Chronicles of You - Ikemen Revolution Lancelot Kingsley’s playlist 🌹

Note: After 1.5 years of making countless changes to the playlist, I think I’m confident enough to post it now. It was meant to go public on his birthday this year, but better late than never, amirite? Lol

A character study is what I wish to convey in this playlist, diving deep into the nuances of his personality and traits that made Lancelot who he was. It captures his internal struggles to do what is right without putting lives in danger. It provides a genuine insight into his mind: how he thinks of the Magic Tower, and how he made himself believe that he had lost his humanity and turned into some kind of a “villain”. It shows how confused he was with his emotions when Alice slowly worms her way into his heart, and how he tried to push her away to protect her. The last six songs focused on how he is like in both endings, event stories, etc. when he’s learning to be “alive” again.

I highly recommend you listen to the playlist in order while digesting the lyrics of each song. I have provided a YouTube link for non-Spotify users.

TRACKLIST:

Man or a Monster by Sam Tinnesz (feat. Zayde Wølf)

When you close your eyes, what do you see?

Do you hold the light or is darkness underneath?

In your hands, there's a touch that can heal

But in those same hands, is the power to kill

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

But there's still rage inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?

No one would ever change this animal I have become

Blood // Water by Grandson*

We'll never get free

Lamb to the slaughter

What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?

The price of your greed, your son and your daughter

What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?

*for the Magic Tower

Stomp Me Out by Bryce Fox

You can't stomp me out

You know you can't even slow me down

You know I spread this wild around

So if you're sure, you better shoot me now

[...]

If you find a change of heart

I might forgive you (I might forgive you)

But if you keep running that mouth

It just might kill you (Just might kill you)

Seven Devils by Florence + The Machine

Holy water cannot help you now

See, I've come to burn your kingdom down

And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out

I'm gonna raise the stakes

I'm gonna smoke you out

Autoclave by The Mountain Goats

I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam

And no one in her right mind would make my home her home

My heart's an autoclave

[...]

When I try to open up to you, I get completely lost

Houses swallowed by the earth, windows thick with frost

And I reach deep down within, but the pathways twist and turn

And there's no light anywhere, and nothing left to burn

Moondust by Jaymes Young

Nothing can breathe, in the space

Colder than, the darkest sea

I have dreams about the days

Driving through your sunset breeze

But the first thing that I will do

Is bury my love for you

Goodbye My Love by Fox Academy

Goodbye my love

I wish things were different

Don't spend your time

With someone that doesn't deserve it

The Dark Side by Muse

I have lived in darkness

For all my life, I've been pursued

You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain

And if you could see the things I am able to see

[...]

I hail from the dark side

For all my life, I've been besieged

You'd be scared living with my despair

And if you could feel the things, I am able to feel

Fallen Angel by Zaradiah

They don't like when you go against their way

Learn your strength and watch as you become the prey

Born from pain, fueled by fear, you see it clear as day

It's a game of cat and mouse I refuse to play

Break the chains

I changed my fate

Accept the stains

That I left behind

My Life For Hire by A Day to Remember

Somebody give me a sign that everything's going as planned

And then everything falls away into the darkness of this shallow place

The detail is striking, the room's cold and frightening

You'll kick and you'll scream, you'll try everything to survive

But you should know your fate by now

[...]

But I swear I'll be the one

To let the world know what you've done to me

Headstrong by Trapt

Now I see the truth, I got a doubt

A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out

[...]

I see your fantasy

You wanna make it a reality paved in gold

See inside, inside of our heads, yeah

Well, now that's over

Let It Breathe by Water Liars

There's a room inside my heart that no one ever goes

It's been boarded up and locked for years and everything is gone

Then you come along and cut yourself a key

Swept the floors and opened a window, said ‘baby let it breathe’

Golden by Harry Styles

Golden, golden, golden

As I open my eyes

Hold it, focus, hoping

Take me back to the light

I know you were way too bright for me

[...]

I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold)

I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control)

Of who I am and all I've ever known

Loving you's the antidote

Indigo Puff by Sundara Karma

I feel the light surrounding me

I'm open now and feeling free

[...]

I see the sound land on my skin

A passion moves me from within

[...]

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one

In my heart, in my bones and in my soul

You're the one who keeps me on my own
