#I wanna run so far I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come I'd block the sun

[oneiroy]

Day 8 - Dark

sometimes you have to hit your demons over the head with a shovel and burry them alive

[amiracleilluminated]

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gone I wanna run so far I'd beat the mornin' before the dawn has come I'd block the sun if you want it done

[ladystardusts-world]

"I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin'

Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun

If you want it done"

I NEED A FANFIC ABOUT THIS VERSE RIGHT NOW PLEASE GOD 🙏 😭

[lesbian-i-ching]

What you're given, what you live in Darlin', it finds a way to live in you And your heart, love, has such darkness I feel it in the corners of the room

(If I was any closer) After the gloom (I could only lose me) I wanna lose me (If I fade away, let me fade away) I, I wanna fade away with you (If I was any closer) If I was any closer (I could only lose me) I could be lost (If I fade away, let me fade away) No more than I was or than I

Want to be when you fall on me like night, every time And I want to be so far from sight and mind I wanna kill the lights

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd movе so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gonе I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

Let all time slow, let all light go I don't need to know where we begin and end I'd still know you, not being shown you I only need the workin' of my hands

(If I was any closer) Do you understand? (I could only lose me) I wanna lose me (If I fade away, let me fade away) I, I wanna fade away with you (If I was any closer) If I was any closer (I could only lose me) I could be lost (If I fade away, let me fade away) No more than I was or than I

Want to be when you fall on me like night I wanna kill the lights

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gone I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

(If I was any closer, I could only lose me) (If I fade away, let me fade away) (If I was any closer, I could only lose me) (If I fade away, let me fade away)

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gone I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

An event that defines your character's past

Lara - The Arcadian Wild

I've mentioned it a few times before, but this song was the initial inspiration for zephyr as a character <3

Lara, don't you let 'em get your head down

They don't know a thing about the rain clouds

They don't even know which way the wind's bound

So how could they know your name?

Lara, don't you let 'em get your head down

You're carrying the fire, don't forget now

You're living in a land that's all but run down

So how could they know your name?

^ when zephyr was a kiddo, she had trouble making friends and used to get bullied by other kids for her air genasi powers. This song represents her grandfather encouraging her and reminding he and her namesake, zephyr's late father, love her.

How your character sees themselves

Bird Song - Juniper Vale

I want to dance on the horizon line

But there is something I am caged behind

I have a heart made for take flight

But I'm low, so low

^ this part references the trouble she can have connecting with others, and her desire to do so despite the difficulty.

I want to join in with the meadowlarks

Chase after the song of where the wild things are

The symphony's awakening my sparrow heart

I know, I'll go

^ though obviously the tadpole is not ideal and she still wants it removed throughout the story, turns out making friends is much easier when they can see how she actually feels behind her "resting bitch face". The friends she made over the journey do awaken a kind of joy in her and help her be more confident.

How others view them

The Poet - The Arcadian Wild

She said, "Make sure you're lookin' where you step

You've a tendency not to notice

There's an arrowhead underneath each of our noses

If we get out of our own heads and look around"

^ most of her companions were impressed with her curiosity and observation, and Gale especially by the well of knowledge she had about what, to him, seemed like mundane objects around them.

We just might see the trees like she did

Her father's heart and might in the forest

And they spoke to her like a daughter

So she planted more

^ another reference to her late dad, and the interaction of her air genasi and wood elf heritage.

Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic)

De Selby Part 2 - Hozier

for this one I went with her partner, Gale, and the kinda desperate quality their relationship has due to the threat of the orb.

I wanna run against the world that's turnin'

I'd movе so fast that I'd outpace the dawn

I wanna be gonе

I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin'

Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun

If you want it done

^ gale and zephyr, for most of acts 2 and 3, feel like they are racing against the clock before his inevitable sacrifice (even if zephyr says different out loud), and so they have to make every second count, either trying to find an alternate solution or enjoying each other while they can :')

Let all time slow, let all light go

^ more of that

I only need the workin' of my hands

^ a reference to Gale's hands, which I feel like are a theme in his romance

A major fight scene

Bones - Imagine Dragons

okay so the lyrics of this one don't really match up lol BUT I watched an Arcane amv a while ago that timed Vi's punches with "got this feeling" part and not only did it change my brain chemistry but it's also how imagine Zephyr fighting when she doesn't have her staff <3

There is this part in the chorus though -

I got this feeling in my soul

Go ahead and throw your stones

'Cause there's magic in my bones

^ which again relates to the bullying she went through bc of her powers (even though it's not really 'magic' like the weave)

End credits song

Cover Me In Sunshine - P!nk

From a distance all these mountains

Are just some tiny hills

Wildflowers, they keep living

While they're just standing still

I've been missing yesterday

But what if there's a better place?

^ This part shows her perspective on the events of the game as a Thoughts of the Forest monk, and how even if things don't (or can't) return to how they were before the tadpole, she has faith in the natural order of the world to make a better future.

Cover me in sunshine

Shower me with good times

^ how I envision her life with Gale in Waterdeep <3

Unreal Unearth lyrics making me go feral (affectionate)

The heart is too big. The brain too wired. Here are some faves.

When he wrote:

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd movе so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gonе I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

and when he speaks:

What you're given, what you live in Darling, it finds a way to live in you.

And then when he said:

Wish I'd known it was just our turn (We just got by) Being blamed for a world we had no power in (But we tried) You and I had nothin' to show (We didn't know) But the best of the world in the palm of our hands (Anythin', darlin') And darlin', I haven't felt it since then I don't know how the feelin' ended But I know bein' reckless and young Is not how the damage gets done

And when he sang:

So far from home to have a stranger call you, "Darling" And have your guarded heart be lifted like a child up by the hand In some town that just means 'Home' to them With no translator left to sound A butchered tongue still singin' here above the ground

and when he spoke:

I'm still glad I met you the memory hurts but does me no harm"

and when he told us:

When that part of you was ripped away A grip taking hold like a cancer that grows Each piece of your body that it takes Though I know my heart would break I'd tell them, "Put me back in it" Da-darling, I would do it again If I could hold you for a minute Da-darling, I'd go through it again

and when he murmurs:

Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I

and when he sings:

I don't wanna be anything But I would do anything just to run away

and when he admits:

Darling, there's a part of me I'm afraid will always be Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life.

and when he cries:

I can scarce believe what I'm believing in could this be how every day begins? the sky set to burst the gold and the rust the colour erupts you filling my cup the sun coming up like I lived my whole life before the first light

and when he says:

and though I burn, how could I fall when I am lifted by every word you say to me?

and when he recalls:

the last time I felt your weight on my chest, you said "we didn't get it right but, love, we did our best" and we will again

and when he beseeches:

and all things end all that we intend is scrawled in sand or slips right through our hands and just knowin' that everything will end should not change our plans when we begin again

and when he comments:

Get some pull up the ladder when the flood comes throw enough rope until the legs have swung seven new ways that you can eat your young come and get some skinnin' the children for a war drum puttin' food on the table, sellin' bombs and guns it's quicker and easier to eat your young

Ohhhh I love this for Sleuth Jesters! It has such a vibe that fits for the whole story, everyone running and doing what they can for the one they love. Delicious music ♥

[socially-awkward-skeleton]

De Selby part 2 has such good Judge!Staci and Kit vibes

I listened to it a few more time and yes, yes it does.

Honestly, its the perfect Staci from the moment he realizes Kit wants to be at Saint Francis and he still opts to push her from the balcony right up to him being in New Dawn as the Judge song, aka Staci being pussy whipped without actually getting any lol

Thank you for this!!

What you're given, what you live in Darlin', it finds a way to live in you And your heart, love, has such darkness I feel it in the corners of the room (If I was any closer) After the gloom (I could only lose me) I wanna lose me (If I fade away, let me fade away) I, I wanna fade away with you (If I was any closer) If I was any closer (I could only lose me) I could be lost (If I fade away, let me fade away) No more than I was or than I Want to be when you fall on me like night, every time And I want to be so far from sight and mind I wanna kill the lights I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd movе so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gonе I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

[starburstsobsessions]

tw eyestrain colors no gif/minor body horror

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gone I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

[imperiuswrecked]

De Selby (Part 2) by Hozier feels like a pietro song but I just can't figure out why

Hozier is one of my favorite singers, and I agree that this song def vibes with Pietro, especially his need to be loved but also his insecurities. The chorus is really good for the speedster vibes:

I wanna run against the world that's turnin'

I'd movе so fast that I'd outpace the dawn

I wanna be gonе

I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin'

Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun

If you want it done

Especially the final "I'd block the sun if you want it done" because Pietro has proved he'll do literally anything in his power to make sure his loved ones are safe.

[tragedykery]

I WANNA RUN AGAINST THE WORLD THAT'S TURNIN' I'D MOVE SO FAST I'D OUTPACE THE DAWN I WANNA BE GONE

I WANNA RUN SO FAR ID BEAT THE MORNIN BEFORE THE DAWN HAS COME ID BLOCK THE SUN IF YOU WANT IT DONE
