Damon's Song: Echo by Jason Walker
This song has been playing in my head pretty much non-stop since The Hybrid aired, so when I started to realize how much it relates to Damon, I naturally needed to post about it.
Here's a link it song on You Tube:

Hello, Hello, anybody out there?
'Cause I don't hear a sound.
Alone, Alone
I don't really know where the world is
but I'm missing out.
I'm out on the edge and
I'm screaming my name like a fool
at the top of my lungs.
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend I'm all right
but it's never enough.
'Cause my echo, echo
is the only voice coming back.
Shadow, shadow
is the only friend that I have.
Listen, Listen
I would take a whisper if
that's all you had to give.
But it isn't, isn't
You could come and save me
and try to chase the crazy
right out of my head.
I'm out on the edge and
I'm screaming my name like a fool
at the top of my lungs.
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend I'm all right
but it's never enough.
'Cause my echo, echo
is the only voice coming back.
Shadow, shadow
is the only friend that I have.
I don't want to be an island,
I just want to feel alive,
and get to see your face again.
I don't want to be an island,
I just want to feel alive,
and get to see your face again.
Once again,
Just my echo,
my shadow,
You're my only friend and
I'm out on the edge and
I'm screaming my name like a fool
at the top of my lungs.
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend I'm all right
but it's never enough.
Just my echo, echo
Oh, my shadow, shadow
Hello, Hello
Anybody out there?
I really identify this song with Damon, as with Stefan gone and believing that he'll never have Elena, he's feeling completely alone (which he seems fine with most of the time but buried inside it hurts him). The part about "You could come and save me and try to chase the crazy right out of my head", I feel that relates to Stefan. If Stefan was back home, then Damon wouldn't feel so trapped into being responsible for everyone's well being. Damon could see that as "the crazy" in his head and Stefan coming home would be saving him from that, as well as the craziness of keeping his feelings for Elena in check (which is infinitely harder with the amount of time he's spending with her).
Also, the "I just want to feel alive and get to see your face again" part could refer to Elena, as I believe he only feels "alive" when he's with her and not holding back. Seeing her face again could refer to him wanting to be able to look directly into her eyes without having to maintain the distance he's deliberately keeping between them in Stefan's absence.
I have no idea if that makes any kind of sense to anyone, but there it is. I guess you could say I've had Damon on the brain lately ;)
