Songs whose lyrics should be used on gifsets.

[extrapenguin]

(With "gif", of course, pronounced analogously to "gift".)

One of the perils of being a book fan who listens to music is encountering loads of pretty lyrics and not having any fandom thing to use to promote them. Here are my combined music recs and texty recs. I'll be adding to this over time.

Creepy

Sirenia - My Mind's Eye
If you were here
I'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And appeal to all your fears

Within Temptation - It's the Fear
I fear who I am becoming
I feel that I am losing the struggle within
I can no longer restrain it
My strength, it is fading
I have to give in

Defiant

Amaranthe - Danger Zone
You used to call me a hero
Now I am standing alone
Am I almighty
Standing in the danger zone?

Edenbridge - Higher
And your eyes are agleam
Like you're in a dream
Getting out from under

Stratovarius - Dreamweaver
There is so much more to see
There is a deeper way to feel
Misery takes a hold of you paralyzes your soul
Find a way to understand
You hold your fate in your own hand
Break your chains and make your move
Or you might just see a dreamweaver's fall

Within Temptation - Dangerous
It's dangerous
It's what you like
It's what you'll die for
To live this life
We're going on
Never learned to stop

Xandria - Kill the Sun
You can rain down on me
But you can't darken the sun
You can cast a spell on the moon
But you can't kill the sun

Sad

Sirenia - The Seventh Summer
And all the things that I believed were true
Were never roots to anything but lies
To demons in disguise

Shippy

Sirenia - The Last Call
Can't mend by broken heart by
Speaking to myself
I've been lost and found
And broken down by the treason in your eyes

Within Temptation
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end.

Xandria - Save My Life
Save my life
Save my life
Let these tears be our secret
You and I
You and I
Once we were so close
Save my life
