#picked paramore but it’s really an mcr/paramore toss up

[thefigureinthecorner]

mark/oliver/alex (aka same trauma trio) playlist is doneee

this playlist and this ship are both my pride and joy tbh

notes under the cut

fast in my car- paramore: this song. illegal.

Been through the ringer a couple times

I came out callous and cruel

And my two friends know this very well

Because they went through it too

The three of us were initiates

We had to learn how to deal

And when we spotted a second chance

We had to learn how to steal

burn bright- mcr: i just love this song a lot for them? i feel like it has more alex vibes than anything really but like. it’s all three of them

we remain- christina aguilera: they’re all traumatized as fuck and like i love the idea that they’d be able to take comfort in all having survived that and like, power through together. like, i know alex’s situation isn’t quite the same but he was still kidnapped and experimented on so i’m counting that. anyway there’s a difference between being with someone who sympathizes with your trauma and someone who understands it because they’ve been through the same thing and i want all three of them to have people who will understand instead of pity them i guess

all this to say: song good. i don’t even necessarily know if all of that is relevant to this song but “whatever happens here, we remain” is a v good line for them

six- sleeping at last: the notes for the previous song apply here too tbh

Is it courage or faith

To show up every day?

To trust that there will be light

Always waiting behind

Even the darkest of nights

And no matter what

Somehow we'll be okay

Don't be afraid

as it was- hozier: i’m sure i had a good reason for adding this when i first did but i can’t remember it now, i’ll edit this if i remember lmao

BUT “The love, the dark, the light, the flame” is a good line for them

small hands- radical face: yknow what. i’m adding like 75% of the lyrics to this post bc they’re all good and i can’t choose just one verse because FUCK

If you need come build your home in me

And you know I won't complain

And I can't fix what was done to you

But I'll shield you from the rain

And if the walls they build become too high

Then step up on my back and climb

'Cause I never mind

No matter the day or time

I never mind

And all the angers that they hid inside your chest

We will unravel all of the chains

And toss the remnants all down the drain

And all my hands are much too small to hold you up

I will be there to pick up the pieces

And keep you housed while you bend them up

And if you wind up in the dark again

Just turn and call my name

And if the fire in your chest comes out

Well I'll hold you all the same

And if you need to take this out on me

Well you know I won't complain

no plans- jason mraz: i just wanted them to have one (1) soft song and this felt like it fit them

i and love and you- the avett brothers: the idea of love being difficult for them is just. yeah

like specifically alex has spent so much of his life being terrified of burning the people he cares about, but also oliver has so much trouble handling strong emotions and mark has issues with his own self-worth i think and like. aaaaa

Ah Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in

Are you aware the shape I'm in?

My hands they shake, my head it spins

Ah Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in

Three words that became hard to say

I and love and you

What you were then I am today

Look at the things I do

loving you- seafret: hi. i’m sad

This is bound to leave a mark

But I'll be proud to wear the scars

They tell a rich tale of disaster

About a love and what came after

I'll be frozen like a storm

Think we should take the long way home
