The Other Side of Paradise (Glass Animals)

Bye bye baby blue/I wish you could see the wicked truth/Caught up in a rush, it's killing you/Screaming at the sun, you blow into/Curled up in a grip when we were us/Fingers in a fist like you might run/I settle for a ghost I never knew/Superparadise I held on to

"It's just like. The angstiest of songs. If you listen to it you get it."

The Mind Electric (Miracle Musical)

See how the serfs work the ground (See how they fall)/And they give it all they've got/And they give it all they've got/And you give it all you've got 'til your down/See how the brain plays around/And you fall inside a hole you couldn't see/And you fall inside a hole inside a-/Someone help me

Understand what’s going on inside my mind/Doctor, I can’t tell if I’m not me

Nuns commence incanting as the lightning strikes mine temples thus/Electrifying mine chambers wholly, scorching out thine sovereignty so/Spiralling down thy majesty, I beg of thee have mercy on me/I was just a boy, you see! I plead of thee, have sympathy for me!

"The lyrics just hit hard with all of the imagery and shit, being used alongside the song glitching and a 3 minute long sequence (an un-glitched version of the song) that plays backwards in full before the song begins, conjure up a very interesting view/idea/image of losing your sanity. Plus, the song has a really interesting history in terms of its creation."

"first listen: "damn its weird that this has itself backwards haha" second listen: ⚡️⚡️🧠SEE HOW THE BRAIN PLAYS AROUND🌩😈AND YOU FALL INSIDE A HOLE YOU COULDNT SEE☁️⚡️AND YOU FALL INSIDE A HOLE INSIDE A🤴🗣SOMEONE HELP ME⛈️🪐UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON INSIDE MY MIND🗣⚡️DOCTOR I CANT TELL IF IM NOT ME!!!🌩🌩☄️ anyway, there are actually 2 versions of this song !! since the first half of the song is the second half backwards, but one of the halves has a series of artistic glitches and repeats and skips! the "distorted version", which is what youll find on spotify, has the glitchy half played forwards, and the "nondistorted version", which is what the official channel posted on youtube, is reversed so the unglitched half plays forwards! its a remaster of a previous song Joe Hawley worked on as a member of Tally Hall called "Inside the Mind of Simon", and it has TONS of little easter eggs and details scattered throughout. distorted speech from old movies, clips from old songs, theres this part where chanting voices sing "axon, dendrite" and "help me" over and over which (imo) you really only hear if you know to look for them, theres an intricate synth arpeggio throughout the entire climax of the song that im in love with— its the source of the synth tune in the next song on the album, Labyrinth (the funny "i am the mouse" song)! i have yet to find a blorbo i cant picture to it but considering that my main oc's theme is madness, its her perfect chance to star. in conclusion, your honor, I love the mind electric."

"it's a story of a man getting sentenced to an asylum for a murder he didn't commit, and there he is subjected to electroshock therapy. the synth alone fucked me up the first time I heard it. not to mention the awesome lyrics and various styles throughout the song. oh also the first 3ish minutes of the song are in reverse. so there's that."

"Somehow I feel like it's the story of my life. Also, the first half of the song is the second half of the song played in reverse."

This gives such Glassheart celebrity au vibes

Bye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush, it's killing you

Screaming at the sun, you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Superparadise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost

[judethebrood]

When Paris said "If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her. The emotional torture, from the head of your high table. She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate".

When Hozier said "When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down. I'll crawl home to her".

When Florence said "Then bow your head in the house of God. Little girl, who do you think you are? You think you need it, you think you want love. You wouldn't want it if you knew what it was".

When Lana said "Is it me, was I wrong to have trusted you? Did I see what I wanted, what wasn't true? Was I wrong to go on like a little fool? It's amazing what women in love will do".

When Marina said "Started in the strangest way. Didn't see it coming, swept up in your hurricane. Wouldn't give it up for nothing. Now I'm all caught up in the highs and the lows. It's a shock to my system. I don't wanna run away so I stay. My head gets messy when I try to hide the things I love about you in my mind. I don't really know a lot about love".

When Morrisey said "And if a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine".

When Stevie and Lindsey said "Love somebody save their soul. Tie them to your heaven erase their hell. Love their lifestyle if you feel it. Don't try to change them you never will. Sunflowers and your face fascinate me. You go into the dusty pink day. I come a calling unto you, but you run. You're the winner. Long distance winner. You're the winner. Long distance winner".

When Kate said "And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, and I'd get him to swap our places. Be runnin' up that road. Be runnin' up that hill. Be runnin' up that building. Say, if I only could".

When Joni said "The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in 68. And he told me, "All romantics meet the same fate. Some day, cynical and drunk and boring. Someone in some dark cafe" "You laugh", he said, "You think you're immune? Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon. You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies, pretty lies. When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies? Only pretty lies, just pretty lies".

When Bob said "She said, "Where ya been?" I said, "No place special" She said, "You look different." I said, "Well, I guess" She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural" She said, "You gonna stay?" I said, "If you want me to, yes".

When Mitski said "You're growing tired of me. You love me so hard and I still can't sleep. You're growing tired of me, and all the things I don't talk about. Sorry, I don't want your touch. It's not that I don't want you. Sorry, I can't take your touch. It's just that I fell in love with a war. Nobody told me it ended. And it left a pearl in my head, and I roll it around every night. Just to watch it glow. Every night, baby, that's where I go".

When Glass animals said "Bye bye baby blue. I wish you could see the wicked truth. Caught up in a rush, it's killing you. Screaming at the sun, you blow into. Curled up in a grip when we were us. Fingers in a fist like you might run. I settle for a ghost I never knew. Superparadise I held on to, but I settle for a ghost".

When the Killers said "They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet. You don't have to drink right now, but you can dip your feet, every once in a little while. You sit there in your heartache, waiting on some beautiful boy to. To save you from your old ways. You play forgiveness. Watch it now, here he comes. He doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but he talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when you were young. When you were young".

When Radiohead said "You are the sun and moon and stars are you. And I could never run away from you. You try at working out chaotic things. And why should I believe myself, not you? It's like the world is gonna end so soon. And why should I believe myself? You, me and everything, caught in the fire. I can see me drowning, caught in the fire. You, me and everything, caught in the fireI can see me drowning, caught in the fire".

Yeah. That.

Assigning the FFVII party all a Glass Animal song (mostly based off vibes) bc they're one of my favorite bands + one of my favorite game casts <3

Cloud "Needs Ibuprofen" Strife- Youth

“I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right”

Tifa "Just Wants Someone To Support HER For Once" Lockhart- Pools

“We float before the sea at dusk

In heavy mist, in glitter dust

I smile before I want to

I smile because you want to

We sip the wind through lips of lust

And out it comes, warm wisps of love

I smile because I want to

I smile because you want to"

Aerith "May Have A Folding Chair" Gainsborough- Helium

“My momma said their used to be white pyramids

They float above the sand they're slowly sinking in

Are our foundations destined to keep crumbling

Just 'cause we started this with zero innocence?”

Barret "Dad Of The Year" Wallace- Agnes

“Agnes, just stop and think a minute

Why don't you light that cigarette and

Calm down now stop and breathe a second

Go back to the very beginning

Can't you see what was different then?

You were just popping Percocet

Maybe just four a week at best

Maybe a smoke to clear the head”

Nanaki "Goodest Boy" aka Red XIII - Solar Power

“I hate the winter, can't stand the cold

I tend to cancel all the plans

But when the heat comes, something takes a hold

Can I kick it? Yeah, I can”

Cait "Just A Little Guy" Sith- Walla Walla

“I bet I can make you smile

In the pools of moonlight

Watch this little trick of mine

Say with me this tiny rhyme”

(Bonus) Reeve "Tumblr Sexyman Contender" Tuesti- Cocoa Hooves

“Come on you hermit

You never fight back

Why don't you play with bows and arrows?

Why don't you dance like

You're sick in your mind?

Why don't you set your wings on fire?”

Vincent "Barbie Girl Waist" Valentine- The Other Side of Paradise

“Bye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush, it's killing you

Screaming at the sun, you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Superparadise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost”

Cid "!&#%?^@" Highwind- Hot Sugar

“So cool but we don't talk

Hotels and alcohol

Pool paintings on the wall

Hot rubber on the tar”

[daisyv0dka]

"Bye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush, it's killing you

Screaming at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Superparadise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost"

[ryctone]

He's got a gold Camaro He said over the payphone I try to keep my cool but My life turns in slow motion.

Bye bye baby blue I wish you could see the wicked truth Caught up in a rush, it's killing you Screaming at the sun, you blow into Curled up in a grip when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Superparadise I held on to But I settle for a ghost.

[fusionnukacola]

same anon who asked for the companions favorite songs, could you do what songs fit the companions this time? thanks again <333

Of course anon! I love asks like these. I'm super tired so I'll list the lyrics and songs, not explanations for now. Sorry :(

Cait: Cinderella Man by Eminem

"There's a storm comin' that the weatherman couldn't predict I start to bug, prick, you better flee, 'cause I get ticked It's a wrap, I was down, when I was down I was kicked I got up, I'm back to punch you to the ground, you're tricked"

Curie: Fourth Of July by Sufjan Stevens

"Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head Was it all a disguise, like Junior High Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction Now, where am I? My fading supply

Did you get enough love, my little dove Why do you cry?"

Paladin Danse: My Body Is A Cage by Arcade Fire

"I'm standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It's a hollow play But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age That calls darkness light Though my language is dead Still the shapes fill my head"

Deacon: Freaks by Surf Curse

"My head is filled with parasites Black holes cover up my eyes I dream of you almost every night Hopefully, I won't wake up this time"

Desdemona: The President Has A Sex Tape by K.Flay

"The president has a sex tape The oceans all dried up The devil got the dealer The dealer got the dollar Don't tell me I can live off love The president has a sex tape Your daughters aren't safe at night I got a feeling that my body is owned A feeling that my body ain't mine"

Hancock: The Other Side Of Paradise by Glass Animals

"Bye bye baby blue I wish you could see the wicked truth Caught up in a rush, it's killing you Screaming at the sun, you blow into Curled up in a grip when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Superparadise I held on to But I settle for a ghost"

MacCready: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free I know I can't slow down I can't hold back Though you know I wish I could Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good"

Nick Valentine: Time Waits For No One by Freddie Mercury

"Time waits for no one We've got to build this world together Or we'll have no more future at all Because time It waits for nobody Nobody

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong You know what's going on And it seems to me we've not cared enough Or confided in each other at all It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for nobody Time waits for no one We've got to trust one another Or we'd have no more future at all"

Piper: Cigarette Daydreams by Cage The Elephant

"You can drive all night Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain You wanna find peace of mind Lookin' for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday As I recall, you were lookin' out of place Gathered up your things and slipped away No time at all, I followed you into the hall Cigarette daydream You were only seventeen Soft speak with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees"

Preston Garvey: ...History Has Its Eyes On You.... from Hamilton..

"I was younger than you are now When I was given my first command I led my men straight into a massacre I witnessed their deaths firsthand I made every mistake and felt the shame rise in me And even now I lie awake, knowing history has its eyes on me History has its eyes on me"

X6-88: Oh No! By MARINA

"I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

One track mind, one track heart If I fail, I'll fall apart Maybe it is all a test 'Cause, I feel like I'm the worst So I always act like I'm the best"

Elder Maxson: Viva La Vida by Coldplay. I can't help myself

"It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn’t believe what I’d become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king?"

[virtueofsanityx]

where: a cozy lil honeymoon home with: @superparadise (graham)

donny wasn't sure what the humans were always on about when they said that the honeymoon phase never lasted. he was well into his first century of his honeymoon and was still very much enjoying himself, his husband, his trip around the mortal realm. it helped that there was always so much movement in this place, changing of times, technology, idealogy. it was a historian's wet dream, and the countless journals lined up on donny's bookshelf, cateloguing the changes and progression, was a testament to that.

he'd been up late, writing in one, and when he'd finally noticed the sun peeking up over the horizon, that was when he'd slipped out and down to that cute little bakery, grabbing breakfast, before slipping right back into the house and into bed with graham, hovering the delicate pastry under his nose and pressing a kiss to his cheek. "wake up, sleepy head. i got a little tart for my favorite little tart."

[rcsplendent]

🎵 + santi & his (ex) wife bc i wanna cry a lil

1) a song that makes me think of them :

lover, you should've come over by jeff buckley ( my favorite song ever first of all. secondly ... listen. the yearning. the pain. the mourning of what could've been. the shame he feels. the regret. ugh ! ) " sometimes a man gets carried away when he feels like should be having his fun much too blind to see the damage he's done sometimes a man must awake to find that, really he has no one — so i'll wait for you, love, and i'll burn will i ever see your sweet return? oh, will i ever learn? " 

2) a song i think would play in the background of a love scene :

i think i love you again by aaron taylor ( i have a headcanon that santiago was so deeply in love w his wife but things started getting tense towards the end when he had to decide between his family or the throne. she begged him to stay, and he always admonished her for not understanding the situation. but in the end he always realized that he loved her, and that he wanted to stay. that is, until his superior general threatened to hurt his family ... ) " there are times that i think that i've had enough and i feel that i think that maybe i'm done no matter how hard i try i just can't walk away so i think that i think that i'm here to stay ... i think i love you again "

3) a song that would make my muse think of yours :

saw you in a dream by the japanese house ( my second favorite song, first of all. just. c'monnnnn. santi dreams about her every night. sometimes the dream is particularly vivid & he can barely drag himself out of bed the next day. GOD my heart hurts. and the line ' it isn't the same but it is enough ' is just so him ??? he's resigned himself to never seeing her again so he'll take what he can get. ) " i saw you in a dream you had stayed the same you were beckoning me said that i had changed tried to keep my eyes closed i want you so bad then i awoke and it was so sad  when i'm awake, i can't switch off it isn't the same but it is enough "

4) a song i think would play during an action sequence :

the other side of paradise by glass animals ( this is the song that played the night he left thanks g'bye. cinematic montage of him frantically packing his things & kissing his wife while she slept, and then baby angel on the forehead, leaving a locket beside him in the crib & bolting out the door. also the line ' bye bye baby blue ' ... him leaving a son behind ... i could cry rn. in my head this song is from his wife's perspective — the terror she felt when she realized he left for good. ) " bye, bye, baby blue i wish you could see the wicked truth caught up in a rush, it's killing you screaming at the sun you blow into curled up in a grip when we were us fingers in a fist like you might run i settle for a ghost i never knew superparadise i held on to but i settle for a ghost "

5) a song our muses would dance to :

every day will be like a holiday by tess henley ( them slow-dancing in their tiny cottage on their first christmas as family, while their baby naps, santiago whispering that he wants to move them to the country & never come back ... ) " everyday will be like a holiday when my baby, when my baby comes home now she's been gone for such a long time ever since she's been gone, she been on my mind i got a letter today, just about noon she said, ' don't worry, i'll be home soon '  "

[fuck-you-upmusicbracket]

The Other Side of Paradise (Glass Animals)

Bye bye baby blue/I wish you could see the wicked truth/Caught up in a rush, it's killing you/Screaming at the sun, you blow into/Curled up in a grip when we were us/Fingers in a fist like you might run/I settle for a ghost I never knew/Superparadise I held on to

"It's just like. The angstiest of songs. If you litsen to it you get it."

Run Boy Run (WoodKid)

Tomorrow is another day/And you won't have to hide away/You'll be a man, boy/But for now it's time to run, it's time to run!

"I just love the way the long, swooping lyrics are contrasted with a lot of short, quick, frantic percussion instrumentation. The strings and wind instruments also compliment/contrast the other parts of the song well by either accompanying the vocals or replacing them during the instrumental sections."

[fratboycipher]

i am so curious, what lyric were you mishearing in the other side of paradise??

heard: Caught up in a rush, it's killing you Dreaming of the sun you go into Curled up in a crypt when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Slip of paradise I held on to

actual lyrics: Caught up in a rush, it's killing you Screaming at the sun, you blow into Curled up in a grip when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Superparadise I held on to

can you tell i have auditory processing disorder yet. anyway still one of my top songs

[thessdrawsstuff]

Bye bye baby blue I wish you could see the wicked truth Caught up in a rush, it's killing you Screaming at the sun, you blow into Curled up in a grip when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Superparadise I held on to But I settle for a ghost

-The other side of Paradise by Glass Animals

Another thing featuring Dusk from the rp server they're in. They got the chest scar from a run-in with Octavio (long story) and they're kinda fucked up physically and mentally from that

also i listened to the other side of paradise and i activated

The cracked screen texture is from hide_pau on twitter (look in the notes for the post)

Justice Lord Superman & Lois | Superparadise I held on to

"Clark Kent is dead, Superman killed him." 

 Thinking about doing a justice lord + snyderverse au clois+clex for so long! And I DID IT! It was painful to make manips but it's done. 

This is for Kate, we had so much for trashing the justice lords comic for all its wasted potentials. 

 The basic plot is JLU justice lords + bvs clois combining, at first it's like the JLU plot lois is held prisoner, then she escaped, become the leader of the rebels of the justice lord world, then she drove the kryptonite spear into superman's heart herself, and then bury him as clark kent.
