Misplaced Arrows

"In Love with the Mark" Playlist for Obiyuki Trope Madness 2023 by @snowwhite-andtheknight

Initially tried to make an all Motion City playlist with early assassin Obi vibes and then included a few other songs to fill in the blanks. The songs transition from the usual Obi self-doubt as he falls for her to realizing he can’t follow through with his assigned task by the two songs from “Even If It Kills Me.”

Misplaced Arrows

Broken Arrow- Motion City Soundtrack Gravity- Motion City Soundtrack We Dreamt in Heist- Anberlin I Can Feel You- Motion City Soundtrack The Samurai Code- Motion City Soundtrack Can’t Finish What You Started- Motion City Soundtrack Even If It Kills Me- Motion City Soundtrack You Kill Me- Paper Route

Summary lyrics are cited below the cut:

Broken Arrow- Motion City Soundtrack

How many times do you lose what you find? Does your shadow keep bringing you down?

Everywhere you go I follow You treat me like a broken arrow

Torn from the page like a knife cuts the rain Every instinct screams "where are you now?"

There's a love for valediction When you're stranded on the shore

Our lives are intertwined You learn to live, you learn to die

Gravity- Motion City Soundtrack

I didn't want to be the anchor in your heart I only wanted you to notice me

Sometimes it carries you out Sometimes it buries you under It's not the weight of the world It's just the way that I am

We Dreamt in Heist- Anberlin

We'll stay here until someone falls in their own snare I had this planned all along, and I brought you here for this So tie your mask on and pretend that nothing's wrong

And I'll try to stay awake as long as I can And I'll try to stay here, here with you

This is a black market reformation How does it feel to be under the gun? Last ones to laugh pull the trigger here on the run You can hide the money, I'll mark an X I'm above the law and you're the order You make everything make sense

I Can Feel You- Motion City Soundtrack

All this time I've wasted Waiting for the world to end

Dizzy indecision Veering off the open road Anchors away Lack of infrastructure

There's nowhere to hide Oh, where do I go? Get back in the cage Just keep me away I'm staggering

Easy to resemble Hard to learn the workings of This lonesome charade I'm filled with hesitation Staring down the tide

It pulls you apart It stabs in the dark It carries away

I never know who I am I only know what I'm not It doesn't make any sense It doesn't further the plot

I never learned how to love I only learned how to fight I only see in the dark But never get through the night

I've got a flurry of words But I've got nothing to say I try hard to let go but the pull is too great Consumed with the promise

The Samurai Code- Motion City Soundtrack

I had a dream now it's gone So I'm going it alone today Trapped all the driftwood thoughts I'd rather just ignore

I had a plan but it turned Now I'm bleeding it the other way Can't quit, lost cause, non-stop Anywhere but here

I tried to run from the thought, it unraveled me And here I stayed

Finding the time to embrace each moment Shouldn't be hard, it's the hardest thing

I'd like to anchor some day I'd like to anchor and stay

Can’t Finish What You Started- Motion City Soundtrack

Why can't you finish what you've started? Why can't you try and understand? It doesn't make a bit of difference if you start what you can't finish Every story needs an ending, after all

I think I've known it for a long time Suffice to say, it's been a while You're too afraid to face the outcome Quite likely, you're a failure

I thought of all the things I'd like to say Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day I'm just waiting for my world to fall apart That's why I'll never finish anything I start

Adaptation and retribution If you truly do believe in something Somehow it all works out

Even If It Kills Me- Motion City Soundtrack

I'm not saying that I'm giving up I'm just trying not to think As much as I used to Cause never is a lonely little messed up word Maybe I'll get it right some day

For the first time in a long time I can say that I want to try I feel helpless for the most part But I'm learning to open my eyes And the sad truth of the matter is I'll never get over it but I'm gonna try To get better and overcome Each moment in my own way

I sure want to get back on track And I'll do whatever it takes Even if it kills me

You Kill Me- Paper Route

Hold your head up, dear I’m the one who's wounded here But I love you still the same

There’s patterns on the floor When I can't look at you anymore That's when you look at me

You pull me down, underneath In my head, I can't breathe I can't sleep, I can't dream And I can't stop loving you kill me
