Inspired by the forum game where you will assign lyrics to the above OC. How about the opposite, where you assign your OC to the lyrics above. Did the vibe of the lyrics match to the character's, was the lyrics have something to do with their backstory, or you just feel it's something you can find in their playlist. You can put one song or two, maximum of three songs. No need to put the whole lyrics, just put a certain part of it.
Just things in mind
- No NSFW since this game is open to minors. If the music video, lyrical content or album covers contains sensitive content please put a warning, spoil or black it. Otherwise, share an SFW music as another option. Same applies if the songs talk about sensitive topics (mental illness, crime, drugs, politics, self harm, etc.), also don't forget to give warning if there are triggering imagery (i.e. flashing lights, bright colors, etc), just in case, a video with only static images or lyrics with the song is a good option instead.
- If the lyrics might be too complex or metaphorical (which might slow down the forum game), you are welcome to add a second song option with more direct, simple, or straight forward lyrics.
- You can post non-English songs (it's varied that way), but please provide English translations of the lyrics. (You can find a lot of translated lyrics here in this website. Though, some bands may post their lyrics translation of their songs, like looking at the band's Bandcamp page for example or if you have a copy of an album, you might look in the booklet. They might provide translations.)
- Songs that are hateful (e.g. songs that promote racist, homophobic, fascist, or any kind of that) are not allowed.
- Like most of my forum game, there's no cooldown. Just don't always pick the same user constantly, make way for others.
- Please don't skip anyone, especially those that are blocked. Wait for other person to claim the blocked person
- You will get reminders to fill out your claim when it's been many hours since you left a claim
- It's a low effort game but please explain why for at least one sentence
- have fun :D :D :D :D
If such forum game already existing, please let me know and I might change the game topic
Start from me, pick one song then which OC you think will match or vibe. (I have three songs posted based on the rules given, one with straight forward lyrics, one more complicated, one Non-English song)
I'd sacrifice, I'd sacrifice myself to you Right here tonight Because you know that I love you | In our first days throughout time Broken dreams blurred our sight Pale lights lead the way Upon every face a crooked guise | Η δύναμη είσαι εσύ, η δύναμη είναι μέσα σου. (The power is you, the power lies within you) Άσε να ξυπνήσει (νοιώσε να ...) από τη θέλησή σου. (Feel it flowing from your will) Ζήσε τη ζωή σου όπως εσύ θέλεις. (Live your life the way you want it) Η μόνη εξουσία είναι ο εαυτός σου! (The only authority is yourself!) |
I immediately latched onto ID smile xD I've only listened to the song a couple of times, but this made me kinda realize that the translated lyrics remind me of Cain, as his whole personality is based upon a 'loss of identity' as a result of trying to please anyone else but himself. After a long while of doing this, he has sorta struggled with coming to terms with himself to just be himself again.
For np!
Might add more later but i can only think of a few
"Bad Motherfucker" - Biting Elbows
I'm only here for myself / I've got a big fuck you for everybody else / Not only empty but empty and loud / I wonder if my father is proud
-
I'm gonna live until I die / I'm gonna laugh instead of cry / I won't ever lose like this / Until I get the dream I believe in in these hands, / keep on fighting
-
"Even If I Stop Being Human" - Yoeko Kurahashi
Your job is a treasure to me / And I could die happy / If you just take me with you / But no matter how many origami cranes I fold / They’re only scraps of paper
The lyrics from Girl are absolutely Tantianna personified. Well, maybe except the laugh part.
She's a warrior queen who will never stop fighting for her goal: her people's future.
Np:
Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful
She just wants to be, beautiful
She goes, unnoticed she knows, no limits
She craves, attention she praises, an image
She prays to be, sculpted by the sculptor
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals
Code Lyoko: A World Without Danger
Here we are, going far, to save all that we love
If we give, all we've got, we will make it through
Here we are, like a star, shining bright on your world
Today, make evil go away
Oil is definitely him
DOLLHOUSE - Melanie Martinez
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
i'm putting judas as ic since his whole problem is centered around lying about his family, but dollhouse could easily by any character in hsts. all of them deny who they are or hide things from other characters in fear of being hated
songs for np:
She Needs Him - Her's I thought you left alone last night Put to bed, my greatest fear I know I don't reserve the right But by simply hoping he's not here Please, don't say that you've seen him She's probably got her life laid out Just let me dream a little more My heart takes up all my strength No more can I think of them No more can I hold her in my thoughts Don't say that she needs him That she needs him That she needs him | Lost in the Supermarket - The Clash I'm all lost in the supermarket I can no longer shop happily I came in here for that special offer A guaranteed personality I wasn't born so much as I fell out Nobody seemed to notice me We had a hedge back home in the suburbs Over which I never could see I heard the people who lived on the ceiling Scream and fight most scarily Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling That's how it's been all around me | Lipstick Vogue - Elvis Costello Don't say you love me when it's just a rumour Don't say a word if there is any doubt. Sometimes I think that love is just a tumour; You've got to cut it out You say you're sorry for the things that you've done. You say you're sorry but you know you don't mean it. I wouldn't worry. I had so much fun. Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue It's you |
wow lipstick vogue reminds me a lot of sadi!! lyrics could for sure represent her outlook on two of the biggest relationships she has
song for next person!
impossible - nothing but thieves
Took a breath, let it go
Felt the moment settle so
I couln't wait to tell you why
I'm standin' here with this awkward smile
And that's because
I could drown myself in someone like you
I could dive so deep I never come out
I thought it was impossible
But you make it possible
Love, it stings and then it laughs
At every beat of my battered heart
A sudden jolt, a tender kiss
I know I'm gonna die of this
And that's because
POINTS. NOTHING BUT THIEVES SIGHTED
Anyways i've listened to the particular song so many times but recently i've been thinking it kinda fits Liz!! But platonically, particularly abour her older brother and her closest friend :] !! (Got a bit long so i'm spoilering it)
When she was young, Reza/her brother was sort of like a protective bubble to her. For her, if she's near him, no one can hurt her, no one can touch her. And she could drown in him, in his arms, where the outside world doesn't exist, just her and him.
Also this part ("Love, it stings and then it laughs / At every beat of my battered heart") is soo their dynamic, Reza's way of showing care is commencing a Snippy Duel, trading lighthearted Cutting As Hell insults in sibling banter as siblings do. Especially when her deppression is at its worst, Reza would try to goad Liz into one to get her out of her deppression spirals and funks. It works almost everytime.
When she got older she eventually realized how flawed Reza is, as caring as they are in their... neurotic overprotective helicopter sibling way. She grew up, she learned there are things in the world your older sibling can't protect you from. (Like your mother, like yourself).
But then she met!! Nathan!! He was both an anchor and an escape for her, in a way. Her family, their expectations, they can be a bit ahem, much for her. But he never expects anything from her, he sees. Her. Just her. For her, being near him feels like surfacing, like taking a breath of fresh air after being suffocated by city smoke ("I thought it was impossible / But you make it possible")
Song : Ray Laurél - MANIC PIXIE DREAM BOY
you dare daredevil / tattoos right up your neck
crying to death grips / so unapologetic !
oh, how i miss you / in all your toxic ways
guess you were never / gonna be my baby !
he want the noise, he want the noise
my manic pixie dream boy !
so manic pixie dream boy/girl is actually one way people describe BPD. a person with BPD can sometimes be your everything. they're bubbly, exotic, happy, yet there's a huge stage of trauma behind them and when the storm comes, the storm comes tenfold. in the ups of someone with BPD, we tend to frame ourselves to be whatever we think someone else wants. dallas is no exception to that rule and can come off as manic pixie dreamie in certain circumstances! he's extremely toxic when the curtains go dark and impulsive, as the song lyrics suggest.
alternatively, i feel like this lyric portion could be how he views people himself. he gets into toxic relationships and they usually end up leaving sdoghgdg.
@ NP: Bad guy // Billie Ellish (I went with the first song to come on a radio playlist I'm laughing.)
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
i think this definitely fits ritz. the song definitely feels metaphorical, but in a more literal sense, his escape from the brutal facility he was raised in opened a lot of those freedoms to him, despite him being afraid of them at first. he found a much better life after meeting his girlfriend

typical story - hobo johnson (small verse, but i really like it)
i'm afraid of everything, staying the same or worsening,
so what's the point of finding calm, when calm to me is unsettling?
settle down, little kid, your bones are shaking in your skin,
GO AND TRY TO TAKE A BREATH, THOUGH NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS!
her, just her. she lives in the war timeline when she was a human before becoming an immortal and one of the 8 (I have to explain this part in bio or something). in wartime, she tries her best to protect her brother from everything in the war field

My sense of values ran off in the 2:30 AM train
and the bystanders express their disgust while pretending to avert their eyes
Hey, how's it going? Do you want to die?
I won't stop you
With such a terrible world, of course you'd throw yourself onto the rails
Generalizing is so good.
But tolerance towards fetishim, so bad.
The reason you want to hide that, is because you all have those
Ah, right. Am I going to break?
I was drunk with my own unhappiness
My heart won't calm down
I want to be killed in flashbacks
Hey, it hurts, I want to disappear right now
Let me hear your boos
So don't hit just my head
I'll break
I want to die, look, I want to die, if it's going to hurt this much
I want to die, I really want to die
And yet
I can't die, I can't die, I can't die
My body just freezes up and doesn't move an inch
Do I want to live? Do I want to die? My skin screams out
At the very least, let me scream too
After I threw it up, it dissolved, |
all that I ate today |
the reason why I am like I am |
I want to throw up and savor |
Only the smell of my gastric acids remains |
the proof I'm alive |
My suicidal way of thinking |
I want to die, I really want to die |
I want to prove to myself that way |
that huh, I really had been alive |
"Huh, I really had been alive" |
I felt I already heard them in some song-- |
Thoughts on death and hopes and weaknesses and whatever else, all of those |
They're just someone's self-conceit, right? |
Or so I say, |
just singing by myself here |
Like a mutt |
I don't want you to cry for me |
Somehow, my body is ready to die now too |
Hey, your face seems much happier than mine |
If you dare mourn me, I'll want to kill you |
It's your fault |
I want to die, I want to die, I want to die |
My body and heart do nothing but come apart |
I want to live (die), I want to live (die)[1], I'm screaming, look |
To think that I am this beautiful! |
Those values of mine that scattered away |
have no trace of ever being dyed in deep red |
It's not as if you had killed me, |
but I hope you do me a favor and feel guilty regardless |
The normalcy you speak of |
is the beginning of my death |
The good deeds you do |
are the beginning of my death |
The affection you suck up |
is the beginning of my death |
The prostitution you loved |
is the beginning of my death |
Te lu la li la |
Ta lu |
La tu lu la ta lu |
Te lo la li la |
Te lo |
Te la li lu la |
there are parts that sort of remind me of how brandy often feels - at least from my interpretation of the song (from what i'm interpreting it as, it's about questioning morality, the reason why people live and if certain emotions have meaning which is what brandy does with love)

good news - mac miller Good news, good news, good news That's all they wanna hear No, they don't like it when I'm down But when I'm flying, oh, it make 'em so uncomfortable So different, what's the difference? | under you - foo fighters I woke up and walked a million miles today I've been looking up and down for you All this time, it still feels just like yesterday That I walked a million miles with you Over it Think I'm getting over it There's no getting over it | ragged wood - fleet foxes The world is alive now, in and outside our home You run through the forest, settle before the sun Darling, I can barely remember you beside me You should come back home, back on your own now |
