#the adrianne lenker lyrics let’s all pass away

[goobobbers]

My angel.

[tartagluvr]

the soft sound of a sorcerer

unfortunately my flavor of autism is music and association to it. every song i listen to has to have a connection for me personally to a time, place, person, etc. fortunately though that gives me endless creative writing ideas :D since beginning nightbringer, a lot has screamed solomon at me. i wanted to share the songs so *drops this on your doorstep and runs

warnings: me being an autistic fuck and over analyzing a fictional otome game character like babe get a life its been five years

word count: 937

immortal human; solomon, the wise

- nova amor; state lines

"are you sure, did you call? did we ever really talk, i don't know." / "i've been awake in every state line, dying to make this last us a lifetime. trying to shake that its all on an incline."

i can't really rationalize my solomon association with this one, listen to it on your own and see for yourself if you feel as i do. as an accidentally immortal being, solomon has been everywhere and all at once. he knows pasts, presents, even futures that have not a thing to do with him. he hasn't yearned to lose his immortality once until meeting you, desperate to hold onto you forever.

- lana del rey ft father john misty; let the light in

"cuz i love to love to love to love you, i hate to hate to hate to hate you." / "i need to need to need to need you."

this one is less of a lyrical association and more of a feeling. something about the chords and melody line make me think of the sorcerer. especially the minor harmony in the chorus, and over all the post production of the vocals as well. the reverb has got to be either long hall or church, the way it rings in your ears unlike studio does. yes i'm insane

- wolf larsen; if i be wrong

"what if i'm wrong, what if i've lied? what if i've dragged you here, to my own dark night?" / "ten thousand cars, ten thousand trains. there are ten thousand roads to run away. but i am not lost, i am not found. i am not dylan's wife, not cohen's hound." / "if there is a will, there is a way. i will escape for sure, i am david blaine."

there is something so carnally nb!solomon about the lyrics of this song, which is why i quoted so many of them. to me, nb!solomon is terrified he has made a wrong decision in following you to the past. it terrifies him that he so quickly chose to break time just for you, no matter the consequences. no matter if he loses his immortality, becomes stuck, passes on. he has lived so many lives and yet the only one that matters anymore is the one he wants with you. goodness me solomon.

- hozier; unknown/nth

"do you know i could break beneath the weight, of the goodness love i still carry for you? that i'd walk so far just to take, the injury of finally knowing you." / "you know it's more than being unknown. and there are some people love who are better unknown."

i don't think this one requires me to add any notes :3

- adrianne lenker; anything

"i don't want to be the owner of your fantasy, i just want to be a part of your family. and i don't wanna talk about anything, i don't wanna talk about anything." / "weren't we the stars in heaven? weren't we the salt in the sea?" / "dragon in the new warm mountain, didn't you believe in me?"

a gentle reminder that solomon is still at core a human. he has human emotions, feelings, yearnings. something about this song is so domestic and nostalgic to me, like how i imagine flicking through the pages of solomon's life would feel. its a bittersweet hug wrapped in acoustic notes.

- ethel cain; sun bleached flies

"god loves you, but not enough to save you. so i said fine, cause thats how my daddy raised me." / if they strike once, then you just hit them twice as hard. but in the end, if i bend under the weight that they gave me, then this heart would break and fall as twice as far." / "i forgive it all as it comes back to me."

thinking a lot about solomon before he became a sorcerer. thinking about his family, where he came from, how long gone that all is now. barbatos taking him in and raising him not out of love yet also not out of spite. i wonder a lot if he still remembers what it was like to be just human. perhaps he has forgotten by now, and time is the only one to blame. he just takes the punches with a smile and runs on.

-nicole dollanganger; angels of porn II

"my hair is falling out again and i don't really care, i try to stir my conscience it was never really there." / everything is fine in heaven, but i'll never get to know." / "soak all my clothes in holy water, and drown them like a crying son."

okay please hear me out on this one i know this song is a bit out there but its always on repeat for me. please there is something solomon in this song to me. don't crucify me i know i'm onto something here

- trixie mattel; the well

"loving's just a name for saving face, and running's just the way i won the race." / "no i won't come running at the ringing of the bell, no you don't throw wishes to the well." / beneath the neon moon, i'm in the light. tell me, do i ever cross your mind?"

swear this one isn't solomon associated just because it talks about running more than once. to me it reads like solomon speaking to mc, and feeling like he is always second to the demon brothers. he wants to be the one by your side before anyone else gets there, but he is always too late. so he just keeps running, from witches, from his past, from you.

-

that would be all for now :3 i love recommending music to my loved ones and crafting personalized playlists based off lyricism and overall vibes. i have a handful of songs that i associate with each demon brother as well and will probably end up yapping on my page about them sometime in the future. thanks for reading !! feel free to pretty please send me your solomon songs, or just obey me songs in general. <3 -tete

selection of lyrics under the cut

life worth missing

I think you knew/Before the war began/What loving to run towards/Something can do to a man/Fall over the edge/Learn to live while falling/Every life is a path worth following/When you put it into words/It's comfortingly bland/There's so little left to understand

everybody knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded/Everybody knows with their fingers crossed/Everybody knows the war is over/Everybody knows the good guys lost/Everybody knows the fight was fixed/The poor stay poor and the rich get rich/That's how it goes/Everybody knows

crawling in my skin

Seeing black/Seep through the cracks/Pouring out of the walls/I watch it creep and crawl/Through my room/But I can't move/Sedate me all the time/Don't leave me with my mind

relay

Evil is a relay sport/When the one who's burned/Turns to pass the torch

surface envy

I'm breaking the surface, tasting the air/Reaching for things that I could never before/The anchor is heavy, I can't hold the weight/The guilt holds me down, won't let me be myself/Suck it all in, suck it all up/Let go of thoughts that are holding me back/I push twice as hard towards it you see/And the past falls away to the bottom of the deep

fool forever

See my city in the city lights/Scratch the belly of the underside/Oh mighty man of war, how we tether together/I know you'll make a fool of me forever

deep sea

Deep sea dive/Got down, but you stayed alive/It's only you down there/You and the bends/Lose your mind/Lose track of breathing and time/It's only you down there/Sleep with the tides

circling

That is what I chose, that is what I want/And now the sun's out, and everything's fine/And you are okay because you are mine/And nothing is wrong, all of the time/And I go inside the sea sometimes

heatwave

I was on a long spiral down/Before I make it to the ground/I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck/And kick the chair out

the only thing

Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found/In a veil of great surprises; hold to my head till I drown/Should I tear my eyes out now, before I see too much?/Should I tear my arms out now? I wanna feel your touch

stay down

So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?/Aren't I the one constantly repenting for a difficult mind?/Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under/And I'll never come up again

this is not who i want to be

I wish i was scared of poison pills and pain/I wish I was scared of damage to my brain/But finally I see, I should be scared of me/How'd I come to be my own worst enemy?

stop smoking (we love you)

Stop smoking, we love you/Stop smoking, we love you/Stop smoking, we love you/And we don't want you to die

keep breathing

The storm is coming but I don't mind/People are dying, I close my blinds/All that I know is I'm breathing now

drone

I made/Choices without reason/Choices without reason/Invite strangers in/And meet them/He was just another man, tryn'a teach me something

forwards beckon rebound

Pulling your face close, wanting the inmost/Show me/I'm not afraid of you now/I'm not afraid of you now/Villain and violent, infant and innocent/Baby, both arms cradle you now

pearl diver

Treasure hunter, you are dead/The light of the world is fading/You cannot see the other end/Your body's lost all feeling/Those creatures of your woken mind/Don't fear them or their hunger/Forgive the sea, follow the tide/With the monsters on your shoulder

[mxrstar]

hi!! made a playlist for Martin and now I am sad

wrote as always an unnecessary explanation for why I chose these songs specifically? if you want to read it it’s under the cut 🌻

— The Orphan King, Mary Gauthier

alright. this is,,, my favorite song? I cry almost every time I listen to it, I cannot tell you with words how much I am in love with it. and, well. Martin “I think our experience of the universe has value, even if it disappears forever” Blackwood vs the relentless “I still believe in love” of the lyrics… “My mama had held me one time then kissed me goodbye, but I still believe in love. She never came back and I don't know why, but I still believe in love. She passed me her crown on her way out of town, but I still believe in love. She left me this kingdom to wear it around, but I still believe in love” I…. I cry.

— Class of 2013, Mitski

“Mom, I'll be quiet / It would be just to sleep at night / And I'll leave once I figure out / How to pay for my own life too / Mom, would you wash my back? / This once, and then we can forget / And I'll leave what I'm chasing / For the other girls to pursue” I don’t want this

— A Love of Some Kind, Adrianne Lenker

I listened to this song on a discovery weekly I think, and hhhhhaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaa I could only go Martin Martin Martin Martin Martin Martin “I don't have much but what I've got / is something I can give. / And I’ve found that on your own is no good way to live. / So what d’you say? / Nothing much in our way / And the world is always turning / And the light is yearning / It'll be just fine / Would you mind? / I could use a heart / I could use a home / I could use a love of some kind” ......……. h

— Unfucktheworld, Angel Olsen

technically this song has a romantic relationship behind it (I think), but the gentle, desperate tone of the lyrics, “you may not be around I am the only one now”…. it does make me think of Martin, and just… yeah, his mother. “I have to save my life / I need some peace of mind” oof

— All Alright, fun.

“Yeah, it's all alright / I guess it's all alright / I got nothing left inside of my chest, / But it's all alright” hhhhh “And I know, oh no, / You've fallen from the sun / Crashing through the clouds / I see you burning out / And I know, oh no, / That I put up a front / But maybe, just this once, / Let me keep this one” hhhhhh I love the way Nate Ruess sings those lines so much

— Utopian Futures, Kimya Dawson

I think Martin “If we were all happy that wouldn't actually be the end of the world” Blackwood deserves little a anti-capitalistic anthem, but like gentle and tender and intimate…… “Here in the place where dreams aren't dead, here in the space between our heads” I cry!!!! (also listen to Kimya Dawson please they are relentlessly touching)

— Clementine, Sarah Jaffe

there is no justification except that the melody is very melancholic and I am in love with this song and martin would listen to it a lot

— True Love Will Find You In The End, Daniel Johnston

“True love will find you in the end / This is a promise with a catch / Only if you're looking can it find you / ‘Cause true love is searching too / But how can it recognize you / If you don't step out into the light, the light / Don't be sad I know you will / Don't give up until / True love will find you in the end” presented without comment

— 6/10, Dodie

“I feel like a six out of ten / I’ve gotta get up early tomorrow again / What goes on behind the words? / Is there pity for the plain girl?  / Can you see the panic inside? / I’m making you uneasy, aren't I?” h.

— To a Poet, First Aid Kit

1. the title 2. “it always takes me by surprise, how dark it gets this time of the year, and how apparent it all becomes that you're not close, not even near. no matter how many times I tell myself I have to be sincere, I have a hard time standing up and facing those fear”

thank you for your time

— Alone Again Or, Love

I adore this song. it is just, almost defiant in its melancholy. “And I will be alone again tonight my dear”…… martin…… martin……..

— Transatlanticism, Death Cab for Cutie

the melody of this song….. “Most people were overjoyed, they took to their boats / I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat”…. the Lonely, anyone?? “I need you so much closer”?????? help?????

— Maybe Sprout Wings, The Mountain Goats

the obvious mountain goats song for Martin is always get lonely, but I like this one too. “Ghosts and clouds / And nameless things / Squint your eyes and hope real hard / Maybe sprout wings” Martin tries!!! Martin tries so hard!!!!

— Your Soft Blood, Sorority Noise

wanted!! to put an “angry” song in here, and had thought of Fantastic Bastard by Death Spells. and I looove the chorus of that song, but it didn’t fit the vibe I think? and then I remembered this one song and aaaaaa. the desperate frustration of the singer in the first half “I can be replaced / I can be replaced” and then the final part, the impulsive, angry desire to be defined by your sins if by nothing else, if the other option is always just, getting a passing mention, a distorted grey image. yeah,,,, yeah…….

— Songs for Owls, Olly Alexander

I don’t know who Olly Alexander is, I have not seen the movie this is soundtrack for, but I would die for this song. I just. it is achingly beautiful and I had to put it here

— Samson, Regina Spektor

this song is otherworldly and one day I am gonna write a jonmartin fic based on these lines (you can quote me on that): “I cut his hair myself one night / A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light / And he told me that I'd done alright / And kissed me 'til the morning light” 

— Come Away With Me, Tracey Chattaway

this is a long song, 7 minutes I think, but just… the rain,,,,,, it is just very beautiful and it reminds me of him. good ending, I think

if anyone is reading this, thank you for getting this far!
