Eclipse Songs to Breaking Dawn: Jacob's POV
Just wanted to share a few very poignant Jacob songs. Or at least why I think they are.
They're all of a harder rock/metal genre.
Mild spoilers, since there are BD parts. But it's more of a what I would want to happen in BD, than anything that actually happens in BD.
01. Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins

Reminds me of an angry Jacob at the beginning of Eclipse.
He can't really do anything about Edward being back.
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
(chorus)
Even though I know - I suppose Ill show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage Im still just a rat in a cage (2x)
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage Im still just a rat in a cage
Now Im naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got when you feel the same
(chorus)
(chorus 2)
Tell me Im the only one
Tell me theres no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me Im the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
(chorus)
(chorus 2)
Despite all my rage Im still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage Im still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
02. It's not over - Daughtry
Click here to listen, or save-link to download
Pretty self-explanatory why I think it's appropriate.
I like the part where it's like 'blow it away, blow it away'.
Reminds me of the wolf from the three piggies story.
Also I bolded an especially pertinent line.
I was blown away.
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You've taken away everything,
And I can't deal with that.
I try to see the good in life,
But good things in life are hard to find.
We'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
Taken all I could take,
And I cannot wait.
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on.
Can't let it bring us down.
My life with you means everything,
So I won't give up that easily.
I'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood.
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
We can't let this get away.
Let it out, let it out.
Don't get caught up in yourself.
Let it out.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
Let's start over.
It's not over, yeah...
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
03. Want - Disturbed

First time I heard this song after reading the Twi-saga,
I was like... wow, this kind of fits! And it is angry.
Bella's mind really wont let her see that she wants Jacob.
Your mind wont let you say that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you say what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still your mind wont ever let you say
My little tired devotee
Your mind wont even let you feel
Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind wont let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Wont let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind wont let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Wont let you say that you want
Your mind wont let you say that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still your mind wont ever let you say
Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind wont seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me
Your mind wont even let you feel
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
Savor me
04. If You're Not the One - Daniel Bedingfield
Click here to listen, or save-link to download
I think this is the most perfect Jacob/Bella song I've ever heard.
Makes me really sad everytime I hear it.
Especially when you think about it in terms of the end of Eclipse.
She's telling him it can't happen,
and in his mind he's saying 'if I'm not made for you
then why does my heart tell me that I am?'
If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I'll never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms

Now we venture into AU territory.
This song is a good example of what I would've liked
to happen for Jacob for the end. The song is about falling in love,
breaking up, wanting to get back together at any cost,
but then realizing that you have to learn to love yourself first.
I've bolded the most important part.
I was nowhere near ready when all it ended
So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you
You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain
Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full
Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain
It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you
Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak
So I can only blame myself for this state we are in
I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late
Did you change? I did too. Love can grow from the last grain
It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on...
You...
I need you...less and less...
Every day feeds this moral decay
Yet I have grown to love you even more
I fall back, and I turn another cheek.
You mouth the words you're not ready to speak
You're scared of me now; no I never had a clue
That I'd become so much stronger than you.
I will take - what you have - for me now, if it's not too late
If you like, I will leave; I will not miss the last train again
It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you...
It's hard for me to love your face right now
I'm waiting, hating, needing being
Me...
I need you...less and less...
Every day leads us farther away...
From that moment
It hard for me to hate myself right now
Finally I'm understanding me
One day we may have whole new me's and you's
But first I need to learn to love me too...
06. Trail of Broken Hearts - Dragonforce
Click here to listen, or save-link to download
Once more in AU territory. Pretty much this is also what I wished
could have happened in BD. The whole 'trail of broken hearts
flying free' makes me happy. I can see like...
Mike, and Jacob, and whoever likes Bella
just finally getting over her.
I just wish they could've all just...
Broken free.
Here we are far beyond the distant sky
Seen all the world and how the story will be over
Through the snow and tainted mountains we have climbed
Now we have found the light that guides us over
Through the fallen rain we travelled far and wide
And through the blackest darkness
Stars above shining bright
Through the sun and winter rain will fall
All our lives we all were waiting for a sign to call
We're walking hand in hand in dreams and endless time
How do we know when we will leave this life behind?
Stare at life through eyes of mine
the hate the fear and the pain
There's a feeling held deep inside - when life you live is in vain
[Chorus]
Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close your eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free
Once again we walk this lonely road
There are times that we are wading through the rain and cold
We're lost in memories of what we left behind
Relive the dreams, the endless screams of pain inside
Lives are filled with emptiness
The fear returned once again
Searching endlessly you cannot see
Drown your mind in the pain
[Chorus]
The last temptation will be all that's left for me
When I see those tears you cry
When I hear those lies you lie
When I see your creation now falling down on me
Is this the reason to be?
[Solos: Sam/Herman/Sam]
[Chorus]
The trail of broken hearts flying free
They're all of a harder rock/metal genre.
