Submit: Lyrics (The Reeling)
The theme for Week 244 is The Reeling by Passion Pit as chosen by katsumeragi, April's Submitter of the month. You may submit two different CLAMP, but they must be from two different series (*see below), provided provided they both feature at least three consecutive words from the following lyrics. You are not allowed to use the repeated text to meet the minimum requirement though, make sure the first three words are different.
*NOTE: If you are submitting two entries then they must both feature imagery from a different series, not the same one, choose another for your second entry. The re-use of the same/a similar character from a crossover series will not count though. Check this post for a list of titles, some gallery links and more information.
The Reeling
Passion Pit
We dug these holes we crawled into
Now they’re my home
Now here I cannot feel the wind
Can’t feel the rain oh no
And I believe in gentle harmony
How I loathe all this obscenity
Is this the way my life has got to be
By a single opportunity
Look at me, oh, look at me
Is this the way I’ve always been
Oh no, oh no
Now I’m dreaming somebody
Would simply come and kidnap me
Oh no, oh no
Everyday I lie awake and pray to God today’s the day
Oh no, oh no
Here I am oh here I am, oh when will someone understand
Oh no, oh no
And all at once I feel this
Oh how it clings to me
It reels and calls me towards it
Confounding destiny
And I can feel the magnets pinch my hands
The more I run the more I am convinced
A girl who loves is like a precious glimpse
Just like we settle in the foggy mist
Look at me, oh, look at me
Is this the way I’ve always been
Oh no, oh no
Now I’m dreaming somebody
Would simply come and kidnap me
Oh no, oh no
Everyday I lie awake and pray to God today’s the day
Oh no, oh no
Here I am oh here I am, oh when will someone understand
Oh no, oh no
Look at me, oh, look at me
Is this the way I’ve always been
Oh no, oh no
Now I’m dreaming somebody
Would simply come and kidnap me
Oh no, oh no
Everyday I lie awake and pray to God today’s the day
Oh no, oh no
Here I am oh here I am, oh when will someone understand
Oh no, oh no
The order counts for the first three words, but afterwards you can take a bit more liberty with the lyrics. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation or letter casing and you may substitute alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text into your icon, though you may use tinytext/brushes provided they're purely decorative and not legiable. Try to keep the required text as readable as possible and remember to check your spelling/wording before submitting as it's easy to make an error.
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for July's Submitter of the Month contest.
Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon, url, series and character names (or object/location description instead, if applicable). Also include any additional information and/or specific resource credits that you may have used.
