Fanmix: Girl in the War

[coyotesuspect]

Title: Girl in the War
Subject: girl!Dean Winchester
Notes: Mix contains front and back covers, individual uploads of nine songs, and a .zip of all songs plus one bonus song. Implied Sam/Dean. Made for the December challenge at singustosleep .

I have a lot of thoughts on girl!Dean, probably an entire meta's worth, so I'll just leave this here and hope it speaks for itself. The model for my girl!Dean is actress Greta Gerwig, none of whose work I have seen, but who has been my girl!Dean since I saw this picture.














(1) I’ll Believe in Anything – Wolf Parade
And I could take another hit for you
And I could take away your trips from you
And I could take away the salt from your eyes
And take away the spitting salt in you
And I could give you my apologies
By handing over my neologies
And I could take away the shaking knees
And I could give you all the olive trees
Oh look at the trees and look at my face
And look at a place far away from here

(2) We Don’t Want Your Body – Stars
But I've watched you take your make-up off
Your face grows hard
Your eyes grow soft

Face down upon the bar
I always said you'd get far
But you're not the kid you used to be
Someone should call your family

You're just a tramp, we're just a trick
Our hunger starts to make us sick

Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
But will you actually be anyone?

(3) Barfight Revolution, Power Violence – Margot & the Nuclear So and Sos
>She walks on water and had them like a highschool dropout
her brittle bones are crackin' faintly.

she was coming up from everything he'd ever taught her
he said only try to talk when spoken
to and believe it's now or never

so I can't go back, honey,
your folding money.
come on, come on, get back together.

and this child's gonna walk himself home
and nothing's gonna stop his progress.

(4) Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) – Florence + the Machine
I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice

We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up

This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?

(5) New Gypsy – Iron & Wine
It's the land it is the land
Swept over by the light
Run with dogs and wave your arms
And don't come home till night

All the bones were slipping out
Now I have brought me in
Never let the weakness slip

You can lay me out a place
It's time I had some love

(6) Psalms 40:2 – The Mountain Goats
He has fixed his sign in the sky
He has raised me from the pit and set me high

Left that place in ruin, drunk on the Spirit and high on fumes
Checked into a Red Roof in stayed up for several hours and then slept like infants
In the burning fuselage of my days

Head down towards Kansas we will get there when we get there don't you worry
Feel bad about the things we do along the way
But not really that bad
We inhaled the frozen air
Lord send me a mechanic if I am not beyond repair

(7) Kill! Kill! Kill! – The Pierces
well you could wash my brain
you could tear out my heart
but I would never forget you

you could change my world
I could make a new start
but i would never forget you

and it's kill, kill, killing me
and it's kill, kill, killing me

(8) On the Radio – Regina Spektor
this is how it works
you peer inside yourself
you take the things you like
and try to love the things you took
and then you take that love you made
and stick it into some--
someone else's heart
pumping someone else's blood

and walking arm in arm
you hope it don't get harmed
but even if it does
you'll just do it all again

(9) Set Your Arms Down – Warpaint
You say tonight,
We bring our pocket, our pocket knives
You wanna fight me, you want to fight

And in the backyard
Into the night,
We walk through fire
My love is your flashlight.

Walk through the fire,
Walk till it gets dark
There is no hiding
To save your life.

You've got to try
Say you're me now,
Set your arms down.


+Girl in the War - Josh Ritter
And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them
