{{Fanworks}} YUGIOH!DM Canon Fan Mix
It's been a while since my last soundtrack, but this time around there's no pairings at all (well, okay, there is Roseshipping, but if anything's canon-).
This soundtrack's my try at making a proper feel for YGO!DM canon as a whole, via character themes. I did my best to order these following the series chronology, but there are some quirks. And since I've had such bad luck getting downloads to stay up even five minutes, I've linked to Youtube videos below.
So, that said, I own no music, and the characters and artwork are Takahashi's. I just made the icons. Also, props to made_in_wonder and ladyarts for a couple songs, here.

#1. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE :: WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I! Don't! Care!
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
~ ATEM ~
#2. COLDPLAY :: CHARLIE BROWN
Stole a key
Took a car downtown
Where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and
Took what they offered me
To set me free
I saw the lights go down
At the end of the scene
I saw the lights go down and
They're standing in front of me
And my scarecrow dreams
When they smashed my heart
Into smithereens
Be a bright red rose
Come bursting the concrete
Be a cartoon heart
Light a fire - a fire - a spark
Light a fire - a flame in my heart
We'll run wild
We'll be glowing in the dark
~ JOUNOUCHI ~
#3. RED :: FIGHT INSIDE
Enemy, familiar friend
My beginning and my end
Knowing truth, whispering lies
And it hurts again
What I fear and what I've tried
Words I say and what I hide
All the pain, I want it to end
But I want it again
And it finds me
The fight inside is
Coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is
Breaking me again
I'm still the same, pursuing pain
Is it worth all that I've gained?
We both know how this will end
But I'd do it again
~ KAIBA ~
#4. SNOW PATROL:: THE SUNLIGHT THROUGH THE FLAGS
From here the caravans are kids' toys
And I can hold them all in my palm
I watch the sea creep 'round the corner
It connects the dots from here to you
The sunlight burning through the loose flags
Painted high on white church walls
I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart
Until I'm out of breath for trying
These accidents of faith and nature
They tend to stick in the spokes of you
But every now and then the trend bucks
And you're repaired by more than glue
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place you've found
The only noise beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
~ RYOU ~
#5. WITHIN TEMPTATION :: SOMEWHERE
Lost in the darkness
Tried to find your way home
I want to embrace you
And never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven
So no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony
Cause I just do not know
Where you are
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying
Until my dying day
I just need to know
Whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
Wherever you are
I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes me to know
~ PEGASUS ~
#6. INGRID MICHAELSON :: SOLDIER
I don't believe in anything but myself
I don't believe in anything but myself
But then you opened up a door, you opened up a door
Now I start to believe in something else
I sit in the back of a bus watching the world grow old
Watching the world go by all by myself
I took a faith full leap and packed up all my things and
All my love and gave it to somebody else
But how do I know
If I'll make it through?
How do I know?
Where's the proof in you?
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
But it can be won
~ MAI ~
#7. MUMFORD & SONS :: DUST BOWL DANCE
The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time
Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
~ MARIK ~
#8. SHINEDOWN:: I OWN YOU
Come on in, take a seat
Tell me how you feel this weak
Are you cursed? Are you blessed?
Are you still inside the mess?
All those feelings wrapped around you
Hold you down so you can't break through
It's a trap, so don't ask
It's a shadow on your back
It don't burn, it don't bleed
Still it cuts you at the knee
All this pressure that surrounds you
Holds you down but you know
You gotta break through
Hey, c'est la vie, remember me?
I made you, dressed and trained you
Hey, it's bittersweet
You can't kill me with kindness
I don't buy it
Strip down, show me flesh and bone
Cause now I own you
~ YAMI NO MARIK ~
# 9. SCISSOR SISTERS :: I CAN'T DECIDE
It's a bitch convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled
I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
~ YAMI NO BAKURA ~
#10. RADIOHEAD :: IDIOTEQUE
Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker?
Women and children first, and children first, and children
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I swallow until I burst, until I burst, until I
Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker?
I've seen too much, I haven't seen enough, you haven't seen
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first, and children first, and children
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides, let me hear both sides, let me hear both
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw me in the fire, throw me in the fire, throw me in the
We're not scaremongering, this is really happening, happening
We're not scaremongering, this is really happening, happening
Mobiles working, mobiles chirping
Take the money and run, take the money and run, take the money
Here I'm allowed everything all of the time
~ THIEF KING ~
#11. WOODKID :: IRON
Deep in the ocean dead and cast away
Where innocence is burned in flames
A million mile from home I'm walking ahead
I'm frozen to the bones I am
A soldier on my own I don't know the way
I'm riding up the heights of shame
I'm waiting for the call the hand on the chest
I'm ready for the fight and fate
The sound of iron shots is stuck in my head
The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls the number of deads
The rising of the horns ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days
I will have to run away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste
Of the blood on my lips again
This steady burst of snow is burning my hands
I'm frozen to the bones I am
A million mile from home I'm walking away
I can't remind your eyes your face
~ AKHENADEN ~
#12. BRYAN ADAMS :: SOUND THE BUGLE
Sound the bugle now
Play it just for me
As the seasons change
Remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on
I can't even start
I've got nothing left
Just an empty heart
Then from on high
Somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls
"Remember who you are"
If you lose yourself
Your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight
Remember who you are
You're a soldier now
Fighting in a battle
To be free once more
That's worth fighting for
~ AKHENAMKHANEN ~
#13. IDINA MENZEL :: BRAVE
Don't know just where I'm going
And tomorrow it's a little overwhelming
And the air is cold
And I'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction
For too long now
Lost my own reflection
And I can't look down
If you're not there to catch me when I fall
If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my rite of passage
That somehow leads me home
I might be afraid
But it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid cause it's my turn to be brave
~ YUUGI ~
+. MAT KEARNEY :: SOONER OR LATER
We’re all standing with
Our backs against the wall
Sooner or later
Waiting on a phone
That never calls at all
Heartbreak comes
Rollin' in like a storm
Sooner or later
Trying to swim but
You’re sinking like a stone
Alone
Sooner or later
I swear we’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it
Milk and honey ’til we get our fill
I’ll keep chasing it I always will
Sooner or later
I swear we’ll make it there
Sooner than later
~ YU-JYO ~
