while trying) trigonometry, is kinda hot. and sad. yeah.

when Gang Of Youths wrote “not everything means something honey / so say the unsayable / say the most human of things / and if everything is temporary / i can bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being” and “cause there are feelings that are strong / and ones that are mixed / at the dawn of my young life’s eclipse / i was a boy once; now i’m a kind-of-adult / catching up on all the cool shit i missed” and “i used to want to be important / now i just want to be alive and without fear” and “i wanna be loved / i wanna be whole again / so tuck my hair behing my ear and touch my soul again” and—

[foreigndivinities]

naturalism (if you want to offer an album rather than a song, please go ahead and share with us)

Naturalism: (Representation) What song would you use to describe yourself and why?

the deepest sighs, the frankest shadows by gang of youths. i love the music, it starts out slow for a minute or two then it picks up pace to alt rock in the chorus. and then there are THE LYRICS—dave le'aupepe is an actual genius. the whole song is written so profoundly. sometimes i think of quotes and poems and feel this aching in my chest, either because the words are so beautiful or they resonate with me so much; when these words are strung together in a melody with music that also resonates with me it hits even harder. the song is about living but it doesn't exactly have a motivational, get-out-there, make-the-most-out-of-everything message. it's still very assuring though. it acknowledges that there are lots of weights we're forced to carry through our lives but it also reminds us that we're all going through it, we're all uncertain about life and struggling, trying to just keep up with the flow

the line that i think about a lot that really connects with me (which is in the chorus), is "and if everything is temporary / i will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being". not to get all deep or philosophical but it does help whenever i'm at low points and wonder what the point of all this is. the concept of living and being has been ebbing at me throughout this past year and amongst all my other feelings of "god i need something more" or "what is living if i'm stuck in this bleak cycle" or "i need to feel something, to feel pain, to truly feel alive" or sometimes just "everything feels unbearable in the stalest way and i don't know when it will stop" this is the most comforting. (i just realized this was supposed to be about a song i'd use to describe myself and i didn't specifically answer that but i guess to sum it up, the thought of living and being, of the struggles in both and how to navigate through that and how to feel like i am truly living and being has circulated through my mind so much this past year that it's a significant part of me now. that's why i picked this song)

      HERE  LIES  THE  FIRST  TIME  YOU  WERE  WRONG . ( x )

BEFORE    ––   how  far  would  you  go  to   right  the  wrongs  wrought  to  your  blood?  you  and  your  red  right  hand  of  vengeance  are  wound  up  and  itching  to  strike  before  you  can  even  place  a  face  or  a  name  to  your  target.  fury.  fury  in  the  way  your  body  shakes  at  night  under  a  cloak  of  invisibility.  how  many  sleepless  nights  does  it  take  to  alienate  yourself  from  everyone  who  ever  knew  you,  to  ward  off  anyone  who’d  ever  try?  you  hide  behind  your  coping  mechanisms  that  do  more  harm  than  good,  and  willfully  blind  yourself  in  doing  so.  you  would  do  anything,  anything,  anything,  to  make  it  right.  would  he  be  proud  to  see  you  bloody  both  hands?  would  that  make  it  right?  potter,  when  those  rose-colored  glasses  come  off,  what  do  you  see?  

AFTER    ––   the  truth  spills  out  in  bittersweet  twists  and  torrents.  almost  everyone  you  knew.  everyone  you  loved.  everyone  you  ever  loved.  and  you,  jerked  around  between  them  like  an  unwitting  jester.  did  they  have  to  try  hard  to  stifle  a  laugh  when  you  spoke  to  them  in  confidence?  they  made  a  mockery  out  of  you,  out  of  him,  but  you  helped  them  do  it.  the  game  is  over  because  you’ve  overturned  the  board.  a  finality  payed  for  by  the  ruin  of  your  old  life,  your  old  self.  you  roll  onto  your  back  and  stare  into  the  sun  for  the  first  time,  truly  seeing.  make  peace  with  lady  death,  and  let  her  come  to  you  on  her  own  terms.  you  live  for  yourself,  now.  rise  from  the  ashes,  dawn  bringer,  and  realize  :  unless  you  fight  for  something,  you  will  die  for  nothing.
