Issy and I were discussing this today and we realised that sometimes a song just seems perfect for a character, asif it was written by or for him/ her. So, I thought, so we can all get to know each others' characters a little better, why not post the lyrics of our characters' anthems here?
Basically, this thread is for those songs that you think give an insight into the personality or history of your character(s), or their drives and feelings. That way, when we're RPing with characters we're supposed to know already (especially non-canon), well have that little bit more of an idea of them. Here we go!
My Characters' Anthems:
Amber: Because of You by Kelly Clarkson
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did, You felt so hard
I’ve learned the hard way to never let it getthat far
[Chorus]
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid
I lose my way and it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can’t possibly break when it wasn’t even whole to start with
[Chorus]
I watched you die I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young you should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing
[Chorus]
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you I am afraid
Because of you [x2]
Diana: Tourniquet by Evanescence
I tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved
Am i too lost?
Chorus:
My god my torniquet
return to me salvation
my god my torniquet
return to me salvation
Do you remeber me
Lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
Am i too lost to be saved
Am i too lost?
[Chorus]
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied christ
tourniquet
My suicide
Nicoletta: Different Breed by Carter's Chord/ U + Ur Hand by Pink
They've got shiny cars and polished nails
Yeah, those girls they've got everything right
They've got fancy clothes, perfect hair, steady lives
But I don't
They're the first to send out thank you notes
They've got well kept homes to entertain
They'll do anything just to please you
But I won't
If these are the girls that you choose
What make you think I'd be good for you
Chorus:
Can you tell me baby
What do you see in me
I'm a FAST RIDE I'm a crashing tide and
I'm crazy
Can you tell me baby
What do you see in me
You've loved a long line of consistency
I'm a different breed
Every time you take me out boy
We see another girl whose held your hand
And she acts like she doesn't care with me
But I know..
She don't like the way I look on you
I make her nervous 'cause I don't fit in
With my deep brown eyes, cigarette, cowboy boots
I stand alone (alone-whoa)
Baby I wonder if you know what
You're getting yourself into
[Chorus x 2]
------
Check it out
Going out
On the late night
Looking tight
Feeling nice
It's a **** fight
I can tell
I just know
That it's going down
Tonight
At the door we don't wait cause we know them
At the bar six shots just beginning
That's when dick head put his hands on me
But you see
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
Midnight
I'm drunk
I don't give a ***k
Wanna dance
By myself
Guess you're outta luck
Don't touch
Back up
I'm not the one
Alright
Listen up it's just not happening
You can say what you want to your boyfriends
Just let me have my fun tonight
[Chorus]
Break break
Break it down
In the corner with your boys you bet up five bucks
To get at the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me yeah
You know who you are
High fivin, talkin ****, but you're going home alone arentcha?
[Chorus x 2]
