Wire in the Blood: Imitosis [Mix]
Wire in the Blood, a Tony/Carol mix. This is what happens when pairings eat your brain, kids.
Eleven tracks, lyrics and cover, under the cut:
Tony and Carol and their chemical equation: one part attraction to two parts denial, back and forth and back again, until they find the balance; the truth as black and white as a flock of starlings against the winter sky. Need is stronger than fear, in the end. Love is stronger than habit. We all have our hinterlands, but some boundaries are meant to be crossed. Say the magic words: I want, and hear them spoken back.
Or:
Prufrock, your mermaid is calling. Please answer.
Tracks:
academia - sia
i'm greater than x and lesser than y
so why is it that i still can't catch your eye?
you're a cryptic crossword, a song i've never heard
while i sit here drawing circles i'm afraid of being hurt
imitosis - andrew bird
it was then he heard his intuition say:
we were all basically alone
and despite what all his studies had shown
that what's mistaken for closeness is just a case of mitosis
and why do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
well, tell me, doctor, can you quantify?
don't deconstruct - rilo kiley
don't deconstruct and then fill me in
i'm not that basic, i swear
i've had enough of breakdowns and diagrams
secret meeting - the national
and so and now i'm sorry i missed you
i had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
pavlov's bell - aimee mann
i won't let it show
i'm all about denial
but can't denial let me believe
that we could talk about it
but we can't talk about it
starlings - elbow
i sat you down and told you how
the truest love that's ever found
is for oneself
you pulled apart my theory
with a weary and disinterested sigh
snakes and ladders - basia bulat
threw away the cards
who thinks it could matter?
who believes in fate anyway?
when only you could be the one
to win out over me
mermaid blues - tom mcrae
come with me
for alone i fear the tide
it's calling me and dragging me and i think it's time
night terror - laura marling
i woke up and he was screaming
i'd left him dreaming
i'll roll over and shake him tightly
and whisper: "if they want you, they're gonna have to fight me"
maps - rogue wave
wait
they don't love you like i love you
heart - stars
all right, i'll say what you want me to
(give me more)
all right, i'll do all the things you do
(i want more from you)
all right, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you
