Send me a 'hi' and I will put my playlist on shuffle, write down the first line of 5 songs, and give it to you as a poem.
This ask has been sitting in my inbox for a good while because I wanted to make the perfect respone, haha. Instead, here's a bunch of chosen lyrics from my Calm list on Spotify:
I'll never be your chosen one
[...]
And I will not speak of your sins
[...]
I'll never wear your broken crown
Broken Crown - Mumford and Sons
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
[...]
I've never fallen from quite this high
Fallin' into your ocean eyes
ocean eyes - Billie Eilish
It's better to burn out than to fade away
[...]
Out of the blue and into the black
[...]
And once you're gone, you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black
The king is gone, but he's not forgotten
[...]
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone, but he's not forgotten
[...]
There's more to the picture than meets the eye
My my, hey hey - Neil Young
I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart, so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Dreams - The cranberries
I don't have to explain myself to you
I am a grown woman and I do what I want to do
I know that it's wrong
But I want to have fun
Oh my god - Adele
How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note
You know where
You've been there
How's the heart - Nightwish
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love, I can't tell you how I feel
Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again
Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again
Always somewhere - Scorpions
Jag är ingen kvinna, jag är ett neutrum
Jag är en skål för alla kvinnors ära
Du sökte en blomma och fann en frukt
Du sökte en källa och fann ett hav
Du sökte en kvinna en och fann en själ
Men du är besviken
Jag e (vierge moderne) - Molly Sandén
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
In restless dreams, I walked alone
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
The sound of silence - Disturbed
I am lost in a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone
Overcast by your shadow
As our worlds move on
In this shirt I can be you
To be near you for a while
In this shirt I can be you
To be near you for a while
There's a pain, it does ripple
Through my frame, makes me lame
There's a thorn in my side
It's the shame, it's the prize
Of you and me, ever changing
Moving on now, moving fast
And this touch must be wanting
Must become through your ask
But I mean dare to tell you
That I love you - it never ends
And I bled everyday now
For a year, for a year
I did send you a note
On the wind for to read
Our names there together
Must've fallen like the sea
To the depths of the soil
Buried deep in the ground
On the wind I can hear you
In this shirt - The irrepressibles (Yes, this entire song is one long quote to me, lmao.)
When the moon on a cloud cast night
Hung above the tree tops' height
You sang me of some distant past
That made my heart beat strong and fast
Now I know I'm home at last
And so our love's not a simple thing
Nor our truths unwavering
But like the moon's pull on the tide
Our fingers touch our hearts collide
I'll be a moonsbreath by your side
Samhain night - Loreena McKennitt
Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When they stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes
Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison
I suffer this no longer
The day that never comes - Metallica
När får jag dig hem vänta, Sven i rosengård?
När korpen blir viter, kära moder vår
Och när blir korpen viter, Sven i rosengård?
När svanen blir svarter, kära moder vår
Sven i Rosengård - Garmarna
Stop, what the hell are you talking about?
Get my pretty name outta your mouth
Therefor I am - Billie Eilish
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
On a dark new year's night
on the west coast of Clare
I heard your voice singing.
[...]
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
as we stole away to the seashore
and smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
and with sadness you paused.
Suddenly, I knew that you'd have to go.
Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so.
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
and I wondered why.
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea,
a vision came o'er me,
of thundering hooves and beating wings
in the clouds above.
As you turned to go, I heard you call my name.
You were like a bird in a cage, spreading its
wings to fly.
'The old ways are lost', you sang as you flew
and I wondered why.
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
The old ways - Loreena McKennitt
Vi står tysta framför skälet, där sommaren tar slut
Nu skulle inget bli som förr
En elegi för alla sorger den där hösten handla om
För skuggan över gårn där aldrig solen lyste in
För en ork som inte fanns, du sakna min, jag sakna din
En elegi för alla vägar som vi inte vandrat än
För en tid som bara går och aldrig kommer igen
