Monster by Imagine Dragons
This is first young outsider Snape, then guilt-ridden Death Eater Severus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vJbBda35us

Ever since I could remember
Everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I was never one for pretenders
Everything I tried to be
Just wouldn't settle in (oh, oh, oh, oh)

If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger

Can I clear my conscience
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide? (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made it's home inside (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Demons (Boyce Avenue feat. Jennel Garcia acoustic cover of Imagine Dragon song)
This is Severus and Lily, after Severus became a Death Eater

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DLtzc9KLiw

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all, and the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close, it's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out at the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell-bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

Sanctuary by Welshly Arms
Severus and Lily
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZMOSLBz2WE

When the darkness don't let you sleep
I'ma hold you close
And when space is all you need
I can let you go
And if the spark in your eye goes out
I can be your glow
Bringing you home, yeah
Bringing you home

I see your hurt, I feel your pain
All of our dirt is washed in the rain
I've walked that road, I've felt that shame
No place is home but times, they are changin'

This is our sanctuary
We can find shelter and peace
This is our sanctuary
You are, you are safe with me
This is our sanctuary
We can find shelter and peace
This is our sanctuary
You are, you are safe with me

When the rain starts to take its toll
You can slow me down
'Cause we both know that the world's turned cold
And I just need you now
Keep holding on (hold onto me, hold on)

You'll see my hurt, you'll feel my pain
All of our dirt is washed in the rain
You've walked that road, you felt that shame
No place is home but times, they are changin'

This is our sanctuary
We can find shelter and peace
This is our sanctuary
You are, you are safe with me
This is our sanctuary
We can find shelter and peace
This is our sanctuary
You are, you are safe with me
You are, you are safe with me

We share this hurt, we share the pain
All of our dirt is washed in the rain
We've walked that road, we've felt that shame
Mmh, times, they are changin'

Hand of Sorrow by Within Temptation
This is also a perfect Severus song, and it always touches my heart.
And now I'm going to take it apart [in Brackets]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YncG6cA_pL8

The child without a name grew up to be the hand
[either Dumbledore's or Voldemort's hand]
To watch you, to shield you or kill on demand
[meaning Harry]
The choice he'd made he could not comprehend
[joining the Death Eaters]
His blood a grim secret they had to command
[Sev's blood status/his magical power]

He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
[Lily of course]
He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
[This whole verse is equally about his DE time and his Spy time]
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

The curse of his powers tormented his life
[his fascination with the Dark Arts]
Obeying the crown was a sinister price
[Voldemort/Dumbledore]
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
[vowing to protect Harry/unbreakable vow]

Please forgive me for the sorrow, for leaving you in fear
[This whole verse is Severus talking to Harry; also to Lily?]
For the dreams we had to silence, that's all they'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that serves you
Though you'll not see that it is me

It's nice that so many people post links to Within Temptation here. :)

I thought about this topic even before I jumped onto this thread, and I must say… I think the song that always reminded me of Severus’ and Lily’s situation was Rammstein’s “Nebel” (Fog) and Myslovitz’s “Dla Ciebie” (For You). Very vividly, they do. There’s probably a lot that remind me of them two, because I generally am a sucker for unrequited love themed songs and easily make such associations.

I could do everything for you

Whatever you want - just say
I am capable of a lot, really

I could change everything for you
I could even believe
I am capable of a lot, really

I pick wild flowers for you
Looking for only the rarest
I am capable of a lot, really

Most gladly I’d close you in a cage
Because I love to glance at you
I am capable of a lot, really

This all that I want
This all that I lack
This all that I’ll never have
This all that I want
This all that I lack
This all that I’ll never have
Open your eyes, look yourself
There’s fog ahead of us

I could do everything for you
Whatever you want - just say
I am capable of a lot, really

I fell into deep depression because of you
And already I don’t know who am I
Because I am capable of a lot, really

This all that I want
This all that I lack
This all that I’ll never have
This all that I want
This all that I lack
This all that I’ll never have
Open your eyes, look yourself
Fog ahead of us

I close my eyes
No longer wanting to see, to think
Is it already the end?

It is.

“Nebel (Fog)”

They hug in each others’ arms
Fading into one piece of flesh
Where the shore is the sea’s end
She wants to say something

But her words engulfs the wind
Where the waves end they journey
So he only grabs her hand
She across his forehead places a kiss

Her chest is now filling with twilight
She knows that close is the time
Placing her head across his arms
She whispers quietly “Kiss me yet that one last time”

Where lies sea and land
He kissed her
Her lips fragile and pale
He bid goodbye with heavy tears

Where lies sea and land
He kissed her
Her lips fragile and pale
He bid goodbye with heavy tears

The last kiss so lost in time’s depths
The last kiss
Which he cannot remember

Also sticking with Rammstein, another song that deeply reminds me of his house situation (or rather just the emotions associated with this) is “Meine Tranen” (My tears). Of course the role of the mother’s would be switched for his father in this place, but it gets the point across as well as it still evoked a lot of emotion in me at first due to knowing something in the jist on my own skin.

https://youtu.be/E3aQTyc0fT4?si=2NnS4lRlXKb2BHr7

I still live with my Mom

Now old, but still with her
Even if my sleeves got longer
I’m still her little son
We are lonely, but together
We gladly share our sadness
The house so little, and silence so whole
Often bringing me to its womb

I still live with my Mom
And will probably stay there forever
In this house for long misses a man
I help, as much as I can

My mother doesn’t show me much love
But still gives me a slap
When I cried from time to time
Then she spoke with a smile:

“A true man cries only when dies his mother
Death is strong, your heart is weak
When your own blood and flesh rots
The wise gives in to the dumb”

She couldn’t love also my father
She exiled him from this world
From time to time a quiet scream
And a small litany she chanted

Mother didn’t show him much love
But often gave him a slap
When he cried from time to time
Then she told him with a smile:

“A true man cries only when dies his mother
Death is strong, your heart is weak
When your own blood and flesh rots
The wise gives in to the dumb”

You should be ashamed
Never show your tears
You should be ashamed
Never show your tears
Your tears

Your tears
Your tears

Jeśli już Myslovitz, to pasowałoby także "Chciałbym umrzeć z miłości". 🖤

I can see that, for sure… I think a lot of Myslovitz songs would stick in general. Though now that you mention it, I think a lot of old Polish songs could also stick from Lady Pank, namely „Znowu pada deszcz” to give an example.
