Fantasy is my #1; I will give almost anything a chance if it has strong fantasy elements. Post apocalyptic, superhero, alternate history, science fantasy, some supernatural, romance, and a few fandoms (especially Game of Thrones) are also likely to catch my eye.
Greetings, various nerds of Iwaku. I saw an interesting thing on the internet somewhere when browsing things on my phone instead of doing real work, but I forgot to save it so I'm just recreating it in text form. It's one of those things where you place your entire music collection on shuffle and then do things with whatever comes up, but instead of the standard "X song is what will play at your funeral" and whatnot we're gonna do something different. We're gonna make some fucking poetry.

Throw your music on shuffle and take the first line from the first 10 songs. Put them together and see what kind of weird poem you get. Skip any songs that don't have vocals. I've tried it a few times and they've been amusing every time. The example below is my favorite of the lot.



Even in these chains, you can't stop me
All this talk of your sweet girlfriend is starting to pay off
Everything is getting worse
Midwinter wrongs the rites of Spring
Kiss me hard before you go
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
Next phase, next craze, next nothing new
Well, it's happening
Walking through fields of gold
To the hills, to the hills, to the hills we go
 
Listen to an aria of the Leopard's voice
That feeling that doesn't go away just did
Counting all the assholes in the room
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
I once kneeled in shaking thrill
Without you I cannot confide in anything
War is coming swiftly
In the life of the wrong a love lingered on
Look at me I'm fallin'
The wait is soon at end

I have no real clue what my poem is about
(Also nice taste in music, Jorick, we have a song in common I see here)
 
This was funny XD Here's mine

Got that bottom of the ocean pressure, pressure
I don’t have to leave anymore
Hear your thunder calling from a distant sky
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
I have a dream
Let's go back
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
I was left to my own devices
Coming in unannounced, drag my nails on the tile
 
Don't make a sound
When all you've got are broken dreams
Woo-hoo
I fell in love with the crooked truth

Oh, there's a river that winds on forever
Oh this bag of bones, just wondering
The UFO incident that became the hot topic last year
Pop it

I cross my heart and I hope to die
You & I, We could fly, Till we die, So high that we could kiss the sky

Wow.

You come to me with scars on your wrist
He is jealous for me
I keep seeing you in my dreams
All I see is shattered pieces
You gave up your one-eyed cat
Inspired by the sunlight shining on your face
I hear the turn in your voice
Ready yourself for the end
Look at all the lonely hearts
Until now I've never been so lost, never felt so alone

what the actual heck all these songs are fairly uplifting on their own but this is...idk XD
 
I got enough on my mind
Who are you to tell me
Say goodbye to Oz and everything you own
I, was the knight in shining armor in your movie
If you're looking for a diamond
Walking alone and the night is dead
Every night, I remember that evening
Oh, Saturday sun
Talking like we used to
Is anyone there?

Pretty much most of my sad songs xD wow
 
Love’s seeping from the guns
Treating today as though it was the last, the final show
It's the loneliness that's the killer
A choir full of longing
Where no one even knows my name
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Complex situation undone by evil deeds
You and me in your thoughts, alone
Peace dies hard from an angry hand
The cloud is moving nearer still

the mixture of purely love songs, the gothic, and the industrial make it creepy.
 
But... My playlist has three songs with lyrics. I'll get one with my earlier favs assembled.

Edit: On further consideration. Only one of my previously favorite artists even sung. So that's gonna be only him then.

"Yeah, so lost in my own little world
You and me, we found adventure
If you're gonna say goodbye to me
I can't sit around watching my hair turn gray
I take a breath and let it out
I feel the tide coming in all around me"

I really like that ominous plot twist at the end of yours

If this is redemption, why do I bother at all
Forgotten soul
Runnin' with all of my brothers
Take a look around me
This medicine is wearing thin now
I’ve been stumbling around between the lines of red and blue
I've been smoking on the peace pipe
Help me if you can
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
This will never end cause I want more

When I was a child, I heard voices
Can you take away every single day?
It's not you, but me
Come snow falls as before
Hello there my dearest love
Here's to being human
Lie to me
There's a struggle coming but
Much may change in the life of a man
I know there's no form

I decided to try again for a little more coherence and this one seems a bit more somber than before? I dunno.
 
I am good, I am grounded
Halfway across the globe and we're standing on the ground
Just sleep, just dream
Heart pulsing harder than our rivalry

City's breaking down on a camel's back
We're losing every fight but how?
In the land of gods and monsters
Going all the way
I sold my soul to the devil said you don't need your heart
So come on, let it go
-
Wow. That escalated quickly.
 
This one is approaching coherence, maybe?


We seduce the dark with pain and rapture
I said I'm sorry to change my mind
He feeds on fear
I will break into your thoughts
Too late, the melody is over
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Baby I'm sick inside
I've been sleepwalking
A dangerous stream of passion
My love let me go again
 
Maybe I need some rehab,
I hurt myself today,
I recognize your fragrance,
I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind,
What day is it and in what month?
Honey, why are you calling me so late?
I'll sing it one last time for you,
I can't remember anything,
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation,
Ayy, I've been fuckin' hoes and poppin' pillies

:thinking:
 
I used my EDM playlist this time owo

Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
I'm facing back to front
You're a nice guy
I heard the news today
I hold on as we both crash into midnight
Summer in the hills
They call me the freak of the fall
All she's got is the way he looks
Open, living for the night like it is golden
Salvation Code

Starts with maybe needing rehab, the middle is all kinds of confused and weird shit, ends with popping pills. Yup, seems legit.

It's like we're all sitting around a campfire drunkenly putting lyrics together. It's beautiful.

Dreamscape in a blanket silver grey
Rejected since day one
Thought I found a way
Stars fall at my feet, keep me grounded as I reach
If you came in late
Tell my ma when I go home
Like an ancient story
Is it only in my dreams?
What if I said I would break your heart?
In a garage, beside a house, there is a luxury sedan


well then 8D
this was fun
