nico — a playlist made by me

listen, every time I listen to any of these songs I keep thinking of nico and his relationship with lewis so bear with me and let me explain why👇🏻

1. Unfucktheworld, Angela Olsen

The whole situation with lewis tired nico relentlessly so he needed a break to take care of himself.

It’s not just me for you I have to look out too

I have to save my life

I need some peace of mind

2. We own the sky, M83

nico dreamed all his life to race in f1 with lewis, and as a child everything seemed possible.

Each shade of blue

Is kept in our eyes

Keep blowing and lightning

Because we own the sky

But then things started to fall apart between them and there was no chance to go backwards.

Can’t we change our minds?

We kill what we build

3. The wolves (act i and ii), Bon Iver

(God this song fits both of them so well. it goes better with lewis’ perspective but humour me for this time.)

nico felt betrayed by lewis’ attitude and he was resentful. He hopesone day lewis will understand how much he hurt him.

Someday my pain will mark you

And when he will, nicowill take comfort in that, so he suggests lewis to just go ahead and finish him.

Solace my game

It stars you

Swing wide your crane, swing wide your crane

And run me through

nico reflects in hindsight how many moments they could have had but now it’s all vanished and Lewis won’t hear from him anymore.

What might have been lost (don’t bother me)

4. The great escape, Patrick Watson

The situation exhausted nico to his limits so he needed to escape, even if he loves racing so much.

Puts on a smile and breathes it in

And breathes it out, he says

Bye bye, bye to all of the noise

5. Many ways, Bombat Bicycle Club

nico doesn’t know if he is doing the right choice and can’t sleep because of it.

She said you’re stirring

Tossing, turning

But Vivian reassures him and says he is doing the right thing.

I’m sure your choice is right

Nonetheless, nico thinks he is a coward from running away and thinks there are other possibilities to make up for it.

I’ve always been a coward

Been a coward this day

There are many ways this way

6. See you soon, Coldplay

Nico has lost trust in himself and he scolds himself because he shouldn’t have fallen in love in the first place.

So you lost your trust

And you never should have

He tries to go on. He protects himself (with the bulletproof vest) from hurting again.

In a bulletproof vest

With the windows all closed

I’ll be doing my best

he watches Lewis from afar “in a telescope lens” and hopes they'll be friends again very soon.

And when all you want is friends

I’ll see you soon

7. Old friend, Mitski

Nico understands how childish was to make an insignificant thing like racing divide them.

We nearly drowned

For such a silly thing

And now that they have both someone better to take care of them they can go back being what they were, even if it means only friendship.

I’ll take coffee and talk about nothing baby

At blue diner I’ll take anything you want to give me, baby

8. Ran away, Coldplay

Another song about nico avoiding the situation with lewis.

I ran away from you

That’s all I ever do

People said to him not to mess up things, not to leave, that is stupid and won’t solve anything and yet he did it.

Everyone I know

Says I’m a fools to mess with you

And everyone I know

Says it’s such a stupid thing to do

9. Atmosphere, Joy Division

They try to talk but it’s impossible to rebuild what they lost.

Endless talking

Life rebuilding

Don’t walk away

Nico pleads lewis to stay even if he knows it’s hopeless

Don’t turn away in silence

Your confusion

My illusion

Worn like a mask of self hate

10. The Bourne identity, The Last Shadow Puppets

(okay this is the most Nico song ever written so bear with me for just a little longer)

Nico understands that his insecurities are ruining his relationship with lewis. He always feels smaller compared to lewis’ grandness and he masks his doubts with confidence, like he usually does when he answers journalists question. He creates another new person, but now this facade is cracking and it’s revealing his true self and he hates it.

He’s kind of my enemy

Whenever I’m on to something good you see

He always wanted in to spoil it for me

That’s because the relationship with lewis makes him do this. He doesn’t need to hide with him, so he keeps cracking and cracking.

Glass bottomed ego

Still afloat but can’t you see the cracking appearing in the base?

He always scolds himself for this and for the mistakes he makes. He beats himself up so much that nothing will be left in the end.

Let’s just have a buzz because by the time I’m done fucking beating myself up there will nothing left love

So he leaves. He doesn’t want Lewis to see him like this.

Yeah I’ll be leaving now, I’m making tracks

And I doubt that I’ll be coming back.

If you made it this far thank you for your attention. Hope you enjoyed the songs and the explanations as much as I did🤍

up close and personal

Lewis: That's ridiculous. Seb doesn't have a crush on me.

Lance: Yes he does.

Valtteri: Yes he does.

Seb: Yes I do.
