·͙⁺˚•̩̩͙ 🕯 gloomy season playlist 🌥
low vibrations - the feeling of thick dark lip gloss on your mouth, splayed across plush velvet furniture, a candle is lit, the air is sultry and you catch glimpses of orbs floating around
the tenderest part - sometimes it’s okay to sit next to our shadow selves, to only share tears and nothing more, there is soap in our eyes, what else are we supposed to do?
no hesitations - i want to hold your hand in a crowded room where the lights are on for once, i am only looking at you and there is a cage of birds being released in my chest
the irrelevant - i am burying your body in the middle of an open field, i keep my knives by the door, broken statues of gods are under my feet. who do you think you are? i did not lose you, you lost me
eat my youth - watching my old self through songs, the coming of age movie in my head where my younger self is the main character (as they deserved)
god of the aisles - everyone’s eyes are on you, apples falling to the ground, looking at yourself in the reflection of any surface, smiling to yourself as you pass by others, who is the mystery walking down the low lights of the grocery store?
medusa myth - exposing the inner rage of milky ink, i have a desire for everything i once never could have, this time i control my own story
taste of smoke - you are sitting in a broken down pub with wooden black walls, rain is pouring, jazz or blues is playing as you sip on an unfamiliar drink, you are waiting for someone who might not show up
under the lights - in the backset of your friends car, head out of the window, cold wind blowing through your face in the dimly lit yellow glow of the night, the streetlights and stars merge into one sky, the overwhelming feeling of wanting to scream through a tunnel
realitybreak - on a rooftop away from the movement of the world, count constellations and wonder if they have ever counted us, in between the sun leaving and moon not arriving, you spot someone walking alone in the cold and wonder if it makes a difference if you were walking with them, it’s nice to feel like your life is just this
☾︎ p͜͡l͜͡a͜͡y͜͡l͜͡i͜͡s͜͡t͜͡ d͜͡u͜͡m͜͡p͜͡ ☽︎
chilling on the moon with friendly aliens
songs that would have been played in a gay bar from the 1940s-1960s (based on actual accounts of vintage gay bar culture).
going for an early morning walk in the woods with the fairies by your side
songs that would be played in a parisian café patronised by an art student who is writing in the journal she just took out of her pink prada bag
making freshly-picked berries into jam and pies and tending to your vegetable garden while wearing a gingham dress
simulating the effect of being high while not actually being high
songs that will make you politically far left
songs to water your houseplants to
when you want to listen to country music, but don't want to listen to lyrics about murica and girls in tiny denim shorts
falling into the gentlest sleep
melancholic mermaid lullabies
Playlist Dump
if one more fucking man catcalls me im going to rip his throat out with my fucking teeth
music they’d play in a movie when the main character is on an acid trip
music I listen to when i desperately, desperately don’t want to go to work to remind myself that I need money
Vintage Italian music that makes me feel like I’m walking along the streets of Rome on a sunny day with a cup of gelato in hand
high tempo 70s disco to dance to
music to objectify men to in a funny way
absolute bops from the late 2000s and early 2010s
Japanese city pop (aka Japanese 80s music)
falling in love in the summer, picnics under the sun, picking flowers buzzing with bees, sweet strawberry lips
Finnish Indie
Best of the 80s
Best of the 90s
✧・゚*playlists for villains *・゚✧
stay ugly with me - sometimes a fairy tale ending isn’t a white horse and glittering slippers—instead, it’s shattered glass and crime scene tape. somehow, it’s still a love story.
candy-coated skull crusher - there’s something going wrong with the AI you’ve been constructing. sure, it’s brilliant, but you can’t help but think there’s something…else occurring within the system. something beautiful. something dangerous.
burn through the witches - fate has never been your friend, but you don’t need it to be. you don’t want to be the chosen one, another tragic hero. instead, you’ll carve out your own story—that of a dark god.
black suits and ties [we won’t get out alive] - it was just supposed to be a job, but you now realize it’s become far more than that—this is your family. the family you’ll stand alongside amidst the ashes of the city you once called home.
nowhere, USA - population: everyone who’s names you’ve already forgotten, but still show up in your dreams. do you have your hometown, or does your hometown hate you? does it matter which one it is?
i’d burn this city down to show you the light - bonnie & clyde but with 2000s mall vibes. you hate the whole world aside from them, and vice versa. friendship bracelets, glittery lip gloss, and gasoline. your story might not be long, but it sure as hell won’t be boring.
your lover sold you out and now you’re on trial for plotting to overthrow the crown while it rains
Thrift Shop Thursday’s
you bounce on the heels of your boots as you walk down the city sidewalk. the sweet taste of iced coffee lingers on your breath when you laugh loudly into the crisp air. hands intertwined with your best friend, you take in the towering building above you. dreams painted in vivid color inside your heads as you wish on every penny you see abandoned on the sidewalk that they all come true.
cottagecore playlist - listen on spotify
kind of an melancholic cottagecore pl for me and my best friend so i thought i’d share
concept-ish playlists pt 4
technology! neon! crackling electricity!
warm summer afternoon in 1983
arcades really galaxy-brained with the 8-bit
what am i missing?
grey skies, faraway thunderstorms, and you
zoning out at a diner, late at night
there’s more to life than american music
if we ever get a ‘the secret history’ movie it should have at least one mitski song
some concept playlists no one asked for
weirdcore playlist: you fell through the gaps of reality and into an alternate universe where nothing feels real, and it’s the most you’ve felt in years.
coming of age film soundtrack: we blast music in an empty field and laugh; teenage life is hell but right now things aren’t looking so grim.
melancholy dancing: it’s nearing 2am and there’s nothing we can do except dance, so let’s have a party all by ourselves baby.
quarantine day ?? : more playlist
[🚘]•[quarantine has ended, and even though mosts days you’d rather stay home, self isolation made crave an adventure, it made exploring any new place seem like the best idea]
[🌷]•[summer spent in a field of wildflowers and tall grass, eyes closed and soaking up the warmth of the sun]
[☁️]•[cloud-like cudding and soft touches, soft glow from the sun and words spoken softly, sleepy eyed looks, messy hair and the feeling of pure bliss]
[☔️]•[you’re in the park, slow dancing in the rain, well not exactly, you both hate getting wet by the rain, so you’re dancing under a bridge, but it doesn’t matter cause anywhere you dance feels like the most romantic setting]
political angst make your voice heard. fight with everything you have. don’t let them stop your power.
longing for escape take my hand. let’s get out of this town. we won’t look back.
bubble of sadness soft, quiet sad girl hours.
dissociating in the bathroom staring back at yourself in the mirror. lost in lust and jealousy and confusion. doubting everything you know. wondering what everyone truly thinks. wondering how you’ll ever have the strength to rejoin the party.
new city, big dreams it’s been waiting for you.
i’d do it all over again the fights, the long nights, the tears and tantrums.
parisian days you drink coffee and eat a pastry at a café on the seine. beautiful parisian women stroll by. the air is crisp and sweet.
obsessed wid u obssesive, possesive love. completely in awe of everything that the person is. nobody else compares.
fuck off for slamming doors and punching walls. when your blood boils. when you need to be alone.
in love too soon coming back home. it’s 1 am. you realise you’re in love. you don’t know how to hold it in. the sky is a deep navy purple. everything tingles.
playlist for different moods
heart rush - for when you are smitten and blush everytime you see someone
oh, honey honey - that romantic comedy type of love that you wish to have one day
heatwave - under the harsh sun, covered in sweat and everything feels like it’s on fire
lucky strike - it’s the middle of the day and you’re on the long empty road and the warm sticky air blows through your hair
venus in taurus - for the fragile and deeply in love
the good side - you woke up, the sun glimmers through the window, you hear distant sounds of other lives waking up, everything will be okay
on the rocks - a party has finally died down, you and your friends are in a daze cleaning things up in a dark lit room and your skin feels like glitter and smoke
hold on a sec i’m having an out of body experience - it’s the middle of the night and you desperately want to be anywhere but here so you dance it out
graveyard shift - for when you’re driving at night going nowhere in particular, and your only companion are the soft yellow street lights and hum of your car
in the present with you - when you’re hopelessly in love and want to spend today, tomorrow, and the rest of tomorrows with someone
after hours - lights off, skin to skin, touch starved and a hunger for desire
five drinks in - alcohol swims in you as you softly sip on your drink and all you want is to place your head on someone’s shoulder, close your eyes, and feel the world slowly spin around you
levitating - you’re head is in the clouds, butterflies feel like they’re fluttering all over your skin, the world in your head feels effervescent
Concept Playlist #14
imagine spending the summer nights stargazing in the bed of a pick-up truck, nothing but time to enjoy the stars and stillness of the night
