i'm going to put it into the ether so that, like. i can rest and have peace again.

ideally.

writers see the nero/sporus storyline through to the unconscionable end.

if the writers went so far as to have shiv literally fall down the steps, lol why drop it now lets keep it rollin.

is four episodes enough time for 1) sh*v metaphorical death, 2) kendall/rom lose power, 3) tom head of waystar, 4) gregtom gay and 5) suprise apperance greg's gay dad?

lol probably not. but i need to get this pipe dream out of my brain so i can sleeeep.

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6

PART 3: "DETERMINED"

after almost a month and a half, you’ve developed a strong friendship with neteyam, lo’ak and spider. your language lessons quickly increased from weekly to at least 4 times a week. every lesson you did everything but learn the language, the two hours were spent making endless jokes and creating chaos around the lab.

today, neteyam was doing some 'eldest duties', as he'd call it, so it was only you, spider and lo'ak. the exact recipe for disaster.

normally you'd agree to any sort of adventure lo'ak would suggest, but this was the first time he'd asked you to leave the lab,

"no." you lightly shook your head and folded your arms

"what'd you mean no?! you literally go outside all the time." lo'ak exclaimed, flailing his arms around

"that's not the point! I've never gone that far from the lab before and you're far from a reliable tour guide." you turn to spider, who was sat on your bed. "you agree with me right?"

"come on y/n! don't be a fnawe'tu" spider teased, lightly pushing your shoulder

"if we get caught I know you'll be in trouble," you said, looking at lo'ak, "but if your father even says a word to me, I think I'll start crying"

"yeah, yeah lets hurry and go!" lo'ak rolled his eyes, grabbed your hand and walked out the door

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。

"woah.." you whispered, looking up at the scene in front of you. somehow, you, lo'ak, spider, kiri and tuk (who had blackmailed lo'ak into letting them tag along) had stumbled upon an old battlefield. you stood in shock as you examined a massive abandoned ship. it was covered in a thick layer of vegetation, meaning the battle had taken place at least 10 years ago.

lo'ak was the first to climb onto the ship, lending down his hand to pull you up, while spider and kiri stayed below to look after tuk.

"this is so cool!" lo'ak proclaimed, picking up one of the many weapons scattered across the ship floor.

you continued to walk deeper into the ship, stopping to look at every dead body you passed. you'd heard about a faraway planet on earth but you never really thought about what humans were doing on it, but after seeing so many lifeless bodies you concluded that what happened wasn't good.

"y/n! lets go look somewhere else," lo'ak called, putting down the gun he'd picked up.

"you guys go on ahead, I'll be out in a minute!" you replied,

"you sure?" lo'ak asked, a hint of worry in his voice,

"mhm, hurry and kä already!" you shouted, then you heard lo'ak jump off the ship and start walking off with the rest of the group.

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。

after five minutes or so, you decided that your exploring had come to an end and made your way off the ship.

"I know I told them to go ahead, but I didn't think they'd leave!" you sighed, looking around in disbelief. "if you're ever lost, just walk straight," you muttered, pushing a leaf the size of a door out of your way. you continued to walk forward, muttering to yourself, as you tried to find your friends or at this point anybody.

a loud scream pulled you from your thoughts, you hid behind a nearby tree and tried to look for the cause of the sound. it felt like your heart had stopped beating when you saw lo'ak, tuk, kiri and spider in the hands of a group of na'vi; no these weren't na'vi they had guns, which could only mean they were human.

you'd heard about humans with na'vi bodies, but seeing them in real life was terrifying.

'I'm not letting them kill my friends.' you thought, not noticing the strong feeling of determination growing in your gut. the tree you hid behind was closest to tuk, so you climbed onto a branch that was directly above the avatar that was holding her.

'my legs better not fail me now..' you positioned yourself on the branch so you'd be able to swing down and hopefully grab tuk. you picked a fruit from the tree and decided you'd smash it in the avatar's face so they'd let go of tuk.

'3..2...1!' you swung down and using all of your arm strength, smashed the fruit directly in the avatar's face successfully making them let go of the youngest sully. you grabbed up tuk by the waist and sat upright on the tree branch.

however, you had no time to rest, as countless bullets were fired at you and tuk. you tightened your grip around tuk and jumped off the tree, running away as fast as you could. once the gunfire ceased, you took cover behind a bush and tried to catch your breath.

you looked at tuk's petrified face, tears streaming down her cheeks, "hey, hey! its okay its just me," you used her thumb to wipe away her tears. "n-nyga..lu fìtsan..tstue" you tried your hardest to comfort her in a familiar language, but you both knew you weren't that advanced yet.

tuk let out a quiet giggle at your poor attempt, "I think you meant, nga lu fìtxan tstew" you chuckled sheepishly, promising to never try to speak a full sentence in na'vi again.

"stay here, if neteyam was doing his normal look-out route, assuming he is coming with your parents, they should fly past here in...around 8 minutes." you stood up and dusted yourself off, failing to notice the deep bullet wound in your bicep.

"wait! your arm-"

you cut tuk off not processing what she was trying to point out, "don't worry, I'm going back for your siblings, but do not move. your parents will be here soon"

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。

you hid behind a tree trunk, looking at the scene in front of you. one of the avatars was standing in front of lo'ak, you were too far away to hear what they were saying but you could tell that the conversation didn't seem too friendly. you felt your body tense as you saw a sharp knife pointed to lo'ak's neck, you frantically looked around trying to find anything that could you help the with current situation. you picked up a nearby rock and threw it with all your might, and to your surprise, it knocked the knife straight from the avatar's hand.

however this time you weren't able to get away.

a muscular blue hand tightly grabbed your left arm and roughly pulled you towards them.

the 'leader' avatar turned to you and let out a dry chuckle, "who have we got here?" he made a signal to the avatar holding you , making them kick the back of your legs, knocking you to the ground.

"aren't you an interesting one? you look like a human yet you've got no mask.." using one hand, he gripped your face, turning it side to side as he examined it.

"quaritch! let go of her!" lo'ak shouted, tugging his hands away roughly to try and free himself.

quaritch payed no mind to lo'ak's struggle and knelt down in front of you. "now you could be a good little girl and come with us, or you might lose one of your little friends."

"why would I listen to a grown man who had to find a whole new body, because he was so insecure of his skill level." you spat. the avatar holding you dug their fingers into the wound on your right arm, causing you to cry out in agonising pain.

"nothing...nothing, you do will change the fact that you're a w-" you were cut off by a strong kick in your back forcing your face into the forest floor.

"what a shame. either way, you will be coming with me." quaritch scoffed, clutching your hair tugging your head upwards to make eye contact.

an abrupt shrill sound caught lo'ak and kiri's attention, you'd never met their parents but you could tell by the look of relief that covered their faces mean that help has finally arrived.

not even a minute later, an arrow shot through the head of the avatar holding kiri. you used the opportunity to break free from capture and run mindlessly into the wilderness of pandora.

you kept looking behind you, trying to make sure nobody was following you. suddenly, you ran straight into a tall, blue figure.

"..ow! oh, neteyam!" you took a step back, smiling cheerfully at your friend

"y/n! your bleeding," neteyam took hold of your injured arm, examining the wound.

"..." you paused letting the remaining adrenaline vanish from your body. "I've been shot." your mouth hung wide open, looking at the scarlet liquid ooze from your arm. "I'VE BEEN SHOT!? WHAT DO I DO?" you let out a petrified squeal, holding out your arm in the air.

"mawey 'eylan, mawey" neteyam hushed, "get on my ikran, I'll get you some help." neteyam lifted you onto his ikran and got on behind you, wrapping an arm around your waist to keep you secure.

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。

"neteyam! what took you so long?" jake asked, turning to his eldest son

"I found y/n in the forest, she was shot," neteyam demounted his ikran then gently lowered you down.

"..uh I'm sorry for the...inconvenience..sir," you grunted, trying your hardest to ignore the throbbing pain in your arm.

jake looked at you in disbelief before letting out a stressed sigh, rubbing his temples, "..it's..it's fine kid. kiri, take y/n back to the lab. and take tuk with you"

kiri scoffed, looking her father up and down. it was clear she did not want to move.

"now!" jake yelled, not wanting to deal with her antics any longer.

"follow me." kiri sighed, rolling her eyes as she walked off. "i'm not gonna walk all the way back to the lab, so I'll take you to the tsahìk"

"does the tsahìk even treat humans?" you asked hesitantly

"I'll guess we'll have to find out" kiri dismissed, taking hold of your uninjured arm pulling you along

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。

you sat in front of the tsahìk letting out quiet painful groans as a healing paste was applied to your wound.

"I wouldn't normally do this for a human..but since you got hurt saving my family, I'll let you off," Mo'at mumbled

"y/n was so cool! she swung upside down like 'whoosh!' and beat up the bad guy!" tuk exclaimed, doing her best to act out the previous events

"I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.." you muttered embarrassed by tuk's praise

"be careful with that arm from now on. it should heal completely in a couple of weeks," the tsahìk said, putting away her medicinal paste and bandages.

"..irayo" you thanked, standing up and preparing to leave

"kea tìkin, it's my job after all" Mo'at reassured, smiling gently at you

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。

it was now the next day, you knew neteyam and lo'ak were probably grounded for life, but when they didn't show up to your 'language' lesson you couldn't help but frown.

"flo, please, please can I go out?" you begged, shaking her shoulders desperately

"the last time I let you do that you almost got yourself killed." florence reminded, her eyes not moving from her computer screen,

"you told me 'not socialising is bad for my mental health', but now you're trying to keep me from socialising! I won't do anything dangerous, please!"

florence paused for a second, before taking a deep breath and saying, "fine, but you need to be back in 2 hours."

"okay!" you chirped, skipping out of the lab doors

"I'm gonna regret that..." florence groaned,

neteyam's ears perked up upon hearing a knock on his front door. when he got up to answer it, he was surprised to see you standing there

"y/n? are you supposed to be here?"

"neteyam! hii! are your parents home?" you asked, trying to peer over his shoulder to see inside

"no my mother went out with tuk and kiri and my dad left to go over the lab 10 minutes ago," neteyam answered, still confused as to why you even knew where he lived

"great! can I come in?"

a/n: thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed <3

There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

[Chorus]

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know they won't win

[Verse 2]

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof

In the paper today, tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the TV page

[Chorus]

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know they won't win

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

[Chorus]

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

You know they won't win

[Outro]

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win

They come, they come

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now (Yeah)

Hey now, hey now

SongFacts:

"Don't Dream It's Over" is a song by rock band Crowded House, recorded for their 1986 self-titled debut studio album. The song was composed and written by New Zealand frontman Neil Finn, and released in October 1986 as the fourth single from the album.

The song became the band's biggest international hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in April 1987. "Don't Dream It's Over" was also a great success in Finn's native country of New Zealand, where it reached Number 1. It also topped the charts in Canada, while in Australia it peaked at No. 8. In continental Europe, it reached No. 6 in Norway, No. 7 in the Netherlands, and No. 13 in Germany. At the 1986 Countdown Australian Music Awards the song was nominated for three awards, winning Best Video.

The music video for the song was created by Australian film production company Meaningful Eye Contact and was directed by Alex Proyas. It was filmed in Sydney at an abandoned theatre in Balmain. The video features some surreal special effects such as household objects – including shattering crockery – and film reels that float in the air, with lead singer Finn playing a guitar and walking through the same house during different time periods while his bandmates are either performing household chores or playing various backing instruments. It was nominated for Best Group Video and Best Direction at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and earned the group a Best New Artist award.

Don’t Dream It’s Over - THE PAIRINGS

There's a battle ahead. Many battles are lost. But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me… Hey now, hey now. Don't dream it's over.

Below is a breakdown of all of the nightmares characters now find themselves in written out in the form of a prompt. We hope that these pairings can be a way you can write with someone you may not have otherwise and, as we mentioned below, you can still feel free to continue all of your previous threads. These nightmare threads are designed to help build muse and connections, but you can still continue to write out any previous threads you may have had before this.

NIGHTMARE #1: HAUNTED BY YOU

Trigger Warnings: Death tw, Murder tw

Players: Paloma ( @lunadefresa ) & Azra ( @moonsongchorus ) find themselves trapped in a nightmare crafted for Esen ( @esendemirtas )

Prompt: Esen, Paloma and Azra all open their eyes to find themselves standing within the Styx Passage Cemetery. There is mist all around them and, as Paloma and Azra call out to each other, Azra realizes she can no longer speak to her husband. His ghost is no where to be found and she seems to have lost contact with him. Devastated and confused, they find their way to Esen who is distracted by her brother who is standing before her, very much alive. Rather than being a vampire, Esen is once again 'a witch' who appears to have found a way to bring her brother back to life using dark magic. Only her brother didn't want to come back. He's furious at Esen for forcing him to return to the land of the living and even more so for being the one responsible for killing him to begin with.

Help is on the way: We recommend for you to write out two rounds of replies before a fae will enter the nightmare to help instruct you on how to get out. Your fae is Dilan Selvi ( @moonsongchorus ). When Dilan enters the dreamscape, they will be able to tell you that you are, in fact, trapped in a dream. Nothing you are experiencing is real. But, the only way out is to face your fear and overcome your nightmare. Azra will need to accept a reality in which her husband is dead. Esen will need to face the guilt she has for her brother's death and Paloma will need to confront how her humanity makes her feel helpless and how she can't always help her friends. Some of your characters will not be able to overcome their fears and that is perfectly alright, but if one of you is able to face your fear and get out, you will be able to pull someone else out of the nightmare (more information on this to come - please notify an admin when you have gotten to this stage).

NIGHTMARE #2: WHO LET THE WOLVES OUT

Trigger Warnings: Death tw, Murder tw, Blood tw

Players: Safiye ( @moonglowmagic ) & Shay ( @selcnophile) find themselves trapped in a nightmare crafted for Kitty ( @pitymisskitty )

Prompt: Kitty, Shay and Safiye all open their eyes to find themselves standing on the Town Green in the dead of night. Kitty is in her full wolf-form in the center of the grassy knoll surrounded by a number of towns people all dead. Blood stains her fur. Kitty is stuck as a wolf and on the attack, while Shay and Safiye, two werewolves who are also not part of the pack, are left to make a choice. Either they can transform to save themselves or stay a human and die at Kitty's hands.

Help is on the way: We recommend for you to write out two rounds of replies before a fae will enter the nightmare to help instruct you on how to get out. Your fae is Billie Fitz ( @swimmingwiththefitzes ). When Billie enters the dreamscape, they will be able to tell you that you are, in fact, trapped in a dream. Nothing you are experiencing is real. But, the only way out is to face your fear and overcome your nightmare. Some of your characters will not be able to overcome their fears and that is perfectly alright, but if one of you is able to face your fear and get out, you will be able to pull someone else out of the nightmare (more information on this to come).

NIGHTMARE #3: HAPPY DEATH DAY

Prompt: Bri, Frankie, Nico and Ben all open their eyes to find themselves back at the Ren Faire. Only the Ren Faire they find themselves in is a deserted and twisted version of their own imagination. As they wander around the empty fairgrounds, they can't seem to find another person in sight and, yet, as Bri turns on her heels an axe seems to fling through the air, penetrating deep into her back. Rather than being a vampire, Bri quickly realizes that in this nightmare she is all too human. The others rush to Bri's side in an attempt to save her only for Bri to die and the nightmare to reset. Now Bri opens her eyes and spins around to face Nico who has just stabbed her with a lance. Next, Frankie pulls Bri out of the way of the lance only to inadvertently push her down the well. The cycle will repeat again and again Happy Death Day style. Bri is always human. Sometimes, she's being hunted by a mysterious force, sometimes she's dying final destination style. While other times it is Frankie, Nico and Ben who are accidentally killing her. But, one way or another, they have to watch her die repeatedly unable to stop it or save her.

Help is on the way: We recommend for you to write out two rounds of replies before a fae will enter the nightmare to help instruct you on how to get out.

She won the trials and now has to cope with how she is failing as a leader and everyone in the coven hates her/wants her overthrown. Poppy, Alyssa and Linden rush to Briar's side in an attempt to help the youngest of the family only to realize that no one seems to want Poppy as the Supreme either, being happy that she is no longer their leader. The entire coven has turned on the Reeds wanting to chase them out of town. Meanwhile, Nesrim has once again lost the trials of Supreme. The ancestors refuse to acknowledge her despite everyone in the Coven wanting her as leader instead.

Help is not on the way: Currently all of the fae are preoccupied with other dreams at the moment. You'll have to wait until a fae has managed to free all of the individuals of their assigned nightmare to come and help you. But, in the meantime, you will have the chance to free yourself by coming to terms with your fears. Some of your characters will not be able to overcome their fears and that is perfectly alright, but if one of you is able to face your fear and get out, you will be able to pull someone else out of the nightmare (more information on this to come).

Prompt: Jonah and Rohan decide to get out of town. The pair are in a car together speeding towards the town border. Jonah, despite knowing he'll lose his memories, has decided to leave Lunar Cove with Rohan who promised to live a human life with him, only Rohan isn't ready to give up his magic just yet. As they speed over the town border, a wolf darts out of nowhere and the car ends up spinning off the road, having collided with the wolf in the process. Rohan pulls himself out of the car to find Jonah laying out in the road, barely hanging on. The wolf they hit was Kotaro Matsui, Ken's brother. Ken, witnessing the crash, speeds over. Rohan now has the choice- they can perform dark magic and save either Kotaro or Jonah's life, but in doing so, death will come and claim the life of Ken. Who will Rohan chose to save- his boyfriend, his best friend, or his best friend's brother?

Ronnie is rich and famous, while Bexley is beloved by all and has finally found the family she so desires. Only their dream quickly begins to go south. The cure they've both taken from Caleb over at Micah Labs is beginning to wear off for just the two of them, but no one else in town.

They're coming towards a dead end, but there is no turning back. They are currently being hunted by a version of Kari who has no recollection of them. Kari believes she is still a hunter and that Mason and Priya are too dangerous to let live. Priya and Mason come to a speeding halt just as the edge of the cliffs come into sight. But, the bottom of Mason's shoes have lost all of their traction and they slip forwards. Priya grabs onto Mason as they dangle over the side of the cliffs. Now, Priya is left with an impossible choice- she can let go of Mason and save herself or she can save Mason just as Kari's arrow heads straight towards her chest. The choice is hers.

Hey now, hey now There is freedom within There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me

[brightlotusmoon]

Natalie Imbruglia - Don't Dream It's Over (Live on The Chris Evans Break...

There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

[funeralcryptid]

I am very glad and grateful that you decided to come back and take some of us with you on your journey. I guess one of the reasons why even if many readings have been refused you still have a lot to catch up with is because it's time we all changed. And so am I. And so are you.

But I feel incredibly lost.

I do know I was born for a reason, and yet I think I did something wrong since I am not interested in anything, not even a single thing, which is sad because all I really want is to dedicate myself to something meaningful. Something that makes me want to wake up in the morning and go to work willingly and happily. Something that makes me feel anything and stops me from feeling as if my life is meaningless and I belong to nowhere.

I guess with that my question would be if the cards have any guidance for me. And my offering for you would be one of the memories that makes me feel alive and give life one more try because it's just that beautiful: I was walking around the lake when I realized the sunset was turning the sky pink, and it's a pink so pretty that it makes you wonder and your tears wet your cheeks without you knowing. It's one of the rare times I feel like I am truly alive, and I love it very much and hopefully you'll love it too.

Thank you and I wish you a pleasant day ahead. Take care.

Welcome back,

It's a pleasure many of you have decided to join me on this journey.

I keep your offering safe.

I do see the stars appear to shine for the night and not for you, dreams and ideas that once proved exciting have no power or charm anymore. With this, I immediately see a message for balance. Balancing your higher consciousness with your body and your mundane life. You're being called to find what you want to excite you inside of yourself, to manifest it in your life, to materialize it and to live by it. Working on yourself spiritually and body wise will lead to a good balance in which you won't even feel the need to have outer triggers for happiness. It can be as simple as mixing meditation with working out, or it could be something more complex as to submitting your being to transfiguration to assign yourself a purpose you can fulfill and most importantly, one that you can willingly stand by.

It is time you leave the never-ending battle of rejection. Entertaining issues that only make your head hurt will lead nowhere. It is also time to leave toxic spaces. You would be surprised to realize that sometimes we can be the toxic influence in our own life. But that is not to blame you; rather to open your eyes to the truth that you have a say in what goes, more than what you realize.

Last, you're being called to follow your spirit with conviction. Maybe you do so in the dark, blinded, but along the way you will find thousands of glimmers, thousands of fires that will guide you as you grow more confident in your journey,

Find comfort and company in those who are different and that which you wouldn't have considered in the past. You have to open yourself to open the world to you.

I hope you find this reading insightful xx

An Overview of Love From 1692

Ship Name - Love From 1692

Character - Abraham Alastor

Self Insert - Leah Barrowe

Attuned Blorbo Reminder Songs

Backstory:

Along with Jerusha Aleworth, Leah Barrowe was a late newcomer to the town of Little Hope. Leah generally kept to herself most of the time, which caught the attention of Abraham Alastor, who began seeking her out.

At some point, Jerusha and Leah had a falling out, resulting in the two despising each other, right as the Little Hope Witch Trials of 1692 began with Amy Lambert's execution. Believing that things were going to get worse from here on out, Leah sought refuge with Abraham; which only progressed their current relationship further.

During the 2019 groups horror filled exploration of Little Hope, Leah confuses Andrew for Abraham initially until Abraham himself meets Andrew. This leads to Leah meeting with Lillian.

Promising to aid Andrew and Lillian in serving justice to Reverend Carver (and Jerusha, as it's believed that she may have also had a hand in this), Leah convinces Abraham to listen to Andrew about Carver's bible.

“Listen to him, Abraham- I too have seen the Reverend's bible, such crude drawings..” - Leah Barrowe, convincing Abraham.

Afterwards, Leah and Abraham live together, eventually marrying at some point. As seen earlier in the graveyard by John, Andrew, and Angela, Leah's grave sits next to Abrahams.

the lyrics.

There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know that they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing my suspicion but there's no proof

In the paper today, tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know that they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

You know that they won't win

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now

They come, they come

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now.

Hmmm top five favorite song lyrics?

do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? (i was a teenage anarchist by against me!) *this line is so nostalgic for me because yes. yes i do. **link to the acoustic bc the video has police brutality in it

if dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts (mrs potter's lullaby by counting crows)

there's a battle ahead / many battles are lost / but you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me (don't dream it's over by crowded house)

true that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me / that the sound of the saw must be known by the tree / must be felled for to fight the cold / i fretted fire, but that was long ago (would that i by hozier)

it's not right, it's not right / how am i the only one who sees fight? / what are we? who are they? / who says those bastards don't deserve to pay? / well it's enough, yes it's enough, 'cause we don't stand a chance / so long as they're around, you're just another song and dance / it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair / still i'm the only one who seems to care (it's not my fault i'm happy by passion pit)

honroary mention to i think every verse of leonard cohen's hallelujah. not sure where i could find an audio of the entire thing or if there is one.

this was so difficult!!! fighting for lyrics that are meaningful to me vs lyrics that i just really like. pain. agony. i also like a lot of lyrics from these songs so picking just a few lines was. hard.
