Tunes About Tulpas


Recommended Posts

Well, in unofficial closing, I'll whip out the last of my contributions — an almost unbearably camp 80s pop tune with an undeniably relevant theme that has been waiting for its moment of glory...

 

Richard Sanderson - Reality

 

(Or, if you prefer intentionally camp...)

 

[video=youtube]

Met you by surprise

I didn't realize

That my life would change

Forever

Saw you standing there

I didn't know I cared

There was something special in the air

 

Dreams are my reality

The only kind of real fantasy

Illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

It seems as if it's meant to be

 

Dreams are my reality

A different kind of reality

I dream of loving in the night

And loving seems all right

Although it's only fantasy

 

If you do exist

Honey, don't resist

Show me a new way of loving

Tell me that it's true

Show me what to do

I feel something special about you

 

Dreams are my reality

The only kind of reality

Maybe my foolishness is past

And may now at last

I'll see how the real thing can be

 

Dreams are my reality

A wondrous world where I like to be

I dream of holding you all night

And holding you seems right

Perhaps that's my reality

 

Met you by surprise

I didn't realize

That my life would change forever

Tell me that it's true

Feelings that are new

I feel something special about you

 

Dreams are my reality

A wondrous world where I like to be

Illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

Although it's only fantasy

 

Dreams are my reality

I like to dream of you close to me

I dream of loving in the night

And loving you seems right

Perhaps that's my reality

As an aside, Massive Attack's

deserves at least honorable mention for a few of its lyrical lines:

 

So no longer pretend

That you can't feel it near

That tickle on your hand

That tingle in your ear

Oh ask it anything

Because it loves you dear

It's your most precious king

If only you could hear

 

I'm going to need to listen to them, because honestly I've only ever heard two of them.

 

That's quite the undertaking.

 

'Imaginary Friend' is (so far) the uncontested, whimsical anthem of all things 'tulpa,' but it's kind of a show-stealer. I almost want to omit it.

 

Though I find it interesting the interpretations people have of "She's not There". To me, it always seemed to be describing an "imaginary" person.

 

To me, the message seems to be about a man enamored with a notoriously flaky woman who has fled from his life. In the aftermath, he feels wronged by all the au courant people who could have informed him of her impetuous disposition.

 

But taken out of the original context and bathed in the light of an immaterial and unobtainable daydream, it could definitely work.

Alright, here goes:

 

"As You Go" - RED

 

[video=youtube]

 

[align=center]Darkness creeps into daylight

You're leaving

Treasures hidden in our mind

The memories

The time we had was fleeting

The strength is just believing now

 

The world I know can hate you

The world I know can break you

But as you go remember, I'm by your side

The love within you can heal these tears that burn

And through it all remember, I'm by your side

As you go

 

Bittersweet the dreams we made

We're so young

We thought that this could never end

Don't be afraid

Never stop believing

You'll find a new beginning now

 

The world I know can hate you

The world I know can break you

But as you go remember, I'm by your side

The love within you can heal these tears that burn

And through it all remember, I'm by your side

As you go

 

I will never let you go

As you go, I will never let you go

 

The world I know can hate you

The world I know can break you

But as you go remember, I'm by your side

The love within you can heal these tears that burn

And through it all remember, I'm by your side [/align]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[align=center]"Hymn For The Missing" - RED

 

I tried to walk together

But the night was growing dark

Thought you were beside me

But I reached and you were gone

Sometimes I hear you calling

From some lost and distant shore

I hear you crying softly for the way it was before

 

Where are you now?

Are you lost?

Will I find you again?

Are you alone?

Are you afraid?

Are you searching for me?

Why did you go? I had to stay

Now I'm reaching for you

Will you wait? will you wait?

Will I see you again?

 

You took it with you when you left

These scars are just a trace

Now it wanders lost and wounded

This heart that I misplaced

 

Where are you now?

Are you lost?

Will I find you again?

Are you alone?

Are you afraid?

Are you searching for me?

Why did you go? I had to stay

Now I'm reaching for you

Will you wait? will you wait?

Will I see you again? [/align]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[align=center]"Breathe Into Me"

 

[video=youtube]

 

And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me

And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you

And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore

And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me

 

Breathe your life into me

I can feel you

I'm falling, falling faster

Breathe your life into me

I still need you

I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me

Breathe into me

 

And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge

And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground

And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain

And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away

 

Breathe your life into me

I can feel you

I'm falling, falling faster

Breathe your life into me

I still need you

I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me

Breathe into me

Breathe into me

Breathe into me

 

Breathe your life into me

I can feel you

I'm falling, falling faster

Breathe your life into me

I still need you

I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me

 

Breathe your life into me!

I'm falling, falling faster

Breathe your life into me!

falling, falling, falling

Breathe into me

Breathe into me

Breathe into me

Breathe into me [/align]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[align=center]"Hold Me Now - RED"

 

[video=youtube]

 

"Hold Me Now"

 

Fall asleep to dreams of home,

Where the waves are crashing.

The only place I've ever known,

Now the future has me.

I see the fire in the sky,

See it all around me.

I said the past is dead, the life I had is gone.

Said I won't give up,

Until I see the sun

 

Hold me now,

'Til the fear is leaving,

I am barely breathing.

 

Waking up and letting go,

To the sound of angels.

Am I alive or just a ghost?

Haunted by my sorrows.

Hope is slipping through my hands,

Gravity is taking hold.

Said I'm not afraid, that I am brave enough.

I will not give up,

Until I see the sun.

 

Hold me now,

'Til the fear is leaving,

I am barely breathing.

Crying out,

These tired wings are falling,

I need you to catch me.

 

As I burn,

As I break,

I can't take it anymore.

I return to the place,

Where the water covers over everything.

Rescue me some how.

 

Hold me now,

'Til the fear is leaving,

I am barely breathing.

Crying out.

These tired wings are falling,

I need you to catch me.

Hold me now,

'Til the fear is leaving,

I am barely breathing.

"Not Alone - RED"

[video=youtube]

 

Slowly fading away

You're lost and so afraid

Where is the hope in a world so cold?

Looking for a distant light

Someone who could save a life

You're living in fear that no one will hear your cries

Can you save me now?

 

I am with you

I will carry you through it all

I won't leave you, I will catch you

When you feel like letting go

'Cause you're not, you're not alone

 

Your heart is full of broken dreams

Just a fading memory

And everything's gone but the pain carries on

Lost in the rain again

When will it ever end?

The arms of relief seem so out of reach

But I, I am here

 

I am with you

I will carry you through it all

I won't leave you, I will catch you

When you feel like letting go

'Cause you're not, you're not alone

 

And I'll be your hope when you feel like it's over

And I will pick you up when your whole world shatters

And when you're finally in my arms

Look up and see love has a face

 

I am with you

I will carry you through it all

I won't leave you, I will catch you

When you feel like letting go

'Cause you're not, you're not alone

 

And I will be your hope

You're not alone

And I will pick you up

And I will be your hope

And I will be your hope

 

Slowly fading away

You're lost and so afraid

Where is the hope in a world so cold

"Pieces - RED"

[video=youtube]

 

 

I'm here again

A thousand miles away from you

A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am

I tried so hard

Thought I could do this on my own

I've lost so much along the way

 

Then I see your face

I know I'm finally yours

I find everything I thought I lost before

You call my name

I come to you in pieces

So you can make me whole

 

I've come undone

But you make sense of who I am

Like puzzle pieces in your hand,

 

Then I see your face

I know I'm finally yours

I find everything I thought I lost before

You call my name

I come to you in pieces

So you can make me whole!

 

I tried so hard! So hard!

I tried so hard!

 

Then I see your face

I know I'm finally yours

I find everything I thought I lost before

You call my name

I come to you in pieces

So you can make me whole

So you can make me whole [/align]

 

 

 

[align=center]"Lost - RED"

 

[video=youtube]

 

Can I be dreaming once again?

I'm reaching helpless I descend

You lead me deeper through this maze

I'm not afraid

 

I'm lost in you everywhere I run

Everywhere I turn I'm finding something new

Lost in you, something I can't fight

I cannot escape

I could spend my life lost in you! Lost in you!

 

Your whispers fill these empty halls

I'm searching for you as you call

I'm racing, chasing after you

I need you more

 

I'm lost in you everywhere I run

Everywhere I turn I'm finding something new

Lost in you, something I can't fight

I cannot escape

I could spend my life lost in you!

 

I could never be the same

Something that I never could erase

I could never look away

I lost myself in you!

It's all over now!

 

Lost in you! Everywhere I run

Lost in you! Everywhere I run!

Lost in you!

Lost in you!

 

 

 

[/align]

 

 

 

[align=center]"Fight Inside - RED"

 

[video=youtube]

 

[VERSE 1]

Enemy, familiar friend

My beginning and my end.

Knowing truth, whispering lies

And it hurts again.

 

What I fear and what I've tried,

Words I say and what I hide.

All the pain, I want it to end

But I want it again.

 

[CHORUS 1]

And it finds me

The fight inside is coursing through my veins.

And it's raging

The fight inside is breaking me again.

 

[VERSE 2]

I'm still the same, pursuing pain.

Is it worth all that I've gained?

We both know how this will end,

But I'd do it again.

 

[CHORUS 2]

And it finds me

The fight inside is coursing through my veins.

And it's raging

The fight inside is hurting me again.

 

And it finds me

The war within me pulls me under.

And without You

The fight inside is breaking me again.

 

[bRIDGE]

(It's nothing.) It's everything.

(It's nothing.) It's everything.

(It's nothing.) It's everything.

(It's nothing.) It's everything.

 

[CHORUS 2]

 

It's breaking me.

It's breaking me.

 

I'm falling apart.

I'm falling apart. [/align]

EMINEM - The Monster

 

[video=youtube]

 

"The Monster"

(feat. Rihanna)

 

[Hook - Rihanna:]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

 

[Verse 1 - Eminem:]

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

Oh, well, guess beggars can't be choosey

Wanted to receive attention for my music

Wanted to be left alone in public. Excuse me

For wanting my cake and eat it too, and wanting it both ways

Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated

When I blew; see, but it was confusing

'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (wooh!)

Hit the lottery, oh wee

With what I gave up to get was bittersweet

It was like winning a used me

Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

'Cause I'm

 

[Hook - Rihanna:]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

 

Well, that's nothing*

Well, that's nothing

 

[Verse 2 - Eminem:]

No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me

To seize the moment and don't squander it

'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow

So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?

It's no wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders)

Yo-lo-lo-lo-yee-whoo

I think you've been wandering off down yonder

And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen

'Cause I need an interventionist

To intervene between me and this monster

And save me from myself and all this conflict

'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer it

My OCD is conking me in the head

Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking

I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the

 

[Hook - Rihanna:]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

 

Well, that's nothing

Well, that's nothing

 

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Call me crazy, but I had this vision

One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian

But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at

MCs, blood get spilled and I

Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track

Give every kid who got played that

Pumped up feeling and shit to say back

To the kids who played 'em

I ain't here to save the fucking children

But if one kid out of a hundred million

Who are going through a struggle feels and then relates that's great

It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back

In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that

Straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack

Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts

I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that

It's nothing, I'm still friends with the

 

[Hook - Rihanna:]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

[x2]

 

Well, that's nothing

Well, that's nothing

 

[* Rihanna confirmed on her Instagram that the lyric is "nothing" though many hear "not fair" here.]

I have one if it's not too late!

 

Zeromancer- "Hollywood"

 

It's the real thing

Safety's off, are you there

Are you there for me by my side

An angel who dodge the bullets wide

 

It feels right on a beach when you talk

You talk without a sound

And when you walk

Your feet hardly touch the ground

 

But you're there by my side

But you're there for me

 

When all this is over

Heaven knows I'm going nowhere

I was only dreaming

Censored for a deeper meaning

 

It wears off like lipstick on your skin

Like a day that won't begin

Waking up you can't remember

Where you've been

 

But you're there by my side

But you're there for me

 

When all this is over

Heaven knows I'm going nowhere

I was only dreaming

Censored for a deeper meaning

 

When all this is over

Heaven knows I'm going nowhere

I was only dreaming

Censored for a deeper meaning

 

But you're there by my side

But you're there for me

 

It's time we get things straight

Are you there?

Are you there for me, back for good?

It's 6 A.M. in Hollywood

 

When all this is over

Heaven knows I'm going nowhere

I was only dreaming

Censored for a deeper meaning

 

When all this is over

Heaven knows I'm going nowhere

I was only dreaming

Censored for a deeper meaning

 

You'll have to listen to it here because it's not on Youtube or anything...

Completely forgot about this, which is a damn crying shame. However, the video is part and parcel, and it's worth a full-screen viewing.

 

Absolutely devastatingly gorgeous for anyone with a wasteland paracosm and a constant battle with doubt:

Lol, Ravi/Anmol (ne might change nir name but will answer to either at the moment)'s song is "Chikni Chameli" because it just reminds me of nem and ne's super good at dancing to it :3

 

Amany's is Munni Badnaam Hui (if you look up a translation it totally describes him).

 

Farzam's is Ghanan Ghanan (from Water), because we used to dance to this together before he ran away for three years -- he's back now though.

 

Shahran's is Nigori Man (with the Man pronounced as 'mah-n') because he likes Tajik music.

~~Guide to Ravi's pronouns~~

 

Ne- used like He

Nem- used like Him/Her

Nir- used like His/Her (as in "His friend is fun")

Nirs- used like His/Hers (as in "It is hers")

Nemself- used like Himself/Herself

Snow Patrol - Run

 

I'm on mobile, so I'll just write the parts I think fit best:

 

"Even if you cannot hear my voice,

I'll be right beside you, dear."

 

"Slower, slower.

We don't have time for that.

All I want's to find an easier way

To get out of our little heads." (This verse is in the full song, but not the music video)

 

Edit: Here's the video:

I imagine the lyrics are sung from the perspective of an animus tulpa. Any other relevance should be self evident:

 

Dub FX - Fly With Me

[video=youtube]

Rest your head now little girl

You’re on your way now

Open your mind up to the sky

And fly away now

You’ve got nothing to prove

No one to hurt you

You got no one to pull you down push you around

Make you frown and cry

You are alone now

 

Waking up every day with a beam of the moonlight in my eye

Stimulate my consciousness with the focus of my mind

I’ve got to take myself back to the feeling of eternally breaking free

Knowing that my body’s motionless and still asleep

 

So fly with me

There’s a whole sky to see

I’m taking your mind with me

Into lucidity

Flying in unity

Could be normality

What you perceive to be

Is your reality

 

Reality is the concrete of our minds

Our own cities where the conscious streets unwind

In the centre of your world you have your sense of gravity

Just lay your head and put your eyes at ease

Create your life and the world that you perceive

In the centre of this world you have your own imaginary planetary universe

Fly with me…

And a few others:

 

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

[video=youtube]

"If I lay here,

If I just lay here,

Would you lie with me, and

Just forget the world?"


(It won't let me put more than one video in one post)

 

Snow Patrol - Just Say Yes

[video=youtube]

"It's not a test,

Nor a trick of the mind;

Only love."

 

Just Say Yes seems to symbolize how the host is trying to get rid of his doubt.


The Glitch Mob - Between Two Points

[video=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrGhZmpoIDc

"No holding back,

Wish I could just hear you talk."


Muse - Resistance

[video=youtube]

"Love is our resistance

They'll keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down

Hold me

Our lips must always be sealed."

 

Resistance symbolizes secrecy and how the host is afraid of what would happen if people find out about his tulpa.
