throw your soul through every open door: a damon/katherine mix
LOL BEFORE MEDIAFIRE IS TAKEN AWAY FROM US~. As requested by superkappa -- OTP, basically, insofar as the only acceptable "endgame" on this show is for these two maniacal kids to compel a priest to take their unholy vows.
I have tried to cover both characters' viewpoints, which amounts to: 1) appropriately tortured songs about the agony of love to which Damon might melodramatically throw shot glasses into his fireplace, and 2) necessarily cynical anti-love songs to which Kat might stab pins into blue-eyed voodoo dolls. :) I dearly hope I have done these assholes something close to justice. #how do you perfection?
(p.s. what even is this art? don't ask, pls.)

(1) TIGHTEN UP :: the black keys
I wanted love, I needed love,
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
Oh, what can I do?
(2) ROLLING IN THE DEEP :: adele**
throw your soul through every open door
count your blessings to find what you look for
turn my sorrow into treasured gold
pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
(you're gonna wish you never had met me)
(3) TOO LATE :: m83
and if you are a ghost
i'll call your name again
(4) PRETTY WHEN YOU CRY :: vast
I didn't really love you, baby,
I didn't really love you
I didn't really love you, but I'm pretty when I lie.
(5) TAKE IT EASY (LOVE NOTHING) :: bright eyes
Left by the lamp, right next to the bed,
On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen,
"Everything is as it's always been.
This never happened.
Don't take it too bad, it is nothing you did.
It's just once something dies you can't make it live.
You're a beautiful boy.
You're a sweet little kid but I am a woman."
So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet
And I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened me
And since then I've been so good at vanishing
(6) BLACK BALLOON :: the kills
i've stood in a thousand street scenes
just around the corner from you
on the edge of a dream that you have
has anybody ever told you it's not coming true
(7) BAD LOVE :: white lies
if i'm guilty of anything
it's loving you too much
sometimes love means getting a little rough
(8) AUGUSTINE :: patrick wolf
Does it mean that I can never change my ways
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother, or a maid bringing you down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold
And I'm getting old
And is this what it should be
(9) REWRITE :: sia
You don't know me
You can't hold me
I'll slip through your hands
I am one single grain of sand
You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need
(10) WASP NEST :: the national
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You're poison in the pretty glass
(11) PUTTING THE DAMAGE ON :: tori amos
I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
It's just your ghost
Passing through
(12) ONCE WAS LOVE :: ingrid michaelson
I gotta see if I'm filled up when it's only me
It's not your fault but you just can't be here
Now that my heart has gone, now that my heart has gone
Now that my heart has gone
(13) I CAN'T DECIDE :: scissor sisters
Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
(14) PRETTY DOWN TO YOUR BONES :: the hush sound
I whimper, laugh, and cry
There is a murmur of your love inside
When you dress me in the dream you made
I'll be your bargain, be your favorite
But oh, sometimes it hurts
You pluck my nerves
(15) DICE :: finley quaye
I was crying over you
I am smiling, I think of you
Where your garden have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
** because no D/K mix is complete without it tbh
