Manfred Bloor character playlist

[glittergloss2004]

SPOILER ALERT: This playlist goes through his whole storyline from beginning to end and some of the songs are pretty on the nose. I know the odds of someone with COTRK on their TBR coming across this are pretty low but hey lol

 

I made a playlist of songs that narrate Manfred Bloor's life chronologically. It ranges pretty dramatically from teenage angst about his family's high expectations to his sense of entitlement, god complex, fear of abandonment, self-perception, demise, etc

Watch on YouTube

 

1. Bastille - Blame

Fall upon your knees, sing, "This is my body and soul here"

Crawl and beg and plead, sing, "You've got the power and control"

Don't pin it all on me

Don't pin it all on me

 

2. Imagine Dragons - Natural

You're a natural

A beating heart of stone

You gotta be so cold

To make it in this world

Yeah, you're a natural

Living your life cutthroat

You gotta be so cold

Yeah, you're a natural

 

3. MARINA - Guilty

I was just a kid

That you could not forgive

Because it's harder

I was just a kid

And all I really wanted

Was my father

 

4. My Chemical Romance - Mama

She said, "you ain't no son of mine

For what you've done they're

Gonna find a place for you

And just you mind your manners when you go

And when you go don't return to me, my love"

5. REI AMI - Dictator

I am not your queen, I'm your dictator

Bend the fucking knee, yeah bitch that was an order

Whatcha say to me? Huh? Bitch speak louder

You know I reign supreme, nah, you can't imitate her

6. Paramore - Idle Worship

Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall

Down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on

What if I fall on my face?

What if I make a mistake?

If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated

 

7. Temposhark - Don't Mess With Me

...all your heads are gonna roll

I've made your misery my goal

So if you want survival, kneel on my arrival

This is how I rule the world

 

8. Sixx: A.M. - This Is Gonna Hurt

Listen up, listen up

There's a devil in the church

Got a bullet in the chamber

And this is gonna hurt

Let it out, let it out

You can scream and you can shout

Keep your secrets in the shadows and you'll be sorry

 

9. Hozier - Arsonist's Lullaby

When I was 16, my senses fooled me

Thought gasoline was on my clothes

I knew that something would always rule me

I knew the scent was mine alone

 

10. The Neighbourhood - Wires

It kills to know that you have been defeated

I see the wires pulling while you're breathing

You knew you had a reason

It killed you like diseases

I can hear it in your voice while your speaking you can't be treated

Mr. Know-it-all had his reign and his fall

At least that's what his brain is telling all

 

11. Crusher-P - Again [Gumi English]

I am on fire

A crying, burning liar

Seeing nothing, nothing, but myself

And I'm the one with the lighter

Every inch of me is charred

God, what happened to my heart?

I'm about to fall apart

Again, again

And you're never coming back

And I'm not okay with that

And I should've never let myself get attached

 

12. Panic! At The Disco - Emperor's New Clothes

Sycophants on velvet sofas

Lavish mansions, vintage wine

I am so much more than royal

Snatch your chain and mace your eyes

If it feels good, tastes good

It must be mine

Heroes always get remembered

But you know legends never die

 

13. Kanye West - Power

No one man should have all that power

The clock's ticking, I just count the hours

Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power

'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours

 

14. Avenged Sevenfold - Welcome to the Family

Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear

Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear

Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself?

You can't win this fight

 

15. Candle Queen [Gumi English]

Hurt by the flames that burn higher and higher

Clutching a broken crown of fire

All alone in the final scene

The one and only candle queen

What a pity, that candle queen...

love this!! even just from these excerpted lyrics, i can tell this storyline is intense. i love the idea of pulling songs for characters; i have done so for breaking bad and a few books that really compelled me. it is a sign of great writing!!!
