Battle of the Fear Bands B3R1: The Flesh
Cryptid:
“A song about somebody who hates their body so much they’d rather be something other than human? Yeah I am absolutely submitting this.”
The Red Means I Love You:
“Flesh Love!”
Lyrics below the line!
Cryptid:
Do you ever wonder why I
Only show up in blurry photographs?
Why I feel I have to hide
When other's perceptions give me panic attacks?
So when I am out, I'm out behind trees
I'll hide in the forest where I can be free
Maybe to you, it sounds a little strange
But maybe I can't be a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
Maybe I wanna be a cryptid
Maybe I don't want to exist in this world
When everyone's comments turn into scars
And everyone lies and says, "Be who you are"
What if I wanna be a cryptid?
Maybe my ideal body is Bigfoot's
Do you think that I'd still hate my body
If I grew wings and disappeared into the sky?
I don't think anybody's words would matter
When I can swoop down and kill them from 30 feet high
So when I feel sad, I'll screech in the night
Confuse all my neighbors or give them a fright
Then wonder why they think I'm a little strange
Maybe I can't be a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
Maybe I wanna be a cryptid, maybe I don't want to exist in this world
When everyone's comments turn into scars
And everyone lies and says, "Be who you are"
What if I wanna be a cryptid?
Maybe my ideal body is Mothman's
Lately, I've been putting the 'cry' in cyptid
Wishing I could melt into swamps
Beady red eyes can't see beauty standards
And stealing someone's skin would hide all my flaws
Maybe I can't be a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
Maybe I wanna be a cryptid, maybe I don't want to exist in this world
When everyone's comments turn into scars
And everyone lies and says, "Be who you are"
What if I wanna be a cryptid?
Maybe my ideal body is Mothman's
The Red Means I Love You:
Unusual
They say strange fascination, infatuation
A lunatic
Call me what suits your taste, I just wanna taste
And I've always heard it's what's inside that counts
'Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
Unfortunate
They say such a shame, I turned out this way
A maniac
Well, yeah, I get manic when I cause a panic
And of course, I'm excited when I see you around
'Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
You leave me high and dry
A rush comes to my mind at the drops
Of blood you leave behind
Run as you might, my love will never, ever
Stop
And I've always heard it's what's inside
'Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you

This mini was fun! This is “Cryptid (Mothman)” by Ratwyfe as I see it because of synesthesia!

Anyone know Ratwyfe? Who am I kidding this is tumblr ofc you do. Her album mushroom melancholia is my life. A series of lesbian mistakes leading to regret, sulking, desperation which leads to the same mistakes and then the cycle starts again.

Being stuck in the water tends to drain me
When did my toes and fingers get so wrinkly?
I don't know how long I've been like this
But if I drowned, would I be missed?
I'll just towel off and tell the world I'm good
Lyrics from “Underwater World” by Ratwyfe

In a year or two they’ll tell tales of my presence
A pair of red eyes, a chill so unpleasant
These days I feel like a face in the mist
Trying to show myself I still exist

I had a dream that Ratwyfe was coming to play at the local venue and I'm so sad now

I don't belong here, it's clear to see
I'm disappointing everyone who
Believed in me
I'm not who you think I am, you think I'm so amazing
But I don't deserve to live the life that I am chasing
