Medium: Book
Fandom: Percy Jackson & the Olympians
Subject: Nico di Angelo
Title: Decay and Necrophiliacs
Warnings: Rather generic spoilers for the whole series as this touches on his character arc in general. ... Also, um, there's at least one song that is relevant to the title.
Notes: Special thanks to mythologiced for 'betaing' the mix for me and encouraging me to do it in the first place.
"You know, death is a worry of the living. The dead like myself only worry about decay and necrophiliacs." - Dogma (1999)
☠ Track list and download link after the cut
Frustrated Unnoticed by Damone ☠ o1
[GAME START! Annoying Little Brother, LVL 1]
I'm rockin a bmx bike
I'm rockin a muscle head car
I freestyle where ever I go woah-oh
I don't cry whenever I fall
And I can run as fast as anyone I know
My heart is strong, I'll be the one who takes control
Landslide by Dixie Chicks ☠ o2
[Bianca & Nico, from beginning to end]
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder, children get older
I'm getting older too, well, I'm getting older too
Disappear by Letters to Cleo ☠ o3
[The fatal flaw of Hades children - holding grudges]
You could disappear tomorrow, who would care
It's not like the retribution would end there
You could disappear
Wonderful by Everclear ☠ o4
[Nico can't let go]
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Into the Dark by Juliana Theory ☠ o5
[Downward spiral]
Mom, your baby is on his way.
He'll soon be at your side.
Cause he's forgotten all he's known.
A part of him has died.
Mom may never understand why baby's come and gone.
He left home to find his own, now all he has are lies.
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day ☠ o6
[Choosing solitude over returning to Camp]
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
Wake Up by Arcade Fire ☠ o7
[Rejection of society]
Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.
But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.
Perfect Memory by Remy Zero ☠ o8
[It never stops hurting... you just learn to live with the pain]
I still miss you
God I still miss you
I know that you are waiting there
I always thought that you'd come home
Changes by Butterfly Boucher (feat. David Bowie) ☠ o9
[Growing up]
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Let It Be by The Beatles ☠ 1o
[Letting go]
And when the night is cloudy,
there is still a light that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow,
let it be.
I'm Still Here by Johnny Rzeznik ☠ 11
[Hero again]
And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
Bury My Lovely by October Project ☠ 12
[Mindwiped for your own protection]
A figure in the hallway light
Returning like a ghost
Something that was left behind
Something in a child's mind
I Walked With a Zombie by R.E.M. ☠ 13
[Becoming a half-blood prince of the Underworld]
I walked with a Zombie.
I walked with a Zombie.
I walked with a Zombie last night.
Graveyard Picnic by Voltaire ☠ 14
[OK it can get creepy sometimes]
When I find the living a bore
There's a place I go
I answer the call, go over a wall
Where the crosses are all in a row
Don't Fear the Reaper by Unto Ashes ☠ 15
[Ghost King]
All our times have come
Here, but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
BONUS TRACKS
[Only for those with a sense of humor]
Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. ☠ 16
['Camp Halfblood' fits nicely in place of 'Ghostbusters' when singing along in the car, FYI]
I ain't afraid of no ghosts
I here it likes the girls
I ain't afraid of no ghost
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Zombie Prostitute by Voltaire ☠ 17
[...Ahem. Yeah, you all thought it at least once.]
I was alone, and I needed a date;
I was takin' a walk past the cemetery gate
When I, I saw a sign that said "For a good time
"Take a left down at Tombstone Number 8".
Life's Gonna Suck by Dennis Leary ☠ 18
[I don't know why but this just makes me think Nico.]
You're gonna hafta deal with stress
Deal with stress, deal with stress.
You're gonna be a giant mess
When you get back from the war.
