FANMIX: FIXING TO GET LOST (NYX - KIDEN NIXON)
In my last post I said I was working on a mix that would interest absolutely no one. This is that mix. But hey, maybe you'll like the songs?

Title: Fixing To Get Lost
Warnings: Implied violence, near death experience.
Notes: Minor spoilers, but nothing you wouldn't infer from the blurb. Kiden's monologue is slightly paraphrased for length, but taken directly from NYX Wannabe, part four. It's about runaway mutant teenagers.
NO PISTOL COULD GET YOU / NO RIFLE COULD SHOOT FAST ENOUGH
1/ Youth // DAUGHTER
cause most of our feelings / they are dead and they are gone / we're setting fire to our insides for fun
"Okay, one more time. I can do this thing... it's tough to... it's like this. I can slow down time. I have no idea how I do it. All I know is that each time I have, everything has gone to shit."
2/ Gun Shy // WIDOWSPEAK
you're still a wild one / but what is it you're running from / all scared / like you're staring down the barrel of the gun
"After that last time in the school, all I could think of doing was running. Running. Running like the stupid shit I am. No doubt I was in big trouble. I had to put it in the wind, fast. But I needed to do something first. I needed to see if you were okay. Except, it looked like the entire school had the same idea."
3/ Never Understand // ASOBI SEKSU*
not wishing to hide but you just can't see me / I tell you the truth but you don't believe me
"Couldn't go home. Couldn't go back to school. Cops would be looking for me everywhere. At first, living on the streets didn't seem that bad."
4/ There Is A Light That Never Goes Out // DUM DUM GIRLS**
I never never want to go home / because I haven't got one anymore
"But that shit loses its luster real fast. Still, some good came out of it. I figured out how I turned on my... my... um, thing. A little anger goes a long way. I also figured out how I turned it off. All I had to do was touch someone. So, I decided to keep it on for a while."
5/ She Owns The Streets // THE RAVEONETTES
yeah she’s dancing, dancing, dancing in the street / dancing, dancing, dancing in the street / she owns, she owns, she owns the streets
"I got to tell you, the longer I did, the more euphoric it felt, it reminded me of... when I was- Do you know what it's like to dance between raindrops? Anyway, I just started walking, it just kind of seemed like the thing to do. I had no idea I had gone so far."
6/ Tonight // LOVERS
I feel everything in secret / where have you been sleeping?
"After about four months of watching three days crawl by, I got bored. So, I decided to reach out and touch someone. His name was Alex, sweet kid. He was homeless too, but had a heck of a large family."
7/ Destroy Everything You Touch // LADYTRON (HOT CHIP REMIX)
destroy me this way / anything that may delay you / might just save you
"Five months later, Alex decided he was homesick. It got me thinking about my family. Took me a couple of days to thumb back to Alphabet City. Of course the first person I ran into was my loser brother, Ty. After thinking about it for a bit I figured it was a mistake coming home."
8/ Triangle Walks // FEVER RAY
I need to rest / lay down for a while, disconnect / the night was so long / the day even longer / lay down for a while, recollect
"It was that night that I saw my father for the first time. He needed me to do something."
9/ L.E.S Artistes // SANTOGOLD***
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up / if I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
"Save your life."
