as i was thinking of what would be a good song for anything i'd been reading today, my pandora station played the perfect song. i've been reading "darkly dreaming Dexter" for the last 2 hours and am halfway through. granted, i've watched the show so i know the premise and the characters pretty well already. as soon as this song started playing, it clicked. Dexter has this 'dark passenger' inside of him, and at the point i'm at in the book at this very moment, it is speaking to him again. telling him it is time to kill again. the repetition of 'i could do most anything to you' in the song is so fitting--Dexter is a serial killer, he has no conscience, no feelings. the song also has such a creepy vibe with the breathy, repetitive vocals, which builds and builds until it finally ends.
