Separated endlessly
Inspired by the raw obsoleteness of disc two.

=====================================================
Zephyr, Unchained-- part three of a soundtrack
-----
1. Contemplate
LIFE by Yui
Isogiashi de sure-chigau hito-tachi--
"yume wa kanaimashita ka?"
Atashi mada mogaiteru.
[[People pass by quickly
I ask "has your dream come true?"
But I'm still struggling.]]
-----
2. Flight of fancy
Fantasia from MapleStory
Instrumental.
-----
3. The paths of fate
My Medea by Vienna Teng
For I have made her prison be
Her every step away from me
And this child I would destroy
If you tried to set her free
-----
4. Into the west
Queste Saranno by Origa
Queste saranno ben lagrim'et questi
Saranno ben caldi sospiri ardenti,
Altro amor, altre voci & altri accenti
Da più amaro dolor svegliati e desti
The Kings are in motion
A King is being crowned
... we all await ...
Praising and longing for
Peace in - the world
... love will prevail ...
-----
5. Darken my doorway
Gola by Rurutia
Kyouki no naka de sekai wa mawaru
Mienai emono ni toritsukarete
Oroka na yami ma ni hisomu hito yo
Kako wo koroshitemo nuguikirenai
[[Amid all the insanity, the world keeps turning
A person lurks in the ridiculous darkness
Clinging to an invisible prize
You can kill the past, but you can’t wipe it away]]
-----
6. Dreaming, again
Marrakech by ATB
That familiar sound,
explains what I'm feeling
I'm both lost & found,
never been there before
-----
7. Exaltation
Devil's Trill by Giuseppe Tortini (BGM version from Yami no Matsuei)
Instrumental.
-----
8. The circuitous mental path
Falco by Hitomi Shimatani
Kimi wa nani wo nozomu no?
Dare no tame ni kizutsuki
Yume wa ukabu kuuhaku
Hitomi wo tojita
SAFURAN saita kokoro ni
Suna arashi ga yama nai
Sabaku yori mo hate naki
Toki wo samayou.
[[What are you wishing for?
For who’s sake do you hurt?
Your dreams float in space,
so close your eyes,
as saffron blooms in your heart.
And even for the end of the desert,
the sandstorm will not yield.
As you travel through time]]
-----
9. Blink and you'll miss
Vampyre by QED (Winter megamix)(yes, I megamixed it. Har.)
Almost instrumental.
-----
10. I give up, I admit mortality
rainy day by Ayumi Hamasaki/Unwritten Letter #1 by Vienna Teng
Hitori kiri kasa mo naku
Tachi tsukusu boku wa
Dare yori mo odayaka ni
Hohoende ita
[[But I was smiling
More gently than anyone else
Standing alone
Without an umbrella]]
//
these your arms of daring grace
encircle me what pact is made
desire is your masquerade
want me you never will
-----
11. Smiling for no reason whatsoever
Me and Mia by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
As I was walking through a life one morning
the sun was out, the air was warm, but
Oh, I was cold
And though I must have looked half a person,
to tell the tale, in my own version,
It was only then that I felt whole
-----
12. Bowstrings of both sorts
Shangri-La by angela
bokura wa mezashita Shangri-La yokubou wa osaekirezu ni
kuusou ni mamireta “jiyuu” wo motometsudzuketa
Ima nara ieru darou koko ga sou rakuen sa
sayonara, aoki hibi yo
[[We aimed for Shangri-la, unable to suppress all our desire
And continued to pursue our fantasy-covered “freedom”
I believe we can say it now - this place is paradise.
Farewell, days of our youth ]]
-----
13. Empathy from the outside
Be Yourself by Audioslave
And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up all right
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
-----
14. Soaring
Silence 2004 by Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to
believe that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides
-----
15. Tenuous finality
Epilogue (Relief) by Apocalyptica
Instrumental.
-----
The extra song titles are not exactly too hard to find.
Hidden Bonus Tracks: On A Lighter Note, Totally Irreverent Songs That Still Relate To Me In One Way Or Another
a.k.a. Songs That, At Times, Are Hard To Believe Are In Existence
1. Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) by Cobra Starship feat. a bunch of other artists
2. The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by Captain Tractor
3. The Saga Begins by Weird Al Yankovic
4. Everyone's a Little Bit Racist from the Avenue Q musical
5. Cava Bien from MapleStory
I do love Vienna Teng's songwriting, so she makes too many appearances in all of my little compilations.
