DOROHEDORO / fanmix: HYDRA

TITLE: H Y D R A
FANDOM: dorohedoro
SUBJECT: hole & kaiman & If You Know, You Know. also some undertones about the Curse because i know what i'm about.
WARNINGS: implied spoilers for the whole manga. again, if you know, you know.
NOTES: maaan this was fun but TOUGH! dorohedoro already has such a Sound associated with it thanks to (K)NoW_NAME but i wanted to challenge myself and try to find music that still felt like it suited hole. this took me forever to post partially because what even is the system these days. i guess i am making my own for now.

oh and i stole the cover outright. it's from a selftitled by a southern rock band named hydra who are actually pretty damn good, let me know if you're interested in that too.

dl link will only be up for a few weeks!





TUUNG / bullets
so sweet to lose a friend
you leave the church and taste the air in your lungs
old lies and fireflies
carve angels on your eyes, and all is undone

you whisper prayers into the dark
up to a god in whom you've never believed
you always do
you split the secret up six ways
but it won't make it any easier to see
and now we don't remember

we're catching bullets in our teeth
it's hard to do but they're so sweet
and if they take a couple out
we try to work things out
we're catching bullets with our heads
and hearts and all the darkest parts of us



THE STARLIGHT MINTS / rinky dinky
it sounds like a town but it tastes like a city
you can pick it up 'cause it's not very heavy
but you're too tired to crawl
i don't mind
we all win
i don't care at all

cause you're bringing me down like a sunken ship
usin' my name in a casual quip
swallow my hands and you won't get burned
holdin' me around 'cause you're throwin' me around
and you're taking me down to the dark side of town
you're holdin' me around 'cause you're throwing me around like a-

like a trunk full of treasure
like a broom



THE MOUNTAIN GOATS / lovecraft in brooklyn
woke up afraid of my own shadow
like, genuinely afraid
headed for the pawnshop
to buy myself a switchblade

someday something's coming
from way out beyond the stars
to kill us while we stand here
it'll store our brains in mason jars

and then the girl behind the counter
she asks me how i feel today
i feel like lovecraft in brooklyn



BLACK REBEL MOTORCYLE CLUB / beat the devil's tattoo
there is no peace here
war is never cheap dear
love will never meet here
it just gets sold for parts
you cannot fight it
all the world denies it
open up your eyelids
let your demons run

i thread the needle through
you beat the devil's tattoo



BRONZE RADIO RETURN / everything moves
ramble on, chug along
and if the beat stops thumping man then something's wrong
ignore it son, it's just a song
but i can see your white-knuckled hand from holding on
so lately i, wonder why, we rely, on the sure thing
it's too damn comforting
to stay alive, overdrive, 'til we find, something new
to keep the pulse alive in you
so many angles, so many lines
so many ways to see the sunrise

everything moves, everything pulses
everything lies in the eyes of you
everything moves, everything pulses
everything lies in the eyes of you
everything lies in the eyes of you
in the eyes of you, in the eyes of you

even though i don't know quite what to do
the time will show what we know is hardly ever true
i'd rather have then never had the spinning room
the feeling that i moved
no more standing still at your will, but you can try until you see the motion's moving you



KONGOS / come with me now
afraid to lose control
and caught up in this world
i've wasted time, i've wasted breath
i think i've thought myself to death
i was born without this fear
now only this seems clear
i need to move, i need to fight
i need to lose myself tonight

whoa, come with me now
i'm gonna take you down

i think with my heart and i move with my head
i open my mouth and it's something i've read
i stood at this door before, i'm told
but a part of me knows that i'm growing too old
confused what i thought with something i felt
confuse what i feel with something that's real
i tried to sell my soul last night
funny, he wouldn't even take a bite

far away
i heard him say (come with me now)
don't delay



DOES IT OFFEND YOU YEAH / wondering
must be my greatest triumph
my face lit up by the lightning as i watch all the ravens fly off
in my grave i turn, but what did i die of?
next to the flowers propped up it's my biog
it took a lot to compile
so have a read and see, it's all there is chronological file
rocks fall from the skies
we chant war cries
as we dance round the fire like lord of the flies
they think you need a shrink to relate
but all you need is the strength to throw a sink through the wall and escape
why place a gun up to my head and end all of it?
when I can turn water into wine and then walk on it
germ warfare we've been warned of it
soon kids will take packed lunches and gas masks to school with them
but shit, surely someone should sue someone
holy jihads, batman, someone should do something

wondering
is this there all there is
since i was, since i began to be



JEFF WILLIAMS / fragments
we are just fragments and pieces
we are controlling the game
don't even know our own secrets
when it's all over we all will pay

cover up your eyes now and wait for the darkness
try to fall asleep fast and pay for the blindness
you don't want to see what's growing deep now inside us
what we've all become is just lies and disguises

megatragic, automatic, psycho
let him have it, cost benefit, this means war
stick with it, sphinxed with it
damndest apocalypse shit to the cataclysmic say no more
carry at, must attack, camel back it
till' their body cracks, snap and pop
no hope, no escape, dying is the only fate
give it all you've got till the last man drops

dreams, all have left you
smoke, hides the way
broken, every promise
shadows, you're not there



IAMX / i for an i
if you're not with us, you're against
an i for an i

we owe it to disaster
to the black fire
the anger and enclosure of desire
an i for an i
we owe it to the sex toys
to the icons of our time
humility and touch is in decline
an i for an i

if you're not with us, you're against
an i for an i



PATRICK WOLF / oblivion
(wait a second... have you come so far, for it to end like this?)
no
this is the challenge... i dare you, to take a hold of that darkness from deep down in you)
it's dark
(get back up, what are you so afraid of?)
wait
(get back up!)
okay
and show your face, face to me
show your face, face to me
be you my friend
or enemy
show your face, face to me
i do not fear oblivion
i do not fear oblivion
i said i do not fear oblivion
oblivion, oblivion, oblivion...
