I couldn't resist

[dolorosa_12]

wehappyfew indirectly gave me the idea to redo the music lyrics meme with pairings instead of characters. I had so much fun the last time that I jumped at the chance.

Choose fifteen characters pairings. Then put your playlist/music library on shuffle. Your first song with lyrics is your first character pairing, and so on. For each song, choose lyrics that resonate with the corresponding character pairing.

1. Nick Ryves/Mae Crawford (The Demon's Lexicon trilogy)
2. Allan 'Allyman' Manne/'Presh'|Wai-Chan (Galax-Arena)
3. Isidore Orbus/Babylonne Kidrouk (Pagan's Daughter)
4. Marcus Novius Faustus Leo/Noviana Una (Romanitas trilogy)
5. Anji/Mai (Crossroads trilogy)
6. Willow Rosenberg/Tara Maclay (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
7. Mario Ferrone/Elaine Taylor (Space Demons trilogy)
8. Emily Fields/Maya St. Germain (Pretty Little Liars - TV series not books)
9. Asterion/Noah (The Troy Game series)
10. Arcturus Mesarthim/Paige Mahoney (The Bone Season)
11. John Connor/Cameron Phillips (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)
12. Ichabod Crane/Katrina Crane/Abbie Mills (Sleepy Hollow - TV series)
13. Nahadoth/Yeine Darr (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms)
14. Scott McCall/Allison Argent (Teen Wolf)
15. Will Parry/Lyra Silvertongue (His Dark Materials)


1. 'Sinking Friendships', Jónsi
My lips are pale blue
My shivering half-moon
My last night's lost tune
It's the end of the end of the end

No one knows you, till it's over
You know no one true, till it's over

2. 'Kill Myself', Aqua
If I could only survive without you
There's nothing in this world that I couldn't do
Please don't misunderstand me when I say

I will kill myself if I had to to to
'Cause I wanna waste my life on you

3. '24 Hours', The Sounds
Would I lie to you?
I've never had a reason to

Take your time, I'm not in a hurry
If you go, I will always follow

4. 'All This and Heaven Too', Florence + The Machine
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures

5. 'Girls Like You', The Naked and Famous
Run, whirlwind run
Further and further away
Into the sun
In, 20 minutes
Everyone will remember you when you're gone
And your heart, is a stone
Buried underneath your pretty clothes

6. 'Not in Love', Crystal Castles
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends

7. 'Jilted Lovers', The Naked and Famous
Fight the lies
Voices in my head
Multiply
I am such a mess

8. 'Year of Silence', Crystal Castles ft. Sigur Rós
My best friend, whatever happens
I'll swallow tears and breathe in your hair
Misbehaving, we cry in each other's embrace
When we meet
When we kiss

(This is a translation of the original Icelandic, and is in fact the entire song)

9. 'A Little High', Sennen
I'm broken with you
'cause you're deaf and I'm blind

A little high, a little low
A little something you should know
It's not as good as we had hoped
It's not as bad as it may seem

10. 'Seven Devils', Florence + The Machine
Thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
See I've come to burn your kingdom down

11. 'Kids', MGMT
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

12. 'Graceless', The National
I took the medicine and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rock and through
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us

13. 'Cosmic Love', Florence + The Machine
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

14. 'Young Blood', The Naked and Famous
We're only young and naive still
We require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins

We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky

(I was astonished to get this, because it fits so perfectly.)

15. 'Barcelona', Plasticines
Say whatever you want but the beat goes on
It's better for us to stay away
Wait, I have enough faith, courage and strength
Just to move on and meditate


It's clear from this that I listen to Florence + The Machine and The Naked and Famous way too much.
