my adam playlist is about 20 songs now, so im gonna post it even though it is still a WORK IN PROGRESS!!!! ill add onto it when i wanna ofc, but i just wanna share a lil bit of my visionnn <3 expect a lot of linkin park lmao
some songs might not show up on the tumblr preview so i highly recommend going to the actual playlist if you have spotify!!
and batuta din moldova is there too cuz why not
below is a few categories and explanations for most songs!!!
ANGSTY SHIT
songs I thought either the lyrics or vibe had something to do with his angst... usually has to do with his background, during the trap, after the trap (whether he survived or not), or just headcanons :P
1. paper cuts - nirvana
"my whole existence is for your amusement", "why do they not try to escape?"
i THINK this song is about this dude who is like, in a really shitty kidnapping situation.... or something idk don't quote me on that :P it gives off the vibe of how it must've felt being in the bathroom all alone :( waiting for his boyfriend to save him :(
2. pictures of me - elliot smith
"you'll be the victim of your own dirty tricks", "i'm not surprised at all and really, why should i be?", "so sick and tired of all these pictures of me")
i like the whole pictures tie in.. the song isn't rlly about this, but some lyrics seem like how he would feel about being in a trap. like "I'm not surprised jigsaw chose me for this, my life is shit!!" ofc that would be if he knew who jigsaw was beforehand....... self deprecating shit yknow
3. given up - linkin park
"stuck in my head again//feels like i'll never leave this place//there's no escape", "thought i was focused, but I'm scared//i'm not prepared", "i hyperventilate//looking for help somehow, somewhere//and no one cares"
OK so first quote from this that I chose is like, how he sees his life as some useless "live to die" type thing, then the next quotes are how he realizes that he REALLY doesn't wanna die at the end of the trap. despite his whole "my life is shit I hate my job yadda yadda" talk, he still begs for his life once it's really in danger!!!
4. black heart - stone temple pilots w/ chester benningtion
"rescue me//(If you don't mind)"
lawrence......rescue this bitch....... ok but this song is mostly vibes, it can have angsty vibes :P
5. go with the flow - queens of the stone age
"she said, "i'll throw myself away//they're just photos after all", "i can't make you hang around//i can't wash you off my skin"
MORE PHOTO STUFF!!!!!! love it when it all ties in......... for the second quote its kind of a chainshipping thing... i cant make you hang around, adam goin "don't leave me!!!!" and i cant wash you off my skin, lawrence left his frickin bloody handprint on adams face.... oughh
6. and one - linkin park
"left all alone//far from my home//no one to hear me, to heal my ill heart", "it's too late to love me now//you don't even know me"
this song just generally gives angsty adam vibes, but the second quote is TOTALLY CHAINSHIPPING..... like they literally just met but already have such a connection since they went thru all that SHIT. but uh its too late for them to live a happy normal life together cuz lawrence never came back womp womp!! i can see adam sitting there waiting like "he don't even know me why tf would he come backk"
VIBES/STUFF HE'D LIKE
whether its based off of whatever tf he was listening to in his headphones that one time, or just based off of the time... i think his music taste would generally be pretty vast, while still staying around nu metal and alternative rock
1. one step closer, papercut, don't stay - linkin park
its 2001, hybrid theory has been release and is already fairly popular, i'd assume :P plus I think he'd favor linkin park since they've got a lot of complexity, as opposed to some mindless nu metal around that time
2. guns (are for pussies), down - 311
AGAIN with the rap x rock wtf!!!! he also like, cares about politics and probably trash talks all those gun loving dummies
3. brain stew - green day
who tf doesnt like this song... but it is about rotting in your room and he probably does that often <3
4. break stuff - limp bizkit
DO I HAVE TO SAY WHY I PUT THIS ONE???? ITS BREAK STUFF LIMP BIZKIT COME ON!!!!
5. the fear (flipped) - the shins
honestly have no idea why, but its giving adam!!! dunno what the song is about, but i glanced at the lyrics mentioned a bong and i was like "haha adam smokes weed"
6. tired of sex - weezer
he would like pinkerton, but i kinda only like this song off of it :P i don't listen to much weezer
7. blister in the sun, kiss off - violent femmes
i kinda just wanted to add in the acoustic sounding shit, but i do think adam would listen to violent femmes!! and you should too!!!
8. break it to me - muse
have y'all noticed that he kinda lied a lot during the trap? sure he isn't a good liar, but he seems like he's cool with lying for whatever reason... i just kinda picked this one cuz i needed to add some muse and the song kinda says shit about lying and stuff idk!!
CHAINSHIPPING SHIT
other than the angsty chainshipping in the "angsty shit" category, these just have cutesy lil lawrence x adam stuff <3 sorry to SHOVE chainshipping down your throat but whatever love is love
1. add it up - violent femmes
not specifying which lyric even though there IS one, i'm just embarrassed to say <3 but uh the only thing stopping them from making out sloppy style on top of john kramer was their chains :P
again, i WILL be adding more to this :3 but here's just my thoughts for now. im TOTES not just projecting my music taste onto adam hahahahhhhahahhahahhhaaa he's just so ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry if none of this makes sense!!!
I really wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who saved and listened to my Hoffstrahm and Mark Hoffman playlists on Spotify!!!
I started those playlists thinking no one will listen to those but me anyway, because I did not think other people would get my song choices for those - so looking at the amount of followers they gained by now still makes me really flabbergasted and the fact that you enjoy them genuinely warms my heart!! Thank you so so so much for listening to them guys <333
