Don't Cry, Child: A Tokyo Babylon Fanmix
TITLE: Don't Cry, Child
SUBJECT: Tokyo Babylon
NOTES: So I meant for this to be a general series FST, but the songs I ended up choosing were more like... volume 5 and onwards. And mostly post-series (before X). AKA, lots of angsty songs and Subaru's denial. In any case, I hope you enjoy! I belatedly realize the covers are different sizes, but I am too lazy to fix that.
01. A Dangerous Mind by Within Temptation
(Hokuto → Seishirou)
"I fear that soon you'll reveal
Your dangerous mind.
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I fear your smile and the promise inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside."
02. Difficulty by KT Tunstall
(Hokuto → Subaru)
"Isn't much more I can do for you.
Isn't much more that I can try.
Twisting myself into shapes
To stop you crying.
What'll I do if I lose you?
What'll I do if I lose?
Difficulty is coming my way,
Coming my way."
03. Dull Life by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
(Hokuto → Seishirou)
"We see the nightmare of the lies that you speak.
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in.
We see the nightmare of the lies that you speak.
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in.
Know my soul.
Know my soul."
04. Human by Goldfrapp
(Seishirou)
"They fall, from your mouth.
Propelled by your belly and your tongue,
I shiver when you shake, and I fold into jelly.
I think I loved you more than me.
Are you human, or a dud?
Are you human
Or d'you make it up?
My baby cherry slipped,
Pass me through your fingertips.
Throw me down like an old rag.
I'm not standing, don't look back."
05. Yr Mangled Heart by The Gossip
(Seishirou/Subaru)
"If everything you do has got a hold on me
Then everything I do has got a hole in it.
I've been here before, I should be used to it...
But I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more."
06. Failure by Laura Marling
(Hokuto → Subaru)
"Don't cry, child, you've got so much more to live for.
Don't cry, child, you've got something I would die for.
And if it comes to the rain, just be glad you'll smile again.
'cause so many don't."
07. Intervention by Arcade Fire
(Subaru → his delusion)
"Working for the Church while your family dies.
You take what they give you and you keep it inside.
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home."
08. Haunted by Poe
(Subaru)
"And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated.
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken.
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head.
Hallways... always.
I'll always love you.
I'll always need you.
I'll always want you.
And I will always miss you."
09. Is There a Ghost by Band of Horses
(Subaru → Hokuto)
"I could sleep.
I could sleep.
I could sleep.
I could sleep.
When I lived alone
Is there a ghost in my house?"
10. Death to Death by Stars
(Seishirou → Subaru)
"I am destroyer. I am lover.
I am destroyer. I am lover.
I love one thing, destroy the other."
11. Between by Vienna Teng
(Subaru + Seishirou + Hokuto)
"We are not together here
Though we lie entwined
To make room for the other presence
We both draw back in our minds
I have a prophecy
Threatening to spill into words
This growing certainty
Of Over."
12. Tymps by Fiona Apple
(Subaru → his delusion Seishirou)
"So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last Friday night
And keep on letting him change all my plans
I'm either so sick in the head
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope that's it."
13. Keep Me in Your Pocket by Charlotte Martin
(Subaru → his masochism Seishirou)
"I want wanna be your cigarette.
I want wanna be your black jack best.
I want wanna be that sweater.
It won't make this seem much better.
Sink your
Teeth into the taste of me and
Squeeze hard
Till we can feel me splitting and you
Want more
And I want more you know I want it more.
Push me deep into your English channel.
Your palm sweat-it isn't all that I can handle.
I love you. We have an understanding-natural.
Please baby keep me in your pocket."
14. Breath by Breaking Benjamin
(Subaru → his masochism Seishirou)
"You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.
Is it over yet? Let me in."
15. The Good & The Bad Guy by My Brightest Diamond
(Subaru → Seishirou)
"Sometimes, when I tell the story of you
I make you out to be the bad guy.
And though it's true
Sometimes you're the bad guy...
You're still mine.
[...]
You made like a fool.
You made like a fool, but you're still mine.
And I want you.
I want you.
I do."
