Time to understand the monster ♚
Medium: Games
Fandom: Metal Gear Solid
Subject: Past mistakes, bromance, angst
Title: Signifier/the signified - { time to understand the monster } A Snake/Otacon mix.
Warnings: None.
Notes: The name, signified/signifier comes from Saussre's proposed language system, where the signifier is that which carries meaning, and the signified is that to which it refers*. I like imagining Philanthropy as the signifier, and ideals that Otacon and Snake carry being the signified, whilst their relationship is the signification that binds the signifier and the signified together. ISN'T THAT ROMANTIC, FFFFU.

✖ The root of all evil Abney Park
is it in our blood
or is it from abuse
past generations
legacy of misuse
we were the victims, we were the culprits
we are the hunted, and we do the hurting
the fathers father father
may have made this truth
or was it in his blood
this legacy of abuse
Snake → Otacon
✖ Vengeance Abney Park
I can feel your life like a fragile thing I can call my own
If I squeeze real tight I can feel right through your neck & bone
I think I have the right for your sins you know you must atone
Would my actions faulter? Would my conscience overrule?
Would I get more pleasure with my bare hands or a tool?
Tell me something

You don't know the the Pseudonyms,

For you.
May be lonelier now but I'm happy alone, honest.
Ain't lonely alone, but what would we talk about anyway,
Bite Hard.
well its a broken smile,
Breaking their hearts and breaking their minds.
Bite Hard.
A survival guide,
Edges and lines and we ride together,
Bite Hard.

✖ Listen Now The Knife
Listen now
I was afraid of everything
Then I straightened my head up
It was the happiest moment for a long long time
Listen now
I am afraid of everything
Some revolutionary
And you will never get a hold
We seek and we will find
Reason to stay alive
The price has never been this low
Otacon ↔ Snake

But I could use your company
Crawl into a mystery
Then I call you
So come inside and be my
Skin and bones

✖ The Curse Disturbed
Marked for demolition, I’m
Just a time bomb, ticking inside
I can see the pieces all laid out in front of me
Too dark for forgiveness, I
Can’t seem to do anything right
When I try to rebuild I see,
My humble shelter just falls to the ground again
Snake → Otacon
✖ Blood Sparklemotion
You clean up so nice.
A gentle face I couldn’t recognize
There’s blood in your eyes
I knew that someone had to pay your price
Shelter, a safe place
I couldn’t find a way to escape
There’s blood on your face
I wish that there could be another way.
A gentle face with a big surprise
There’s blood in your eyes
I knew that I was going to pay the price
Shelter, isn’t safe
Snake ↔ Otacon
✖ Cinder and Smoke Iron and Wine
Give me your hand
And take what you will tonight, I'll give it as fast
And high as the flame will rise
Cinder and smoke
Some whispers around the trees
The juniper bends
As if you were listening
The last mission → for real this time

✖ Haunted Disturbed
You're broken, so am I
I'm better off alone
No one to turn to and nothing to call my own
You're frightened, so am I
Watching the movements and
My blood is cold as ice
Or so I have been told
Show no emotion, and it can destroy your soul
オタコン→スネーク
✖ 破線の標 [ C.G mix ]
大事なこと知らない
つま先 頼りなくて
哀しいこと知らない
叶うと信じた夢
街路樹に揺れて浮かんでいた
夕焼け滲ませてた涙**
Snake ↔ Otacon
✖ The Resistance*** Muse
Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?
Love is our resistance
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
If we live our life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside
