I'm sure I'm not the first to make this association. However, I just had a moment of like "Unconcious Mind Creative Manifestation"
Was editing an angsty post s2 breakup omens note and was trying to think of a working title.
Immediately thought "Do You Have to Let it Linger?"
No idea where that came from, but I was like wait isn't this a Cranberries lyric? Yes it was, so I looked it up and read the rest of the lyrics and omg!
'If you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade'
>>>>
'I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you...'
>>>>
'Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying a the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?'
AND
'Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong.'
LIKE?!? are you kidding me???
I love the Cranberries but until a few moments ago I could not have told you what they lyrics to this song were.
BUT APPARENTLY THE GOOD OMENS WORMS IN MY BRAIN KNEW?!
Like the lyrics perfectly reflect the state of mind Crowley has in the draft im working on?!?!
WAKE UP BRATS!!! A brand new song (Aziraphale-coded song AT THAT) just dropped!!
It's actually just a song for my "how to ruin a revelation" EP, but since Aziraphale and I share some certain experiences and parts od lore, I thought I'd share this one too. An addition to "let there be light", I suppose then. It's silly and very raw, and my knuckles do hurt, but I think the message is coming through.
I think I could call it.. "a waltz for the in betweeners"???? Maybe???
Coming back from hibernation to tell you about a song that reminds me so much of the ineffable husband during S2E6 it’s abysmal
It’s in my native language but it’s basically about someone begging their lover not to go since they knew each other for so long and they would go on their knees (the song title) for them to stay. This is SO CROWLEY CODED AHHHHH
The new album Lost in Love by Miyavi is so Good Omens coded
Miyavi's new album is so GO coded, you guys. Especially Tragedy of Us.
See my somewhat hinged examples from lyrics below the cut.
Intro:
Is it in the emotions we hide from
Is it in the emotions we mask
Is it in the emotions we bury
Broken Fantasy:
What if you put me in the grave?
What if you kiss me just to bring me back from the dead
And maybe I just like the pain
Your lips are vicious with the words that you never said
Eat Eat Eat:
Who am I tonight
Cause baby I might cross over that line
can’t go back to the light
a part of me is dying
the beast is ready inside
I’m gunna eat you alive
We Stay Up All Night:
ok this one is not all that them
Real Monster:
ok not this one so much either
Mirror Mirror:
All my life I’m fighting for you
Tell me, how can I hate you
Sorry, I won’t give up on you
No I won’t give up on you
…
And the walls are falling down, room’s caving, lost my face so numb
and there’s no one here to help, I’m breaking
Woah… all alone.
Dancing With the Dark:
When the devil is on my neck
he’s humming into my head
all my temptations
and I know it, know it, know it, know it
Tragedy of Us:
We’ve been dreaming maybe we could find a way
somehow, someday, but right now we’re still wide awake
Where's an angel when you need a miracle?
looking up but you never see the halo
but in the end we’re all alone
…
how can god just play with this little thing
like a little kid swinging on a swing
if he knew this hurt between you and me
he could never sleep with this pain
start the world over again
why is our love a tragedy
Last Breath:
I feel you watch me
I feel you deep under my skin
None of us talking
I still let our voices sink in
…
everything passes
time doesn’t wait for anyone
ashes to ashes
I see the things I could have done
Memories and regrets play just like movies in my brain
Breathing out unspoken words but silence screams instead.
Turtles All The Way Down the song does something to me
"and im aware / that its not fair / to bring you here then send you on your way / you had to much to say / and to ask / like "why am i not cut out for the task / of loving you forever / of holding you and never wanting less?""
"you're my favourite allegory"
"and i dont know if it makes it any easier / perhaps you'll find comfort when i say / you and i are nothing more than meteors / never meant to live long past today"
The change in "one more boring allegory" to "youre my favourite allegory" amd dont get me started on the perfect delivery of favourite ajahdjsdbsjks
"i'll watch you fall... Now watch me fall"
Like excuse me why did this song decide to take over my life and seep into every fibre of my ribcage just to infest my heart please let me breathe
Pls, I have found a song that is just so heartbreaking if you imagine it sang by Aziraphale to Crowley. Because the girl in that song IS so Crowley.
Just look a the lyrics...
She's imperfect but she tries (The baby is trying so hard to be who he really is)
She is good but she lies (I'm not nice, I'm never nice)
She is hard on herself (I won't be forgive, not ever, unforgivable, that's what I am)
She is broken and won't ask for help (Do I need to say anything? My heart is already aching)
She is messy but she's kind (Just Edimburgh... Just think of that)
She is lonely most of the time (Lonely? I'm a demon, I lied... please why are you crying?!??!)
She is all of this mixed up (BBY)
And baked in a beautiful pie (Aziraphale really like that pie)
She is gone but she used to be mine (I can't see what I'm writing through my tears)
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
(If this is not Aziraphale wishing to restart it all and do it properly this time, not to hurt my bby Crowley...)
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine
(Aziraphale, baby, everything is gonna be okay... she's still yours, you both just messed up a little, but you're gonna be fine, Cottage in the South Downs WHERE ARE YOU).
Also, I am bravely tagging @weirdly-specific-but-ok (hello, hope you see this, this maggot says HIIII), because I know how much you love Crowley and I need to drag you down with me with this song.
