elena gilbert fanmix: lightning strikes you when you're moving
This is for both scorpiod1 and eilowyn (I am being a cheating asshole and combining both your holiday requests into one, I HOPE NOBODY WILL MIND), and for anybody else on my flist who appreciates this girl, a.k.a. my wife. I want to write some pithy and insightful character blurb thing here, but 1) I TALK ENOUGH, and 2) I anticipate that the mix will speak for itself. Hope you enjoy!
lightning strikes you when you're moving
an elena gilbert fanmix
zip
01 | the dress ; blonde redhead [re: object vs. subject.]
tears you see on my face, you do have something to do with
fear starts creeping up when you have so much to lose
your love waits you while you're cheating
lightning strikes you when you're moving
the light you see in my eyes, you do have something to do with
play the game namely love, play it like you have nothing to lose
horse loves you when you move with him
people hate you when you're changing
02 | blinding ; florence & the machine
no more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
no more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
03 | the wolves ; ellie goulding
some day my pain
some day my pain
will mark you
harness your blame
harness your blame
and walk through
04 | keep breathing ; ingrid michaelson
i want to change the world
instead i sleep
i want to believe in more than you and me
05 | weeping willow ; the hush sound
the snow won't stick to the weeping willows
the cold air won't blow open the windows
you've made it through the storm this far
you've done this, dear, it won't be hard
06 | point of disgust ; low [re: sympathy for monsters]
i had in my sight
lack of vision
lack of light
i fell hard
i fell fast
mercy me
it'll never last
07 | boston ; augustana
i think i'll go to boston
i think that i'm just tired
i think i need a new town, to leave this all behind
i think i need a sunrise, i'm tired of the sunset
i hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice
08 | dissolved girl ; massive attack
'cause it feels like i've been
i've been here before
you are not my saviour
but i still don't go
09 | satellite heart ; anya marina [re: "i don't know if i do".]
so pretty, so smart
such a waste of a young heart
10 | skinny love ; birdy
i tell my love to wreck it all
cut out all the ropes and let me fall
my my my
right in the moment this order's tall
11 | world spins madly on ; the weepies [re: stefan. post-s2.]
i let the day go by
i always say goodbye
i watch the stars from my window sill
the whole world is moving and i'm standing still
12 | my skin ; natalie merchant
i'm a slow dying flower
frost killing hour
the sweet turning sour
and untouchable
13 | lady in spain ; ingrid michaelson
i am in love with a boy
manufactured to destroy
so i shall unravel my love
like an old red woollen glove
14 | uncharted ; sara bareilles [re: breaking that holding pattern.]
jump start my kaleidoscope heart
love to watch the colours fade
they may not make sense
but they sure as hell made me
15 | bulletproof ; la roux
i won't let you turn around
and tell me now, i'm much too proud
to walk away from something when it's dead
16 | ghosts ; laura marling [re: damon. s3.]
lover, please do not
fall to your knees
it's not
like i believe in
everlasting love
17 | red right ankle ; the decemberists
this is the story of the boys who loved you
who love you now and loved you then
and some were sweet, some were cold and snuffed you
and some just laid around in bed
some had crumbled you straight to your knees
did it cruel, did it tenderly
some had crawled their way into your heart
to rend your ventricles apart
18 | shake it out ; florence & the machine [re: life, and living it.]
and i'm damned if i do and i'm damned if i don't
so here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
and i'm ready to suffer and i'm ready to hope
it's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
'cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
looking for heaven, for the devil in me
well what the hell i'm gonna let it happen to me
