I got soul (but I'm not a soldier): a fanmix for Percy Jackson
listen
For day 7, a male character. No spoilers, and doesn't take Heroes of Olympus into account. Thanks to akitotsubaki for the suggestions.
1. Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Tears for Fears)
welcome to your life, there's no turning back
even while we sleep we will find you
acting on your best behavior
turn your back on mother nature
everybody wants to rule the world
there's a room where the light won't find you
holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
when they do, I'll be right behind you
2. Sabotage (Beastie Boys)
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
Imma set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here
cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
so while you sit back and wonder why
I've got this fucking thorn in my side
oh my God, it's a mirage
I'm telling y'all it's sabotage
3. Don't Let Me Get Me (Pink)
never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction and my socks are never clean
teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cause I can't do nothing right
4. You're Gonna Go Far Kid (The Offspring)
now dance, fucker, dance
man you never had a chance
and no one even knew
it was really only you
and now you steal away
take him out today
nice work you did
you're gonna go far, kid
5. It's Time (Imagine Dragons)
so this is what you meant
when you said that you were spent
and now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
right to the top, don't hold back
packing my bags and giving the Academy a raincheck
it's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger than that, I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was, now won't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
6. Us Against the World (Coldplay)
the tighrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
the devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
and I just wanna be there when the lightning strikes
and the saints go marching in
sing slow it down
through chaos as it swirls
it's us against the world
7. Spaceman (The Killers)
you know that I was hoping
that I could leave this star-crossed world behind
but when they cut me open
I guess I changed my mind
and you know I might have just
flown too far from the floor this time
cause they're calling me by my name
8. Sugar We're Going Down (Fall Out Boy)
we're going down, down in an earlier round
and sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
a loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
(take aim at myself)
(take back what you said)
9. Raise Your Glass (Pink)
so raise your glass if you are wrong
in all the right ways
all my underdogs
we will never be, never be
anything but loud and nitty-gritty
dirty little freaks
won't you come on and, come on and
raise your glass
10. All These Things That I've Done (The Killers)
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
you know, you know, no, you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of man
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
and my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection
11. Umbrella (Rihanna Feat. Jay-Z, Travis Barker Remix)
when the world has took its part
when the world has dealt its cards
if the hand is hard
together we'll mend your heart because
when the sun shine, we'll shine together
told you I'll be here forever
said I'll always be your friend
took an oath, Imma stick it out till the end
now that it's raining more than ever
know that we'll still have each other
you can stand under my umbrella
you can stand under my umbrella
Bonus track (because Grooveshark sucks)
12. Bleeding Out (The Lone Bellow)
grab the guns and the ammo, let us descend
to the darkest of prisons and break their defense
we will rattle the cages, rules will be bent
oh remind us our days are all numbered not spent
and peace it comes easy, like mist on a ridge
breathing in, breathing out, it’s all in my mouth
gives me hope that I’ll be something worth bleeding out
breathing in, breathing out, it’s all in my mouth
gives me hope that I’ll be something worth bleeding out
