Songs particularly suited to different quadrants. Got any? Gimme Gimme! (This post for master-list) Diamonds Clubs Spades Hearts
Flagrant moirallegiance songs: Pale September by Fiona Apple And all my armour Falling down In a pile at my feet And my winter giving Way to warm As I'm singing him to sleep Disarm You by Kaskade Let me absolve you Of the past that controls you I just wanna know what you look like Without a weight on your soul Soldier of Love by Pearl Jam (orig. The Beatles, and that version is awesome too) Lay down your arms and surrender to me. Oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea. Use your arms for squeezing and pleasing the one that loves you so. Oh there ain't no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so. So forget the other boys because my love is real. Come off your battlefield.
Kismessitude Songs Eye of the Tiger by Survivor It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival Figured You Out by Nickelback I like the freckles on your chest And I like the way you like me best And I like the way you're not impressed While you put me to the test I like the white stains on your dress Baby One More Time by Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa Don't you know I still believe That you will be here And give me a sign Hit me baby one more time Closer by Nine Inch Nails (Or maybe you prefer the fun, sorta blues-y Maroon 5 cover? ) You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else And put here because I seriously have no auspistism songs and my club breaks, a kismessitude that really needs a third leaf: One More Night by Maroon 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwK7ggA3-bU You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war. You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door. You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score. You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.
Oh hell yes, I love quadrant songs :D Here are a few from a playlist i'm listening to. These both strike me as songs about a pale-to-black flip/breakup caused by the singer flipping black: Now you'll never see What you've done to me You can take back your memories They're no good to me And here's all your lies You can't look me in the eyes With the sad, sad look That you wear so well Not gonna miss you when you're dead and gone Not gonna talk about you over and over and over Not gonna file you under latest nostalgia Or happily ever after Not gonna listen to your played-out songs Don't wanna think about you over and over and over Not gonna read about the latest fads on your trendy blog I want nothing to do with that Cause you've made a mess of everything (And I'm not listening) And this could be a pale seduction song of the ~oooh look how out of control I am~~ type. Or wait no it could totally be an ashen song from a troublemaking auspisticee to their middle leaf! Don't tell me if I'm bad Cause I don't no excuses So don't be serious You could have been persuaded I want the key to your heart (to your heart) And you've known from the start (from the start) And if the smile comes it won't be the last (be the last) But I've got a little problem that I can't seem to solve My bad behaviour, my bad behaviour, I told you I was troubled with My bad behaviour
Another spade song, this playlist sure is full of them: Power and control, I’m gonna make you fall. Power and control, I’m gonna make you fall. I’m gonna make you fall, We give and take a little more, ‘Cause all my life I’ve been controlled, You can’t have peace without a war, Without a war, without a war. An ashen one: Thirty five People couldn't count On two hands the amount of times you made me stop Stop and think why are you being such a dickhead for Stop being a dickhead, Why are you being a dickhead for You're just fucking up situations Ashen: You've no respect You see it, you grab it You've got yourself A very bad habit You know you're on soft ground You'd better look around One wrong step and that's all You're gonna stumble and fall. Ashen I think? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was right all along Yeah, yeah, yeah, you come taggin' along Yeah, exhibit A, on the tray, what you say? As I throw it in your face Yeah, exhibit B, what you see? Well that's me, I put it back in your place Yeah, I done it before and I can do it some more So what you waiting for?
Pale, maybe unrequited or post-breakup? There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you While the world is watching All you need is the thing you forgotten And that's to learn to live with what you are Very pale: Settle down, it'll all be clear Don't pay no mind to the demons They fill you with fear The trouble—it might drag you down If you get lost, you can always be found Just know you're not alone 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home I know most love songs are red anyway so there may not be a point in including them here, but this one seemed very flushed to me rather than just romantic: And I never lived at all until the thrill Of that moment when my heart stood still Either flushed or pale: I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky You will see your beauty every moment that you rise And now I'm cutting myself off before I spend all night on this.
some pale songs: maybe spades: (spades is tricky for me 'cause most spadesy songs seem to portray as kinda undesirable, like it's just flushed gone wrong or something. and well, i don't think spades should be or is like that. not for trolls, anyway. but yeah, i think this song doesn't have that problem.)
this one seems like a combination of pale, flushed and ashen, kinda: like angelica essentially ashened herself out of a relationship with hamilton (who is she is flushed and pale for, i think) to help eliza (who is she is pale for)
pale: (i'm honestly surprised by how much i like pale. i reckon that might be the result of the weirdmageddon tango rp, since i think it has lead me to grokk quadrants much better than actually reading homestuck did. i dunno why, maybe 'cause i'm actually part of it and 'cause of the ooc commentary involved in it. and 'cause multiple characters have explained quadrants in it, multiple times.)
i don't know if trolls would actually do this since they seem to like keeping their quadrants separated, but this song seems to me like a partner in a flushed relationship asking to put more pale in it, while still keeping it flushed (eliza towards hamilton):
and i think this song reads to me as kismesises (burr and hamilton) trying to understand each other and push each other to be better: and of course, burr and hamilton's notions of better conflict like whoa... but yeah, this is one of the few moments when one of them actually asks the other for help, which makes me think it is a time when their spades was at least close to being functional.
Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes by Bowman has always struck me as more concupiscient than consummate; luckily, that seems to be precisely what this thread is looking for.
(NSFW lyrics in this one) Spades: Could just be obsessive hate but it doesn't feel like it to me, there's passion in there, and "you turn my hatred into something beautiful".
(I've always thought that 'I Can't Decide' sounds like an ashen breakup song? Like the middle leaf is gone and now the pitch will destroy them both ^^;;) A couple more pitch songs - (this one is so spade-eyes-pitch I CAN'T XD) An ashen one - And a couple really pale - I'll stop now I promise but quadrant songs are ABSOLUTELY MY JAM :D
