📜 The Tortured Poets Department

The Secret History (Donna Tartt)

“You're in self-sabotage mode, throwing spikes down on the road

Straight from the Tortured Poets Department
Who else decodes you?”

In a cloud of sparkling dust

Just to do experiments on

Tell me I was the chosen one

Show me that this world is bigger than us”

📜 So Long, London

Uusikuu (Stephenie Meyer)

The spirit was gone, we would never come to”

But I was going down with it”

I died on the altar waiting for the proof”

I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place”

📜 But Daddy I Love Him

Epäilys (Stephenie Meyer)

“Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

Screaming, ‘But Daddy, I love him!

I'm having his baby’

No, I'm not, but you should see your faces”

I'd rather burn my whole life down

Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning”

Even my daddy just loves him

And oh my God, you should see your faces

I'm his lady”

I will never lose my baby again”

At the park where we used to sit on children's swings

Wearing imaginary rings

But it's gonna be alright, I did my time”

📜 Florida!!!

Daisy Jones & The Six (Taylor Jenkins Reid)

“I dream of cracking locks

Throwing my life to the wolves or the ocean rocks”

“I keep recalling things we never did”

“I keep these longings locked

In lowercase, inside a vault

Someone told me there's no such thing as bad thoughts

Only your actions talk”

“These fatal fantasies giving way to labored breath

Taking all of me, we've already done it in my head

If it's make-believe

Why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?”

📜 Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?

Salatun tiedon seura (Leigh Bardugo)

“If you wanted me dead

You should've just said

Nothing makes me feel more alive”

Well, you should be, you should be, you should be”

📜 I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)

Kotiopettajattaren romaani (Charlotte Brontë)

Tell 'em he's my man

I can fix him, no really I can

And only I can”

📜 loml

Normaaleja ihmisiä (Sally Rooney)

“Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames

If we know the steps anyway?”

“If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary

What we thought was for all time was momentary

Still alive, killing time at the cemetery

Never quite buried”

You're the loss of my life”

📜 I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Musta kuningatar (Walter Tevis)

“I can read your mind

‘She's having the time of her life’

There in her glittering prime

The lights refract sequin stars”

“Lights, camera, bitch, smile

Even when you want to die”

“I was grinning like I'm winning

I was hitting my marks

'Cause I can do it with a broken heart”

“'Cause I'm miserable!

And nobody even knows!”

📜 The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

Suon villi laulu (Delia Owens)

“And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

A message to the smallest man who ever lived?”

“You didn't measure up

In any measure of a man”

“Were you sent by someone

Who wanted me dead?

Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?”

“I would've died for your sins

Instead I just died inside

And you deserve prison, but you won't get time”

📜 The Alchemy

Aina ja ikuisesti, Lara Jean (Jenny Han)

You shared your secrets with

And your location

You forgot to turn it off”

How you don't miss me”

My longings stay unspoken

And I may never open up the way I did for you”

📜 imgonnagetyouback

Puuvillatehtaan perijä (Ann-Christin Antell)

“And I'll tell you one thing, honey

I can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean”

Gonna smash up your bike, I

Haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back”

You're mine”

Lumo (Riikka Pulkkinen)

“She's the albatross

She is here to destroy you”

‘One bad seed kills the garden’

‘One less temptress

One less dagger to sharpen’

But I'd visit in your dreams”

📜 Chloe of Sam or Sophia or Marcus

Witcher -kirjat (Andrzej Sapkowski)

“If you want to break my cold, cold heart

Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"

If you want to tear my world apart

Just say you've always wondered”

Humiseva harju (Emily Brontë)

“We hereby conduct this post mortem”

“Our maladies were such we could not cure them

And so a touch that was my birthright became foreign”

“We were blind to unforeseen circumstances

We learned the right steps to different dances”

“Say it once again with feeling

How the death rattle breathing

Silenced as the soul was leaving

The deflation of our dreaming

Leaving me bereft and reeling

My beloved ghost and me

Sitting in a tree

D-Y-I-N-G”

📜 So High School

Pojille, joita joskus rakastin (Jenny Han)

Every time I look at you

I want to find you in a crowd

Just to hide from you”

“Truth, dare, spin bottles

You know how to ball, I know Aristotle”

📜 Hate It Here

Bunny (Mona Awad)

“I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind

People need a key to get to

The only one is mine”

“I'm lonely, but I'm good

I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine

I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on purpose

This place made me feel worthless

Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it

And way up there, I actually love it”

📜 thanK you aIMee

Uuden nimen tarina (Elena Ferrante)

“All that time you were throwin' punches

I was buildin' somethin'

And I can't forgive the way you made me feel”

But when I count the scars

There's a moment of truth

That there wouldn't be this

If there hadn't been you”

📜 I Look in People’s Windows

Keskiyön aurinko (Stephenie Meyer)

“I had died the tiniest death

I spied the catch in your breath”

Transfixed by rose golden glows”

I still ponder what it meant”

“I tried searching faces on streets

What are the chances you'd be

Downtown, downtown, downtown”

Kirke (Madeline Miller)

“I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope”

“Don't want money

Just someone who wants my company

Let it once be me”

“A greater woman stays cool

But I howl like a wolf at the moon

And I look unstable”

“A greater woman has faith

But even statues crumble if they're made to wait

I'm so afraid I sealed my fate

No sign of soulmates”

📜 Cassandra

Greek Myths: A New Retelling (Charlotte Higgins)

“I was in my tower weaving nightmares

Twisting all my smiles into snarls”

“So they killed Cassandra first

'Cause she feared the worst

And tried to tell the town”

📜 Peter

Peter Pan (J. M. Barry)

“You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me”

“And I won't confess that I waited

But I let the lamp burn

As the men masqueraded

I hoped you'd return”

“Lost to the Lost Boys chapter of your life

Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried

To hold onto the days when you were mine

But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light”

📜 The Bolter

Sonja O. kävi täällä (Anja Kauranen)

“Excellent fun till you get to know her

Then she runs like it's a race”

“Ended with the slam of a door

Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore

But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing”

📜 Robin

Pikku naisia (Louisa May Alcott)

“You have no room in your dreams for regrets

You have no idea

The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean

You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline

But now we'll curtail your curiosity

In sweetness”

“Way to go, tiger

Higher and higher

Wilder and lighter

For you”

📜 The Manuscript

Kadonneen lapsen tarina (Elena Ferrante)

“Now and then she re-reads the manuscript
Of the entire torrid affair”

“And the years passed like scenes of a show
The professor said to write what you know
Looking backwards might be the only way
To move forward”

"Now and the I re-read the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore"
