Song Lyric Prompts Saturday

[lizziec]

Yesterday's DPP was a confessional post and you all took the idea and ran with it. There's some really interesting secrets and some discussions that delve quite deeply in to characterisation and produced some really interesting meta-ish thoughts. The discussion is still going on over there, and there were new confessions coming in quite late last night/early this morning, so if you have time today please do pop back to that post and join in with the discussions and start new ones. It's been absolutely fascinating reading them.

Today's DPP is Song Lyric Prompts Saturday. This is absolutely not the same thing as song fic but rather an opportunity to use a line from a song as a prompt for some fic.

Rules:

• The prompts have to be a lyric from a song


• It would be nice, but not necessary, if you could include the artist/title in case someone wants to go and look up the song in question


• You don't have to include the lyric in your fic, just use it as a jumping off point, though you can include it if you feel it fits in


• There is no limit to the length of the fic


• The fics can be set in AU


• If your fic ends up being R or NC-17 rated then please show that in the comment title

I've envisaged this as a sort of all weekend thing, so please do keep checking back :) I'll post a couple of prompts to get you going :)


Dancing to some beautiful music

John Mayer-- Heartbreak Warfare

[kl-shipper1.livejournal.com]

Lightning strike
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really every wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?

Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare.

If you want more love,
why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
why don't you say so?

Just say so ...

How come the only way to know how high you get me
Is to see how far I fall?
God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me
But I can't break through it all

It's heartbreak... heartbreak

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down

Red wine and Ambien, you're talking shit again
It's heartbreak warfare
Good to know it's all a game
Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak... heartbreak.

It's heartbreak warfare
It's heartbreak warfare
It's heartbreak warfare
