the lonely archetype || 18 songs / 1h 28m

a playlist that highlights the frustrations of yearning for connection in a world full of apathy. For those that are so guarded they can't tell the difference between keeping their peace and pushing everyone and everything away. For those that aren't sure if they'll ever really know someone and if they're even worthy of it in the first place.

some of my favorite lines:

"if you love me, keep it to yourself" - vacillator by ethel cain

"if i could have anything in the world for free // i wouldn't share it with anyone else but me" - a certain someone by the sundays

"i am building something else // it's not something i will tear down // i will make it myself // and i'm too proud to break that promise // i'd do anything but ask for your help" - older by searows

"always ready for the piano to fall // always ready to be left out in the cold // armor's heavy, never suited me at all // but it's the devil, i know" - hard by hayley williams

"well, i was born all by myself // it's not unlikely that i'll die that way as well" - darwinism by halsey

"and there are some people, love, who are better unknown" - unknown/nth by hozier

"i don't understand about diamonds // and why men buy them // what's so impressive about a diamond // except the mining?" - red red red by fiona apple

"beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men // secret compartments hide all of the skeletons // little girl wants to make her home with him // in the middle of the shore, she wonders // "don't know what you asked for"" - nightmares by the sea by jeff buckley
