Gold and Blood Notes
A small fun selection of lyrics with some notes by me of why I picked each song. This is included in the ZIP file download I made as an extra, but I put them here for prosperity or in case someone can't download the files for whatever reason.
Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5
"How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step, 'cause if I do, you'll need a miracle"
Heard this song in an overall Kamen Rider Dread Fanvid, two of the users are Geryon and Minato so I began to associate this song with them. (And Dread as a whole.) This line also feels very Geryon to me, so it's why I picked it here.
Toxic - Britney Spears
"With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?"
A classic. So I felt it just had to be in this fanmix. This song I like to think of being from Minato's POV, when Geryon still has his hold on him.
Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
"I want your drama, the touch of your hand (Hey)
I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand"
Another classic that was just asking to be a part of this. All the lyrics I love for this, but I chose this selection of Lyrics because sticks out to me because Geryon wears what looks to be some leather.
Numb - Honey Ryder
"Can’t you see what’s going down the chemistry that we have found
Or are you going to let it slip away"
This one I associate with this ship because of a conversation with a friend of mine. The fact "chemistry" is part of the lyrics also helps. :D
Irresistible - Fall Out Boy
"And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible"
I kinda headcanon Minato to be a bit of a masocist lol, also this song is such a banger and overall I felt it was another good fit for the vibe of this fanmix.
Tongues & Teeth - The Crane Wives
"I will only break your pretty things
I will only wring you dry of everything
But if you're fine with that
You can be mine like that"
Now this is a song I imagine entirely from Geryon's POV. Once I listened to this when looking for songs for this fanmix this one instantly clicked for me.
Addicted - Madonna
"You brought me to hell
Watched me burn with the fever that I love so much
You're watching me crawl
You get your kicks, take your fist, put it right through the wall"
So many of the lyrics in this one remind me of the vibe these two have, but I picked this set here because Geryon quite literally ruined Minato's life and enjoyed watching him suffer.
You've Really Got A Hold On Me - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
"You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby"
Once again this is another song that reminds me of the part in the second arc of the show where Geryon still has his grip and power over Minato.
