hq + florence & the machine lyrics

[leeseokmin]

i like combining media together because my thinking process is very much about drawing connections/parallels in order to fully comprehend things and i've been consumed by this since i thought of the combination of akaashi + moderation. i also just want to delete the gdoc in my drive but still preserve this somewhere lol. anyway, i've been rotating this for a while... i think some of these (bokuto, hinata) could use tweaking as in there are better quotes out there that suit their arcs/cores but these stand in pretty well atm. i'm particularly attached to akaashi, atsumu, oikawa and ushijima's. any other suggestions fellow florence fan? what about crossing over, is there any other piece of media (film/song/image) that would fit the vibes i'm trying to curate? 

akaashi
want me to love you in moderation//do i look moderate to you? (moderation)

atsumu
you need a big god//big enough to hold your love//big enough to fill you up (big god)

bokuto

i feel nervous in a way that can't be named// i dreamt last night of a sign that read "the end of love" (the end of love)
hinata
if you could only see the beast you've made of me//i held it in but now it seems you've set it running free (howl)

iwaizumi
this is the only thing I've ever had any faith in//grace, I know you carry us//grace, and it was such a mess//grace, I don't say it enough//grace, you are so loved (grace)

kageyama
& oh, poor atlas//the world's a beast of a burden/you've been holding on a long time//& all this longing (what the water gave me)

oikawa
& with one kiss//you inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years//what kind of man loves like this? (what kind of man)

osamu
at seventeen, i started to starve myself//i thought that love was a kind of emptiness//& at least i understood then, the hunger i felt (hunger)

sakusa
my love has concrete feet//my love's an iron ball//wrapped around your ankles//over the waterfall (heavy in your arms)

ushijima
holy water cannot help you now//see i've had to burn your kingdom down//& no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out//i'm gonna raise the stakes, i'm gonna smoke you out (seven devils)

oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhh the ushijima one???? i also love kageyama and iwaoi!!! thinking about other florence lyrics for hinata and: I'm not scared to jump / I'm not scared to fall / If there was nowhere to land / I wouldn't be scared / At all. fits in my head, but the song as a whole doesn't really work? anyway thank you!!! i will be thinking about the ushijima and iwaizumi ones especially for a while

i think the combination of ushijima & sakusa's in general is even sexier when you think about it, i intentionally did go in a direction of complementing songs for them. in complements, while not the lines i chose, it would go
sakusa: this will be my last confession//i love you, never felt like any blessing, oh//whispering like it's a secret//only to condemn the one who hears it//with a heavy heart
ushijima: you can't keep it out//it's coming through the walls//to devastate your heart//& to take your soul//for what has been done//cannot be undone//in the eagle's eye//in the evensong
and i did consider falling for hinata because of the general motifs but went with howl just because i think there's a particular edge of hunger in his desire to be good you know... and also "m fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in//you are the moon that breaks the night for which i have to howl" is very symbolic to his relationships with other setters imo, namely kageyama and atsumu like
hinata: with kageyama by my side i don't have to worry
atsumu : let's give them a proper hello

[latespring]

the edge to hinata's desire is one of my favorite things about his character!!!! howl really fits that well

also i haven't traveled to sakuushi land before but every day you convince me a little more to go there

DIA. SHAKES YOU.
