"Disappear" - Motion City Soundtrack
To the deep end. To the heart line.
Hold this trick together, man. Hold this trick together. If you can.

Riku has found that the best way to do this is to go in head-first. No mercy. Just take the dive and disappear...

"Disposable Sunshine" - Loser
I'm closer to the edge than I've ever been,
and I wanna see the other side.

Destiny Islands is swallowed up by the Heartless, and the world descends into the mist below. The adventure has begins, but not in the way any of them wanted.

"Sword and Shield" - Sister Hazel
I will be there - I will be the smallest piece and everything.
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you.

Sora. Kairi. He will protect them, even if it's from the shadows and completely out of sight.

"New Divide" - Linkin Park
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me,
And your voice was all I heard - that I get what I deserve.

Riku's struggle to accept that the darkness is a part of him, coupled with the guilt he carries with him... it's enough to make anyone wonder if it's worth it.

"I Will Not Bow" - Breaking Benjamin
Watch the end through dying eyes. Now the dark is taking over.
Show me where forever dies. Take the fall and run to heaven.
All is lost again... but I'm not giving in.
I will not bow. I will not break.

There's no end in sight. He may be fighting forever. He may not see tomorrow. ...So what?

"Waking Up The Ghost" - 10 Years
I'm getting close, closer to the enemy that's inside of me.
Under the skin, the soul of the guilty.

Riku has grand plans. He will face himself, however that happens; accept the truth, whatever that ends up being; and defeat his personal intruder, because he will not be anyone's puppet any longer.
(It is taking a lot of willpower not to quote this whole song. FYI.)

"This Is How I Disappear" - My Chemical Romance
Figured out I'm really not so with you anymore.
... And now you wanna see how far down I can sink? (Let me go...!)

The battle with Ansem. Riku called him out and brought him down. Though a faint shadow of him remains and Riku's fight with him may be neverending, he won't lose control again.

"Famous Last Words" - Zeromancer
You'll never see me make the same mistake twice.
... You'll never see me beg for another shot.

Riku knows what he's doing. ... Maybe. ... Mostly. Even so, he pushes forward. He's already on his second chance. There are no redos anymore.

"Downfall" - Trust Company
No one can see anything on the other side of me.
I walk, I crawl, losing everything and waiting for a downfall.

He'd rather not share his guilt. He'll bury it if he can. But on the Plane, how long can he keep his secrets?

"Through Glass" - Stone Sour
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head.

Maybe he can go home one day. Until then, he'll watch. Wait. Do whatever he can. No matter how long it takes.

"Riku" - Yoko Shimomura
(Instrumental)

Character song from the Kingdom Hearts II Official Soundtrack

"Disappear (Alternative Version)" - Motion city Soundtrack
... You'll never know how it feels ...
