Home (Official Lyric Video)

Won't you tie me to the bow of your sweet vessel

Cause all alone I'd surely drown

And I can barely tread above this darkness

Let me land on solid ground

Cause I've been dreaming of horizons

I've been longing for a home

Darling help me let the light in

Like the one I used to know

If you're the lantern shining in the midnight

I'm the wind that's at your door

And if the darkness swells up high between us

I will steer us back to shore

Cause I've been dreaming of horizons

I've been longing for a home

Darling help me let the light in

Like the one I used to know

And if we die girl, then we'll die together

Another ship lost to the storm

An iron anchor no one will remember 

Hand in hand forever more.

～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～♪ ～*～

[camthecatchameleon]

So carry me from these walls, brother of mine, Show me the world outside. It has to be true, I'm counting on you To be my wings and my eyes.

Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #4, Fish Inside a Birdcage (2022)

Image ID:

First image - A messy, sketchy quality drawing of Ol' Jericho Sticks from Legends of Avantris: Edge of Midnight. Well, technically this is Virgil in Jericho's body. He stands at the far left side of the canvas, with his back to the camera and his head turned over his shoulder to stare a beady four-pointed eye at the audience. Their arms hang loosely at their sides. Four massive black wings sprout from Jericho/Virgil's shoulderblades and from below his "ribcage," the two farther from the camera extending over the rest of the canvas. The two in proximity to the camera curve over Jericho/Virgil's body, obscuring parts of them, and framing emphasis around their eye. Seven orange eyes with four-pointed star pupils, drawn even more messily than the figure, float in space and stare out at the audience from between the feathers of the extended wings. Scribbles in jagged strokes frame the piece and reach towards the figure. The whole piece is in a duotone greyish/orange color scheme. Words, the lyrics to Fish in a Birdcage's Rule #4 - Fish Inside a Birdcage, are written messily, following the contours of the eyes and the wings. The words write: "YOU GAVE ME MORE THAN I COULD ASK FOR... INDISTINGUISHABILITY"

Second Image - A zoomed in version of the first image, to give a more detailed view of Jericho/Virgil's face and body. Only the figure, the two closest wings, and a quarter of the other two wings are shown. No words are in view, but two of the eyes are visible.

[ID in alt text]

Sometimes I fall to pieces

Just to see what bits of me don’t fit

‘Cause when I stand, oh all those folks will run

And tell the tales of what I’ve become

They’ll speak of me in whispered tones

And say my name like it shakes their bones

See now everything you’ve said on your reblog of goth Terry will be stuck in my head for hours lmao

I can so clearly picture Nicholas coming out for a moment the *second* Nick sees Grant and Lark ruined their suits before prom. He’d be SO mad, just aggressively prestidigitationing their asses

LOL dude that's equivalent exchange for somehow worsening my kiddads brainrot- the way you characterize them drives me wild actually like. You fucking get it!!! And thank you I'm always flattered to get told that I've received a good grade in tumblr tags, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

AND STOP THAT'S REALLY CUTE aw dude of course he's still goody-goody little Nicolas underneath- I'm imagining that like he tries to keep a lid on it and calmly ask them what happened but with each detail they add (because whatever it was, it definitely wasn't reasonable) he gets closer and closer to blowing his fuse lmaoo

RATHER BE IN HELL THAN ALONE

@usergif 1 year celebration: shuffle challenge day 3: blending | typography | blorbo

[Image Description: A gifset of Hope Mikaelson from Legacies paralled with lyrics from SZAs “Kill Bill.”

Gif 1: Hope and Landon press their foreheads together. This is blended with a gif where Hope uses her tribrid blood to kill him, and therefore kill Malivore. The lyrics read, “I just killed my ex.”

Gif 2: No-humanity Hope licks blood from her fingers. The lyrics read, “Not the best idea.”

Gif 3: Hope and Lizzie hold hands. This is blended with a gif where Lizzie lays dead on the floor with a broken neck. The lyrics read, “Killed my girlfriend next.” The original lyrics say “Killed his girlfriend next,” but “his” is marked out to insert “my.”

Gif 4: Hope wakes up on the ground right after turning her humanity back on. The lyrics read, “How’d I get here?” End ID.]

you have your way of looking at it. with the egg. and it's a great analogy!

thanks.

for me, though, i don't see an egg. i see... a chrysalis.

oh?

yeah... y'know, i wonder if caterpillars know how beautiful they'll become. and i wonder if that'd make metamorphosis any less scary.

hm.

well, at least for me, i know how beautiful i'll become. or... at least i'm told. everybody i've met has told me that i'll go on to live an incredibly happy, fulfilling, successful life. a beautiful life.

there's a reason for that, y'know!

well, golly! but that's not important. the point is that i'm a caterpillar on the verge of metamorphosis and everyone around me is telling me how beautiful i'm gonna be.

isn't that a good thing?

yeah, kinda. it's also really scary!

how?

well... i've done well so far in life. i've been relatively happy and fulfilled and successful. my life has been pretty beautiful so far.

mhm.

but y'know... i'm a four-leaf clover. how do i know that wasn't just... a fluke? a big lucky break? how do i know that once i exit that chrysalis i'll actually be as beautiful as everyone thinks i'll be?

hm...

i can't keep banking on that forever. and now, like everyone our age, i have to start making that chrysalis. i guess i'm just worried that my lucky streak will end and my life will go down the drain. no more beautiful butterfly.

...

what makes you think it's all luck?

well, i... well, you know it has some factor in this.

well, sure. but you've had control over your life too. and so have other people. you shouldn't call yourself "lucky" that i decided to be your friend - it was my decision based on my own thoughts and emotions. and the way you are, how nice you are to be around - that's based on your own thoughts and emotions.

i guess...

...

listen. i'm not going to say that every success you've had is one you've built from scratch. everyone starts with something - heck, you started with a lot! but that alone will never get you the whole way there. to like... genuine, meaningful success.

what about all those super rich people who're only rich because of their super rich parents? they started with a lot and they got the whole way there with just that.

yeah, they're successful, but you can't seriously tell me that their success is meaningful.

i suppose not.

you can't make friends with luck. even if literally every other good thing you've done is because of dumb luck... the fact that so many people love you and love to hang out with you is proof that you're a genuinely good person.

...

hey, i never said i wasn't a genuinely good person.

well it comes with the territory. i should know... and y'know, it is really hard to admit to yourself that you are a good person who deserves all of the success they have. but it's important. i think we all should say it more. so it... so it doesn't have to be something to admit. i don't think it should be a secret.

...

so...?

so what?

so spit it out, then, you goofball! say you're a good person.

well, i... well goodness, now i'm just proving my point.

say it!

only if you do!

fine.

...

i'm... i'm a good person.

...

me too.

hey, that doesn't count, you actually have to say the words.

what words?

"i'm a good person".

ha, you said it again!

...clover.

...

...

clover. i'm not going to force you to say that you're a good person. i'm not going to force you to believe in yourself or anything. but i want you to, because i want you to be happy.

...

...

and i want... i want you to want you to be happy. it shouldn't matter whether or not i want that.

...

...

you don't owe it to anyone else to live a good life... you owe it to yourself. and i know you don't believe me. don't tell me i'm lying because i know, trust me, i might as well be.

...

...fan...

and i guess sometimes you just have to tell that lie to yourself over and over and over again. i know it feels wrong to tell the world that you love the person you are because it feels like a lie. but you know everyone else already believes it. you just have to lie to yourself enough that you start to believe it too.

...heh, and just be delusional?

yeah. delusional. but by the time you believe it along with the rest of the world, you'll forget that it was ever a lie to begin with!

i suppose so.

...

...

...

...so, clover, do you think you'll turn into that beautiful butterfly?

no.

no?

i'll be a moth.

sisterforsaken: 💿 (from severen’s playlist please 👀)

Empire of Fuzz- KINGS OF HONG KONG

She had shown him her idea of fun, fancy parties, subterfuge, weaving through the crowd, toying with the prey, making it love her, making it sacrifice itself willingly.

He had decided to show her his idea of fun. 

An old dive bar, a jukebox in the corner that didn’t know anything newer than vinyl from the 1980’s. The clientele was just as deadly as they were, but only in the capacity that humans could have. They were much more than human.

It began with catcalls and picked fights, a jostle here, a snide remark there. Heating up the blood. When it boiled over, it was spilt.  And as Severen ran the knife along his tongue, some began to panic about being next.  That was when Mary showed her own cards. Crimson blooms blocked the exits, bursting upon those that fled toward them.  Some mistook her femininity for mercy. They were the first felled. She feeds just as greedily as he, his maw already gorey. Not a single patron knew what hit them, not a one would survive to tell the tale.  When all was death, but the devil’s who relished in it, they shared mirthful delight in their bout of excess.   To admit how much fun she had would give Severen too much credit; perish the thought of bolstering his pride. She demurs any insistences that she enjoyed this night over others. His ego is hardly quashed despite his sneer, leave her to her high falutin leanings. Eventually they leave. In their wake lies a burning charnel house. A hell to itself. Its maker’s returned to the night.

△ do you think Orin actually cares about you?

it's invasive questions o'clock! ask and audrey will rate their discomfort and answer them

"...Seven outta ten. It's—" She purses her lips, the fingers of one hand worrying at the back of the other. The way the question is asked hurts — as if it's obvious he doesn't, as if it's obvious Audrey isn't worth caring about. It sparks a reflexive need to defend her relationship. "It's complicated. He likes me, sure. Why else would he make me his girl? And I matter to him, 'cause I know he'd be mad if I left him. But does he care about me? ... I think he cares about me like somebody cares about a thing, not another person. He cares if I'm there, not if I'm happy." Her voice grows quieter and quieter as the murmurs a small refrain of comfort, something she's told herself over and over again to make Orin's behavior hurt less. "I think that's the only way he knows how to care. It's how he is. And if that's all he has, and it's what he gives me, then he loves me as much as he can. Some people just love wrong..."

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!

[everydaylouie]

had an idea for a barbershop quartet Hatsune Miku ballad.........

(lyrics below the cut!)

i have a voice

i’ll sing your tune

sing about the sun and stars and moon

but in the end

it’s up to you 

i sing your song

and that’s all that i ever do

every note

is made by you

what’s a blue haired, pigtailed girl to do

in the end

i make no sound

oh the songs i’d sing if you were not around!

i sing your song

all night long

never wrong

but i just sing along…

the tune is done

and I’m a star

i feel so close and yet so very far

in the end

it’s up to you

i sing your song

and that’s all I ever do
