[LISTEN] - always an angel, never a god - a Shoko Ieiri playlist that very much is meant to represent her post chapter 236. Sad tunes by female musicians. Also - female rage. Gege doesn't seem to want to show us her feelings, so I will do it through song!
All songs are Shoko centric, but some definitely could be directed towards either Satoru or Suguru or both!!!!! I tried to have this sort of follow a narrative that takes place pre, during, and post the Shinjuku Showdown arc, while making sure the music still flowed. IDK, I took this very seriously lol.
Tracklist:
1. I don't like my mind - mitski
2. in hell - japanese breakfast
3. final girl - chvrches
4. days of oblivion - metric
5. not strong enough - boy genius
6. doomsday - lizzie mcapline
7. both all the time - faye webster
8. you always get what you want - the japanese house
9. when was that? - angus and julia stone
10. only the strong - laura marling
11. girls against god - florence + the machine
specific lyrics for each song under the cut!
I don't like my mind | mitski
I blast music loud
and I work myself to the bone
and on an inconvenient Christmas, I eat a cake
a whole cake
all for me
and then I get sick and throw up
and there's another memory that gets stuck inside the walls of my skull
waiting for its turn to talk
and it may be a few years
but you can bet it's there waiting still
for me to be left alone in a room with the things that I've done
a whole cake
so please don't take
take this job from me
in hell | japanese breakfast
with my luck, you'll be dead within the year
I've come to expect it
there's nothing left to fear, at least there's that
and under the fluorescence, another sterile room
where no one ever tells you just how clinical death looks
and I can't unsee it
the two shots it took
hell is finding someone to love and I can't have you
hell is finding someone to love and I can't see you again
final girl | chvrches
swallowing the seeds of sin we sewed into the ground
keeping secrets until everything became a bit too loud
I would wash it down, I could drown it out
by filling up the silence with an organ sound
and by writing sentences I used to think were quite profound
and it feels like the weight is too much to carry
I should quit
maybe go get married
only time will tell
in the final cut
in the final scene
there's a final girl
does she look like me?
days of oblivion | metric
all the times that now and then appear as only dreams
all the stuff from way back when that's coming up
don't self destruct
you don't have to call for the wrecking ball
or burn the world to ashes
all you have to do is ask me to
I'll stop you where the descending stairs drop
I've unlocked all the doors
and I've lost all the keys
and I live in a mansion made up from memories
I know I need you
don't ever leave me
I'll never leave you behind
I know you need me the way I need you
I'll never leave you
don't ever leave me behind
not strong enough | boy genius
do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement?
I don't know why I am the way I am
not strong enough to be your man
I lied - I am
just lowering your expectations
half a mind that keeps the other second guessing
close my eyes and count
always an angel, never a god
I don't know why I am the way I am
there's something in the static
I think I've been having revelations
coming to in the front seat, nearly empty
skip the exit to our old street and go home
go home alone
doomsday | lizzie mcalpine
doomsday is close at hand
I'll book the marching band to play as you speak
I'll feel like throwing up
you'll sit and stare like a goddamn machine
I'd like to plan out my part in this
but you're such a narcissist
that you did it on Halloween
I had no choice in the matter
why would I?
it's only the death of me
both all the time | faye webster
will I stop crying for once?
it's hurting my eyes
there's a difference between lonely and lonesome
but I'm both all the time
I'm loneliest at night
after my shower beer
and I'll go to sleep without turning out the lights
pretend like somebody's here
you always get what you want | the japanese house
and you've left now
but it's better that I know you're gone
and I breathe out
dizzy from the last hour of holding on
and does he do right by you?
and does he work so hard?
I know you'll miss me, but you'll call me back
you always get what you want
when was that? | angus and julia stone
I wonder if you can hear me
wonder if you can feel my heart beating now
I wonder if things will be okay
wonder if things will keep changing
will I fall down?
take me back to when things were easier
take me back to a place where I belong
take me back to a place that feels like home
when was that?
only the strong | laura marling
we've been here a thousand times
wish I could go back and find
letters I wrote you in my mind
perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind
hope that you can change my mind
had to leave this crying all behind
I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind
just somebody told me only and only
only the strong can survive
girls against god | florence + the machine
if they ever let me out, I'm really gonna let it out
I listen to music from 2006 and feel kind of sick
but, oh god, you're gonna get it
you'll be sorry that you messed with this
oh, tell me it's not over yet
and in my darkest fantasies, I'm the picture of passivity
waiting for you side of stage
suppressing all my private rage
oh, it's good to be alive
crying into cereal at midnight
and if they let me out, I'm really gonna let it out
when I decided to wage holy war
it very much looked like staring at my bedroom floor
but, oh god, you're gonna get it
you'll be sorry that you messed with me

feburary song recs!
this month was also CRAZY. first few days of the month were incredibly sinusoidal. i got really close with some friends, because some friends were being incredibly distant. almost threw up from disgust/stress at one point lol. but it worked out fine and the middle of the month was really fun. it reassured me that things were going to be okay. unfortunately things aren't always perfect so that doubt and mistrust keeps creeping up on me, but to be honest i don't really care much anymore. is it alright to let some things fade away?
--- newton dance - nayutalien x chinozo
okay so i heard this ruinene cover- from project sekai: a new voice, i think- on youtube and it's so cool. the voices fit so well (BOTH OF THEM) and the song is perfect for them and so cute. i love the theme of sciencey space love songs nayutalien does. it's SO CUTE. "can't fight your pull of gravity!" is so sweet. the tuning style makes it even more cuter. dfnisdfjnasdjfnadk. and nayutalien has a way of writing songs that scratch that itch in my brain- maybe it's the harmonic minor lol.
--- speak now - taylor swift
listen. i don't listen to pop. i don't like pop. i hate taylor swift. however. however. i love the story this songs tells. it's such a stereotypical straight story, I KNOW. but who doesn't love a stereotypical sort of sweet love story once in a while. the instrumentation is simple yet unique (for pop lol). the way she structures the chorus is different from other songs i've seen.
--- kosho yashiki satsujin jiken - teniwoha
otherwise known as "murder case at the mansion of antiquarian books". I LOVE SONGS THAT TELL A STORY (can you tell??) ESPECIALLY. MURDER. CASES. THAT. IS. SO COOL. sadly the lyrics are hard to understand but i still love it anyways. i especially love the wonderlands x showtime cover because the "sho" and "lie" parts are emphasized when you have several different voices, in different octaves, with different timbres. I LOVE EMU'S VOICE IN THIS. her cutesy voice is mixed with her lower register and it sounds GREAT. this is one of the (few) songs that work with her very cutesy childish voice. the line distribution makes this song so delicious. and oh my god. EVERY CHORUS. PUSHES. DOWN. A HALF STEP. THAT. IS SO COOL. it keeps dropping when you expect it to end or go higher. SADFNAISDUFNAISUDFIU. teniwoha, thank you.
--- sobakasu - judy and mary
ANOTHER recommendation from a friend. took some time to grow on me. what i find interesting is how the verses and instrumental breaks sound very different (pop vs. rock). my favorite part of this song is how raw and genuine it sounds. it's so catchy i hear myself humming this throughout the day. it's really just a sweet song (about love i think... something like love is like a freckle you can't get rid of ...?). the chorus loops in my mind. the way the singer sings it is so aosdfnasdfnjasdj. makes me smile.
--- new rules - dua lipa
okay i swear i don't like pop. i swear. i just heard it in my dance team's playlist and was like "wow i hate how much they play this song" then proceeded to loop it. i'm NOT going to say it's relatable. i'm not.
--- this is how to be in love with you/umbilical in milgram project
mahiru's cv works so well in this song. and i love the es cv cover too. this song itself is so sweet and makes you feel very warm and fuzzy though it's a little sinister lol. like... this is HOW TO BE IN LOVE WITH YOU?? what an awesome title. i really love the line that goes "if you're kind to me, i'm going to start relying on you, so thanks" or something. it's just such a fun vibe. i love when she sings "o-ver-heat" and "AI NAN DESU YO".
it's getting late so i will just say: yuno is relatable. let's reload the warmth y'all. light the oxygen on fire. or something. "i hope i can be someone you like."
honorary mentions: ke mu san (this meme song SLAPS my #1 listened to lol. the dance is addicting to watch)
