better to be hated (than love-love-loved for what you're not); Puck/Quinn, fanmix
DOWNLOAD AND LYRICS UNDER CUT
only the good die young; glee ost
Come on, Virginia, don't make me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late
the walk; imogen heap
no mistakes, no misbehaving
I was doing so well, can we just be friends?
I feel a weakness coming on
it's not meant to be like this
not what I planned at all
treasure; flyleaf
time to wake up from your sleep
refined, I'll become the most dazzling precious treasure
I'll be treasured over all the earth
candy; paolo nutini
I know you've got plenty to offer, baby
but I guess I've taken quite enough
while I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
you're my diamond in the rough
kiss with a fist; florence + the machine
you hit me once, I hit you back
you gave a kick, I gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head,
then I set fire to our bed
long day; matchbox twenty
I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
but no one else would take this shit from me
scream; chris cornell
I said, hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I hear you, I hear you
not about love; fiona apple
it's not about love
because I am not in love the cave; mumford & sons
but I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
but I will hold on hope
and I won't let you choke
on the noose around your neck
and I'll find strength in pain
and I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
little bit; lykke li
hands down, I'm too proud for love
but with eyes shut, it's you I'm thinking of
I think I'm a little bit- little bit- a little bit in love with you
but only if you're a little bit- little bit, little bit, in love with me
ampersand; amanda palmer
has anyone in history said 'sure, you seem so nice, let's get it on'
still I always shock them when I answer' hi, my name's amanda'
and I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand and even if I went with you, I'm not the girl you think I am
contagious chemistry; you me at six
if I could have a minute please,
then I'd bring you to your knees
this contagious chemistry is killing me
i am not a robot; marina & the diamonds
it's okay to say you've got a weak spot
you don't always have to be on top
better to be hated, than love-love-loved for what you're not
you're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
you are not a robot
you're loveable, so loveable
but you're just trouble

But the brief explanation of this fanmix is that it's not based on chronology, events, episodes, traits, whatever: it's based on the idea of push and pull. This what they are to me, anyway. So there's some about the wanting, and some about the not. There's the idea that this can be a game ('not about love'), there's the idea that they're opposites, the idea of ruins and wrecks and promises and goodbyes and understanding and confusion ('the cave', 'the walk'), ; but these are all composites of the notion that two people can be violent and malevolent and still want each other ('kiss with a fist'). That this might be the only way they know how to love. Screwed up and teenage and not entirely sure what it all it was, but wanting it nonetheless. It's not about two wrongs make a right, or how you can love to hate and hate to love. No, this is the wonder that is high school romances. Romance that essentially is defined on self-esteem more than adult relationships. When the world is settled and comfortable, you learn to know yourself outside of that person. No, not in High School. So Quinn defines herself as the good girl tainted, having to rebuild. And Puck is the bad boy who did it; who has Queen Of Cheerios as a notch on his bedpost. ('contagious chemistry', 'only the good die young') Yes, there are feelings. But they have labelled themselves in this way; it makes the other stuff easier to deal with: the fall from grace, the baby, the way the earth has turned in the opposite direction. ('scream')
In the context of this, Quinn is too wrapped up in being this ideal created for her. ('ampersand') Puck is wrapped up in the bad boy image he carved and made for himself; in my head, join me, this is a reaction to being Finn's best friend. You're never going to beat 'Finn-nice-but-dim' in the mother's first choice stakes. No, what you will find is yourself constantly compared: Why can't you be like Finn? Finn's a good boy. And when the girl chooses him, chooses the right path, the right guy, I like how it can twist you, make you want to dirty her up, sully her. And I think Quinn is waiting for someone to do it. And waiting to hate them for doing it. And then there's the conclusion that this makes them intimately attached ('candy', 'treasure'); you don't hate someone and let them see you at your worse.('long day') No, you save that for lovers. ('I am not a robot!', 'little bit')
So, no, it's not really about the idea that these two will work out their differences. There is no learning to grow through the other's words and actions.
It's about the idea that these two work and don't work because of their flaws. She will always be the one he can't get, he will always be the one she doesn't like. One will always be attached to the other.
FANMIX BASED ON TWO THAT DON'T WORK, CHECK.
