[mix] days we were invincible

[rhodochrosite]

this is a rikkai mix i made last august but upon reflection it's really just a yukiaka mix... what can i say i love fallen powerhouses and mentorships fraught with the recognition of self via the other and legacies that amount to nothing 🥲



days we were still invincible

常勝

i. i feel separated - cristobal tapia de veer
[instrumental]

ii. long to live - metric
when you gave what i gave up / fake what i figured // all the while / haven't got long to live

iii. blumenkranz - cyua
i want to become stronger / because our world is very cruel / it is advisable to remove withered flowers // you are very strong / you bind a flower wreath / why do you look so sad?

iv. flickers - son lux
and with my opened mouth / i join the singing light // lift me up, lift me over it

v. sing like a wire - sleigh bells
singing like a hunter, shaking, i go wild / burning brightly, i can see you by the fire // by the middle of july you were buried in the dirt

vi. never say die - chvrches
wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true? // weren't we gonna be honest and weren't we gonna be more?

vii. wild time - weyes blood
love, pain, loving you / everyone knows you just did what you had to / burning much more than ever before

viii. hit me where it hurts - caroline polachek
if i'm already out of time, then make it worse / go on and hit me in the heart

ix. glory - wye oak
i read his lips and i see glory / but what i hear is 'be afraid'

x. sane - fear of men
i'm a monument to myself / i see you drowning / half flesh, half stone / with ambitions that drain your health // you recreate me

xi. harsh realm - widowspeak

i knew you in the harsh realm // i thought about you because i always think about you

xii. fortunes - metric
stay to soften the blow / hand over fist // i do expect fortunes to fall // it's too late to leave

xiii. nothing for free - pendulum
we're dying on our own soil / calling your friends up to the teeth / there's nothing for you, nothing for me

xiv. alternate world - son lux
we'll brace for it / and conquer everything // alternate world / alternate age / alternate life

xv. monumental glow - holychild
the monuments will show / we were meant for so much better / betraying all the glow / heavenly and held forever

xvi. this isn't our parade - santigold
this time i'll come first / i saw you standing // i can hear you calling / know you won't understand / but i'm near you now

xvii. even in the tremor - lady lamb

the past will kill the present if i let it // the future kills the present if i let it // if every head is a world, i don't want to / be a destroyer of all things // when i'm crawling towards a night that i'm convinced was / golden and glowing

xviii. now or never now - metric
take the remorse out of defeat / because everything that's under my skin / where i end and begin / still belongs to me

xix. fight like gods - chelsea wolfe
what happens when the dream is better than the waking? / what happens when we don't dread our own body breaking?

xx. roseate - ioanna gika
new designs / grew ten stories high, and i / saw angels from the highest height / i almost touched them, but not quite

xxi. baptism by fire - sleigh bells
when you love something so much / almost nothing can't go wrong // when your dream is made of everything you're afraid of // when you're focused, you could put a laser to shame / but you forgot about the rules of the game

xxii. ending start - metric

all this that is more than a wish is a memory // the obvious door opens nothing // how endings start

xxiii. to you all kids will come - cristobal tapia de veer
