chisato’s playlist is a little different. every one of her songs comes from a musical!! fitting, considering her career as a stage actress in castletown. i have a lot of experiences making mixes like this so it was no trouble whipping it up. all the songs can definitely fit her as a bandori character, but several were inspired by her castletown self here. happy listening!
(tw: racism in miss baltimore crabs, murder and violence in the ballad of sara berry, gunshots in the room where it happens)
apex predator - mean girls
she's the queen of the beasts
she can smell your fear
in this biosphere
she's the apex predator
like a lionesses
only with less fur
do not mess with her
she's the apex predator
the legend of miss baltimore crabs - hairspray
those poor runner-ups might still hold some grudges
they padded their cups, but i screwed the judges
those broads thought they'd win
if a plate they would spin in their dance
ha! not a chance!
killer instinct - bring it on
you need that killer instinct to give you the nerve
to grab everything you want in life but may not deserve
like if some girl's in your way, there's only one thing to do
you blackmail your mother, who sits on the school board
to get campbell transferred and ripped from the life that she knew!
bop to the top - high school musical
baby to be number one, you got to raise the bar
kicking and a-scratching, grinding out my best
anything it takes to climb the ladder of success
work our tails off everyday
gotta bump the competition
blow them all away
life - starship
not to mention, life
what an invention, life
there's no choice involved in what you are given
one mind, one voice, one body to live in
woe is me - the 25th annual putnam county spelling bee
i hope you can love me, america
i’m gunning for first prize!
here’s why you should love me, america
my needs i cannot overemphasize
i make myself crazy
being what my dads hope i’ll be
but what about me, dads?
what about me?
jesus christ! what about me?
the ballad of sara berry - 35mm: a musical exhibition
you taste the silver, sara
you taste the crown
you thirst for blood from the roses in hand
you spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance
as they crown you queen of high school land
lifeboat - heathers
everyone's pushing, everyone's fighting
storms are approaching, there's nowhere to hide
if i say the wrong thing
or i wear the wrong outfit
they'll throw me right over the side
the room where it happens - hamilton
(what do you want, burr
what do you want, burr
if you stand for nothing, burr
what do you fall for?)
i wanna be in
the room where it happens
the room where it happens
reflection - mulan
who is that girl i see
staring straight back at me
why is my reflection someone i don't know
somehow i cannot hide
who i am, though I've tried
when will my reflection show who i am inside?
legally blonde - legally blonde
lie on the beach, dream within reach
don't stray beyond
(we both know you're worth so much more)
some girls fight hard
some face the trial
some girls were just meant to smile
a change in me - beauty and the beast
for in my dark despair i've slowly understood
my perfect world out there had disappeared for good
but in it’s place i feel a truer life begin
and it’s so good and real
it must come from within
she used to be mine - waitress
it's not simple to say
that most days i don't recognize me
that these shoes and this apron
that place and its patrons
have taken more than i gave them

she way out — the 1975
because she way out, i’ve never seen her dance moves dancing she way out, she way out
a real life — greek fire
rebel just to say that we did, to impress every hate-spewing keyboarded kid
can we live a real life? a real life; and do we even know what that means? can we live a real life; and know people outside machines? can we live a real life between the devil and the digital sea?
echo — joseph feliciano, crusher-p
what the hell is going on, can someone help me please? why i’m switching faster than the channels on tv, i’m black, then i’m white, no something isn’t right, my enemy’s invisible i don’t know how to fight, the trembling fear is more than i can take, when i’m up against an echo in the mirror
rough draft — sarah solovay
so if you want me you got me, granted i’m scattered and sloppy, but you can’t send me back, i’m just a rough draft, so cut me and grab me, and when i’m ready make copies, and one day, the real thing might blow you away
young & relentless — against the current
we could be any place, any time, in any moment, it’s a race to the line, breakaway from the life that they sold ya, pack a bag, say goodbye
grow up and be kids — the cab
before i worried about the world, i just worried about me, back then i’d live forever and grow old, i’d keep my friends warms when times got cold
wild things — alessia clara
so gather all the rebels now, we’ll rebel-rouse and sing aloud, we don’t care what they say, no way, no way
i lose my balance on these eggshells, you tell me to read, i’d rather be a wild one instead, don’t wanna hang around the in-crowd, the cool kids aren’t cool to me, they’re not cooler than we are
break the rules — charli xcx
i don’t wanna go to school, i just wanna break the rules, boys and girls across the world, putting on our dancing shoes, going to the discotheque, getting high and getting wrecked, i don’t wanna go to school, i just wanna break the rules
peace sign — lights
it’s getting hard to know if i’m on the tracks or off the beaten road
sharada — skye sweetnam
once upon a time there was a girl, you wouldn’t really call her typical, had her own definition of cool, she lived in her own world. she had her own style, her own rules, she played along like it was usual, nobody really even knew her name, to her life was one big game
heart attack — chuu
when i see you, spark, it’s like there is a spark in my heart, i find my hidden feelings
don’t let our hearts fade / a zemyx playlist [ listen here ] * @ienzion
i. on my mind , new found glory
it feels familiar
‘cause i’ve been here before
when your words swept the ground
right from under me
ii. memory , sugarcult
( i’d be your memory )
feelings disappear
can i be your memory ?
so get back , back , back to where we lasted
just like i imagine
i could never feel this way
so get back , back , back to the disaster
my heart’s beating faster
holding on to feel the same
iii. my heart , paramore
and its been so long
since i’ve heard a sound
the sound of my only hope
this time i will be listening
--
my heart is yours
( please don’t go now , please don’t fade away )
iv. you had me at hello , a day to remember
i’ve never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
it’s simply radiant , i feel more with everyday that goes by
i watch the clock so i can make my timing just right
would it be okay ?
would it be okay if i took your breath away ?
v. same dumb excuse ( nothing to lose ) , forever the sickest kids
i’ve got nothing to lose
i’ve got nothing to lose but you
if i just say nothing , you'll never hear the truth
i can’t keep using the same dumb excuse
‘cause , i’ve got nothing to lose
i’ve got nothing to lose
but you
vi. you’re still a mystery , bleachers
followed a dream and a strange desire
you picked me up in the dead of the night
and gave me a chance to move on inside of your mystery
maybe i don’t need to understand
why your love , love , love is such mystery
vii. must have done something right , relient k
and i’m racking my brain for a new improved way
to let you know you’re more to me than what i know how to say
--
maybe i’m just lucky ‘cause it’s hard to believe
believe that somebody like you’d end up with someone like me
and i know that it’s so cliche to talk about you this way
viii. kiss me again , we are the in crowd & alex gaskarth
i gotta say something i’ve been thinking about
i can’t wait to lay around with you
and tell you all the secrets i’ve been keeping to myself
--
i gotta say i wasn’t expecting you
to come this way and fall into my arms
and now i know i can't deny this feeling any longer
i close my eyes , i can’t stop thinking about you
crack a smile , i just can’t lose
at a mile a minute my heart beats to the limit when i’m with you
hunting you, i can smell you — alive, your heart pounding in my head
thriller — luminize
it's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark. under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart. you try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it, you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes, you're paralyzed.
two against one — danger mouse, daniele luppi, jack white
make no mistake, i don’t do anything for free, i keep my enemies closer than my mirror ever gets to me
killer — the hoosiers
it’s alright to scream, i’m screaming to, why’d you think i do these things i do?
spider dance — adriana figuerora
so you’ve got nowhere to flee, now your soul belongs to me, you’ve been invited to my spider dance
paralyzed, fear is in your eyes, but your cries will go unheard even if you try, struggling is futile so get tangled up in me, 'cause to survive i think you’re gonna have to pay a little fee
dreams — fleetwood mac
like a heartbeat drives you mad, in the stillness of remembering what you had, and what you lost, and what you had, and what you lost
the witch in the wood — postscript
the front door starts to open and the air is feeling colder as the witch, she comes outside
howl — florence + the machine
the saints can’t help me now, the ropes have been unbound, i hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
dead of night — ruelle
in a pitch black world, anything goes, no telling where the wind will go
you can shout or you can scream, but it won’t save you from the midnight trickery, when the daylight disappears, you’ll find no shelter in this tangled web of fear
rosy — olivia hye, go won, heejin
you might want me ( you might want me ), but don’t get pricked ( but don’t get pricked )
before you lose your way, run to me, i’ll go ahead and say it, let’s bloom at the end of this night
in vain — within temptation
the demons walk in, and i know what awaits
nothing of the heart remains, even if we could’ve stayed
our own house — misterwives
we build our own house, own house, with our hands over our hearts, and we swore on that day, that it’ll never fall apart
