Babylonne Kidrouk: firestarter, instigator
Sometimes my brain worries me.
So, I generally have some bizarre commentary running through my head whenever I'm walking, and this commentary usually has a soundtrack. Without any warning, as I was walking to my German class this morning, the Heidelberg cobblestones brought to my mind the most vivid image: Babylonne Kidrouk, the protagonist of Pagan's Daughter, rushing through the streets of 13th-century Toulouse, wearing an iPod, playing 'Firestarter' by The Prodigy. Hey, don't blame me, I'm just a product of my Gen-Y remix culture!
You know how I do geeky things like make playlists for fictional characters? Yeah, guess what I did next...
1. 'Firestarter', The Prodigy. I'm a firestarter, punking instigator
2. 'Granite', Pendulum. You can hide your eyes, you can dim the lights/ But they are watching/ This is a new time, with a different kind/ They are the future/ The only one
3. 'Jackson's Last Stand', Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. It's all go, go, go, go/ It's time for things to get better/ It's time for things to move on/ Instead of this you row, row, row, row/ You're staying with me forever/ Cause this is, it's my last stand
4. 'Letters to Bowie Knife', Calexico. This world's an ungodly place/ Strangled by vines unchaste/ So with my shining blade of steel/ I would cut a path wide
5. 'The Tempest', Pendulum. While you are letting your guard down/ I will be letting myself go/ While you are running your ship aground/ I will be setting myself alight
6. 'Punching in a Dream', The Naked and Famous. Wait, I don't even want to be here/ Like punching in a dream/ Breathing life into a nightmare
7. 'Time To Burn', Storm. It's time to burn
8. 'Bullet', Covenant. Time is like a bullet from behind/ I run for cover, just like you/ Time is like a liquid in my hands/ I swim for dry land, just like you
9. 'Blinding', Florence+The Machine. No more dreaming like a girl, so alone, so in love with the wrong world
10. 'Watercolour', Pendulum. Pretty much all the lyrics, but especially All I believe/ and all I've known/ are being taken from me/ ... Take me home
Babylonne would totally listen to melodramatic dance music. And if not, she would listen to angsty 90s nu metal. You know it's true.

One of these days, I'm going to buy all those books for you and watch you flail.
