No. 512


Our favorite bubbly, bright pink theologian, No. 512! Sure, she’s a bit decayed and honestly a bit frightening underneath the surface, but we still love her all the same. Her playlist is a sort of mishmash of darker emo and synthpop tracks mixed in with brighter bubblegrunge notes to best show offer her sweet and sour sides. Her songs also deal heavily with, would you have guessed it, death, dying, and sometimes the opposite.

-D.H.


Oh, my sweet friend

We're all going down to the river's end

And wash our dirty hands clean

In the songs of our loneliest ghost's release

 

Please and thank you, come right in

Now the king will see you

Let your guard down

Slowly, softly, sweetly, slowly

Hot faced, lamb woman

Too quiet to be noticed

Insane, what they all say

Cry hard, you’re not that serious

 

Now I must finish what I started, oh-oh

I'll write a symphony for the departed

And I have no time for second chances

So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances

Oh, now I must finish what I started, oh-oh

 

Do Not Enter's written on the door way

Why can't everyone just go away?

Except you

You can stay

 

And so I made

My fall from grace

I need no mercy

It's not your place

So go ahead

I'll be just fine

You keep your head down

I'll keep down mine

 

Sometimes I think about dying

It's my only way out

The only thing we have in common

That's what I've figured it out

I'm really good at avoiding responsibility

I'm really good at avoiding or grasping mortality

But I think that I'll live forever if I just try

 

Hello, my old heart

How have you been?

Are you still there inside my chest?

I've been so worried, you've been so still

Barely beating at all

 

Tell all my friends that I'm sorry for leading them on

I made ‘em think I was fine, but I knew something was wrong

I thought that time would prove it's all in my head

Now I'm in too deep and alone, and more scared than I've ever been

 

All nightmares start as dreams

And I hear my subconscious screaming

They say that beauty's just skin deep

So naturally, please show me your

Bones, bones, bones, let me see your bones

 

I ain't at home

Home's where I'm going

I close my eyes to see

I'll take my throne, lay it on a mountain

And make myself a king
