holyground's "dark" trinity
"Dark" can mean anything, from the dark that comes with sadness to the frightening element of the dark. For me, darkness is something that really makes me tremble. Things aren't what they seem to be. It's just eerie, haunting and scary. So for my trinity, I'll be using three cover songs. However, the artists gives a malicious twist to each of these seemingly happy songs, and turn them into something dark.
Once Upon a Dream
Lana Del Rey "but if i know you, i know what you'll do"
To introduce the trinity, we have Lana's eerie vocals to start us off. The way Sleeping Beauty sang this was just so innocent and full of life and love, but Lana just twists every word to what it's not supposed to be. Now that you read the lyrics again, don't you think it's something the frightening Maleficient would say too?
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Lorde "welcome to your life, there's no turning back, even while we sleep, we will find you"
Tears For Fears probably meant this song to be a triumphant song about power. Lorde flips it and now it becomes the haunting reminder of the Capitol's harsh and brutal authoritarian regime over the people in The Hunger Games.
Of the Night
Bastille "this is the rhythm of the night, the night"
I guess Bastille didn't really have any intention to make this a dark song, but the instrumentation is totally opposite from the original dance bops Rhythm of the Night and Rhythm of the Dancer. But doesn't it make you think, when it goes "this is the rhythm of the night", what rhythm is it exactly?
madonna - mer girl
"i smelled her burning flesh
her rotting bones
her decay"
ellie goulding - dead in the water
"you've seen this all before
a life left on the shore
we're smiling all the same
you sail away again"
Sebas
The Dark Trinity
Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary
Holy/Human This song is about Mary Magdalene. It's about the pressures she had for being divine and holy but being human at the same time. Gaga only says "Bloody Mary" 3 times in the song (referencing the urban myth)
Eminem - 3 a.m.
Good/Evil 3 AM is supposed to be the witching hour when evil spirits are stronger. In this song, Slim Shady (Eminem's evil alter-ego) went on a killing spree. Eminem is there too as the good side just like in the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story.
Radiohead - Creep
Beaufitul/Disgusting This song is about someone who is feeling discontent as a person. He sings about someone that seems perfect (the complete opposite of what he is)
sent mines. hopefully it is trinity worthy and wont flop.
I think everyone's in...?
