What Songs Remind You of Severus Snape and/or His Relationships?
The Alchemist by Karyn Crisis' Gospel Of The Witches
This is Severus after having found his new purpose of protecting Harry and serving Dumbledore
I am no longer the dust, still and lifeless, Waiting to be swept away.
No longer am I cast shadow bending in the candlelight.
Crawling the walls like weighted smoke, I hear those words kept unsaid
and I walk in the worlds of the living and the dead.
My retribution is to glow in the gold that I know I behold
Despite the shadow that my feelings left of old.
Alchemize
The Calcified
Chambers of my heart of my heart.
And the temperance of deep waters, moves through me again.
In this dark dark world, In this dark dark world
They carry me home, carry me home.
AH TAH MAHL KOOT VIH G' BOO RAH VIH G' DOO LAH
In the currents of the waters, and the glistening of the light, in the striated minerals,
I'm learning how to fight. In the angles of the fractals, and the glistening of the light,
in the striated fractals, I'm learning how to to fight.
My retribution is to glow in the gold that I know I behold.
Monster by Imagine Dragons
This is first young outsider Snape, then guilt-ridden Death Eater Severus
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
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
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'
Quote from Crowqueen on July 3, 2024, 7:26 pmHand 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]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 deniedSo 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. :)
