Boys just wanna get in your tutu.

I wanted to point out a couple of songs I love that remind me a lot of our lovely barmaid, Miss Tifa Lockheart. I'll give you all a heads up and let you know that these are sort of angsty songs, but I thought they were perfect for portraying her independence and her ability to stay strong even though she's been hurt and rejected. They're great songs, and I reccommend a listen. ![]() LOSING GRIP By Avril Lavigne (Notes: This has got to be my number one Tifa anthem. I used it in one of my first AMVs because I thought it was so appropriate, and I've grown attached to the song as a whole over time. It sort of makes me think of the Nibelheim incident and how she must have felt when Cloud wasn't there, in that the lyrics talk about being scared and alone. Plus, the rejection factor is HUGE in this one. Look back at Nomura's quote that Tifa is "like any other woman who's been left behind by a man" and you'll know what I mean. ;)) Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you Why'd you turn away? Here's what I have to say I was left to cry there, waiting outside there Burning with a lost stare That's when I decided Why should I care 'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone You, you need to listen I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip And I'm in this thing alone Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place When you turn around can you recognize my face You used to love me, you used to hug me But that wasn't the case Everything wasn't okay I was left to cry there, waiting outside there Burning with a lost stare That's when I decided Why should I care 'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone You, you need to listen I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip And I'm in this thing alone Crying out loud I'm crying out loud Crying out loud I'm crying out loud Open your eyes Open up wide Why should I care 'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone Why should I care 'Cuz you weren't there when I was there I was so alone Why should I care If you don't care then I don't care We're not going anywhere Why should I care 'Cuz you weren't there when I was there I was so alone Why should I care If you don't care then I don't care We're not going anywhere NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL BE (EVERYBODY'S FOOL) By Evanescence (Note: These have got to be some of the most appropriate Tifa lyrics of all time. Being a fangirl of hers, and since I immediately applied it to her, I think I might have taken the words a little more literally than was originally intended, but it's so damn TIFA I can't get over it. :lol: I seriously could babble all day about this one. It's amazing. Must point out -- in my mind "I" = Tifa, "you" = Cloud, "she" = Aerith, "we" = Tifa and Aerith, and probably the kids and the rest of AVALANCHE, depending on how you want to interpret it.)Perfect by nature Icons of self indulgence Just what we all need More lies about a world that Never was and never will be Have you no shame? Don't you see me? You know you've got everybody fooled Look here she comes now Bow down and stare in wonder Oh how we love you No flaws when you're pretending But now I know she Never was and never will be You don't know how you betrayed me And somehow you've got everybody fooled Without the mask Where will you hide Can't find yourself Lost in your lies I know the truth and now I know who you are And I don't love you anymore It never was and never will be You don't know how you betrayed me And somehow you've got everybody fooled Never was and never will be You're not real and you can't save me Somehow now you're everybody's fool. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW By Michelle Branch (Notes: This one's pretty self-explanatory--Tifa is pissed off because Cloud stays away. But there are a lot of lines that make me think instantly of the things that make their story unique, like the "all your lies become your truths" bit. Another great song I love. ^_^) Now, don’t just walk away Pretending everything’s ok And you don’t care about me And I know there’s just no use When all your lies become your truths and I don’t care... Could you look me in the eye And tell me that you’re happy now Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased, Are you happy now? Are you happy now? You took all there was to take, And left me with an empty plate And you don’t care about it And I am givin' up this game I’m leaving you with all the blame cause I don’t care Could you look me in the eye? And tell me that you’re happy now Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased, Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Do you really have everything you want? You can't ever give somethin' you ain't got You can’t run away from yourself Could you look me in the eye? and tell me that you're happy now come on, tell it to my face or have i been replaced, are you happy now? are you happy now? Would you look me in the eye? Could you look me in the eye? I’ve had all that I can take I'm not about to break Cause I’m happy now Are you happy now? |

Little Too Late by Delta Goodrem (This song seriously show that our little Miss Fragile-hearted has some attitude. ;) She's moved on, sick and tired of being lovelorn) (They say) I'm a little to young to understand But it's a little to late too hold my hand You know I never subscribe to yes sir no sir gonna learn gonna love gonna take my chance It's a little too late for you to say That I'm a little too young to feel this way 'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard Be lost in the feeling standing here At the door to my life Now that day has arrived so loud and clear You'll hear me singing Do do doo do do do do do do I'm singing Do do do do do do do do do (They say) I'm a little too lost without you here (They said) that I'm a little too soft and too sincere 'cause I never subscribe to who sir me sir Gonna stand gonna fall gonna face my fears It's a little too late for me to wait 'cause your're never to young to feel this way 'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard Be lost in the feeling standing Here at the door to my life Now that day has arrived so loud and clear You'll hear me singing Do do doo do do do do do do I'm singing Do do do do do do do do do If I want your help I'll say help me I'm okay I'm alright won't you hear me loud and clear 'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard Be lost in the feeling standing here At the door to my life Now that day has arrived so loud and clear You'll hear me singing Do do doo do do do do do do I'm singing Do do do do do do do do do I'm a little too young to understand But it's a little too late to hold my hand I'm a little too lost without you here That I'm a little too soft and too sincere Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson (Okay, okay, so I couldn't find one that said Brown Eyes, but the mood is sooooooo .....Tifa. D; Yowch, a little angst in this one.....) Seems like just yesterday You were a part of me I used to stand so tall I used to be so strong Your arms around me tight Everything, it felt so right Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong Now I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes I told you everything Opened up and let you in You made me feel alright For once in my life Now all that's left of me Is what I pretend to be So together, but so broken up inside 'Cause I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hangin' on Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Swallow me then spit me out For hating you, I blame myself Seeing you it kills me now No, I don't cry on the outside Anymore... Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes |

Yay for Tifa anthems!! I too think she deserves some love and I really like the songs you put out there Luna and Flirtatious. Oh and Luna I love all three of the artists you picked as well, I really like your taste in music...sorry I can't think of any songs for Tifa right now, I seem to catch ones for Cloud or for Aeris and Cloud, but I am glad you started a thread like this for Tifa!

Is it okay if I put down two songs daydreamer198 has already mentioned? I think they deserve to be catergorized. ![]() The Winner Takes It All by ABBA I dont wanna talk About the things weve gone through Though its hurting me Now its history Ive played all my cards And thats what youve done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory Thats her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking Id be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall Its simple and its plain Why should I complain. But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I dont wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand Youve come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all...... Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word by Blue (Sorry seems to be the hardest word) What I got to do to make you love me? What I got to do to make you care? What do I do when lightning strikes me? And I wake to find that you’re not there? What I got to go to make you want me? What I got to do to be heard? What do I say when it’s all over? Sorry seems to be the hardest word. It’s sad, so sad It’s a sad, sad situation. And it’s getting more and more absurd. It’s sad, so sad Why can’t we talk it over? Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word. What do I do to make you want me? What I got to do to be heard? What do I say when it's all over? Sorry seems to be the hardest word. It’s sad, so sad It’s a sad, sad situation. And it’s getting more and more absurd. It’s sad, so sad Why can’t we talk it over? Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word. Yeh. Sorry What I got to do to make you love me? What I got to do to be heard? What do I do when lightning strikes me? What have I got to do? What have I got to do? When sorry seems to be the hardest word... |

It would be "Jealous" by a pinoy singer, also claimed as a rnb siren, Nina. (if you're wondering why i'm here in the phil., i moved from south korea) lol and i found lots of opms (true composed and sang songs in philippines are called "official pinoy music") so cool and i really like their rockband, SpongeCola here! another two Tifa anthems would be "He Wasn't" and "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne. she used to rock, but now she's acting, now that's not my sk8er boi singer! ![]() He Wasn't Avril Lavigne There's not much going on today I'm really bored, it's getting late What happened to my saturday Monday's coming, the day i hate I'll sit on my bed alone Staring at the phone He wasn't what i wanted, what i thought no He wouldn't even open up the door He never made me feel like i was special He isn't really what i'm looking for This is when i start to bite my nails And clean my room when all else fails I think it's time for me to bail This point of view is getting stale Sit on the bed alone, staring at the phone He wasn't what i wanted, what i thought no He wouldn't even open up the door He never made me feel like i was special He isn't really what i'm looking for Na na na na na na, we've all got choices Na na na na, we've all got voices Na na na na na, stand up make some noise Na na na na, stand up make some noise Sit on the bed alone, staring at the phone He wasn't what i wanted, what i thought no He wouldn't even open up the door He never made me feel like i was special He isn't really what i'm looking for He wasn't what i wanted, what i thought no He wouldn't even open up the door He never made me feel like i was special Like i was special, cuz i was special Na na na na na. My Happy Ending Avril Lavigne So much for my happy ending Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh... Let's talk this over It's not like we're dead Was it something I did? Was it something You said? Don't leave me hanging In a city so dead Held up up so high On such a breakable thread You were all the things I thought I knew And I thought we could be You were everything, everything that I wanted We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away All this time you were pretending So much for my happy ending Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh... You've got your dumb friends I know what they say They tell you I'm difficult But so are they But they don't know me Do they even know you? All the things you hide from me All the shit that you do You were all the things I thought I knew And I thought we could be You were everything, everything that I wanted We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away All this time you were pretending So much for my happy ending Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh... It's nice to know you were there Thanks for acting like you cared And making me feel like I was the only one It's nice to know we had it all Thanks for watching as I fall And letting me know we were done You were everything, everything that I wanted We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away All this time you were pretending So much for my happy ending Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh... You were everything, everything that I wanted We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away All this time you were pretending So much for my happy ending Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh... |

These all fit Tifa so well!! Especially "Everybody's Fool" (one of my own personal favorite songs!) I have one song in mind...but its more like Tifa's view towards Aerith (not in a mean way!). XD And only a couple lines fit the senario so I won't even bother posting it XD Anyways, great songs guys! |

Flirtatious and Cynel, I just adore the lyrics you posted. "Behind These Hazel Eyes" is perfectly fitting of her, and both of the Avril Lavigne lyrics have alway struck me as great Tifa songs, especially "My Happy Ending." Aerisbolt, that's okay if you don't post any lyrics right now, any kind of Tifa anthem appreciation is welcome here (and yes, I'm a bit of a closet Evanescence fangirl, and I've always had a soft spot for Avril Lavigne's stuff <3). LadyNel, here's the link to my vid if you want to see it, and POST THOSE LYRICS, Imaginary_girl!

Haha! Ok Luna...but looking over them...they are kind of mean...just disregard those parts like I said only a few lines fit them! I'll bold the parts that I think fits it. Everything else is disregarded (mostly because they're mean and Tifa doesn't feel those things about Aerith, that or it's a certain part just doesn't fit at all XD) Oh and Aerith is the one thats like "the star of the scene, the homecoming queen, ect.." the rest is Tifa's view. The Girl Next Door Small town homecoming queen She's the star in this scene There's no way to deny she's lovely Perfect skin, perfect hair Perfumed hearts everywhere Tell myself that inside she's ugly Maybe I'm just jealous I can't help but hate her Secretly I wonder if my one friend wants to date her She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door Senior class president She must be heaven sent She was never the last one standing A backseat debutante Everything that you want Never to harsh or too demanding Maybe I'll admit it I'm a little bitter Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door Oh and I'm just the girl next door I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands I get a little bit, she gets a little more She's Miss America and... she's Miss America I'm just the girl next door... See, not a lot fits but when I heard it, I just thought of those two. Not the mean parts of course, only the bolded parts. Especially the part about "my one friend wants to date her" *cough* Cloud *cough* Actually this is more of an Aerith anthem....but if you look at it as Tifa's point of view...its kinda like a Tifa anthem, right? XD

Here's one. It's a beautiful song, I love it completely. It kinda sings on Tifa's part on a Cloti relationship, and Cloud's too.Red = Tifa's feelings Blue = Cloud's feelings You're gonna see more red than blue, because this reflects more off Tifa's perspective, that she can't keep living in this fantasy world where Cloud can truly love her back like he loved Aerith. Fool's Gold by Adrienne Pierce Too, too many, they're so, So many there's too, Too many, too many of us, And everyone's hoping, To be the one spun straw, Into gold and outshine the sun. It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is growing, Nothing is flowing from these taps, It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is flowing, We're just seagulls pulling at scraps. Leave, gotta leave today, Get far away from , far from, far from the madding crowd, It's turning grey now, gotta leave today now, For the, for the, black clouds. No longer hoping to be the long spun straw, Into gold and outshine the sun. It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is growing, Nothing is flowing from these taps, It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is flowing, We're just seagulls pulling at scraps. Don't need golden fleece, Just give me some peace Gonna learn to see what's in front of me. I want to give, I want to give not take, Everything seems so fake, Maybe it's just too loud, Maybe I am just too proud, Trying to get far, far from the madding crowd. Can't seem to catch a break, Everything seems so fake, Everything seems so fake. And everyone's hoping to be the one Spun, straw into gold and outshine the sun. It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is growing, Nothing is flowing. It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is growing, Nothing is flowing from these taps. It's fools gold glowing, Nothing is growing, We're just seagulls pulling at scraps. Too, too, too. So, so, so. Too, too, too many. There's too, too, too. So, so, so. Too, too, too many, there's too many. |

This is a classic song. And I dearly love it to pieces... especially how it's so beautifully played on the piano, with EMOTION. ![]() This could also be for Cloud-->Aerith, but I think it suits more for the eyes of Tifa in her relationship with Cloud. Please, take a look-see!! ![]() Please Don't Ask Me John Farnham Please don't ask me what am I thinking... It's about you And please don't ask me I never can see you What can I do? My first impulse is to run to your side My heart's not free, and so I must hide Please don't ask me What I'm gonna say to you I toss and turn Can't sleep at night It's worrying me I go to bed, Turn out the light But your face I see It only hurts The more I pretend That we could ever Be more than friends Please don't ask me Why I'm so in love with you You could easily make me happy [<-- maybe not that line XD;] That I know But I try my best to never tell you so I will sing to you my love songs And pretend And I'll keep the secret right down To the end [possibly, though she always wanted to be closer to him] Please don't ask me Why I'm not talking I just can't explain And please don't ask me Why I go walking out in the rain I could not live the lie it would take To have you here would be a mistake Please don't ask me Why I'm still in love with you No please don't ask me |

A song that basically tells everything about Tifa's feelings... "Worn Me Down" by Rachael Yamagata Gone, she's gone How do you feel about it That's what I thought You're real torn up about it And I wish you the best But I could do without it And I will, because you've worn me down Oh, I will, because you've worn me down Worn me down like a road I did everything you told Worn me down to my knees I did everything to please But you can't stop thinking about her No, you can't stop thinking about her And you're wrong, you're wrong I'm not overreacting Something is off Why don't we ever believe ourselves And I, oh, I feel that word for you And I will, because you've worn me down Oh, I will because you have worn me down Worn me down like a road I did everything you told Worn me down to my knees I did everything to please But you can't stop thinking about her No, you can't stop thinking about her She's so pretty; she's so damn right But I'm so tired of thinking About her tonight Worn me down like a road I did everything you told Worn me down to my knees I did everything to please But you can't stop thinking about her No, you can't stop thinking about her Worn me down like a road I did everything you told Worn me down to my knees I did everything to please Worn me down like a road I did everything you told to me to do But you, you can't stop thinking about her No, you can't stop thinking about her No, you can't stop thinking about her No, you can't stop thinking about her |

Here's an angsty one, but it's actually from Cloud's POV of Tifa. Ouch. Numb by Linkin Park i'm tired of being what you want me to be feeling so faithless lost under the surface i don't know what you're expecting of me put under the pressure of walking in your shoes [caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow] every step that i take is another mistake to you i've become so numb i can't feel you there become so tired so much more aware i'm becoming this all i want to do is be more like me and be less like you can't you see that you're smothering me holding too tightly afraid to lose control cause everything that you thought i would be has fallen apart right in front of you [caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow] every step that i take is another mistake to you [caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow] and every second i waste is more than i can take but i know i may end up failing too but i know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you |

I don't know how I'll feel, tomorrow, tomorrow, I don't know what to say, tomorrow, tomorrow Is a different day It's always been up to you, It's turning around, It's up to me, I'm gonna do what I have to do, just don't Gimme a little time, Leave me alone a little while, Maybe it's not too late, not today, today, today, today, today... I don't know how I'll feel, tomorrow, tomorrow, I don't know what to say, tomorrow, tomorrow Is a different day Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not ready, Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not ready, Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow And I wanna believe you, When you tell me that it'll be ok, Yeah I try to believe you, Not today, today, today, today, today...

Actually this is more of an Aerith anthem....but if you look at it as Tifa's point of view...its kinda like a Tifa anthem, right? XD
