Mirror, Mirror: An Oz Vessalius FST Set
This is a set of concept albums, that explore my favorite anime character ever, Oz Vessalius. I really wanted to capture his dual personality, and I loved the concept of two albums that 'reflected' each other. Thus, each album has the same artists, in the same exact order, but one FST is about Oz's hopes, dreams, and happiness (Le Soliel--the Sun), and the other is about his fear, doubts, and sadness (La Lune--the Moon).
As for the actual songs, not all songs on the Sun album are happy, and not all songs on the Moon album are sad. However, the songs reflect each other, meaning if one song is happy or hopeful, on the other it will be sad, and there are also some songs that have exactly the same meaning or emotion as their 'reflection', as well. Though, each album is named for its majority emotion.
In terms of genre, both albums are mostly alternative, symphonic/hard rock, and ballad--the sound is very dense and you'll find a lot of epic instrumentals and unique sounding songs on these FSTs.
I hope you enjoy this special FST release! :D

Starlight {} Muse
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away
Your Own Love {} VersaEmerge
The waterworks blocked his words
He felt sorry.
Well I'm sorry for me too
But I think you're broken to the fact,
I can't and won't go back
But I think you're broken to the fact
You make your own love
Where did you go, Don't you know I'm still here?
You think you're better all alone
No, I think you're broken to the fact,
I can't and won't go back
Yeah, I think you're broken to the fact
You make you own love
Shell {} [ Cell 7 ]
Could you define reality?
Will you ever find the vice your searching for?
Would you trust in perfect clarity?
Do you despise the purity you can't take in?
Can you break the shell you cast around your soul?
Can you see
Can you feel
Anymore?
Can you accept your share of pain?
Are you lonely again after all you gave?
And as the guilty separate
Do you know just what it is you cannot say?
Cosmic Love {} Florence + the Machine
A fallen star
Fell from your heart
And landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud
As it tore through them
And now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon
They have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day
I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark
I can hear your heartbeat
I try to find the sound
But then it stopped
And I was in the darkness
So darkness I became
Welcome to the Black Parade {} My Chemical Romance
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 saviour of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know.
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 in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it.
Good Enough {} Evanescence
Under your spell again.
I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and
it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.
Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
I can't breathe but I feel...
Good enough,
I feel good enough for you.
Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself,
and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.
Lower the Moon {} Not a Clever Pony

Best is Yet to Come {} Red
A photograph's still in your hands
Afraid to let it go
The minutes rain like grains of sand
And time is just a war
that's stealing dreams from within
So come and take them back again
And After all that we've been through
And after all we left in pieces
I still believe our lives have just begun
Cause now the past can be outrun
And I know you are the reason
I still believe the best is yet to come
I won't turn around
Let it all slip away
I'm never backing down
Cause tomorrow's a new day
And everything can change
All You Did Was Save My Life {} Our Lady Peace
You looked at me as you walked in the room
Like the Red Sea you split me open
Somehow knew these wings were stolen
All you did was save my life
Tried to run but I couldn't move
Well I paid for these concrete shoes
But like a singer that sings the blues
You saw hope in the hopeless
I'm not dying!
All you did was save my life
Pulled me out of that flat line
Put the heartbeat back inside
I'm not dying!
Syndicate {} The Fray
Halfway around the world
Lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground,
hundreds of miles down
First thing that arises
in your mind while you awake
Is bending you til you break
Let me hold you now
Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Baby don't forget
You haven't lost it all yet
Don't know what your made of
Til the one thing that you want
To come in with the dawn
and suddenly changes
Monday, syndicate
meets everyone the same
But all we've lost to the flame
Listen to me now
Under My Feet {} Celldweller
I dream you
And I want to
Be near you
I can't get up out from under my feet
I've tried to
But can't get it through
I need to
God is all I've found
Can't get the hell off the ground
Out from under my feet
So this is how it feels, you sucker
And you had so much to say
But it's over now
You're finally going down
Alone, alone
Hope {} Apocalyptica
(Instrumental)
Ichiban no Takaramono (Original Version) {} karuta
I’ll go anywhere, you all know that.
I’ll show you all that I can grant your dreams of happiness.
Even if I’m separated from everyone, no matter how far,
I’ll be born with the new morning.
I’ll go by myself, even if I want to die,
I can hear your voices; I mustn’t die.
Even if it looks painful, even if I’m locked in darkness,
Deep in my heart the light is burning.
Time changed as it ebbed and flowed.
I can’t remember what happened anymore but,
If I try and close my eyes I can hear everyone’s laughter.
Somehow that’s now my most precious treasure.

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
sʞɔoןC {} VersaEmerge
Since that clocks first tick, a dark hue and fear driven
It's only real till it ends
As the stars fall on our hands
call the wind the thief for stealing their prayers.
Look at us shake the sky.
Pulling the whites from my eyes
and as the hands are spinning
they're waving you goodbye.
A test for more is what you're striving for.
As we sleep we walk.
Can't awake the ones who live this life, not on our own
cause people are the same, (we are the same)
only habits change (habits change)
but your starry eyes, no they don't tell me a thing
staring over heavy heads
ɹǝʌǝS {} [ cell 7 ]
This hemisphere,
weaves its claustrophobic air
While my cancer crawls inside me,
I find that I can no longer care
and you save me,
you draw the cyanine from behind my eyes
and a million fluids drain and darkened stain
still you offer more than my lies
and so I am lost, in all you doubt
would I sever it for you
and I know your policies
but would you deviate for me
I miss you now, I am afraid of the light
and you send me,
you will deform like razor ware
above my flesh
but the want of your prescriptions
deny a moan
of what little I have left
ʇnO ʇı ǝʞɐɥS {} Florence + the Machine
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
dǝǝןS {} My Chemical Romance
Some say, now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions
Don't you breathe for me
Undeserving of your sympathy
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did
And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it
So shut your eyes
Kiss me goodbye
And sleep
Just sleep
The hardest part is letting go of your dreams
A drink for the horror that I'm in
For the good guys, and the bad guys
For the monsters that I've been
Three cheers for tyranny
Unapologetic apathy
Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again
ǝsıpɐɹɐP uı ʇsoL {} Evanescence
I've been believing in something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me
All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me,
but I'm broken
I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
As much as I'd like the past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you

ƃuıɥʇʎɹǝʌE puɐ ƃuıɥʇoN {} Red
Enemy, familiar friend
My beginning and my end
Broken truth, whispering lies
And it hurts again
What I fear and what I try,
The 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
Still the same, pursuing pain
Is it worth all that I've gained?
We both know how it will end,
But I'd do it again
dǝǝןS ƃuısoL sןǝƃuA {} Our Lady Peace
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Now your afraid of yourself
Over your shoulder you have to watch
Heaven fall into hell
Looks like your boat's about to sink
So it's time to prepare
Even the angels are losing sleep
And the sidewalks are bare
It's like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm
You'll get back here again
And I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
It's there then it's gone
Oh it looks like the war was in your head
Not your heart
Just when you think it's figured out
Well it all falls apart
ǝM ʇsnɹT {} The Fray
Looking for something I've never seen
Alone and I'm in between
The place that I'm from and
The place that I'm in
A city I've never been
I found a friend or should I say foe
Said there's a few things you should know
We don't want you to see
We come and we go
Here today, gone tomorrow
Were only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older, you will understand
If I say who I know it just goes to show
You need me less than I need you
Take it from me
We don't give sympathy
You can trust me trust nobody
But I said you and me
We don't have honesty
The things we don't want to speak
I'll try to get out but I never will
(xıM ןןıʇS pooʇS ʇɹɐǝH ʎM ʎɐD ǝɥT) ʇǝǝF ʎM ɹǝpuU {} Celldweller
So this is how it feels to suffer
And I had so much to say
But it's over now
And I'm going down
Alone, alone
I've no guarantees
I'll recognize my disease
Before my time has gone
It's all I've found
Can't get the hell off the ground
Out from under my feet
Promises and wishes all mean nothing
When it's me that I'm speaking to
Wanting something
Won't mean I will see it through

ƃuoS ǝʌɐɹB {} Tada Aoi
I was always walking alone,
When I turned around everyone was far behind
Even so I kept walking,
That was what strength was
“I’m not afraid of anything anymore,”
I try to whisper to myself
Everyone becomes alone someday
living on only in memories
So that I can love and laugh
even in loneliness I will fight
I will show no tears
I was always walking alone,
A cliff waited for me at my destination
Even so I kept walking as proof of my strength
The strong wind blew against me,
My shirt stuck to me with sweat
If I can forget everything someday
living will become so much simpler
If I fall past oblivion
that’s just running away
If only the meaning of
having lived would disappear
