I OWN NOTHING BUT THOSE SWEET, SWEET VIBES

[dice]

dude the peak of my obsession with this song is very happy with this version

[safiahasan]

so we all just recently became obsessed with this song?

[samfrodo]

me, looking around my empty room after i'm just done listening to this: how are we feeling ladies?? how are we processing this one?

[amphitritemists]

Was this song just randomly recommended to everyone this year because I just discovered a couple months back too and I keep seeing it everywhere now xD

[julestopher]

every gay kid after reading tsoa is now obsessed with this song, i don't make the rules.
but honestly, this is just perfection

[pershe]

Intentionally or unintentionally this is absolutely how it feels like to be schizophrenic (ik experiences differ but at least my case is exactly like that) Imagine you know the people that are taking and with this editing you can actually experience what is like in my head. Thank you this is beautiful and I am close to tears.

[lynx]

Multiple people: Why does this song keep appearing on my recommendations?

Me: Because we keep clicking on it because it's beautiful

Alternate Title: Achilles Come Down but you’re Achilles about to jump from the roof

[sondzlb]

I hope i never get sick of this song, I’ve been listening to it everyday for almost a month now. I just wish I could forget it exists and be able to listen to it for the first time again

[hadtobetherebutyouwerentlol]

could you do Mr. Brightside but you're crying in a bathroom at a party because your crush brought a date the night you were going to confess to them (sorry if the title is too long lol you can cut it down if you want)

[KayKay-odru]

this song is 1000% my hyper fixation of the year and listening to it on full volume with headphones in while crying definitely makes me feel better

[taltzi]

everyone is currently obsessed with this song and i think my song obsession is shifting from romance is boring and the wilbur soot version of i am a familiar creek in your floorboards to this song-

[phoebeboyle]

Achilles
Achilles
Achilles come down, won't you
Get up off
Get up off the roof?
You're scaring us
And all of us
Some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy assed cosmonaut
Remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humour us
Achilles
Achilles come down
Won't you get up off
Get up off the roof
Achilles
Achilles
Achilles come down, won't you
Get up off
Get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless
Nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go
I'm going
So jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on
Achilles
Achilles come down
Won't you get up off
Get up off the roof?
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
Today of all days
See
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Achilles
Achilles
Achilles
Jump now
You are absent of cause
Or excuse
So self-indulgent
And self-referential
No audience could ever want you
You crave the applause
Yet hate the attention
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
It is empty, Achilles
So end it all now
It's a pointless resistance
For you
Achilles
Achilles
Just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion
And wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose
Nor a point for existing
It's all just conjecture and gloom
And there may not be meaning
So find one and seize it
Do not waste your self on this roof
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
See life as a worthy opponent
Today of all days
See
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
You want the acclaim
The mother of mothers (it's not worth it Achilles)
More poignant than fame
Or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles)
But be real and just jump
You dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more
Than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)
You want my opinion (no one asked your opinion)
My opinion you've got
You asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts)
I gave you my thoughts
Be done with this now
And jump off the roof
Can you hear me Achilles?
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
Achilles come down
Achilles come down
Throw yourself into the unknown
With pace and a fury defiant
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
And see life as a means to a triumph
Today of all days
See
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

[philia]

I've never cried of how beautiful is something












I'm crying now.

Imagine

Sitting outside in an empty parking lot, feeling the cool breeze run through your hair, a comfortable cold not enough to freeze, but enough to have a light jacket on, baggy and nice. You sit or lay down on the top of the car and just sit and look up at the stars as this song plays from a nearby building. Lightly singing to yourself in the nice sort of alone that leaves you remembering the night forever and in distinct detail despite it being just an average night. A nice memory to look back on when you need grounding

[suffocatingsquid]

I love how you made the music hard to hear, it's an accurate way to show what it sounds like when you have thoughts running through your head and can't really hear what's going on around you

[shimi]

I've listened to all edits of this song omg I need help-- I'm never getting over TSOA, , ,

[emiquintana]

A good illustration for having nagging thoughts in the back of your head all the time as you move through daily life. Muffled, but still there.

[aegis]

oh my god i just found this song and now you've made a killer edit

[gillsclark]

i don't think you know how MUCH i get excited when I see your new edits and this one is coming RIGHT at the peak of my obsession with this song, god it's just so good, thank you SO much for the continuous content 💚
