I know there's already a thread for songs that remind you of your characters, but this one is for specific parts of the song's lyrics, not the entire song.
For example: the line "Draw the curtains, take the stage" from Swan Song by Set It Off reminds me a lot of Taro, simply because he's a stage actor.
There are actually two things, both for the same character from the same song.
The lines are from "The Resistance" by Skillet,
the first is "Am a soldier, Won't Surrender"
Next is "You can take my heart, you can take my breath, When you pry it from my cold dead chest!"
These relate to this character because the are the leader of The royal guard, the best soldier in the Underworld, and will fight for her friends and people that believe in her till her dying breath,
i got a couple:
"Don't be that way
Fall apart twice a day
I just wish you could feel what you say"
- "idontwannabeyouanymore" by billie eilish
"They said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire, you must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes"
- "smoke gets in your eyes" by the platters
- "liability" by lorde
"If you need somebody to love
I could be somebody to love
If only I could help myself"
- "under the microscope" by matthew santos
sorry if this is long lol
I also have quite a few oops
I Don't Know How But They Found Me - Choke
Oh, you clever little things
The sycophantic teens
What a precious basket case
~
Panic! At The Disco / Fun. - C'mon
If I should die tonight
May I first just say I'm sorry
For I, never felt like anybody
I am a man of many hats although I
Never mastered anything
But I am ten feet tall
I've never felt this tall since the fall
Nobody seems to know my name
So don't leave me and sleep all alone
Maybe stay lost on our way home
~
Mother Mother - Little Pistol
And now I want brimstone in my garden
I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
And I, I think I know just what that means
...
And now I found brimstone in my garden
I found roses set on fire
And I found Jesus, what a liar
So I trade licks with Muddy Waters
Always associate Finch with this lyric strand. Finch has a lot of hidden anxiety and paranoia about the way others see them and over past pains. This lyric line describes so well how they feel and also how their best friend who is always talking them off the ledge would try and speak to them.
"The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright"
Crosses by José González
oh man I have a song on this girl's playlist that fits her so well I can't pick out one bit of it to put here so i'm just putting all of it
Here's to the one with the smoking stare
Running through my head with a bolo knife
Chopping up the threads made up from looms
Of love and blood and hate and some empty tunes
Eyes killer cold and black and bare
Freaky little tooth hanging solo
Sucking at the walls like a rolo now
Making a cocoon when my brain fits
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back with a club and attack
I wanna take to my guns and break you
I gotta make my little foe take his own
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back with a club and attack
I wanna take to my guns and break you
I gotta make my little foe take his own
I've overgrown with a yellow mold
Just fizzing drones in a hollow dome
My funny nose dripping little groans
I'm so so cold in the marrow of my bones
I look at you as you take a snooze
Your skinny lips dripping rabid goo
I lift your chin and I grin at you
As you come to, man
I'm running round your head with a bolo knife
I'm gonna go back
I'm gonna go back
I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask
I was in full bloom until I met you
I'm gonna shake my fetters I'm breaking loose
I'm gonna go back
I'm gonna go back
I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask
I was in full bloom until I met you
I'm gonna shake my fetters I'm breaking loose
I'm gonna go back
I'm gonna go back
I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask
I was in full bloom until I met you
I'm gonna shake my fetters I'm breaking loose

"When it comes to Friday, I always earn
But don't try to teach me, I got nothing to learn
'Cause baby I'm gifted
You see what I mean?
USDA certified lean!"
oof, I have an entire playlist for this gal, this is gonna be a long one
billie eilish - ilomilo
Told you not to worry
But maybe that's a lie
Honey, what's your hurry?
Won't you stay inside?
Remember not to get too close to stars
They're never gonna give you love like ours
---
So where did you go?
I should know, but it's cold
And I don't wanna be lonely
So tell me you'll come home
Even if it's just a lie
I tried not to upset you
Let you rescue me
The day I met you, I just wanted to protect you
But now I'll never get to
My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You
I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are never ever...
Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
The Neighbourhood - Everybody's Watching Me
I told you I would tell you
Everything you wanna know
You want me to tell you know
You pressure me to shout it
Need to hear about it
I think that I will count you out
I let you find it on your own
Then I found myself alone
Awkward Marina - Crushed Creations
Ripping paper at my will
Couldn't time stand a little less still?
Ripping paper to catch that thrill
Only ready when ready strikes
Octahedrons under my soles
You could tell me this plot's got holes
Battle-ready I stumble
Crushed creations I crumble
Take my pencil out of my hand
I'll be free, oh
Crushed creations so unknown
'Till the light of the sun's shown
Take my pencil out of my hand
I'll be free, oh
Free to go
The Scary Jokes - Catabolic Seed
Oh, what's a devil to do
When those old delusions so tried and true
Don't come through
Like they used to
Oh, all my money's run out
I blew it all on a cumulus cloud
That dissipated so fast
Seems the good times never last
And I'm always falling flat on my back
Like an upside-down cat
But is bad luck really such a crime?
---
Oh, I made a silly mistake
(What'd you do?)
I've given up more than I can take
(Uh oh!)
And left hollows in my wake
Oh, my structure's compromised
(I'm safe. I'm whole. I've got it under control.)
But you still batter at all my fault lines
(I'm safe. I'm whole. I've got it under control.)
I can't run, I can't hide, but you can't say I didn't try
(And I will protect you, even if you won't protect me too!)
To retreat back into me
Like a catabolic seed
I want to destroy everything that's mine
---
I don't care if I'm losing myself in the garden of earthly delights
I could drop dead right where I stand and I wouldn't mind
Definitly play with fire!
"Insane, inside the danger gets me high
Can't help myself got secrets I cant tell
I love the smell of gasoline
I light the match to taste the heat
I've always liked to play with fire
Play whith fire"
"She's a psycho from a Midwest suburb
No straightjacket could hold her
Wild eyes, they would lure me in her trap"
and
"That's when I noticed that something was strange
Out of my range, there was no way back
Something went off in my brain
She was insane, here she goes again"
I have a few for my main dnd boy here, so I'll put a spoiler tag on them!
"The Wheel In The Sky Keeps On Turnin',
I Don't Know Where I'll Be Tommorow"
- Wheel in the Sky, Journey
Reason: Mournimar is a wanderer. He has no idea where the hand of fate is gonna throw he and his companions next.
"Time and again, boys are raised to be men,
Impaitient they start, fearful they end,
but here was a man mourning tomorrow,
he drank to finally drown in his sorrow.
He could not break surface tension,
he looked in the wrong place for redemption"
- A Sadness Runs Through Him, The Hoosiers
Reason: Mournimar's past tends to haunt him. He was raised to be a killing machine for the goddess of cruelty, and being a tiefling made the cult he was raised in have high expectations of him. He's scared of his curse overtaking him (he has a curse where he goes into a blackout rage and attacks anything that moves) to the point where it causes him to have mental breakdowns. He wants to help as many people as he can, but this has lead to him getting involved with some less than good people in his past, yet he still helps anyone he feels needs it. He sees good in almost everyone.
"You fall through the trees
And you pray with your knees on the ground
For the things that you need
With your lust and your greed weighing down
And you weaken your love
And you hold it above your head
Success is a song of the heart, not a song of your bed
And we all still die
Yeah we all still die
What will you leave behind?
Oh we all still die"
-Willow Tree March, The Paper Kites
Reason: Despite Mournimar's rather optimistic demeanor, on the inside he deals with feelings of hopelessness, especially when things go wrong.
"Lost in the playground
Late night nostalgia
Open the sky for me now
Friends round the fire
Outside in December
Open the sky for me now
Oh I'm like a kid who just won't let it go
Twisting and turning the colors in rows
I'm so intent to find out what it is
This is my Rubik's cube
I know I will figure it out"
-Rubik's Cube, Athlete
Reason: Mournimar longs for the joys of childhood, since he never had one. His early years were tainted by being used a cult's toy and probably heir. The party, namely Luctan and Belli, are all Mourni has in terms of people he feels he can fully trust. They're basically his family that he never had.
"Mama, we're all full of lies
Mama, we're meant for the flies
And right now they're building a coffin your size
Mama, we're all full of lies
Well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue
You should have raised a baby girl
I should've been a better son
If you could coddle the infection
They can amputate at once
You should've been
I could have been a better son"
-Mama, My Chemical Romance
Reason: Mournimar has an extreme hatred for his mother, since she's the one who is responsible for both bringing him into this world, and into the cult. She made a pact with Potencia, the goddess of cruelty, which resulted in him being born a Tiefling, subject of praise from the cult, and scorn from the outside world, instead of the half-drow he could have been. Mournimar hates his mother even more upon learning she is indeed alive and leading the Potencia cult. The line "well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue" can be reference to Mournimar's curse in a sense.
"I whisper to the ground:
"Thought you would always be around"
Wish you were not alone
In the great unknown
I wish you could see me now
I think you would be proud
You said one day I would understand
But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan"
-I Wish, Battle Beast
Reason: Mournimar is riddled with guilt from accidentally murdering his father due to his curse when he was 15-ish. He desperately hopes that his father is proud of him for escaping the cult and doing things with his life, but he doesn't know for sure, and that pains him.
"You’re something special
Want you to know you are
Your makers must have kissed in cosmic dust
You’re something special
You’ve got to know its true
Could have been anything but right, you’re you
You’re something special
You’ve got to shout it out
If there are doubts then we will groove it out
You’re something special
You are the little fang
You keep on grinning
And this world keeps nagging"
-Little Fang, Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks
Reason: Aside from being told he was "Special" for being a tiefling by the cult he was raised in, the party seems to genuinley like him, but he always doubts it. In general, Mournimar has a lot of self-worth issues.
I would add more but that would mean sharing potential spoilers so no can-do,,
Got a few. XD
I don't even like this song but parts of it fit missis Christine Anderson, a journalist specializing on hauntings and ghost stories with a repressed lowkey fetish for "dangerous" men.
I'm searching for something that I can't reach
I don't like them innocent
I don't want no face fresh
Want them wearing leather
Begging, let me be your taste test
I like the sad eyes, bad guys
Mouth full of white lies
Kiss me in the corridor
But quick to tell me goodbye
"-----"
My ghost
Where'd you go?
I can't find you in the body sleeping next to me
Hehlel. An angel who thought all that's good comes from God and ended up banished on Earth. She had some timey-wimey stuff going on about her and she started the beginning of the apocalypse.
So you're an angel meant to walk down here
And you believe it's all divine
And you don't play by all those temporal rules
Watch the world begin to die
For Nimue Jakande. Her powers came from Goddess of the Sun, giving her glowy eyes among other things. The roleplays main villain killed the Goddess, engulfing the whole world into sunless darkness. I imagine this as her ass-kicking song when she went to challenge him, with the world holding their breath as to the outcome of this fight.
Relevant lyrics in english:
Everyone's waiting for the light
Be afraid, don't be afraid
The sun is shining out of my eyes
She will not set tonight
And the world counts loudly to ten
The sun shines out of my hands
It can burn you, it can blind you
For This One, who's the manifestation of the collective memories of a reincarnating soul. This One believes that the richness of experience lies in how each entitys' reality is unique just to them.
Different worlds, different things
Different thoughts of different people
God given blaze of colour everywhere
Heaven in black - heaven in white
Loving the darkness and the light
Different thoughts could make our life so colourful
Heaven in black - heaven in white
Living by day and loving the night
Opposites attract in our life
For Henry/Julia aka. Mr./Mrs. "I'm the sum of all my roles and experiences! Life is too short to spend it being one person!"
Who am I? So many faces,
Dressed in rags for all to see
Here I am, in the mask
A jester who wants to be free
