DETAILS
► DOPPELGANGER
Hello, goodbye
I love you, I hate you
Sunset, a light shower
A dear one, a total stranger
I’ve seen it, desire controlled by the past tense,
I give up already, hurry and prove to me what’s real.
I’ll take away your pain.
Hello, goodnight
Crude, elegant
Sunset, a stray cloud
A seed bed, a total stranger
It went away, the poltergeist that took after myself so much
I’ve already decided, to cause disaster and
haunt you.
I’ve seen it, love and hatred filled with a sense of beauty,
I’ve given up, by all means show me
the way to heaven
An upbeat yet spooky song for Oichi's vengeful, demonic side.
download ► WANDERING STAR
Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For it's such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey
Oichi comments in SB3 that "the hole in this heart will never be filled". This song plays up to that aspect of her; she's resigned to feeling awful all the time.
download ► SKIMMING
Even still, I cannot seem to calm my heart
It beats as if it means to squeeze my lungs
It’s all because of you
My two hands, they shake as if I’m bound to fall
If I’ve been this weak, I swear I don’t recall
It’s all because of you
Oichi blames Nobunaga for the way she is now: "If someone gets involved with Ichi, bad things happen to him... Brother... made Ichi like this, right..?"
download ► MONSTER
(instrumental)
The song I use to "get in character" when I RP or write fic of Oichi. A pretty electronic instrumental track.
download ► BLUE LADY
(instrumental)
A gradual track that builds to a beautiful climax. It's poignant with emotion and very beautiful, much like she herself, and also somehow solitary.
"Since the death of her brother and husband, she's been left all alone... I imagine she must be terribly lonely."
download ► ROSA CENTIFOLIA
(instrumental)
A hauntingly beautiful yet sorrowful track with mandolin, violin and piano. It creeps up and swallows you whole. A song for Oichi's despair.
download ► ONE WISH
(instrumental)
A mystical tune with whimsy and a fragile sound to it.
download ► KRAGENEIDECHSE
(instrumental)
A dark electronic track with a sense of dread and doom about it. For Oichi's demonic side.
download ► THE OWL OF WINDWARD
(instrumental)
An eerie, whimsical, disjointed track.
download ► PINK & BLACK
I must confess I feel uneasy
My cheeks weigh heavily
I must confess you've affected me
I need your memory to
Take me out of this world
Take me out of this world
Here we go
I'm gonna make
All this happen
In little steps
In little steps I'll make it closer to
I'm gonna make
All this happen
In little steps
In little steps I'll make it closer to you
I must confess
I've been constructing
To build some feeling
I must confess
Time's affected me
I need new memories to
Take me out of this world
Ieyasu and Oichi. He is patient; he is kind; he is willing; and thus, he is able to help Oichi get better.
download ► KOMORIUTA
The sky is preparing for a busy tomorrow
Tonight you are quietly saying goodbye
Close your eyes and lay yourself to rest
A beautiful lullaby with wind chimes and violin. This is something I can imagine Oichi herself singing.
download ► IF YOU WANT ME
Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can’t tell dreams from truth
for it’s been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely
and the distance causes only silence
I think of you smiling
with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me, satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me, satisfy me
Are you really sure that you’d believe me
when others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
when you know I really try
to be a better one to satisfy you
For you’re everything to me
and I’ll do what you ask me
if you’ll let me be, free
Oichi and Nagamasa.
download ► PARANOID ANDROID
Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...?
What's that...?
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...?
What's that...?
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does....
This choice is the most difficult to explain out of all the tracks; it's a haunting, beautiful melody and Sia's voice goes with the music perfectly. It's a song with disjointed, strange lyrics, and reminds me of Oichi's demonic side very much.
download ► SLEEPY HEAD
I go downstairs, trembling
We are the, we are the monsters of the night
I try so hard to pray them all away
but it's not working tonight
I'm sinking down upon dirty ground
My heart has stopped inside of me
Break my legs to hold me to you;
sulfur breathed into my head
Quiet falling all around me
Fall onto my knees before you
Break the tie that binds me to it
Far away from here
Nobunaga is abusive towards Oichi; he kills her husband and whisks her away to fight for him. He ruins her life casually, without a second thought. I believe that Oichi loves him despite it.
download ► ABANDONER
The other half is somewhere else.
A play in the dark
Whines like dogs
I am restless, I am lost
Time freezes all
Flawless eyes
Your rope you used to tie yourself
dreams into planes
scatter remains
I reach for you, denied your touch
Snow starts to blind, I confide
Another disjointed, strange lyric-ed song with a tone right for Oichi.
