Show me how to be whole again

[music-in-my-veins14]

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see For you to see

[itscauseimbatman]

Bring me home in a blinding dream

Through the secrets that I have seen

Wash the sorrow from off my skin

And show me how to be whole again

[musicandi]

"girls in glass houses.. "

"Should throw bigger stones"

Because I am only a Crack in this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see

[energylessartist]

'Cause I'm oooonly a craaaack, in this Caaaastle of Glaaaass

Hardly aaaanything there for you to seeee

For You to Seeee

[cruorcrave]

In honour of over a month of diary entries, I thought I'd compile all of my "songs of the day" so far. I don't pick them arbitrarily but rather based on vibe, lyrics, etc. to relate to what I'm feeling or going through. My song of the day is usually a good indicator of my headspace and so you can kinda see my journey over time (if you know the songs ofc). So, here is the first month (and a bit) of songs!

November:

20th: Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit 21st: Twenty One Pilots - Choker 22nd: Linkin Park - Resolution 23rd: Switchfoot - Meant to Live 24th: Static-X - Push It 26th: Three Days Grace - Time of Dying 27th: Sum 41 - Still Waiting 28th: Glitchtrode - a voice from my past 29th: Twenty One Pilots - Guns for Hands 30th: Paramore - Decode

December: 1st: Static-X - Bled for Days 2nd: My Chemical Romance - Cubicles 4th: Low Roar - Without You 6th: Twenty One Pilots - Neon Gravestones 7th: Twenty One Pilots - Johnny Boy 8th: Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands) 9th: Flyleaf - This Close 10th: Static-X - Stem 11th: Linkin Park - Bleed It Out 12th: Linkin Park - From the Inside 14th: Slipknot - Vermilion Pt. 2 15th: My Chemical Romance - Vampires Will Never Hurt You 16th: Linkin Park - Easier to Run 17th: Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit 18th: Linkin Park - Nobody's Listening 19th: Sum 41 - Pieces 20th: Linkin Park - CASTLE OF GLASS 21st: Korn - Beg For Me 22nd: Slipknot - Left Behind 24th: Linkin Park - Crawling 25th: Three Days Grace - Never Too Late 27th: Linkin Park - By Myself 28th: Linkin Park - Casualty 29th: Twenty One Pilots - A Car, a Torch, a Death

So the "leaderboard" is Linkin Park in first with 11 (including the only repeated song, Breaking the Habit. Not surprising), Twenty One Pilots in second with 5 and Static-X in a close third with 3.

Yes I am neurodivergent why do you ask?

Title: Castle of Glass

Music: Linkin Park - Castle of Glass

Anime: PANDORA HEARTS

Why is it good?: A good MMV with a great editing and images that well match the music and the lyrics, going through the various characters of Pandora Hearts.

Ateez Playlist: Offstage

AKA: Songs that remind me of the members and why. (GIF Credit to the original owners!) Minor Trigger Warning, this post talks about some of the darker sides of mental health, so please read with caution. 

Ateez are super different on versus offstage, so I’m splitting up their two personalities in separate posts. 

Onstage Version Here. Master List

~~

Seonghwa: Save Myself- Ed Sheeran

This song is all about a person who has spent their whole life helping others and not getting anything in return. Its a lament to hurting oneself in order to help others. Seonghwa is nurturing, to the point where he��s considered the mom of Ateez, but there are times you can tell he’s the one in need of a hug. Save Myself feels like the kind of song he would want to sing, but not have the heart to admit that he too needs a little help. 

Hongjoong: Castle of Glass- Linkin Park

So, I personally think Linkin Park and Hongjoong go perfectly together, and not just because of his awesome cover and the fact that he sometimes dresses like a 2013 emo kid. Castle of Glass is strange, both in its lyrics and its melody. Its an almost haunting song, about the singer(s) not being perceived as a meaningful thing, and their desperation to be helped, hidden behind a melody that draws you in. Hongjoong is the same way for me, someone who seeks help and to change the world, but would never say it out loud. 

Yunho: Falling- Harry Styles

Falling comes at the end of the relationship, when the singer is lamenting not only the failed relationship, but also the person they’ve become. Yunho strikes me as someone who is very self-reflective and would be able to acknowledge his own faults and failings. The singer’s voice is also so full of raw emotion, it feels like he’s baring his soul, something that feels very Yunho. 

Yeosang: Achillies Come Down- Gang of Youths

I’ll be honest, I had such a hard time with Yeosang, but I settled on this song because of one main thing: this song is not about Achillies. Yes, technically it is, but its moreso about Patroclus’ love of Achillies and him continuing to fight Achillies demons, even after death. It’s that aspect that reminds me of Yeosang, a lover who would help you face your demons, and remind you of the promises you made. He does remind me of Achillies as well, a good man with too many monsters to fight, but the mysterious, ghostly tenor of Patroclus is what makes this song Yeosang’s. 

San: Begging- Maneskin

Not gonna lie, the first word that comes to mind when I think of San is Horny. And when you first listen to Beggin, it just sounds horny, but if you read the lyrics, its actually a rather interesting song. The singer is begging for the subject not to leave, to continue to love them. They explain how their lover has made them change into a better person. Its actually really raw and emotional. San is similar. While he’s known for being a phenomenally hot guy, he’s still a gentle soul, someone searching for that person who makes him better. 

Mingi: Iris- Goo Goo Dolls

This song is so fucking sad, but if you listen to the lyrics, you find that its a song about someone who finds a person that makes them want to show off their flaws, knowing that the rest of the world would never understand. Mingi is, on the outside, a very brilliant light. He’s cheerful and funny but we know that deep down he’s not always okay. He has this profound air of sadness around him, and I feel like Iris would be a song he could at least relate to. 

Wooyoung: What a Shame- Layla Blue

What a Shame is such a cocky song. There’s really no other way to describe it. The point of the song is pointing out that the ex definitely downgraded, and that is such a Wooyoung mood. On the other hand, Wooyoung also feels like he could be the recipient of the song, the person the singer is chiding. His degradation thing is blatant, so a song degrading him just feels correct. 

Jongho: Kryptonite- 3 Doors Down

Jongho is known for his strength, for being the quiet kid, but people seem to forget, he’s only 22. He’s actually about 6 months younger than me. Kryptonite is a song I feel like he would sing, or at least send to his friends. It asks the listener if they would still be around if the singers strength failed them, and baby Jongho might need to confirm that everyone would be. 

What do you think? Do you agree or do you have songs that remind you of the members? Let me know in the comments and stay tuned for the onstage version coming soon.

Favorite Track:

CASTLE OF GLASS

Least favorite track:

SKIN TO BONE

Album art opinions:

The cover features a figure of a person with a grey exoskeleton of sorts seemingly exploding off of the body, revealing a figure underneath. As this album is one that is mean to signify transformation and being ones Self this is rather fitting.

Color: 4/10

Recognizability: 3/10

Vibes: 6/10

Total:4 /10

Music opinions/notes:

This album features electronic elements, something that is definitely no stranger to Linkin Parks sound, though it is significantly more prominent in this record than ones past. It feels somewhat like a homecoming for the band, with strong vocals from both Chester and Mike with a clear direction for this album. It's cohesive, each song is distinct, and it continues the spirit of the first two iconic albums while pushing their sound in a new direction.

Mix: 9/10

Lyrics: 7/10

Instruments: 8/10

Vibes: 9/10

Total: 8/10

[hyperbolicreverie]

Thank you @13shapeshifters for the tag! This was a fun one!

1). Picrew

(Why are there never any picrews with hairsticks? TT_TT)

2) shuffle my on repeat playlist and post the first 10 tracks

Hum Hallelujah--Fallout Boy

Castle of Glass--Linkin Park

Embers--Owl City

Sound the Bells--Dessa

Streets of Gold--Aviators

Twisted by Design--Sum 41

Fortuna (Warframe)--Divide Music

Dawn--Echo Black, Danny Blu

Falling Down--Oasis

The Ticketman--Rachel Rose Mitchell

Bit less varied than normal. Some of that is writing music, though, so that's why those are there.

3) this questionnaire:

Tea, coffee, or soda?

Don't like most soda, coffee belongs solely in tiramisu, and tea on occasion. (Usually the iced chai variety). Will pass up all three for just a cold glass of milk.

Dogs or cats?

Cats. Cats cats cats.

Can you play any instruments?

Not...really? I played the flute in elementary and middle school but I was never amazing at it...need to get back to learning the tin penny whistle again. I can sing?

Whats your sun sign?

Aries/Taurus cusp. Two for the price of one!

First song lyrics that pops into your head?

The road outside my house/Is paved with good intentions/Hired a construction crew/'Cause it's hell on the engine.

Do you have any tattoos?

I am far too indecisive for my own tattoos but I will happily gush over other people's.

Favorite place you've traveled?

I am not well-traveled at all, I've never been on a plane or more than five hours from the Atlantic Ocean, but...I am very fond of the quiet little islands off the coast of Maine. Good seafood, chill vibes.

Last movie you watched?

The Mummy. Infinitely re-watchable for me.

What languages do you speak?

Themes of my writing aside, only English. Trying my best to claw some of my Spanish learning back, though.

Do you have any hobbies?

Writing, LARPing...character and narrative analysis counts as a hobby, right?

You can hang out with one fictional character for an hour, who do you choose?

See, if you ask me a question like this, I just make stuttering noises for the whole hour and never pick anyone.

Compliment yourself:

I have very nice hair. It's very soft.

I tag...whomever would like to do this! Because I'm bad at asking!

[xtianvetray]

I've just got pierced with 45 needles, it was an odd and cathartic experience, i was able to think a lot about everything that has happened in the past few months, all the tears and sleepless nights, about all the things I've done and think, about all the shit storm I have in my head right now.

I feel I can not longer express myself freely or truly here, but i just need to say that right now i have a lot going on in my head, in my heart and in my life and it scares me to the core.

I'm not sure if i enjoy my current life anymore and I'm sure i want something else, something more, something better.

Now I wonder... How long can I keep going like this?

m'I doing things right at this moment?

I want to cry... I no longer feel safe in my safe place, i know now I'm broken and I need to fix myself.

Now i feel so deeply some lyrics that had touched me before.

"cos im only a crack in this castle of glass, hardly anything else for you to see"

"And every second I waste is more than I can taste"

I'm fucked...
