01. Prologue -- Loreena McKennitt
[instrumental]
02. Venus -- Theatre Of Tragedy
Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria
De tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere
Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radii,
Sicut splendor fulguris lucem donat tenebris
(About my heart, many are the sighs
For your beauty, wounding me painfully
Your shining eyes are like sunbeams,
Like the glow of the lightning, they give light into darkness)
03. Hysteria -- Muse
It's bugging me, grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah, I'm endlessly caving in
And turning inside out
'Cause I want it now, I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out, I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
04. More Than This -- The Cure
Make believe in magic, make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible; nothing as it seems
See, touch, taste, smell, hear, but never know if it's real
Another second of my life, not knowing if it's true
Make believe in nothing is all I want of you
Whisper me a secret, whisper me there is
Always something other, something more than this
05. I Need To Know -- Anthony Warlow (Jekyll & Hyde)
I need to go where no man has ventured before
To search for the key to the door
That will end all this tragic and senseless decay
But how to go? I need to know
I need to learn the secrets of the mind
That we cannot discern
I need to learn the things that make
Men pass the point of no return
Why does a wise man take leave of his senses?
Where is that fine line where sanity melts?
When does intelligence give way to madness?
A moment comes when a man becomes something else
06. Fallen -- Sarah McLachlan
Heaven bend to take my hand and lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer to a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best, but somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen, I have sunk so low
I have messed up, better I should know
So don't come round here and tell me I told you so
07. Dr. Worm -- They Might Be Giants
They call me Dr. Worm
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm
I'm interested in things
I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm
I am an actual worm, I live like a worm
I like to play the drums
I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism
I'll show you what I know and you can
Tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums
I'll leave the front unlocked 'cause I can't hear the doorbell
08. Chemistry -- Semisonic
I remember when I found out about chemistry
It was a long, long way from here
I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be
Suddenly my mission was clear
So for a while I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
Oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know?
09. Short Skirt/Long Jacket -- Cake
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry, she's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket
10. She Blinded Me With Science -- Thomas Dolby
But it's poetry in motion, and now she making love to me
The spheres are in commotion, the elements in harmony
She blinded me with science, and hit me with technology
I don't believe it, there she goes again
She's tidied up, and I can't find anything
All my tubes and wires, and careful notes
And antiquated notions, but it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me, as deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony, she blinded me with science
11. Such Great Heights -- The Postal Service
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images, and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God Himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes, like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
And when I am missing you to death
12. A Dangerous Mind -- Within Temptation
I'm searching for answers 'cause something is not right
I follow the signs, I'm close to the fire
I fear that soon you'll reveal your dangerous mind
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind
I fear your smile and the promise inside
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind
I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside
I'm searching for answers not questioned before
The curse of awareness, there's no peace of mind
As your true colours show a dangerous sign
13. A Thousand Words -- Savage Garden
Time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cross, shed my skin, call you up, and then
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore
14. O Captain My Captain -- David Broza
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won
Exult O shores, and ring O bells! But I, with mournful tread
Walk the deck my Captain lies, fallen cold and dead
15. Ivory Tower -- Blackmore's Night
I stood upon the Ivory Tower
As far as I could see
The winds that grew from out of the trees
Were calling out to me
Curtains blew in the Ivory Tower; willows start to bend
The ravens flew to escape the fury as the storm descends
I followed fortune 'round the tower
Searching in vain
For through the mist 'round the old stone tower
I only found rain
And though the cold, cold Ivory Tower
Was stony through and through
I laid and dreamed on a featherbed, my dream was of you
16. Kuolema Tekke Taiteilijan -- Nightwish
Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain
En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan
Oman taivaan tänne loin
Anna minun päästä pois
(Only once I could see my dream
Didn't feel the smallness under the stars
Once I got bars in my cradle
As a prisoner I write a letter from there
My own heaven I created here
Let me get away)
17. The Edge -- Lifehouse
Flowers are blowing in the wind, and I can see the sun
Setting on the hill; it's almost gone, and the
Hills are greener than I've ever seen
And this feels too real to be just another dream
Now don't let me leave this moment, hold me in this place
Where everything is clearer than of all before
And everything makes sense
And you say - stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
Take a breath and tell me what you see
18. Zzyxz Rd. -- Stone Sour
Propped up by lies with promises, saving my place as life forgets
Maybe it's time I saw the world
I'm only here for awhile, but patience is not my style
And I'm so tired that I got to go
I'm over existing in limbo, I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away
I'm ready to live with my family, I'm ready to die in obscurity
'Cause I'm so tired that I got to go
What am I supposed to hide now? What am I supposed to do?
You still don't think I'm going to see this through?
Tell me I'm a part of history, tell me I can have it all
