WAR.

- baela is born of beauty, in a way that looks down to the rest of the world... a beauty like her can only be that, right? enchanting, but no more. but baela is more, she's born of aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love. goddess of lust, fertility, passion. but aphrodite is more, she is infinite. she's aphrodite areia, the warlike, she's aphrodite androphonos, killer of men, she's also anosia, the unholy, and of course, tymborychos, the gravedigger. aphrodite is more, and so is her daughter. because baela will wear her mother's shroud with honor and she'll carry it to war and victory.

or

baela, daughter of aphrodite, takes her stand.

::PLAYLIST::

- alrighty aphrodite / peach pit

' run your morning bath in sea foam
soak your milky skin in the tide
little pearl, you think you're in gold
nut I can see the dirt in your lines
If I'd known you sold on maybe
i'd've let you waste another guy
well, alrighty, aphrodite
go whip that red for other eyes '

- start a war / klergy, valerie broussard

' sail among liars
blame the deniers
if history is dead and gone
then how did we get here, my god?
(my god)
so, you wanna start a war?
in the age of icons?
so, you wanna be immortal?
with a loaded gun? '

- labour / paris paloma

' for somebody I thought was my saviour
you sure make me do a whole lot of labour
the calloused skin on my hands is cracking
if our love ended, would that be a bad thing?
and the silence haunts our bed chamber
you make me do too much labour '

- the end of the world / skeeter davis

' why does the sun go on shining?
why does the sea rush to shore?
don't they know it's the end of the world?
'cause you don't love me any more
why do the birds go on singing?
why do the stars glow above?
don't they know it's the end of the world? '

- too sweet / hozier

' but who wants to live forever, babe?
you treat your mouth as if it's jeaven's gate
the rest of you like you're the tsa
i wish i could go along, babe, don't get me wrong
you know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain
pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape
if you can sit in a barrel, maybe i'll wait '

- heartlines / florence + the machine

' this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
echoes of a city that's long overgrown
your heart is the only place that i call home
can i be returned? you can
you can, we can
just keep following
the heartlines on your hand '

- la fine / måneskin

' digging until you can't feel your fingers
if everyone loves you now
know that it's not the beginning, it's the end
know that it's not the beginning, it's the end
even the prettiest rose has its thorns
maybe the only response is to leave
or to stay and rot '
(english translation)

- war of hearts / ruelle

' i can't help but love you
even though i try not to
i can't help but want you
i know that i'd die without you
i can't help but be wrong in the dark
'cause i'm overcome in this war of hearts
i can't help but want oceans to part
'cause i'm overcome in this war of hearts '

- riptide / vance joy

' oh lady, running down to the riptide
taken away to the dark side
i wanna be your left-hand man
i love you when you're singing that song
and i got a lump in my throat
'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong '

- atlantis / seafret

' i can't save us, my atlantis, oh, no
we built it up to pull it down
now all the birds have fled
the hurt just leaves me scared
losing everything i've ever known
it's all become too much
maybe i'm not built for love
if i knew that i could reach you, i would go '

- if i killed someone for you / alec benjamin

' would you love me more
(would you love me more)
if i killed someone for you?
would you hold my hand?
(would you hold my hand?)
they're the same ones that i used
when i killed someone for you
would you turn me in
(would you turn me in)
when they say i'm on the loose? '

- chemtrails over the country club / lana del rey

' we laugh about nothing as the summer gets cool
it's beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me
i'm not bored or unhappy, i'm still so strange and wild
you're in the wind, i'm in the water
nobody's son, nobody's daughter '

- traitor / olivia rodrigo

' and ain't it funny
how you said you were friends?
now it sure as hell don't look like it
you betrayed me
and i know that you'll never feel sorry
for the way i hurt, yeah '

- brutus / the buttress

' please know my actions are not motivated only by envy
i, too, have a destiny
this death will be art
the people will speak of this day from near and afar
this event will be history, and i'll be great too '
