grapegardenLONG overdue, constantly shelved despite long being close to completion, and after delay after delay after delay, my Charisk fanmix finally makes its way into the world! I hope everyone likes it after I hyped it up for so long. :) Like the friendship mix, the Charisk mix starts off with Genocide and Neutral before progressing into True Pacifist.
Frisk and Chara are drawn by Benteja, whose permission I have received to make this cover. :) I got inspiration from the “Across the Universe” cover even though there’s no Beatles songs this time, haha. XD

Bonus Track: 23. VOLTAIRE - Bachelor(ette)
1. Björk - Bachelorette
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
The game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream
+
Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder’s hand
I'm the branch that you break
The resets and how Frisk and Chara are entwined with each other’s fates. Hearts = souls--monster souls in particular--in this analogy.
2. Bertine Zetlitz - Girl Like You
If you wanna live inside my head
Wanna see what I have said
I will make you tremble
You'll tremble (I will make you tremble)
It's fine with me
If you wanna scream outside my door
I'll make you holler even more
I will make you sorry
So sorry (I will make you sorry)
It's fine with me
I will make you understand forever
I'll make everybody disappear
I will make you hold my hand forever
Till I'm standing clear
+
((You know I'm watching you
That's all I ever do
Your hands, your hair
You're everywhere I see
You know I am watching you
Just trying to see through
Those crazy words
You keep on serving me))
Since this is Chara, promises like “I’ll make you understand forever” and “I’ll make everybody disappear” is literal. The lyrics in parenthesis are translated from French, and golly do they describe Chara’s fascination with Frisk.
3. Starset - Monster
Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence yours to consume
You cut it away
And you filled me up with hate
Into the silence you sent me
Into the fire consumed
You thought I'd forget
But it's always in my head
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
The monster you made me?
Frisk following Chara and the Player’s orders in Genocide route.
4. The Chemical Brothers - Out of Control
Maybe I'm just scared of losin' you
Or maybe it's the things you make me do
It seems to me we both should hang around
And raise the population of this town
And it always seems we're runnin' out of time,
We're out of control, out of control
We're out of control, out of control
But it doesn't mean we're too far down the line
We're out of control, out of control
+
Could be that I'm just losing my touch
Or maybe you think my mustache is too much
Satellite is out of control
But you and I are brothers of the soul
And you and I will come in from the cold
Two children suddenly given reset powers and free reign? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG. Frisk and Chara wreak havoc through the darker timelines, but Frisk is starting to question their motives.
5. IAMX - Lulled By Numbers
If I could sing you to sleep
Lay you down and pray that you're the soul to keep
I would be all that you need
Wider eyes oblivious to everything
If this is the lullaby then
Why am I not sleeping easy?
If you leave me alone I will come home
Dragging my tails behind me
Sweetheart, don't hang me out to dry
When nothing is left there is always us...
Unfortunately, fueled by past abuse and paranoia, Frisk and Chara are desperate to claim the power over their lives that deserted them for so long.
6. Tori Amos - Iieee
Just say yes, you little arsonist
You're so sure you can save every hair on my chest?
Just say yes, you little arsonist
With your Es and your ease
And I do one more
With your Es and your ease
And I do one more
Well, I know we're dying
And there's no sign of a parachute
In this chapel, little chapel of love
Can't we get a little grace and some elegance?
No, we scream in cathedrals
Why can't it be beautiful?
Why does there got to be a sacrifice?
General call-out of the the Genocide player, and Frisk and Chara lamenting their state of affairs.
7. Nine Inch Nails - Disappointed
If I were you
I wouldn't trust
A single word
I say
Think by now
You should know
Nothing's going
To change
Can I ask you something?
What did you expect?
So disappointed
With what you get
Do you ever want to
Just get out of here?
Disappointed
Disappear
Look at you
Superman
With all the world
To save
You think by now
You'd figure out
That's nothing's going
To change
(And I am part of the reason)
Through some miracle, Frisk prevents Chara from delivering the final blow to Flowey. Frisk wants to set things right, but Chara doesn’t believe they can be redeemed.
8. Metric - Breathing Underwater
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bow at their feet, in the end it wasn't me
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Lights of days
Will beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
Frisk and Chara start over along with the Player, hoping to make their partnership work this time.
9. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog - My Eyes
Anyone with half a brain // Take it slow
Could spend their whole life howling in pain // He looks at me and seems to know
‘Cause the dark is everywhere // The things that I’m afraid to show
And Penny doesn’t seem to care // And suddenly I feel this glow
That soon the dark in me is all that will remain // And I believe
Listen close to everybody’s heart // There’s good in everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound // Keep it safe and sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart // With hope, you can do your part
And crashing to the ground // To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes // I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies // How the world’s finally growing wise
But it’s plain to see // And it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise // Rapture inside of me is on the rise
Frisk feels reawakened and in touch with the “true” version of themself. Chara remains cynical.
10. Pocahontas - Colors of the Wind
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know...
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Frisk and Chara have a lot to teach each other, and are so much more than what they seem on the surface.
11. Emilie Autumn - Save You
How do I save you?
How do I set you free?
Behind the curtain waits a darker world
If I can't make you leave
How can I save you from me?
I think you've had enough experience
To differentiate between a heart of gold
And what you cradle in your gentle arms
Can you not recognize a soul already sold?
How do I save you from the things I've been?
I can't deny the past, it's written on my face
How do I save you from the mess you're in
When I can't make you leave this torturous embrace?
Despite their growing feelings for Frisk, Chara still feels guilty about the Genocide route.
12. Kyla La Grange - Vampire Smile
Baby you need to leave
'Cause I'm getting drunk on your noble deeds
It doesn't matter that they don't get done
When I feel this cold they're like the fucking sun
Baby I need a friend
But I'm a vampire smile, you'll meet a sticky end
I'm here trying not to bite your neck
But it's beautiful and I'm gonna get
So drunk on you and kill your friends
You'll need me and we can be obsessed
And I can touch your hair and taste your skin
The ghosts won't matter 'cause we'll hide in sin
Raised to be a child of armageddon by their village, Chara believes they will eventually turn on Frisk and become evil again.
13. The Long Winters - Teaspoon
Two can just bleed into one
But only one does the bleeding
She calls me the alphabet gun
Teaspoon
I know I wasn't made to play on a team
You weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink
I know that crime doesn't pay
But I don't know any other way...
She orders the pilot to land
She just wants to hold the man
Well I am her pilot today
Frisk continues believing in Chara, helping them unlearn the toxic mindset their village brainwashed them with.
14. Into the Woods - It Takes Two
It takes two
I thought one was enough
It's not true
It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough
It took you
It took two of us
It takes care
It takes patience and fear and despair
To change
Though you swear
To change
Who can tell if you do?
It takes two
It takes two
You've changed
You're thriving
There's something about the woods
Not just
Surviving
You're blossoming in the woods
At home I'd fear
We'd stay the same forever
And then out here
You're passionate
Charming
Considerate
Clever
Using the Broadway version because that’s what I grew up with, dammit. :P With a little guidance and nudging from the Pacifist Player, Frisk and Chara bring out the best in each other, becoming the ultimate team.
15. The Material - Life Vest
They say it's over
But this is just the start
They can't destroy us
Two bodies with one beating heart
Oh, so hold me close my dearest one!
I fear the worst is yet to come
Our bed's a tiny island that can save us from the storm
Hide us from the pain outside and keep us safe and warm
With my hand across your chest, you're becoming my life vest
So hold me close and don't let gooooo, no!
Hold me close and don't let gooooo, no!
They face the Underground’s challenges together and succeed.
16. Boys Like Girls - Hero/Heroine
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero
And you're my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
The best thing about being two nonbinary heroes is they can be each other’s hero AND heroine. ;D Basically Frisk and Chara being hopelessly in love with another.
17. Halou - I’ll Carry You
How does it feel to know that you are loved so much?
How does it feel to be accepted so completely?
How does it feel to know that you mean everything to someone?
How does it feel to know that you're exactly what I wanted?
How does it feel to know that you are loved?
I love you more than you can see
This is everything you are to me
The two humans free all monsters and make it to the surface; Chara shows Frisk how much they are truly loved and treasured by their new friends.
18. Thriving Ivory - Flowers For a Ghost
You disappear with all your good intentions
And all I am is all I could not mention
Like who will bring me flowers when it's over?
And who will give me comfort when it's cold?
She took a plane to somewhere out in space
To start a life and maybe change the world
See I never meant for you to have to crawl
No I never meant to let you go at all
+
Don't ever say goodbye
I'm only human
I said I'm only human
I'm only human
Unfortunately, not everyone gets to join Frisk to their new life… Chara finds that they aren’t ready to move to the afterlife after all.
19. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Frisk is unable to forget those left behind in the Underground, especially their ghostly partner.
20. Say Anything - The Church Channel
They let us play with markers but I keep trying to draw infinity
And I read the bible to pass the time
But one day out of nowhere, she sits down and looks over my shoulder
I'm shaking harder than I've ever shook before
She sings, "Oh, do you remember me? Is your mind that worn?
We both were born to be one with that which the public scorned
Though you were forlorn in despair
With your drugs and your hardcore porn
Trust me, those days won't be mourned.”
So lay your head on me
So lay your head onto me
Surprise! Frisk comes back, Chara shows up again, and they work together to save Asriel for the true Golden Ending.
21. Goo Goo Dolls - All That You Are
I feel wrong, I'm so human and flawed
I'll break down even though I'm still strong
And time will make fools of us all
Build us up and then laughs when we fall
You pull me through
When I'm alone in the dark
And the fear is my truth
Yeah, all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are
You're the sound of redemption
The faith that I've lost
The answers I'm seeking no matter the cost
You opened the window
Now I can see and you taught me forgiveness
By giving your love back to me
Ignore that that is from one of the Bayformers movies; this song was meant for Frisk and Chara’s happy ending together. ;; Basically the sum of their character development and the culmination of their love for each other.
22. The White Stripes - Little Ghost
Though I try my best to keep it
There really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all
Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
No, it's not yet time to meet the lord above
Hmm, “Paranorman” has quite a bit in common with Frisk and Chara. :o Outsider with the ability to talk to supernatural creatures? Check. Supernatural creatures not as evil as regular humans think they are? Check. The main antagonist being a Woobie: Destroyer of Worlds ghost who had been mistreated by their village? Check. Main character telling said ghost that violence isn’t the answer and comforts them so they can finally rest in peace? Check!
Bonus Track!
23. VOLTAIRE - Bachelor(ette)
And life is a necklace of tears
You undo them with your fear
And I am a fountain of fears
You fill me with your tears
Our love
Is a big ball of string
Devil collects it with a grin
Our love…
An echo to the first song of the mix, this time with a POV swap. But what’s this? A callback to “Unravel”? Wasn’t that on my Charasriel mix? Looks like we’re not done shipping the Striped Trio yet...
Frisk and Chara are drawn by Benteja, whose permission I have received to make this cover. :) I got inspiration from the “Across the Universe” cover even though there’s no Beatles songs this time, haha. XD

How does it feel to know that you mean everything to someone?
How does it feel to know that you're exactly what I wanted?
How does it feel to know that you are loved?
I love you more than you can see
This is everything you are to me
The two humans free all monsters and make it to the surface; Chara shows Frisk how much they are truly loved and treasured by their new friends.
18. Thriving Ivory - Flowers For a Ghost
You disappear with all your good intentions
And all I am is all I could not mention
Like who will bring me flowers when it's over?
And who will give me comfort when it's cold?
She took a plane to somewhere out in space
To start a life and maybe change the world
See I never meant for you to have to crawl
No I never meant to let you go at all
+
Don't ever say goodbye
I'm only human
I said I'm only human
I'm only human
Unfortunately, not everyone gets to join Frisk to their new life… Chara finds that they aren’t ready to move to the afterlife after all.
19. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Frisk is unable to forget those left behind in the Underground, especially their ghostly partner.
20. Say Anything - The Church Channel
They let us play with markers but I keep trying to draw infinity
And I read the bible to pass the time
But one day out of nowhere, she sits down and looks over my shoulder
I'm shaking harder than I've ever shook before
She sings, "Oh, do you remember me? Is your mind that worn?
We both were born to be one with that which the public scorned
Though you were forlorn in despair
With your drugs and your hardcore porn
Trust me, those days won't be mourned.”
So lay your head on me
So lay your head onto me
Surprise! Frisk comes back, Chara shows up again, and they work together to save Asriel for the true Golden Ending.
21. Goo Goo Dolls - All That You Are
I feel wrong, I'm so human and flawed
I'll break down even though I'm still strong
And time will make fools of us all
Build us up and then laughs when we fall
You pull me through
When I'm alone in the dark
And the fear is my truth
Yeah, all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are
You're the sound of redemption
The faith that I've lost
The answers I'm seeking no matter the cost
You opened the window
Now I can see and you taught me forgiveness
By giving your love back to me
Ignore that that is from one of the Bayformers movies; this song was meant for Frisk and Chara’s happy ending together. ;; Basically the sum of their character development and the culmination of their love for each other.
22. The White Stripes - Little Ghost
Though I try my best to keep it
There really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all
Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
No, it's not yet time to meet the lord above
Hmm, “Paranorman” has quite a bit in common with Frisk and Chara. :o Outsider with the ability to talk to supernatural creatures? Check. Supernatural creatures not as evil as regular humans think they are? Check. The main antagonist being a Woobie: Destroyer of Worlds ghost who had been mistreated by their village? Check. Main character telling said ghost that violence isn’t the answer and comforts them so they can finally rest in peace? Check!
Bonus Track!
23. VOLTAIRE - Bachelor(ette)
And life is a necklace of tears
You undo them with your fear
And I am a fountain of fears
You fill me with your tears
Our love
Is a big ball of string
Devil collects it with a grin
Our love…
An echo to the first song of the mix, this time with a POV swap. But what’s this? A callback to “Unravel”? Wasn’t that on my Charasriel mix? Looks like we’re not done shipping the Striped Trio yet...
