This probably has more to do with the attitudes of the heart and color of the soul than what cognitive functions you have.. but if you could pick one song that feels like you feel to yourself, that represents your personality and story, what would it be?
I'm very curious, and would feel privileged, to see a glimpse into your world :3 Please do share if you will!
This is me:
I get a specific melancholy, ethereal longing feeling from this that often arises out of my soul.. and the composition sounds to me like a tragic story with a bitter-sweet ending..
i'm not usually a lyrics guy but, of all the songs on this album, this one's lyrics feel the most personally resonant.
"surrounded by nothing but the nothing's surrounded by us but it's just me in my room . . . don't stop imagining. the day that you do is the day that you die now I pull a one-ton carriage instead of the horses, grazing along . . . at least god doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine the snakes i couldn't find"
LOL ^this made me laugh so hard imagining you with a handmade hang glider and pilot goggles, crashing in here like "Whaaaaat?!" That song is like an encapsulation of pure Ne mischief too! omg, it's so great
crymsonfox - wow, your song sounds so swanky and cool. It really reflects the polished, sexy vibe of Se/Ni. Especially compared to all us Ne users, you definitely win the style award thus far
puffs - mhm, I haven't listened to the whole album, but it really captures the light, happy-go-lucky, kinda unkempt character of Alphas ^^ I can see why you relate to it.

that sounds happy-go-lucky to you?
the whole album is pretty much about being sad, lonely, mentally ill and pining for better-days-now-past
^haha, well the instrumentals sound light and upbeat to me, idk. But the sadness and pining for better-days-now-past (Si-fixation) is something I've observed in all the alpha types too, except not particularly FeSi's >.< Their oomph disallows rumination!
Alerith weird. i've been studying enneagram shit and as an exercise started making my own list of archetype titles for each of the tritypes. The first title i came up with for 592, which you seem like, was "the friendly ghost". 2-9 is friendly/accommodating, 5-9 is ghostly/detached (however much you buy into the enneagram). Anyway, it's just setting my Ni off that your song is Casper's Lullaby. makes perfect sense.
EDIT: i don't mean to be reductive, i realize your tie that song isn't about Casper or being a friendly ghost, just a strange coincidence.
*goes to look inside soul for song* *goes to look inside fridge for soul*
I like that you noticed the implications of my song's title ^^ That is actually a relevant detail of why I resonate with it.. initially I was drawn to the emotional evocation, but then noticed that it was from Casper - and even more, that it was written to underscore the theme of his wish for life and love - and I just fell in love with it. A friendly ghost.. this could be an apt description of my character π»
It's funny you bring up the 592 type, I've never considered that one for myself, but it makes sense in some ways. I do think the Enneagram is imprecise and a bit like the horoscope, but it also touches upon some real patterns we see in people.
LOL does keeping your soul in the fridge extend one's lifespan? XD
btw - I really like your song! It's quite serene, methodical and dreamy, but also has some of that cool/contemporary polish (kinda like crymson's song). I dunno if I'm just associating it to the context now, but it sounds like what I'd imagine the experience of being Ni-lead is like.

The beautiful melodies tell a story of something sad but also beautiful, a purified soul kept within. Away from the prying eyes of those who would wish to do it harm, even though at times it may falter.
I'd have to say this album, but I'll link this song. It's well fitted between "My enemy" and "Sages song." - I think there is only one song that doesn't fit.
What a beautiful sentiment chilledtozero <3 I think your song captures the tragedy of self-purity quite well.. it has undertones of beauty, melancholy and even righteousness.
Although one may be kept authentic and beautiful, retaining their integrity, shutting the corruption of the world out is synonymous with shutting the self *in*. This is a very Ji dilemma, I think.
Meta - oooh, I looked up the lyrics of your song and they are perfect!
I was born as all the world here was born As tones, words and stories of the primeval song I need no bow, I need no sword My kingshipβs known to gods Let their song go on
I need you to be the guide The mirror to the sky and sea Portray all above and below The gate of life and death
The sea of my loneliness It needs to have a sky To go with my story I also need to have your words
Like a king has his moon A queen has her sun To make the song go on
Make the song go on The creator of gods Make the song go on and on On and on
Be my guide of life and death
This seems, to me, to be a description of life from an archetypal point of view. And it's so accurate in such a poetic way - we are "As tones, words and stories of the primeval song."
And much of the rest of the song seems to be describing the relationship to one's Anima/Animus, as they are the other side of ourselves who guide us..
This is beautiful Something I've noticed about Fi is that it often has such a real, yet artfully composed, view of humanity. This song seems to reflect that.

Ah..... I really enjoyed that. Melancholy minors never straying too far from the root major.
I don't know if I could pick one song. I used to belt out 3eb's Motorcycle Drive-by when I was on my own, or Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees or The Bends, or Jeff Buckley's Grace. But one song that really connects to me is, oddly enough, this:
