AKA: Suns found a music-related charry creation prompt and now she's about to make it all ya'll's problem. 
So, @Reverie saw a playlist charry prompt thingie that I had posted in the meme thread in General a while ago, and prompted me to make a thread about it. So, here I am. Doing the thing. :'3
Besides the subjects listed, I figure you can also shuffle your playlists for things like your new characters' name/family/pets/anything that isn't listed! You aren't stuck with the prompts given! You can also omit ones, as you please! This is to be used however you see fit!
I followed this last night and I'm going to be setting up the results further down this post so you have some ideas on how to post your own, if you want to! I encourage sharing and discussions! Let's all brainstorm on what certain lyrics of songs could mean for your character!
NOTE, SINCE SOMEONE MENTIONED IT: You DO NOT HAVE TO USE THIS FORMAT! HECKIE NO! THIS IS JUST MY EXAMPLE! I have to go in depth with EEEEEEVERYTHING! Even if you just list 'song name - thing you interpreted it as', that's fine! You don't even have to take lyrics into consideration, if the feel of the music is drawing you towards something! Just so everyone knows!
If you, for any reason, want this to be super, duper, amazingly, random and third-person [or don't have time or energy to do this, yourself? I get it!], you can boop me and I can shuffle my own playlist, for yah, and list the songs and lyrics!
OKAY!
From my character creation shufflemancy session, last night, this is what I got! It really favored Shiny Toy Guns and Twenty One Pilots, for some reason! I promise I have waaaay more on my playlist than those two bands. x'D Also, I only took one song towards the hobbies, as I feel it gave me enough, on it's own!

Personality - Rainy Monday by Shiny Toy Guns
*Noteable lyrics: You left this feeling here inside of me. One that never fails to find me. On a rainy Monday, I feel it inside of me, like the days of summer. In the hopes of one day-. You won't see me change my mind, but I really wish I could forget the way you are. I can see that you're not beside me. I still feel you shine inside of me.
*Possible Interpretations: Beat down, but still upbeat. Hopless romantic. Dreamer with big imagination. Fiercely loyal to people they love. Stuck in the past, head in the clouds. Playing themselves, to some degree, maybe.
Job - Formidable by Twenty One Pilots
*Noteable Lyrics: You are Formidable to me, cuz you seem to know it, where you wanna go. I'll follow you, but you should know. I might be cynical towards you, but I can't believe that I'm for you. I'll die with you, just let me know. We just met, but can you take me everywhere you've ever been. I might be clinical don't you tell. I won't break your heart if you can break my spell. I'm afraid of you now more than I was at first. I wanna see it all no surprises. I'm just afraid my loyalty will bore you.
*Possible Interpretations: Their job is intimately connected to another person. A guide for an adventuerer? A military member of some sort and their battle buddy? A royal/merchant/other significant person and their bodyguard? This is something they've wanted to do, for a while and everyone around them KNOWS it.
Backstory - Slow Song by The Knocks
*Noteable Lyrics: Staring at the the ceiling, I can feel you trying doors I'd opened up before. But i'm the one with all the keys, and I'm the one walking 'round here like I own the joint. Oh, I got ways to shake it off, baby. And as long as you stay intoxicated, I'll keep beating your heart til I break it. I'mma play you til the track's done. Play you however many times I want. I'll play you like a slow song. You can flip back through the pages And you won't find I was making any promisesYou're the desert, I'm the rain, and we both know I never stay, but still you wanted it. I got ways of losing you, baby. I'm faster than whatever you're chasing.
*Possible Interpretations: (......Okay, okay, hear me out: Escort/exotic dancer turned bodyguard??? Yeah? YEAH?!)
Friends - Vignette - Twenty One Pilots
*Noteable Lyrics: Not sure when it started. Peelin' from his bones, piece it back together all alone. Hope it held together long enough for he, to pitch the greener grasses and hope that she would agree. Fresh off a binger in the woods, flesh covered in bites. Testing what is real, what is good. It's a tribute to zombies of which I've become. Where do I go from here? Clinging to promises, fighting off the vignette. Tunnels cave, visions fade, swallowed by the vignette. He's thinking, "There's no way I'm headed there". Always sure-footed, educated, and was never scared. Now he can't hold out his hand without it shaking. Hounded by a bunch of dead when the search party found him. No, it's not me, it's for a friend. Denial.
*Possible Interpretations: A best friend, ravaged from an addiction of some sort. Long-term, probably from childhood. Friend is a he, charry I'm putting together is a she, maybe? A reason for her adventures? Does the friend die?
Love Life - When Did This Storm Begin - Shiny Toy Guns
*Noteable Lyrics: Bright yellow sun that fades away to black and blue every place. There's a bottle in the shape of your love for me. Every night you drink the money left to pay all the bills. No room for us, but there's another fucking bottle of pills. Here's your trophy on my face, it's just an eye anyway. This will go no further, I swear it dies today. Your nights will stay forever if you dare once more touch me.
*Possible Interpretations: Incredibly tumultuous. Abusive. Partner is an addict. She's desperate for it to end. Desperate enough to kill?
Where they live - Re: Your Brains - Jonathan Coulton
*Noteable Lyrics: [This is just a silly song about office zombies wanting to eat their coworker's brains and asking in the most professional manner possible.]
*Possible Interpretations: ZOMBIES! Office settings! So, maybe a city that's been overrun by the undead/people who uncannily act like the undead. .... possibly due to whatever substance the previous songs have alluded to? Maybe an office was ground zero for zombie substance outbreak things. Maybe music creation charry's/her partner's/friend's coworkers?

Clothing style - Streetlights - Ludo
*Noteable Lyrics: The pavement is aching, the cicadas are crying. The wine colored air breezing thoughts thru your hair. I come alive as the shadows parade, my hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves. Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say. Now there are no words, only the glow in our wires. Our lips set the sun. Streetlights flickering like stars. Chemicals spread.
*Possible Interpretations: I'm getting glow-in-the-dark. Neon. But, also some sorta romantic, flowy, possible lace-lined, stuff? Maybe a more retro feel? Hm hm hm.

Hobby - Suki Suki Hanamaru - Natsuki Shinomiya
*Noteable Lyrics: Don't let your dreams end as just dreams. You always act tough, it's time for you to rest. Try allowing yourself, ok? Look, just relax. A wonderful future will now come to pick you up.
*Possible Interpretations: She likes to sing, I think! Something about acting tough and it being okay to soften up and relax and let someone else step up and protect you. Maybe she's a fighter of some kind, too. Would make sense if she were a bodyguard! Seems like this, particular, hobby maybe grew into her job, later on! And, I'll add that this song adds a lot to her personality, such as her having a BUTTLOAD of charm!)
