Specific lines in each song from my Brocedes playlist, and how they (very accurately) relate to Nico and Lewis (a growing list)
+ who I have in mind when I listen to the song / who I think “I” or “you” is (AKA who’s singing the song/who the song is about)
All squeezed out (extended version) - The Home Team
(Specifically 2014-17 Brocedes)
“‘Cause every bite seemed to hurt, could never quite figure it out”
“I’d be livid if you left without a proper goodbye”
“Were you sent to fuck with my head?”
“So what if I go out in style? I better not see you around”
The Grudge - Olivia Rodrigo
“And I doubt you ever think about the damage you did, but I hold on to every detail like my life depends on it”
“My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge”
“I know in my heart, hurt people, hurt people. And we both drew blood, but man, those cuts were never equal”
“I try to be tough, I try to be mean, but even after all this, you’re still everything to me.”
Good luck, Babe! - Chappell Roan
(I listen to this with both of them in mind actually, although Nico is the only married one)
“And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night, with your head in your hands, you’re nothing more than his wife. And when you think about me all those years ago, you’re standing face-to-face with “I told you so””
Two ghosts - Harry Styles
“Same lips red, same eyes blue. Same white shirt, couple more tattoos. But it's not you and it's not me. Tastes so sweet, looks so real. Sounds like something that I used to feel. But I can't touch what I see. We're not who we used to be”
(I listen to this song with specifically Lewis in mind, but the song works for both of them)
“We don't care 'bout no one else. Nothing in the world could bring us down. Now we're so high among the stars without a worry. And neither one, one of us wants to say we're sorry”
“What the hell were we fighting for? 'Cause now the whole damn world will know. That we're too numb and just too dumb to change the story. Neither one, one of us wants to say we're sorry”
(2016-17 Lewis, especially the last section)
“You're stressing me out. And you know that I want what you do. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you at all”
“Second guess me if you want but I'd love to prove you wrong.
It's the greatest thrill, how you lost all your faith in the one thing that pays your bills. You know what's next? Wouldn't believe me if I lost my head. Would you still love these pictures you've been left? Yet you still leave me, lost and out of breath”
“I physically cannot, give you anymore than that, ‘cause I still value my health. So focused on the track, that I never made it back, but I’ll still see you in hell”
“How are still running around? I still won’t ever seek out, anything you’ve given me now. So, what now, baby?”
“Everything I’ve heard from you sucks! And I still don’t know if you really love making me crazy, hell”
My Kink Is Karma - Chappell Roan
“It’s comical, bridges you burn. If karma is real, I hope it’s your turn.”
“People say I’m jealous, but my kink is watching you, ruin your life, you losing your mind, you dyeing your hair. People say I’m jealous, but my kink is watching you, crashing your car, you breaking your heart, you thinking I care.”
Twin sized mattress - The Front Bottoms
“It's no big surprise you turned out this way. When they close their eyes and prayed you would change, and they cut your hair, and sent you away. You stopped by my house the night you escaped. With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay, you said, "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way!"”
“Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face. There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say”
“And it is no big surprise you turned out this way. The spark in your eyes, the look on your face”
(First part Nico start f1-2014, second part Lewis post 2016)
“You looked to me and wondered whether, I was the lamppost to which you were tethered”
“There's nothin' worse than seein' your lover, moving on while you still suffer”
Where has my friend gone? - The Home Team
(First part is Brocedes 2013-16, second is Nico 2016, third part is Lewis late 2016)
“Slow it up if you need it less efficient. But blow it up if you need to start the engine. Shut it down when you think you've made a statement. But plug it up when you're out of ways to make it. And don't leave me here”
“I don't think I like the way that you talk to me but I still agree. So save me if you will, but for the love of God don't be acting like you don't feel the symptoms”
“Don’t leave me here. Don’t leave, don’t leave. Don’t leave me to do this myself.”
The subway - Chappell Roan
“A few weeks later, somebody wore your perfume. It almost killed me, I had to leave the room”
“Or wish you thought that we were still soulmates. But I'm still countin' down all of the days 'Til you're just another girl on the subway”
“She’s got, she’s a got a way. And she got, she got away.”
Forever young - alphaville
“Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever”
“So many adventures couldn't happen today, so many songs we forgot to play, so many dreams swinging out of the blue. We'll let them come true. Forever young”
(I’m looking at you, Religious Guilt Lewis Hamilton. Lewis 2007-2017)
“It's so rare that somebody'd look out for you. Thoughts and prayers was all they'd do”
“I feel when I question, my skin starts to burn. Why does my skin start to burn?”
“Feel when we argue, our skin starts to rot. Our skin starts to rot”
Merry Christmas, please don’t call - Bleachers
“Oh, golden boy, don't act like you were kind. You were mine, but you were awful every time. So don't tell them what you told me. Don't hold me like you know me”
“Oh, golden boy, you shined a light on your home. And at your best, you were magic, we were sold. Don't tell 'em what you told me. Don't even tell 'em that you know me.”
“Merry Christmas, please don’t call. Merry Christmas, I’m not yours at all.”
Fame is a gun - Addison Rae
“This is my one confession. It never was enough. I always wanted more”
“Fame is a gun, and I point it blind. Crash and burn, girl, Baby, swallow it dry. You've got a front row seat, and I got a taste of the glamorous life”
“There's no mystery. I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in history”
Leave Me Alone - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW)
(Lewis 1997-2014, AKA the duration of their actual friendship)
“Big shot, so what? Do you wanna pretend? You took the money, but money couldn’t buy a friend.”
“They say the devil that you know, is better than a devil that you don’t. Oh you’re a big shot here, but no one else knows.”
“Blind spot, take your shot. Lucky me.”
“Four in the morning, but we’re having such a lovely time. Mad as a hatter with a dagger and a dollar sign. Aristocrat, tip your hat and break your mother’s heart. And when the sun comes up, you’ll find a brand new god.”
(Nico 2007-2015, AKA the time Lewis was winning, but he wasn’t)
“And I want it so bad, I’d shoot the sunshine into my veins. I can’t remember, the good ol’ days”
“And it’s kind of funny, the way we’re wearing anchors on our shirts, when being anchored and bored just feels like a curse.”
“Doing lines off of dust and sweat from last nights show, just to feel like you”
“You’re a bottled star, the planets alight, you’re just like mars. You shine in the sky.”
“Are all the good times getting gone? They come and go and go and come and go. I’ve got a lot of friends who are stars, but some are just black holes”
The Knife In My Back - Alex Benjamin
“And every single secret has been broadcast like TV, now all the strings are severed that were tying you to me.”
“I thought we were friends, but now we’re enemies. Pull your knife out of my back, your heart’s gone black. I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast.”
“My blood flows like a river, ‘cause I trusted you the most, and now I know it’s over”
“I was so naive, I even let you in my home. Took you out to dinner and let you wear my clothes. I can’t even breathe, I have your scents still in my nose. It’s almost like I miss you, I should’ve known.”
“Am I a fool? Waiting for you? What if you never come back?”
“There’s nothing new. I made another hit, I made another two. What if we know why hearts deceive us, the nights calls the dreamers.”
“Let me ask you this question before you leave, I plead. Save me from these emotions, it’s hard to process.”
“Don’t leave before you answer. I sense you through my touch. Don’t leave me until I get to hear the end.
Play me dead, thought that hell was just a trend. Fuck me dead, yes I swear, this is the beginning of familiar ends.”
“Suffocating under the weight of our actions, late to realise the suffering consequences, asking all the time yet receiving no answers. Why’d I even save our sins before I…”
Long Way Down - One Direction
(Random comment: Brocedes lowkey reminds me of zouis and Zarry. especially with the music on MITAM iykyk…)
“We made a fire, went down in the flames. We sailed an ocean, and drowned in the waves.”
“We had it all, and walked away. Point of no return, now it’s just too late to turn around.”
“We built up to high, but now I’m falling, it’s a long way down.”
“We had a mountain, but I took it for granted. We had a spaceship, but we couldn’t land it. We found an island, but we got stranded. We had it all, who could’ve planned it?”
Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart - Mitski
“There's nobody better than you. It took me a while 'til I knew. But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you? It just took me a while 'til I knew”
“'Cause you waited and watered my heart 'til it grew, you just grew a little smarter, too”
“So, I don't blame you If you want to bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl l ought to be. But maybe when you tell your friends, you can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be”
“There's some kind of burning inside me, It's kept me from falling apart. And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart, but it's kept me from falling apart”
“Now here I lay as I wonder about you, would you just tell me what I'm meant to do? 'Cause I've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew, you can see how it's blossomed for you”
“And I don't mean to make your heart blue, but could we be what we're meant to be? I'm just about to beg you, please”
Ma Meilleure Ennemie - Stromae, Pomme
(Lyrics translated from French)
“I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you”
“You're the best thing to ever happen to me, but also the worst thing to ever happen to me. On that day when I met you, maybe I would rather that it never happened to me”
“You know what they say, stay close to your dearest friends. But also, even closer to your adversaries”
“But my best enemy is you. Flee from me, the worst is you and I. But if you keep searching for my voice. Forget me, the worst is you and I”
“Why does hearing your name hurt me. When it hides right there in the vicinity? What kind of emotion, is it hatred or pure sweetness when I hear your name?”
“Don’t wanna hear your sad songs, I dont wanna feel your pain. When you swear it’s all my fault ‘cause you know we’re not the same, no, we’re not the same.”
“Yeah, the friends who stuck together, we wrote our names in blood, but I guess you can’t expect that the change is good.”
“Well, you treat me just like another stranger. Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir, I guess I’ll go, I best be on my way out.
Ignorance is your new best friend.”
“This is the best thing that could’ve happened, any longer and I wouldn’t have made it.”
“The same tricks that, that once fooled me, they won’t get you anywhere. I’m not the same kid from your memory, well now I can fend for myself.”
Vampire Empire - Big Thief
(Nico 2014-2021, the “him” in this song being Seb Vettel, and the “pills” being racing)
“I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet, just receiving what you said
Reeling, feeling, filled with everything you fed. I see you as you see yourself, through all the books you read.
Overwhelmed with guilt and realising the disease”
“I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills. I am empty ‘til she fills, alive until she kills”
“I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man, I wanted to be the one that you could understand.”
“Well I walked into your dagger for the last time. It’s like trying to start I fire with matches in the snow. Where you can’t seem to find me, can’t seem to let me go. So I can’t find surrender, can’t keep control.
You turn me inside out and then you want outside in. You turn me all around, and then you ask me not spin.
You say you wanna be alone, and you want children. You wanna be with me, you wanna be with him.”
“Im unfuckwitable, in a world of my own, thats why my shoulder’s so cold. I’m unfuckwitable.”
“So tired of fake friends, and fake love, you know? No time for me lie, and I’m here to show I found a way higher. Me is all I need to be inspired.
My vibe and my life, around my design. Your sentiments irrelevant ‘cause I got down and up again, ‘cause I had the time of my life.”
“They all said I wouldn’t do shit, now they all about my new shit. Thinkin’ we were always cool when I was never even all on your mind. Happens all the time.”
