Bloody Storm English Translation
I’m seeing a lot of people being surprised that Vein hates lies, but I’ve been saying that this whole time! Now, I wonder if y’all really thought I was delusional for shipping VeiFei before they debuted. But like, seriously, Bloody Storm and Rent a Shell/Body for Rent are songs that contrast each other, and that was what made me even more interested in VeiFei.
Anyways, here’s the full English translation of Vein’s character song. The lyrics on the wiki are terrible, so I extracted the captions from this video instead.
Verse 1: Whoever I aim at, the bullet pierces their heart My victories are engraved on the arches of Chinatown Hero or outlaw, people come and go in the Jianghu* In the end, they are just defeated under my hand In the world of photos, you show fearlessness Trapped in a web, the more you struggle, the more despair tightens Don’t lie to me, I see through your delusions If I want to win, I win with open dignity Your death knell has sounded, don’t resist in vain I stare from the abyss, watching how you try to calm the chaos
Chorus: If I don’t claim the throne, who dares to act more arrogant than I? Bow your head, surrender, and hand your kindness over to desire Absolute victory, this duel is already decided I want this world to surge and churn with a bloody storm Verse 2: I control your every move at any moment Light and darkness are merely different stances Truth and lies intertwine; the game board is riddled with flaws The past is like a dream, fleeting as a yellow beam of millet In the world of photos, you show fearlessness Trapped in a web, the more you struggle, the more despair tightens Don’t lie to me, I see through your delusions If I want to win, I win with open dignity Your death knell has sounded, don’t resist in vain I stare from the abyss, watching how you try to calm the chaos Chorus: If I don’t claim the throne, who dares to act more arrogant than I? Bow your head, surrender, and hand your kindness over to desire Absolute victory, this duel is already decided I want this world to surge and churn with a bloody storm If I don’t claim the throne, who dares to act more wild than I? Like a blade unsheathed, shedding its disguise and revealing its edge Adore my facade yet dread my madness Slander or praise, it’s futile to think of shaking my scepter
*Jianghu (江湖) = literally means rivers and lakes, but here it’s referring to the martial arts society.
Red lines = Vein hating lies
Blue lines = the liars (i.e. Lu Guang)
However, the part about the web and the game board also connects Vein to Liu Xiao, so take that as you will.
I mentioned this briefly in the tags of a reblog, but in their songs, Vein is equally connected to Xia Fei and Liu Xiao, while those two have no intersection at all lol (now we know why)
But yeah, as my mutual @rainibao has pointed out, Vein rules by fear not by manipulation. The latter is Liu Xiao’s thing, not his.

New PV for Link Click: Yingdu Chapter
A new "PV" for the Yingdu Chapter has just been released, and this beautifully animated music video we've been given highlights our main villain of this arc, Vein (voiced by Liu Zhaokun)!
Lyrics to the song: ☆
"Bloody Storm: Madness hidden under the sharp appearance, making people panic and fascinated. If I don’t claim to be king, who dares to be more arrogant than me?"

CRYBABY! - (E.W) PT3

pairing: mean/cruel ellie x sensitive/emotional reader.
synopsis: she’s the same ellie she’s always been.
a/n: am i building up tension so they can be genuine enemies to lovers? maybe…
why’d you have to make a record ‘bout me?
masterlist.
“what the actual fuck ellie?” you storm into the dressing room, startling jesse and dina, who’d been sitting on the couch. jesse jolts up to walk over to you but you jerk your body away and rush at the laughing girl. “you wrote a fucking song about me?”
“why are you so pissed?” she rolls her eyes. you take a deep breath before turning around to face jesse and dina. “can you guys tell her why i’m pissed? if i do she’ll be leaving with a disfigured face.”
“i’d love to see you try to fuck me up.” ellie chimes in. you’re about to turn and yell at her when jesse grabs your arms and leads you outside. dina shakes her head, walking towards ellie, looking displeased. the last thing you hear before jesse closes the door is ellie’s crude laughter.
“did you know she was gonna do that?” you furrow your brows. he shakes his head rapidly while pulling you in for a hug. “no, i’m so sorry. if i did i would’ve never let her onstage.”
you’re sobbing now. tears of embarrassment pooling from your eyes and onto his shirt. memories of the moment flash before your eyes. her ridiculous and crude lyricism. the smirk on her face as yours fell. her making it painfully obvious that she was singing to you. about you. and not in a good way.
jesse pats your back while shushing you, repeated apologies falling from his lips. he catches their manager walking by and calls out to him. “hold on i’ll be right back. i’m gonna talk to jace about this.”
you nod, slumping down on the floor as he walks away. it takes you several deep breaths to not burst through the door and bash her head in. then you hear her talking nonchalantly on the other side. “dina it’s not that big of a deal. seriously. she’s such a fucking crybaby.”
you’re reminded of the night you’d cried into ellie’s lap. the next day you showed up apologizing profusely with a new pair of pants for her. her telling you that it’s fine. inviting you in. offering you a snack. a bottle of water. asking if you wanted to watch videos with her about space.
how could such a sweet person be such a fucking asshole and barely show any remorse? how were you meant to just get over everything she’d done? how could you let that person kiss you? see you in your most vulnerable state? call you a crybaby?
before you know it, you’ve stormed back into the room. ignoring dina’s calm and soothing voice, to punch ellie in the face. you’re hyped on adrenaline until the pain settles in. your knuckles burning and her nose bloody. what had you done?
“i’m gonna fucking kill you. so you better choose your last words carefully.” blood was spilling into her mouth. the overflow of iron settling thick in her throat. dina steps between the two of you holding her hands up. “ellie, why do you always do this shit? your nose should be permanently broken from all the fights you get into. just let it go.”
“not too good to fight with me now, huh?” ellie talks over dina’s back. her words are muffled by her hand over her face. you hit her hard as fuck, and a secret part of you hoped it knocked some sense into her. the rest of you felt an overbearing sense of guilt. lashing out was her thing. fighting was her thing. blood was her thing. you had been trying so hard not to get caught up in all that. you even had hope that she was really changing for the better.
it seems you were wrong.
“i’m so-“
jesse bursts into the door, anger all over his face. he whispers something under his breath before looking up and taking in the scene. “fucking hell, what happened?”
you lower your face in embarrassment. “i don’t know what came over me. i’m so sorry ellie-“
jesse throws up his hands. “you know what, let’s not worry about this right now. we have to perform in five minutes.”
dina scrambles to grab her leather jacket off the couch and follows a frantic jesse out of the dressing room. you shake your head as you hear ellie burst into laughter. she’s hysterical, damn near falling out of her chair.
“jesus williams, what’s so fucking funny?”
“nothing—“ she chokes back more laughter attempting to speak. “it’s just— you know how to throw a fucking punch.”

What do you think about the translation of The Iliad by Robert Fitzgerald? :0
I respect Fitzgerald. His Odyssey is widely praised, and I can see why! He has a poetic, lyrical style that suits Odysseus’ meandering, dreamy narrative.
But The Iliad is not The Odyssey. The Iliad is war. It’s blood and iron and bronze gleaming in the sun. It’s a funeral pyre smoldering for days. It’s Achilles’ grief exploding like a storm across the battlefield. And Fitzgerald? He doesn’t quite capture that. Fitzgerald often strips the text of its sheer, unrelenting force.
His Achilles, for example, is less like an unchained lion and more like a dramatic Shakespearean prince. His Hector is noble, sure, but the existential dread of his final stand against Achilles? Muted. Homer’s relentless, galloping pace slows under Fitzgerald’s refined phrasing.
For example, take the famous moment in Book 22 when Achilles finally kills Hector. Homer’s Greek is rapid-fire, vicious:
ὣς φάτο καὶ κατὰ μούνουρον ὄρουσεν Ἀχιλλεύς. (Thus he spoke, and like a lion Achilles leapt upon him.)
Fitzgerald? He translates it as:
"He spoke, and a single leap launched him forward."
What? Where is the lion? Where is the rage? That’s one of the rawest moments in the whole epic, and Fitzgerald makes Achilles sound like an Olympic long-jumper instead of an unstoppable killing machine.
Another issue, Fitzgerald doesn’t try to preserve the hexameter. Now, to be fair, hardly any translator does. English just doesn’t roll with dactylic hexameter the way Greek does. But the problem is that Fitzgerald’s rhythm feels less like an urgent battle cry and more like a slow, deliberate chant. Lattimore, for example, keeps more of that rolling, propulsive energy. Fitzgerald? He tames it. The Iliad shouldn’t be tamed, in my opinion.
And let’s talk about tone. Homer can be crude. His warriors insult each other like brawling soldiers, not poets at a fancy symposium. But Fitzgerald? He tidies it up. He makes Homer sound more “refined”, but in doing so, he loses a crucial layer of authenticity.
So, Is Fitzgerald’s Iliad Bad?
Not bad, per se. But it’s not what I would recommend if you want the true Iliad experience. Fitzgerald is a poet first, and his Iliad is undeniably poetic, but it’s not the rough, bloody, fire-and-bronze poetry of Homer. It’s the poetry of a refined, intellectual era that wants The Iliad to be more like The Aeneid. It’s a little too polished, a little too clean.
If you want a more faithful rendering, go for Lattimore. If you want something poetic but with more energy, try Fagles. But if you want an Odyssey-style stately epic, Fitzgerald is your guy. Just don’t expect the battlefield to feel quite as real.

I'm a recent-ish follower, so I'm a little curious about your background, were you at one point a swiftie, but got disenchanted with her and that's why you have this deep well of knowledge of and about her, or was she always like a parasocial enemy of yours. I was always a hater, I love when ppl slander her, bc she's generally regarded so highly. I'm sorry her lyrics aren't good or groundbreaking, they are catchy at best and annoying at worst. She's also taking herself way to serious as an artist (name of her new album, cringe interview for the times). Also no matter what (or who; Matt Healy) she is doing, we aren't allowed to criticize her or her actions, when we call her our for her private jet use, we get accused of double standards and how corporations are polluting way more, as if that is in any way or form a justification for her being a fucking pest
Ok, story time then. 🤗 First of all, I'm old af, I'm pushing 30s. (Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo) 😅 So I've heard of ts ages ago but didn't care cause I didn't like her music. Never been a swi*ftie. 🤓
Then the whole Jake Gyllenhaal circus happened to the point that even Jake Gyllenhaal's sister was asked about that stupid scarf. That was the first time I properly noticed ts and I thought: what a despicable and petty girl she is. 🤮 But at least Jake Gyllenhaal had a decade long career so he was fine, and I didn't really think about her much after that.
Fast forward to 2016 when I went to see Ang Lee's new film because it's bloody Ang Lee, you know? And I'm glad I did cause it's one of my favorite films ever. And that is how I "met" Joe and completely fell in love with him. 🥰 And there were photos of him online being silly and goofy and adorable (and drunk 😹). And he was so nervous and sweet in interviews. It was just so easy to love him. 🥰🥰🥰
Can you even imagine how sad and disappointed and sorry I was for him when I found out he was dating ts? Cause I already knew what she will do to him. 😭 Like, I knew she will try to destroy Joe sooner or later and I knew that Joe won't have the decade long career Jake Gyllenhaal has to fall back on, when she tries to ruin his life. Call me Nostradamus. 😭
And for the record, Joe is still one of my favorites ever. He is a brilliant actor and a kind man. So I guess my issues with ts are kinda "personal" and kinda parasocial... 😅 In a way, I've been waiting for this sh*t storm to hit for years...
I should probably pin this for others to read when they check my account..

(Welcome to the division)
Battle of Pride
H.Y.P.N.O.S.I.S. Mic!
Battle of Pride
[Aranai:]
(Battle of Pride!)
Pedal to the metal, my throttle's full of sin
The HBIC is on the mic, born to ride and born to win!
Adrenaline junkie, my rhymes hit like an f'ing spike
Revvin' up the crowd, this is the kind of life that I like!
[Shisuta:]
In prayerful whispers, my rhymes rise to the skies
A servant of the Word, in truth, without disguise
Through trials and tribulations, His strength I rehearse
A humble messenger, with the gospel in verse
[Kisouna:]
In the court or on the streets, my verdict resounds
With scales of justice, I'm Ueno's guardian hound
No crime goes unpunished, on my watch, no fallacy
"Guilty!" I proclaim, for all who challenge me!
[Sakurai Clan:]
Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce
Sakurai Clan shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Ryuko:]
From the underworld's shadow to the animator's light
I sketch out my fury, frame by frame, fight by fight
Ink flows like blood, my past a dark art, each stroke a battle scar
On this canvas of beats, I tear fuckin' mics apart!
[Maki:]
In the lecture hall of life, I'm the professor of truth
Dispensing worldwide knowledge, enlightening the youth
Each stanza crafted with care, a hidden rebel's call
Challenging the regime, without fear I stand tall
[Shuu:]
From the darkest secrets to the sweetest truth
Men-H's eyes see all, uncovering the proof
In this game of lies, I'll always find the way
For the broken hearts, I promise, I will make the guilty pay
[Sazanka Zombeez:]
Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce
Sazanka Zombeez shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!
[Nadya:]
In the quiet before dawn, Oculus' vision forms
Vipera's strike awaits, as the silent storm transforms
[Meari:]
Screaming into the void, my lyrics carve a fucking path
Bloody Mary's reflection, a testament to my wrath!
[Aika:]
Ohh, I feel the pleasure building, it's so much I just can't take it!
One more push and I'll be free, primed and ready to release~
[Oculus:]
Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce
Oculus shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!
[Chorus:]
(Battle of Pride!)
Let's start this showtime
Sparks flying in this fight
Do not cross, out of control
We're locking it down
Bounce, bounce, make it bounce
Make it bounce, bounce
Scorching the floor with one verse
(Battle of Pride)
Proving we’re alive
No way we're afraid
Writing our own legend
We’re snagging our glory here
Bounce bounce make it bounce
Make it bounce bounce
Bet your everything and survive
The rule is just to
Bounce bounce bounce
It's kill or be killed so
Bounce bounce bounce

[Sayaka:]
With wings of hope, I cradle my dearest kin
Rhopalocera's grace; this is where my love begins
For Saitama's soul and my daughters' bright gleams
I will stand as a beacon even in the darkest dreams
[Lola:]
Aphrodite's charm, the world's envy and desire
In Femme Fatale's glow, I set all hearts on fire
Crowned in beauty's grace, I'm Japan's finest queen
My allure transcends in every possible scene
[Kureha:]
In the twilight's embrace, Eclipse paints the night
With strokes of darkness where stars lose their light
A silent void whispers in the moon's gentle sway
Art's somber echo as the world fades away
[Femme Fatale:]
Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce
Femme Fatale shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!
[Ryūzō:]
In the realm of shadows where feelings reside
A killer's heart beats strong, though in darkness we hide
A shadow's essence, more than what it seems
Life's not about finding, but creating our dreams
[Takumi:]
With GUTS and fire, we can all embrace the day!
Youth's power ignites in every single way
Never give up, always strive to be the best
Because today's efforts will help build tomorrow's success!
[Kotono:]
In the chaos of life, this educator finds her way
With a drink in one hand, and a bet to play
From a laboratory to a classroom, her path is so wide
Do not take life too seriously, just enjoy the ride! (Come on!)
[Kiya Kara:]
Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce
Kiya Kara shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Yuuya:]
In Nara's embrace, where summer dreams ignite
Cherish every moment before they all fade from your sight!
[Asahi:]
In spring's serene beauty, my art of wagashi unfolds
Chase your dreams, like tales of old, where real courage molds
[Saigo:]
In winter's chill, where truth's cold light prevails

The rule is just to
Bounce bounce bounce

[Anika:]
In the realm of minds, I help to guide the way
Words of wisdom and misdirection, breaking habits' sway
From racing tracks to healing hearts anew
Transforming lives, young and old, where fresh journeys ensue
[Shian:]
The thrill of the chase, it's adrenaline's rush
Breaking through barriers, in the hunt is where I crush
Running free, no chains in the world can bind my stride
In the pursuit, my purpose I find (Ready or Not!)
[Makina:]
You're in my world now where pixels come alive
Controller in hand, this is the place that I thrive

With the great Tomoe Gozen's spirit, I strive to uphold
Living and dying, so their legacy remains bold
[Fleuret:]
In a world of greed and deceit, I stand with pride
Honor's my shield, with knights and majesty standing by my side
Heritage and art, woven in every rhyme I create
Upholding my legacy, through the sands of time, I navigate
[Eldrid:]
In the face of fear and doubt, courage must rise high
Valkyrie's spirit soaring beneath the endless sky
Managing fear with bravery's unwavering might
Fighting forward through the brightest day and the blackest night!
[Blade Maiden:]

i have once again written a song [lyrics under the cut]
[ONE]
There's a difference 'tween what we are and fundaments of our cells Damned resistance Joy is found in what we make of our hell
Some insistence An empty cage, repeating verses Stained existence Our nature of broken, hollow curse
There's blood in my eyes The searchlights start to look like angels We never will die Like frogs or effigies we boil
To fall by your side Knowing gladly you'll return the favor Who needs holy light When we can savor this salt taste forever
Lightning shapes our sight Our ballad is my vicious laughter Look at the sky A song we'll savor ever after
Look at the sky! Wouldn't you agree my rage is Look at the sky! A gilded war-cry for the ages
Look at the sky! This moment cast immortal as we Tear through the night Take no prisoners, show no mercy
Look at the sky! Eternal, immortal, forever alive! Look at the sky! Higher than the gods we defy!
LOOK AT THE SKY!
[TWO]
There is something in my bones Beneath my heart, it's made a home The only home I choose to know Is in not reaping what I sow, and
There is something in my skin I feel it writhing deep within I'll claw it out, initial sin We know not where these hands have been, and
There is something in my blood A premonition to the flood I am an angel, I'm a god Dragging our names all through the mud, and
There's something stuck in my hair I am empty and I am scared I am alone, there's nothing there This will not hurt, I swear I swear, I
Lie, I'm lying all the time I have committed to the crime Without a reason or a rhyme Beg for a miracle when thy
Apocalyptic storm is nigh I dare not look thee in the eye An empty street, we look behind, It's over now, goodnight, goodbye!
[THREE]
Turn my head to the view 'cause there's no sign of blue Like the blood that I drew When I fall, will I too Stain the cinders that hue Nothing new, nothing new Nothing new, not for you Not for you, falling through
There's nothing here to see Bloodied hands, 3 for 3 Not what you want to be Not what I want for me I am not, I am not I am not, I am not I am not, let me rot Let me rot, take my shot
Holding a smoking gun To what I have become Scorching gaze, crimson sun In the end, left with none We are one, we are one We are one, we are one We are one, this is done This is done, this is done!
And the smoke stings my eyes Though my tears have run dry And I care not to try As I fear not to die Not to die, not to die Not to die, now to die Now to die, out of time Out of time, out of-!
#spire song#writing#my writing#original song#audio#not described#'atlas what does this mean' in the immortal words of chonny jash. Yeah i dont know either mate

I am a sucker for everyone being a foil of everyone so I love the contrast of “fire thief” with the twins (wanting what you can't have) and "fire" as lies with xia fei (my two-faced little model with a mask).
adding to this: the way cheng xiaoshi's gold eyes in YE1 are depicted as fire and when his ability transferred to lu guang it fills up like water.
thinking of fire as representative of power and agency. the limitation of agency and desire to exercise agency as a running theme across our yellow-blue jacket wearers (cxs, twins, xia fei) every season.
water as an oppressive force for both xia fei (drowning in the pool in YE3) and lu guang (diving in his nightmare in YE2) and how they both see vein at the end of it. but where xia fei finds rescue, lu guang is met with The Horrors™
I miss the groundedness of seasons by studio lan, but the yingdu visual metaphors are very interesting this season. it's a more dream-like, abstract season. yingdu is the specific season for "the curtains are blue" posts
Time is Water. Water also represents Trials in life. Water is Blue.
Xia Fei is oppressed by Water (nearly died in one). Xia Fei Destroys it with Fire:
But I got the flame that can put out all the streams ... Let the wildfire drown the truth’s cry
Since Xia Fei is also a liar, then Fire = Lies.
Vein is Blood, or rather, the color Red:
I want this world to surge and churn with a bloody storm*.
The “bloody” here is written as 血色, which literally means “color of blood.” But 血色 can also mean “ruddiness” or the healthy red color on one’s cheeks. In other words, the color of Life.
The storm is written as 风浪, which literally means “wind and waves.” So, it’s more like blood-red wind and waves. Or, to put it simply, just Red Water. (Water stained with the color of blood/life)
Vein is Blood = Red Water = Life. And since Vein hates lies (evident throughout the lyrics of Bloody Storm), then Blood/Red Water is also Truth.
---
Conclusion
Xia Fei = Fire, Destruction, and Lies
Vein = (Red) Water, Life, and Truth
Completely different people who should’ve never crossed paths, and yet...
Vein pulled Xia Fei out of the Water.
Vein, as Life, took Fire out of the abyss.
It’s easy to interpret this as another Prometheus reference, like what Liu Xiao has going on with the Li Twins. But I think it’s different with VeiFei.
The Prometheus song title in Chinese is 盗火者, which literally means Fire Thief. This is not how the god’s name is typically written in Chinese. It should be written as 普罗米修斯 (basically a transliteration of the Greek name). So, there’s an emphasis of being a “thief” in LX + Li Twins’ song, which I don’t think applies to Vein.
Vein didn’t “steal” the fire from another. Instead, he grabbed it openly as if it were always his.
So, it’s more like… He took the sopping wet Xia Fei, reignited him, and allowed him to burn.
Vein is Life. The hearth that houses the flame. The home.

1. 谁被我瞄准 (whoever I take aim at)
2. 子弹正中心脏 (gets a bullet right in their heart)
3. On your knees/俯首称臣(bow your head and surrender)
4. 手下的败将 (the defeated (underneath [my] hand))
"光明或黑暗,不过不同立场”
("Light or darkness, they're merely different stances")
最终,不也是同样下场?
(In the end, isn't it also the same outcome?)
Except the last line in red which is my own addition, all chinese wordings from the lyrics of Vein's character song, 血色风浪/Bloody Storm. In brackets are my attempts at translation
Original post here, where I had also put my further thoughts on them as parallels/foils in one of the other reblogs(albeit disorganised)

Guide on devotional playlists!
(Note: English is my second language, there could be mistakes. Please be understanding.)
Making devotional playlist and listening it is one of the simplest way to connect and honour your Deity, plus it is a popular devotional act. It is simple, so if you have little energy, disabled, don't have time, it is a good, easy and modern thing to do, that everyone can do. But sometimes it's hard to decide what to add to playlist, so today I made a guide, how to make devotional playlist. You can add your additions, if you have one, it will be great! This guide will work for every God, Deity, Spirit, not just Netjeru.
I will go through it with my Patron God Sutekh and my playlist to Him and examples from that playlist.
I need to say with a little reminder, that everyones music taste is different and two playlists for same God will never be same, so be kind to each other.
You can put songs of any language.
1.) Songs directly about God.
It is self-explanatory. If it is a song about God, if it sings Their myths, or is about God without Their name, but it's clearly Them, it falls under this category. It is one of the simplest. For me those are:
Derek Fietcher – Set;
Канцлер Ги – Полынь и Ковыль;
Khepri – The Desert od Set;
Altay Tuna POLAT – Mercy of Seth, and so on.
2.) Songs that have Their energy, that feel like Them or Their symbols.
That could be one of the biggest categories, because there could be a lot songs that can feel like Deity. It could be Their aspects, symbols, animals, domains and just energy in general. For example, song "God" by Jake Daniels have big Sutekh energy for me with the lyrics themselves. List can be replenished with:
Alcest – Sapphire;
Watt White – Eye of the Storm;
Blackmore's Night – Storm;
The Score – Revolution;
Casey Edwards – Bury the Light;
Hollywood Undead – Bloody Nose;
Fall out boy – The Phoenix;
Adrian Von Ziegler – Ancient Storm;
Once Monsters – My Name Is...;
Ария – Дух Войны;
Halestorm – I Am the Fire;
And so on. It could be one of the biggest categories and for everyone it will be different.
3.) Songs that you think They will like.
Basically, songs, that don't have to do with the Deity themselves, but you think your God might like them. It could be specific genre, that associated with Them, like rock or hip-hop, that just have something in it. My examples are:
Ghost – Mary on a Cross;
My Chemical Romance – Na Na Na;
Glass Animals – Toes;
Rammstein – Sonne;
Bryce Fox – Horns, and so on.
4.) UPG.
This is a part, that will appear through your time with Deity, it is something that will feel to everyone personally. Maybe, a symbol, an animal, maybe, you will have special relationship. It is individual from person to person. In songs it could be a specific genre, that you feel to Deity and songs connected to your UPG. As well, it could be song through which your God gave you some kind of lesson.
For me, Sutekh became my parental figure, He became very special to be, so my playlist has songs from parental love, like:
My Indigo – Safe and Sound;
Three Days Grace – Unbreakable Heart;
Peter Gundry – A father's lesson;
Three Days Grace – Painkiller.
Song through which He gave me reminder and lessons to continue fighting:
The Score – Born For This.
And so on. UPG can be very different, and so are the songs.
5.) Ambient and nature sounds.
This part can be not for every God. Mostly, it is good for Gods with nature elements, to listen them. Like, for Sutekh, I listen sounds of desert and sounds of storm and rain. But ambient is more universal. It can be, again, ambient of some kind of nature place and event, like, again, desert, water, forest, it could be ambient of some general feeling, like dark, calm, energetic. There is a lot of ambient in videos and others people playlists. It can also be UPG.
For general Netjeru, I can recommend Egyptian music. For Anpu it could be more dark ambient, for Wesir calm, for Heru it could be royal.
Under this category also falls music for meditation. Music with calm rhythm, without words. I have another playlist for Sutekh, that is sixteen and half hours long with music that feels like desert and sounds of storm.
That is all I got so far. You can write down additions for categories, if you have!
I hope everyone will have a great day!

Mercy like song recs I didn't see on her playlist, but they're mostly by one artist because I'm insane; Bilgewater by Brown Bird lyric highlights in terms of Mercy likehood "Sunshine through the rain and snow, There’s an oily brine bilge water baptism waiting below." "When everyday is like a war, You find no strength from your usual source, There’s no peace, there’s no rest, Your fortitude is feeling put to the test. When everyday is like a war between the will to go on And a wish that the world would spiral into the sun, Turn your head toward the storm that’s surely coming along."
Slow Black River by Iron and Wine "Lost my watch, watch, and chain, But time's not lost, This time we walk together, Beside the slow black river." Chairkickers by Brown Bird "I own only what owns me, This place ain't my home but I'm calling it mine." "There are cracks in the minds of our own humankind, That are leaking out poison and hope, Which we choose to imbibe is our own to decide, Be it internal life or the ghost." Thunder and Lightning by Brown Bird "you sent the whole world away, and now you huddle there alone in your tower of tears, every step and every stone filled with millions of fears, your poison blood and brittle bones start to clutter and crack beneath your hell of a home." "cut down by the cruel and the crass fold, catch hell from the mighty and high, ain't nowhere left for the good to go, no truth in a world full of lies" "why do we cry cry our eyes out, in them low lowly graves, mourning all the times we would've could've should've had our way." Nothing Left by Brown Bird I can't highlight a lyric here because it's the whole thing. if you look at one, let it be this one. "And I'm bloodying the garment of a ghost inside, making damn sure the body doesn't die." Wrong Black Mare by Brown Bird "Daddy laid it all on the wrong black mare, Hopped the next train to God knows where, But God don't go where your daddy's gone, Where the cowards and the fools belong." "You woke screamin' to a frightening sound, And your mama laying on the ground, A bad man running down the back door stairs, Blame it all on the wrong black mare."
I ACTUALLY LIKE ALL OF THESE SONGS LMAOOOO I HAVE OTHER PLAYLISTS WITH ALL OF THESE HAHAHA

Empurple (English Translyrics) / エンパープル
Song: Harumaki Gohan
References: Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki
youtube
----------------------------------------------------------
Empurple
She rides on the power lines
Brooding on how her lilac will morph this time
Still hiding her fated life
Loosening violet corsets made of frilly lies
The answer has rusted away
So what will be your fate, trapped in the vase, my Rebecca*?
These words lodging in my throat, my bluish soul dyed in blood is being empurpled
Come open my left hand so tight and see what lies inside
These simple blue eyes shining so bright
Won’t I gasp if navy blood
Fills my heart where I once stood?
I just want to live my truth under this burning crimson sky
Hurting hearts and holding hands
Hoping you would understand
Please forgive me and ‘Purple’
All my wavering soul is being empurpled
She rips power lines apart
Catching the snake that killed the heart of that one innocent young princess**
Legs sore at the traffic light
Watching the crowds all intersperse, herself lost in all their sight, she’s-
-staring at those fading girls with foggy eyes, another Alice*** on a puppet string has passed right by
So shall I bind the wires around her heart if that would lighten up your mind?
Come open my right hand so bright and see my burning blight
A bloodied red sky trapped inside
Won’t you gasp at what lies bare?
Scarlet pouring in the air
Never knowing all these sights of my stunning crimson sky
Holding hands in pouring storms
Feeling your unending warmth
Please forgive me and ‘Purple’
All my wavering soul is being empurpled
Tinged with those blue eyes, colors swirling inside
Painting all my heart with a hue undefined
Reaching for your hand, standing bare in your sight
Do you see the sky that your love earnestly hides?
Grasping shards of red and blue
As I bid my mask adieu
But this dust won’t be enough to fix my shattered heart inside
If you hold my hand, I plead
Mend my fraying ruby seams
Please forgive me and ‘Purple’
All my wavering soul is being empurpled
--------------------------------------------------------
* 'Rebecca' may refer to Clematis Rebecca (red / purple flowers), the shade 'Rebecca' Purple' which is the key color in the song above, or the Hebrew name Rebecca which means 'to tie' / 'to bind'.
** This may refer to a Russian fairytale where an emperor marries a willing daughter off to a snake, where she is abused and killed; it may also refer to Cleopatra’s death, in which it’s believed she allowed an Egyptian cobra to bite her.
*** This may refer to Alice in Alice in Wonderland.

wen kexing, listen to my lament | Jarðartrá
there is an evil sibling to this video thats basically the exact same, only it hones even more in on wen kexing's fear of vulnerability and his yearning for warmth and release, to Sundown by Nightwish. i couldnt decide on a version and chose to go with both!
this is an almost 5 minutes video of just wen kexing shots from specific moments of the show while he has different conversations with different people. i wanted to comb his layers aside to find his dark underbelly; that terrible (self) destruction he bears within himself, that desire to harm that contrasts so his yearning for emotional intimacy. i wanted to explore that through his conversations with the most influental people in his present life: zhou zishu, luo fumeng, liu qianqiao, and gu xiang.
watch on youtube! | (original song) Jarðartrá by Eivør
“When I wrote this song, I envisioned the earth in its rawest elements: oceans, volcanoes, storms, soil”, remembers Eivør. “We all have echoes of these elements within us, but maybe we tend to forget that we are part of nature and its endless circle of decay and growth”. —Season of Mist, Eivør announces new album with earthy, electronic single "Jarðartrá", March 2024
(fully translated lyrics and thoughts under the cut!)
Dust to Dust/Jarðartrá, Eivør
Still it gushes forth in crimson waves fat river of fates bloodies sharpened blades From its dark depths corpses rise all the ocean’s delights drift before your sight Lift up your clouded eyes and look at me your unmasked home Listen to my lament come lie down in my blue embrace Reeking of your cruel rage flaking weapon-rust crusts your fierce death-lust Raging pyres must blaze out life’s primal song Can you sing along?
lyrics taken from the music video on youtube.
i took a more figurative approach to this video by expressing these themes, as i tend to do with all of my edits, and it doesnt focus on wen kexing's actions, rather on his relationships with those around him (also smth i tend to centre over other things), but i felt that aside from the rawness of the song's audio, the lyrics fit wen kexing's general plight very well and how it might affect his relationships even to those he wants to draw close and that he cares for.

Shadow Waltz
Ch. 1: Prologue - The Shadow Waltz Begins
CW: Graphic violence, death
Hey folks! This will be a long-form lucifer/alastor fic that isn't compliant with alastor's serial killer past. instead, in this world, alastor is sacrificed as part of a ritual and goes straight to hell. lucifer does his best to help <3
(Lyrics from "Shadow Waltz" by Bing Crosby)
youtube
In the shadows, let me come and sing to you
Let me dream a song that I can bring to you
Take me in your arms and let me cling to you
Let me linger long
Let me live my song
It was another quiet night at the station, and Alastor was, as usual, reclining in his chair and sipping his coffee as Bing Crosby crooned across the airwaves. Peaceful. Calm. Quiet. Just a hint of static in the air. It had to be close to midnight now, and when Alastor flicked his gaze out the window, the pinhole lights of stars winked down at him. There was nothing better.
Of course, that’s when it all went wrong.
In the winter, let me bring the spring to you
Let me feel that I mean everything to you
Love’s old song will be new
In the shadows when I come and sing to you
The door crashed open and hooded figures with shrouded, indistinct faces stormed into the booth. Alastor choked on his tea, dropping his mug and barely hearing it shatter against the ground. In an instant, he was being grabbed by strong arms and dragged out of his chair, dragged across the floor, dragged out the door. He tried to say something—the urge to shout and scream clawed at his throat—but nothing came out. The station was near a wooded area, a fact Alastor had loved ardently up until this very moment, as sharp branches scratched at his cheeks and tore open his skin. He was kicking his feet, desperately trying to resist, but the figures didn’t pay any attention to him.
And then they were in the clearing, a myriad of candles casting a red hue across the horrid scene. In the center was a bloodied altar upon which a deer had been brutalized. Behind it, there were chains and manacles attached to a tree. With a creeping sense of dread, Alastor realized that they were meant for him.
Shadows on the wall
I can see them fall
Here and there
Everywhere
They push him against the tree brutally and he hears rather than feels the crack of his head against the bark. His world darkens and grows hazier. Perhaps it is for the best, Alastor thinks to himself, and his suspicions are confirmed when one of the hooded figures picks up the deer’s antlers with reverence. Alastor’s lungs burn and his head spins and his vision blurs. Everything is happening too fast. He wonders, for a moment, if he’s just having a nightmare, if Bing Crosby’s dulcet tones lulled him into sleep.
Then, pain.
Silhouettes in blue
Dancing in the dew
Here I am
Where are you?
Distantly, as unconsciousness tugs at his mind, he hears chanting. Gibberish, for the most part, but then he picks out a word. A name. Lucifer.
It’s the last thought he has. He falls out of consciousness and then his soul falls out of its body and he is shackled by red light and pure, horrific darkness before being pulled down, down, down, so fast it’s impossible. He falls with a painful thump upon a flat surface. He doesn’t think he has eyes or a mouth or even a body, but he can still sense. He senses a being of pure light, light so impossibly bright and warm and radiant.
“I’m so sorry,” it says, too softly, too kindly. “I’ll do what I can.”
The light grows and grows until it cocoons him. He can feel himself being made anew.
In the winter, let me bring the spring to you
Let me feel that I mean everything to you
Love’s old song will be new
In the shadows when I come and sing to you, dear
In the shadows when I come and sing to you

Vein and Xia Fei: Song Analysis
Last edited: Jan. 1, 2025, 15:31
---
Vein’s PV is associated with surveillance and control:
Xia Fei’s PV is full of him being the subject of a camera:
Vein is always looking at Xia Fei:
(In the scene above, only Vein reacted to XF. Liu Xiao didn’t bat an eye at him the entire time.)
One is behind the camera, while the other is in front of it.
Song lyrics analysis under the cut. Lyric videos have been included for your reference. Make sure to turn on the closed captions.
Burning Palace
youtube
In the beginning of the song, Xia Fei’s and Vein’s parts are intertwined. Notable lines:
The stubborn guys are fighting back. I’ll let them talk.
Incompetent guys better understand, time to shut your mouth.
Bloody Storm
youtube
Don’t lie to me, I see through your delusions If I want to win, I win with open dignity
....
If I don’t claim the throne, who dares to act more arrogant than I? Bow your head, surrender, and hand your kindness over to desire Absolute victory, this duel is already decided I want this world to surge and churn with a bloody storm
...
If I don’t claim the throne, who dares to act more wild than I? Like a blade unsheathed, shedding its disguise and revealing its edge Adore my facade yet dread my madness Slander or praise, it’s futile to think of shaking my scepter
Rent a Shell
youtube
To the lights, I lend this exquisite shell To stand in the center and excel I don’t care what it takes to stride Until the others choose to move on Or realize I wouldn’t do it wrong
...
Heaven hasn’t favored me, so I’ll crown myself with this star path Sharp whispers scatter, harsh and loud Like moths diving into flames unbound But I got the flame that can put out all the streams So just back off, back off
...
’Cause I got nothing to lose All I do is pursue
...
No need to guess, this seamless disguise The crowd will forget this masked facade in time Let the wildfire drown the truth’s cry Who will perfectly hide the stolen gaze now? Yeah, I know I gotta run Yeah, fake a smile in calm
Conclusion
Red Lines: Disallowing lies vs Allowing lies
V: Don’t lie to me, I see through your delusions
X: To the lights, I lend this exquisite shell
Orange Lines: Open vs Hidden
V: If I want to win, I win with open dignity
X: I don’t care what it takes to stride
V: Like a blade unsheathed, shedding its disguise and revealing its edge
X: No need to guess, this seamless disguise
V: Adore my facade yet dread my madness
X: The crowd will forget this masked facade in time
Green Lines: Receive vs Pursue
V: If I don’t claim the throne, who dares to act more arrogant than I?
X: Heaven hasn’t favored me, so I’ll crown myself with this star path
V: Bow your head, surrender, and hand your kindness over to desire
X: All I do is pursue
Blue Lines: Absolute Victory vs Nothing to Lose
V: Absolute victory, this duel is already decided
X: ’Cause I got nothing to lose
Pink Lines: Truth by Water vs Lies by Fire
V: I want this world to surge and churn with a bloody storm
X: Let the wildfire drown the truth’s cry
Edit: After rewatching Bloody Storm, I’m no longer sure about Vein being water because…he’s got literal fire in his PV lol. But water/fire association aside, the storm in his song does still represent truth / being true to desire
Violet Lines: On external opinions: Uncaring vs Defensive
V: Slander or praise, it’s futile to think of shaking my scepter
X: Sharp whispers scatter, harsh and loud
X: But I got the flame that can put out all the streams
X: So just back off, back off
In Burning Palace, Vein’s and Feifei’s parts were a celebration of their similarities. However, their individual character songs show how much they contrast each other
Edit: I was wrong. Burning Palace also juxtaposes Vein and Xia Fei. While Xia Fei is telling his enemies to shut their mouths, Vein is letting them talk.
