Character Song Meme Part 2
So here's some more character songs! I really have to find some happier stuff for Barrick. Pretty much everyone of his songs have been sad.
Is it sad that I've spent all morning watching the Franklin cartoon? I can't help it, I love that adorable green turtle! xD
Anastius to Sen: Scream by Avenged Sevenfold
Caught up in this madness too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I'll taste your blood tonight
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Relax while you're closing your eyes to me
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
Pleasure's all mine this time
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
We've all had a time where we've lost control
We've all had our time to grow
I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right
I'll hunt again one night
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
Some live repressing their instinctive feelings
Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would
if I ravaged your body
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged
your mind
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
This madness, this madness, this madness,
We’ve lost control, lost control,
This madness, this madness,
I’ll hunt again one night,
This madness, I’ll hunt again one night
From the work-in-progress, How to Make a Monster, this song is perfect for Anastius. Although he battles with his base instincts, he’s unable to control himself and ends up hurting the one he loves most in life. Out of love for Sen, Anastius tries to be a good person but finds that love for causing pain conflicts with his love for Sen.
Anastius (to Sen): A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold
Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
For me to take what's mine, until the end of time
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine, create what
God would never design
Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that
something would go wrong,
before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you
Almost laughed myself to tears, (hahaha)
conjuring her deepest fears
(come here you fucking bitch)
Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy, eat it eat it eat it
She was never this good in bed
even when she was sleepin'
now she's just so perfect I've
never been quite so fucking deep in
it goes on and on and on,
I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever,
with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever
’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
let's make a new start
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
but baby don't cry
Now possibilities I'd never considered,
are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard,
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved
Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears
Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy
Eat it eat it eat it
Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave
I gotta make up for what I've done
’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
while you burned in hell, no peace forever
’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, We fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don't cry
I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I’ll grant you a chance)
And if it's not enough
(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again
(Over and over again)
We’re coming back, coming back
We’ll live forever, live forever
Let’s have wedding, have a wedding
Let’s start the killing, start the killing
Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(Yes, I do.)
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(I do.)
I now pronounce you...
’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don't cry
Towards the end of How to Make a Monster, Anastius does the unthinkable and brutally rapes and murders the woman who raised him. While Sen has nothing but maternal feelings for him, Anastius constantly hungers for a more intimate relationship. Eventually, out of rage and betrayal, he rapes and kills Sen. Deribu, Sen’s older brother, uses his magic to force Anastius to relive his life again and again until he’s either reborn as a monster, or redeemed himself in the eyes of Sen’s spirit.
Andrea: The Dead Can’t Testify By Billy Talent
Let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground,
Let the rain fall down to the ground.
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound,
When you're six feet underground.
Well they cast me out when the word spread around
That I never sang in the church.
And it took one night for the town to decide
I'm afflicted by the curse.
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground.
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound.
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why,
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
So they marched me down to the center of town,
With their pitchforks high in the air.
I was chained and bound with a blindfold around
So the judge wouldn't catch my stare.
And they hung my soul from the gallows pole
But the witch they never found.
So to those who don't fit society's mold,
Learn to swim or you will drown.
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground.

And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound.
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why,
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!
And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
(Let teardrops hit the ground!)
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound
(When you're six feet underground!)
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why,
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?
And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!
And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!
Mousie has already seen a hint of this in my art scraps. To ease the public’s panic, King Adair’s council captures Andrea and sentences her to death by hanging as a scapegoat for the terrorist attacks that have been going on. I won’t give too much away, but Andrea is blindfolded and taken to the gallows. Andrea, although weak, curses her captors with every fibre of her being.
Barrick to Von: Angels by Within Temptation
Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my saviour
In my time of need
Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
The warning's so clear
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
Now mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn to real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie
Sparkling angel
Couldn't see
Your dark intentions
Your feelings for me
Fallen angel
Tell me why?
What is the reason?
The thorn in your eye
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus]
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen
A different path of life
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn in to real
You broke a promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This one is pretty self explanatory. After Von’s betrayal, Barrick has a hard time accepting what Von did to him. This song basically shows his gradual acceptance of what happened to him. Deep inside, he does wish that the things Von told them had been real, but he acknowledges that despite whatever happened to Von to make him the way he is, Von could have chosen to be someone else.
Von: Slow Chemical by Finger Eleven
The wonder of the world is gone, I know for sure
All the wonder that I want I've found in her
As the hole becomes apart I strike to burn
And no flame returns
Every intuition fails to find its way
One more table turned around and back again
Finding I'm more lost than found when she's not around
When she's not around, I feel it coming down
Give me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical NOW
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be the chemical
When everybody wants you
(The chemical goes slow)
When everybody wants you
(My chemical goes so slow, slow)
When everybody wants you
(Slow, slow)
When everybody wants your soul
Give me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical now
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
I’m not going to say much about this one, only that there was someone Von loved very deeply that is now gone.
Andrea: I’m Alive by Disturbed
Never again will I be dishonored
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration
It's my obligation
To never again, allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
Denying the sin
My art, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Change again, cannot be considered
I rage again, dispelling my anger
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Repairing the rift that you have created
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm no slave
Are you feeling brave?
Or have you gone out of your mind?
No more games
It won't feel the same
If I hold my anger inside
There's no meaning
My soul is bleeding
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Before you label me blind
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
This song reflects Andrea after she returns from Kane’s Island. During her stay there, she regains much of her self-esteem and decides she will never allow anyone to change her or put her on a path she doesn’t belong. Although the effects of being raped and forced to use her body to gain information by her Guild are still present, she will never be controlled again.
Rika: Walking with a Ghost by Tegan & Sara
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
Out of my mind, out of my mind
(I said please)
Out of my mind, out of my mind
(I said please)
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
Rika has had the gift of spiritual Sight since she was six years old, ever since Rhiannon nearly suffocated her to death. However, Rika mistakes the spirits she sees as hallucinations and fears she suffers from schizophrenia like her mother. To keep her family from worrying, she hides what she sees from them and does her best to deny their presence.
Deribu to unknown: Forgiven by Disturbed
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're all giving to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another nightmare walking to me
You were driven to me
Now you're given to me
How can I let a nightmare live?
[Chorus:]
To be purified in fire
Anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember your name?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're all giving to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another nightmare walking to me
You were driven to me
Now you're given to me
No longer will the nightmare live
[Chorus]
Walking the line that the world has drawn
Fighting for balance alone in the dark
Will you carry the burden the world has grown?
Will you destroy everything in your sight?
You alone can give this one more try
You alone will bury me tonight
[Chorus:]
To be purified in fire
Anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember you now?
Who will remember your name?
Remember your name
Remember your name
(Forgiven to me, you're forgiven to me)
Remember your name
(Forgiven to me, you're forgiven to me)
Deribu is a mysterious person, who has much to regret in his life. One of those things is not properly killing someone who comes back to haunt him, and in order to make things right he must forgive that individual for what he did to his family.
Kane: Nemo by Nightwish
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
My flower
Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo my name for evermore
So if you've read the biography I wrote before, you'll know that Kane killed his father when he was young boy, something that has always tormented him. Feeling as though he doesn't deserve his true name, he renamed himself "Kane" for his actions and has been known as such ever since. Outwardly, Kane has always seemed rather carefree, living life to the fullest in his own way, but he's plagued by his past. It isn't until he meets Mist that he begins to accept and move on from what happened. Mist is the one he would be speaking to in this song, and she's the only one he's ever told his true name, which she uses only with the utmost seriousness.
Deribu, Sen, Barrick, Kane, Mist, and Nanashi: Wanderlust by Nightwish
I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific
Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle
I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart
It`s not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust
I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil
Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but Earth
I want to find...
It`s not the end...
Drown into my eyes and see the wanderer
See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder
The one thing each of these characters have is a strong thirst for knowledge and exploration. Each of them have either traveled all over the globe, or, like Barrick, desperately want to but have to resort to using books to journey to faraway places.
Is it sad that I've spent all morning watching the Franklin cartoon? I can't help it, I love that adorable green turtle! xD

And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!
And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!
Mousie has already seen a hint of this in my art scraps. To ease the public’s panic, King Adair’s council captures Andrea and sentences her to death by hanging as a scapegoat for the terrorist attacks that have been going on. I won’t give too much away, but Andrea is blindfolded and taken to the gallows. Andrea, although weak, curses her captors with every fibre of her being.
Barrick to Von: Angels by Within Temptation
Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my saviour
In my time of need
Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
The warning's so clear
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
Now mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn to real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie
Sparkling angel
Couldn't see
Your dark intentions
Your feelings for me
Fallen angel
Tell me why?
What is the reason?
The thorn in your eye
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus]
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen
A different path of life
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn in to real
You broke a promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This one is pretty self explanatory. After Von’s betrayal, Barrick has a hard time accepting what Von did to him. This song basically shows his gradual acceptance of what happened to him. Deep inside, he does wish that the things Von told them had been real, but he acknowledges that despite whatever happened to Von to make him the way he is, Von could have chosen to be someone else.
Von: Slow Chemical by Finger Eleven
The wonder of the world is gone, I know for sure
All the wonder that I want I've found in her
As the hole becomes apart I strike to burn
And no flame returns
Every intuition fails to find its way
One more table turned around and back again
Finding I'm more lost than found when she's not around
When she's not around, I feel it coming down
Give me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical NOW
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be the chemical
When everybody wants you
(The chemical goes slow)
When everybody wants you
(My chemical goes so slow, slow)
When everybody wants you
(Slow, slow)
When everybody wants your soul
Give me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical now
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
I’m not going to say much about this one, only that there was someone Von loved very deeply that is now gone.
Andrea: I’m Alive by Disturbed
Never again will I be dishonored
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration
It's my obligation
To never again, allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
Denying the sin
My art, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Change again, cannot be considered
I rage again, dispelling my anger
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Repairing the rift that you have created
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm no slave
Are you feeling brave?
Or have you gone out of your mind?
No more games
It won't feel the same
If I hold my anger inside
There's no meaning
My soul is bleeding
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Before you label me blind
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
This song reflects Andrea after she returns from Kane’s Island. During her stay there, she regains much of her self-esteem and decides she will never allow anyone to change her or put her on a path she doesn’t belong. Although the effects of being raped and forced to use her body to gain information by her Guild are still present, she will never be controlled again.
Rika: Walking with a Ghost by Tegan & Sara
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
Out of my mind, out of my mind
(I said please)
Out of my mind, out of my mind
(I said please)
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
I was walking with a ghost
Rika has had the gift of spiritual Sight since she was six years old, ever since Rhiannon nearly suffocated her to death. However, Rika mistakes the spirits she sees as hallucinations and fears she suffers from schizophrenia like her mother. To keep her family from worrying, she hides what she sees from them and does her best to deny their presence.
Deribu to unknown: Forgiven by Disturbed
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're all giving to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another nightmare walking to me
You were driven to me
Now you're given to me
How can I let a nightmare live?
[Chorus:]
To be purified in fire
Anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember your name?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're all giving to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another nightmare walking to me
You were driven to me
Now you're given to me
No longer will the nightmare live
[Chorus]
Walking the line that the world has drawn
Fighting for balance alone in the dark
Will you carry the burden the world has grown?
Will you destroy everything in your sight?
You alone can give this one more try
You alone will bury me tonight
[Chorus:]
To be purified in fire
Anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember you now?
Who will remember your name?
Remember your name
Remember your name
(Forgiven to me, you're forgiven to me)
Remember your name
(Forgiven to me, you're forgiven to me)
Deribu is a mysterious person, who has much to regret in his life. One of those things is not properly killing someone who comes back to haunt him, and in order to make things right he must forgive that individual for what he did to his family.
Kane: Nemo by Nightwish
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
My flower
Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo my name for evermore
So if you've read the biography I wrote before, you'll know that Kane killed his father when he was young boy, something that has always tormented him. Feeling as though he doesn't deserve his true name, he renamed himself "Kane" for his actions and has been known as such ever since. Outwardly, Kane has always seemed rather carefree, living life to the fullest in his own way, but he's plagued by his past. It isn't until he meets Mist that he begins to accept and move on from what happened. Mist is the one he would be speaking to in this song, and she's the only one he's ever told his true name, which she uses only with the utmost seriousness.
Deribu, Sen, Barrick, Kane, Mist, and Nanashi: Wanderlust by Nightwish
I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific
Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle
I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart
It`s not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust
I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil
Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but Earth
I want to find...
It`s not the end...
Drown into my eyes and see the wanderer
See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder
The one thing each of these characters have is a strong thirst for knowledge and exploration. Each of them have either traveled all over the globe, or, like Barrick, desperately want to but have to resort to using books to journey to faraway places.
