Home (Official Lyric Video)

Won't you tie me to the bow of your sweet vessel

Cause all alone I'd surely drown

And I can barely tread above this darkness

Let me land on solid ground

Cause I've been dreaming of horizons

I've been longing for a home

Darling help me let the light in

Like the one I used to know

If you're the lantern shining in the midnight

I'm the wind that's at your door

And if the darkness swells up high between us

I will steer us back to shore

Cause I've been dreaming of horizons

I've been longing for a home

Darling help me let the light in

Like the one I used to know

And if we die girl, then we'll die together

Another ship lost to the storm

An iron anchor no one will remember 

Hand in hand forever more.

～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～

Confession: my brain works like a jukebox (are there enough people on this site who are old enough to know what those are?): Give me a word or visual cue, and a song starts playing in my head.

This post triggered this song (eye contact, auto-generated captions):

(Lyrics below the cut, and also this link [Fandom Wiki: The Longest Song Wiki])

Fresh out of college, with grades straight from Hell, I browsed for a trade at which I could excel. An ad for a ship in need of some manning, Men, sails, and purpose, but lacking a captain.

What luck, says I, to find such good fortune! A few white lies later, I ran down the pier. Bought me a coat and a cutlass or two, Jumped on the deck, and I yelled at the crew:

{Chorus} Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! Turn hard to port! (That's not port?) Now I've got it! Trust me, I'm in control!

I can’t sing the shanties, it has to be said, And all of that grog just goes right to my head. Whale meat is gross and I miss a girl’s laugh. Five weeks at sea, even Dave seems a catch!

{Chorus}

We’ve hit icy waters, no land to be seen. The food’s getting low and the beer has gone green. There’s murmurs of discontent under the deck. If I don’t act fast, it could be my neck!

So pull up the charts and those weird gold machines I see what it says but no clue what it means! Just pull on some levers and yank on some chains, Feign a bad back 'til we’ve landed again.

{Chorus x3}

(Final Chorus) Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! (Huh?) What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! (BLOODY HELL!) Turn hard to port! (This is SHERRY!) Now I've got it! (Screaming) Trust me, I'm in control! (MOMMY)

Trust me, I'm in control!

So carry me from these walls, brother of mine, Show me the world outside. It has to be true, I'm counting on you To be my wings and my eyes.

Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #4, Fish Inside a Birdcage (2022)

Image ID:

First image - A messy, sketchy quality drawing of Ol' Jericho Sticks from Legends of Avantris: Edge of Midnight. Well, technically this is Virgil in Jericho's body. He stands at the far left side of the canvas, with his back to the camera and his head turned over his shoulder to stare a beady four-pointed eye at the audience. Their arms hang loosely at their sides. Four massive black wings sprout from Jericho/Virgil's shoulderblades and from below his "ribcage," the two farther from the camera extending over the rest of the canvas. The two in proximity to the camera curve over Jericho/Virgil's body, obscuring parts of them, and framing emphasis around their eye. Seven orange eyes with four-pointed star pupils, drawn even more messily than the figure, float in space and stare out at the audience from between the feathers of the extended wings. Scribbles in jagged strokes frame the piece and reach towards the figure. The whole piece is in a duotone greyish/orange color scheme. Words, the lyrics to Fish in a Birdcage's Rule #4 - Fish Inside a Birdcage, are written messily, following the contours of the eyes and the wings. The words write: "YOU GAVE ME MORE THAN I COULD ASK FOR... INDISTINGUISHABILITY"

Second Image - A zoomed in version of the first image, to give a more detailed view of Jericho/Virgil's face and body. Only the figure, the two closest wings, and a quarter of the other two wings are shown. No words are in view, but two of the eyes are visible.

[ID in alt text]

Sometimes I fall to pieces

Just to see what bits of me don’t fit

‘Cause when I stand, oh all those folks will run

And tell the tales of what I’ve become

They’ll speak of me in whispered tones

And say my name like it shakes their bones

See now everything you’ve said on your reblog of goth Terry will be stuck in my head for hours lmao

I can so clearly picture Nicholas coming out for a moment the *second* Nick sees Grant and Lark ruined their suits before prom. He’d be SO mad, just aggressively prestidigitationing their asses

LOL dude that's equivalent exchange for somehow worsening my kiddads brainrot- the way you characterize them drives me wild actually like. You fucking get it!!! And thank you I'm always flattered to get told that I've received a good grade in tumblr tags, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

AND STOP THAT'S REALLY CUTE aw dude of course he's still goody-goody little Nicolas underneath- I'm imagining that like he tries to keep a lid on it and calmly ask them what happened but with each detail they add (because whatever it was, it definitely wasn't reasonable) he gets closer and closer to blowing his fuse lmaoo

RATHER BE IN HELL THAN ALONE

@usergif 1 year celebration: shuffle challenge day 3: blending | typography | blorbo

[Image Description: A gifset of Hope Mikaelson from Legacies paralled with lyrics from SZAs “Kill Bill.”

Gif 1: Hope and Landon press their foreheads together. This is blended with a gif where Hope uses her tribrid blood to kill him, and therefore kill Malivore. The lyrics read, “I just killed my ex.”

Gif 2: No-humanity Hope licks blood from her fingers. The lyrics read, “Not the best idea.”

Gif 3: Hope and Lizzie hold hands. This is blended with a gif where Lizzie lays dead on the floor with a broken neck. The lyrics read, “Killed my girlfriend next.” The original lyrics say “Killed his girlfriend next,” but “his” is marked out to insert “my.”

Gif 4: Hope wakes up on the ground right after turning her humanity back on. The lyrics read, “How’d I get here?” End ID.]

This is still a favorite.

I love a cappella songs specifically written for a cappella performance.

Apparently, I haven’t posted this before.  Or else, it’s just that Tumblr’s search function is as spotty as usual.  In any case: yes. I’m still posting favorite holiday songs. This is a song for Hanukkah.

sisterforsaken: 💿 (from severen’s playlist please 👀)

Empire of Fuzz- KINGS OF HONG KONG

She had shown him her idea of fun, fancy parties, subterfuge, weaving through the crowd, toying with the prey, making it love her, making it sacrifice itself willingly.

He had decided to show her his idea of fun. 

An old dive bar, a jukebox in the corner that didn’t know anything newer than vinyl from the 1980’s. The clientele was just as deadly as they were, but only in the capacity that humans could have. They were much more than human.

It began with catcalls and picked fights, a jostle here, a snide remark there. Heating up the blood. When it boiled over, it was spilt.  And as Severen ran the knife along his tongue, some began to panic about being next.  That was when Mary showed her own cards. Crimson blooms blocked the exits, bursting upon those that fled toward them.  Some mistook her femininity for mercy. They were the first felled. She feeds just as greedily as he, his maw already gorey. Not a single patron knew what hit them, not a one would survive to tell the tale.  When all was death, but the devil’s who relished in it, they shared mirthful delight in their bout of excess.   To admit how much fun she had would give Severen too much credit; perish the thought of bolstering his pride. She demurs any insistences that she enjoyed this night over others. His ego is hardly quashed despite his sneer, leave her to her high falutin leanings. Eventually they leave. In their wake lies a burning charnel house. A hell to itself. Its maker’s returned to the night.

△ do you think Orin actually cares about you?

it's invasive questions o'clock! ask and audrey will rate their discomfort and answer them

"...Seven outta ten. It's—" She purses her lips, the fingers of one hand worrying at the back of the other. The way the question is asked hurts — as if it's obvious he doesn't, as if it's obvious Audrey isn't worth caring about. It sparks a reflexive need to defend her relationship. "It's complicated. He likes me, sure. Why else would he make me his girl? And I matter to him, 'cause I know he'd be mad if I left him. But does he care about me? ... I think he cares about me like somebody cares about a thing, not another person. He cares if I'm there, not if I'm happy." Her voice grows quieter and quieter as the murmurs a small refrain of comfort, something she's told herself over and over again to make Orin's behavior hurt less. "I think that's the only way he knows how to care. It's how he is. And if that's all he has, and it's what he gives me, then he loves me as much as he can. Some people just love wrong..."

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!
