[soundtrack] echoes that are beat when the bass goes bomb

Oct 24, 2007 00:22


We're In This Together :: Nine Inch Nails (claire, kind of obviously)

I've become impossible // holding on to when// when everything seemed to matter more // the two of us // all used and beaten up // watching fate as it flows down the path we have chosen // you and me we're in this together now // none of them can stop us now // we will make it through somehow // you and me if the world should break in two // until the very end of me // until the very end of you

The Thing I Hate :: Stabbing Westward (powered folks who for The Man >:E)

Nothing that you hold sacred, nothing you believe // Your life is a contradiction // While you thrive on manipulation // I fight to just hold on to what I believe // I won't become the thing I hate // I won't become you

Riot On Broadway :: The Living End (the resistance)

Pirate stations in the harbour // Sending a message to the wireless // A warning to all tonight // There'll be no remorse tonight // The flag is burning as we speak // So when the lights go out // You'll hear them scream and shout // Riot on Broadway // Lights out on the town // Riot on Broadway // Anger burns the city to the ground

Bleed American :: Jimmy Eat World (the government sucks :( )

I bled the greed from my arm.Won't they give it a rest now?Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt.Our hearts littering the topsoil.Tune in and we can get the last call.Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt, our hearts littering the topsoil.Sign up it's the picket line or the parade.

One Many Army :: Our Lady Peace (west takes a lot of pride in being part of the resistance, y)

Take these plastic people // Read their lips now let it linger // Is there anything that makes them sound sincere? // C'mon tightly hold your hand, take a deep breath, give them the finger // Are you worried that the thought's not quite clear? (twitch) // Overlooked unfit appearance // I remember falling, I remember marching // Like a one man army // Through the blaze I know I'm coughing // I believe in something // I don't wanna remember falling for their lies // Unbutton your clothes undress your soul show them your vigor // Are those inhibitions easiest to fear? // C'mon take this gasoline tin head up high // Walk like a winner // Let the bare feet be the last sound that they hear

She's a Rebel :: Green Day (moar claire; having a person to fight for and not just a cause)

She's the symbol of resistance // And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade // Is she dreaming what I'm thinking // Is she the mother of all bombs // Gonna detonate // Is she trouble like I'm trouble // Make it a double twist of fate // She's a rebel  // She's a saint She's salt of the earth // And she's dangerous // She's a rebel Vigilante // Missing link on the brink Of destruction

My Violent Heart :: Nine Inch Nails (blah blah FIGHT THE POWAR - important because west really believes they can win, even if...they probably can't)

You and I, we may look the same // But we are very far apart // There's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be // And there is violence in my heart // Into fire you can send us // From the fire we return // You can label us a consequence // Of how much you have to learn // You can try but you'll never understand // This is something you will never understand // Can you hear it now? // Hear it coming now? // Can you hear it now? // On hands and knees // We crawl // You cannot stop us all // you wear our bones our skin // We will not let you in // You have set something in motion // Much greater than you've ever known // Standing there in all your grand naivety // About to reap what you have sown // Time will feed upon your weaknesses // And soon you'll lose the will to care // When you return to the place that you call home // We will be there, we will be there // On hands and knees // We crawl // You cannot stop us all // Our blood will stain // We will not go away // On hands and knees // We crawl // You can not stop us all // Our blood, our grace // Will never leave this place

Backwoods Nation :: Pedro the Lion (angry west is angry.  it's a theme.)

Calling all rednecks to put down their sluggers // Turn their attention from beating the buggers // Pick up machine guns and kill camel fuckers (Backwoods nation) // Calling all doctors of spin and the smoke screen // To whip the new hateriots into a frenzy // Of good versus evil ignoring the history // Of the Backwoods Nation // Ain't it a shame // When due process // Stands in the way of swift justice // Calling all frat' boys // To trade in their hazing // Their keggers and cocaine // And casual date raping // For cabinet appointments // And rose-garden tapings (Backwoods nation)

History :: Joseph Arthur (claire was, west thinks, this little girl once)

You're the shaded sun // You're daddy's broken gun // You're the loneliest moon // You are a butterfly // dreaming about your cocoon // You're the only sound when I am blind // So I label you mine // You're the house you grew up in // You're always just arriving at your end // You're your mama's shit eatin' grin and your daddy's double chin // You're the first pair of shoes you ever went to school in // And you're the kid pretending she's in prison // Behind the bars of a jungle gym // Someone's gonna give you wings // And you'll think it's what you need // And you'll fly // You'll be so high // But your history acts as your gravity // Your history acts as your gravity acts as your history acts as your gravity

American Idiot :: Green Day (never enough angry songs about the government, okay, eat it)

Don't want to be an American idiot // Don't want a nation under the new media // And can you hear the sound  of hysteria? The subliminal mind fuck America // Welcome to a new kind of tension // All across the alienation // Where everything isn't meant to be okay // Television dreams of tomorrow // We're not the ones meant to follow.  For that's enough to argue.

C'mon C'mon :: The Von Bondies (everyone misses the way things were.  even west.)
On another day c'mon c'mon // With these ropes tied tight can we do no wrong // Now we grieve 'cause now it's gone // Things were good when we were young // With my teeth bite down I can see the blood // Of a thousand men who have come and gone // Now we grieve 'cause now it's gone // Things were good when we were young // Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon) // Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon) // Will I ever learn? (c'mon c'mon) // (c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon) // As I make my way c'mon c'mon // Through these battered nights that seem too long // Now we grieve 'cause now it's gone // Things were good when we were young // With my teeth bite down I can see the blood // Of a thousand men who have come and gone // Now we grieve 'cause now it's gone // Things were good when we were young // And on this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast // Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truths // Of a time gone by that now is through

Unmarked Helicopters :: Soul Coughing (sylatrelli's gonna GETCHU; bonus relevance for helicopters FLYING)

but i know the truth // i know the whole shebang // i know the names of men they had to hang // i let her out the trunk // heard what she said at them // they've come to drag us through the double M // it goes black black black black and blacker // unmarked helicopters hovering // the lord is coming soon // unmarked helicopters hovering // they said it was a weather balloon // it was a weather balloon

Devil :: The Servant (sometimes, it's kind of weird working for the guy who uh, abducted you.  you know, like it is.)

Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette // Knocking this morning a black silhouette // Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette // And his eyes were glowing like two lit cigarettes  // Me and the devil were standing side by side // I looked in the mirror into my own eyes // Me and the devil were standing side by side // He held out his claws and I began to rise // I got me and the devil blues // Me and the devil blues // "I know you know it’s time to go" // I got me and the devil blues

On Your Feet Again :: Tonic (at the end of the day no matter what else is going on, happy!claire is always going to be important to west, particularly making sure she's okay, since uh, he kind of ripped her out of her quasi-stable-hidey life)

I'll pick you up beneath the stars // When you slowly fade // Beneath the blue skies above // We'll all look the same // You just need something // To get you on your feet again // You picked a life that you can't trust // And it makes you mad // And all along you wonder why // You just feel sad // If you feel like love // Can get you on your feet again // You just need something // To get you on your feet again // Did they give you more than your life could keep // Does it speak to you when you fall asleep // Can you walk away from all that you know // Could you hide the strength // Would you let it show

soundtrack, ooc, everything must be stylized
