This is a bit darker of a playlist than my first Tate/Violet mix was, because I wanted to try to represent how the show has taken these two-how Tate genuinely believes that he’s doing what’s best for her, and how Violet realizes how fucked up his methods of doing so are. Italicized lyrics are Tate’s, normal are Violet’s.
o1. “The Vision” - X-Ray Dog
instrumental
o2. “Conversation 16” - The National {Tate}
I’m a confident liar
Had my head in the oven so you’d know where I’ll be
I’ll try to be more romantic
I want to believe everything you believe
o3. “Lover Dearest” - Marianas Trench {Both; when Vivien and Ben try to get Violet to leave the house}
This place is a hole, but I don’t want to go
I wish we could stay here forever alone
[…]
It hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay
And it might be all right if you go
It hurts me to say that I want you to stay
And it might be all right if you go
o4. “Cellar Door” - Escape the Fate {Tate, after Violet dies in “Piggy Piggy”}
We walk through the doorway, heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom not breathing at all
I drag your body to the cellar where we lay
The wax it melts away; I kiss your face…
Now we are starting to love you more
Your body’s on the canvas I painted on the floor
o5. “The Ghost Who Walks” - Karen Elson {Violet}
The ghost who walks, she is on the prowl
Wanders in the moonlight; she’s crying to herself
Because the eyes never once looked cruel
But the moon in the blade, it shivered like a jewel
She looked at him with pleading eyes
He softly spoke, “My dear, the love has died.”
And then he muffled her deadly cries
Under the moonlight
o6. “There is a Light That Never Goes Out” - The Smiths {Tate; ”You died loved”}
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
o7. “The Little Things Give You Away” - Linkin Park {Violet}
Don’t want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under ground now,
I, now I do
o8. “Love the Way You Lie” - Skylar Grey {Violet}
On the first page of our story, the future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don’t know why I’m still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you’ll always be my hero
Even though you’ve lost your mind
o9. “The Runaway” - Something Corporate {Tate}
If I woke up alone, I won’t stop til I’ll find you
And you are with me
Because by now, I know you better than you know yourself
And I know what you really need
What you need, or I need
But either way, this is where you should be
Here with me, or I’ll bleed
So much that you won’t believe
If you’re missing, I will run away
I will build a path to you
If you’re missing, I will run away
‘Cause I find myself in you
10. ”Remember to Feel Real [Remix]” - Armor for Sleep {Tate}
Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s real when you’re not
‘Cause you know I change myself to impress whoever happens to be next to me
But I’m sick of trying so hard
Waste all your time with me
I know I’m a mess right now
Don’t give up, believe…
I’d wait it out for you
There’s nothing here for me but you
