Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
~ Eminem (feat. Rihanna), "Love The Way You Lie"
How Lord Raith treats his daughters, pitting his Hunger against theirs and making them crave what he does to them. As Thomas says, even Lara cannot stand against him, even she hopes for his love despite knowing it is a lie.
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
You're a loaded gun, yeah
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
~ Bon Jovi, "You Give Love A Bad Name"
How Lara appears to her prey, and ensnares them in lust and passion.
Nobody could hurt me like I know she could hurt me
But there's nothing in this world that I want more
Nobody could take me to the places that she takes me
Places that I've never been before
With my eyes wide open knowing full well
I could fall from heaven
~ Evan and Jaron, "I Could Fall"
How a White Court vampire's prey feels, knowing deep down that something is Not Right, but unable to say no to what they can offer.
So you're the kind who deals with the
Games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that
I've never known
So break me shake me hate me
Take me over
~ Savage Garden, "Break me Shake Me"
After enough time, the prey becomes addicted and craves the ecstacy of being fed on, coming back over and over and over again.
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
~ Madonna, "Revolver"
But life ends only one way for prey of the White Court...
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
~ Meredith Brooks, "B*tch"
How Lara presents herself/appears to the rest of the world, as a woman capable of many, many roles and yet at the core still very very dangerous.
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide
Given into this sensation, feel I've run too far
Cannot see beyond emotion, see what the options are
With no faith to trust the notion, I fear I'm losing all control
~ Poets of the Fall, "Desire"
The danger lurks for all vampires of the White Court, that sometime they will lose themselves, be left with nothing but Hunger. The key is in avoiding it.
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel
~ Dido, "Who Makes You Feel"
Their appeal to humans is simple, the promise of unearthly pleasure and desire. And it is, often, enough.
Fictitious and so real
Love's a onetime deal
With a delicious dark appeal
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
~ Poets of the Fall, "Delicious"
Through her control of the entertainment industry, Lara (and her family) attempt to spin love into something fictional and unattainable, leaving behind only lust and emptiness.
I want your love and
All your lovers' revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Caught in a bad romance
~ Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance"
The White Court's manifesto, practically, is to seduce and trap its prey in empty, hollow romances...
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
~ Death Cab for Cutie, "I Will Possess Your Heart"
And Lara does not rest until she has possession of what she wants, mind body and soul.
Not one expression on that face
Will ever give her game away
No more emotion, nor a trace
And so you beg for her to stay
Where does the love of Pandora
Not leave destruction in its wake
~ Roisin Murphy, "Pandora"
At the end of the day, she is what she is. An affable monster who will destroy those who stand against her.
