Themes of Splitmind's life:

Different: "When I Look at the World," by U2.

Falling Apart: "The Clairvoyant", by Iron Maiden

On the Run: "Futureal," by Iron Maiden

Paranoia: "Locked in a Box," Silent Hill II soundtrack, by Akira Yamaoka

Hope: "People Imprisoned by Destiny," Chrono Cross Soundtrack, by Yasunori Mitsuda

There were a few other songs where the lyrics seemed right but the music didn't fit at all.

Flicker's current theme is "Is it Real?" by Yoko Kanno, lyrics by Tim Jensen:

Figurines that fall like leaves then disappear, keep calling

Is it real? Is it real?

Dark machines that wheeze and breathe then mock the air, appalling

What is real? What is real?

This world can really be too much

I can't take another day

I guess that I've just had enough

My mind's slipping far away

I'm falling in and out of touch

Could someone please explain?

Set my mind for open sky, but couldn't fly, so sadly

What am I? What am I?

Sullen eyes shed teardrop lies then criticize, now laughing

What is real? What is real?

It's really all become too much

I'm not sure what I should feel

I guess I've finally had enough

I don't know if this is real

I'm crashing in and out of touch

Can anyone explain?

Alright, it dawned on me that prolly some you may not liste to Trans Siberian Orchestra, so I'm gonna post the lyrics for it. By all means, lemme know what you think.

And here in the night

As I feel the inferno

I stare in the dark

Thinking ‘What is eternal’?

The man or the moment

The act or the reason

These thoughts fill my head

As I contemplate treason.

Of dreams I have had

And dreams I have pondered

When late in the night

My mind it would wander

To things I have done

And quickly regretted

While denying vices

My life had selected

And I think what I’ve done

Or have yet to begin

And the man I’ve become

And the man that I’ve been

Now caught in a waltz

With the eternal dancer

I'm courted by Death

But death isn’t the answer

I say

All I was

Meant to be

Could I

Suddenly

Just decide

Not a thought

Would survive

Could it be

My life’s worth

Ended there

With my birth

If I could see someone

Who’s been there before me

And traded his soul

For a moment of glory

His penance or mercy

By spirits debated

While judged on a scale

That’s been heavily weighted

And what have I done

Could there be such a sin

In this man I’ve become

In this man that I’ve been

Now calling to god

From the pits very bottom

I pray he forgives

Every sin I’ve forgotten

This day

And who would have thought

That my fate it would conjure

This twist on the road

On which I have wandered

Each vision and dream now

Completely dismembered

To give one’s whole life

And find nothing’s

Remembered

And what good is a life

That leaves nothing behind

Not a thought or a dream

That might echo in time

The years and the hours

The seconds and minutes

And everything that

My life has placed in it

Betrayed

Betrayed

Betrayed

The things I have done

The places I’ve been

The cost of my dreams

The weight of my sins

And everything that

I've gathered in life

Could it be lost?

Could it be lost in this

Could it be lost in this

Night

This one might fit Rev, not sure if he'd agree:

Disturbed- Prayer

There are actually several I can think of for Artemis, since no-one's really a "flat" character...

Adrenaline high: Sunna- Power Struggle

Cracking up: Evanescence- Whisper

Infatuation: Garbage- You Look So Fine

And, at Rev's insistence: Metallica- Of Wolf and Man

For Emily, The Fuel by Sneaker Pimps, although she hasn't been around enough for anyone to get much of the realtion between the song and her, I'm leaving it here:

I've got the fuel in my head from the flesh I need to break sweat

I've got the feeling I might get offence if I might be some threat

Want back doors, want blood on the sheets again

Give me back doors, give me blood on sheets again

I feel the fuel like a fan cutting deep

I want to see you cheap

Like a rose on a bed without scent I need my self-respect

For shames sake by any other name

When the seeds take it grows like weeds and spreads like flames

I've got the fuel but the fuel got me burning me up when it fires again, fires

again

I've got the fuel but the fuel got me

Bringing me off when it cools again, cools again, cools again, cools again

I've got the fuel but the fuel got me burning me up when it fires again, fires

again

I've got the fuel but the fuel got me

Bringing me off when it cools again, cools again, cools again, cools again

I wonder if that's related to another appropriate song: The Ballad of Barry Allen, by Jim's Big Ego.

"And I'm there before you know it
I'll be gone before you see me
Do you think you can imagine
Anything so lonely
By the time you know what's happened
There'll be someone else who needs me
And time keeps dragging on..."

Gypsy

Luminary - My World

Its a little late love the night is caving in

Lights hang overhead like stars - my dress is black as sin

And the music is low and my body is yours

Wont you hold me tight until they close the doors

And the rythm is smooth like the sea against the sand

And i tremble with each touch of your hand

You dont really know me and i dont recall your name

But i like the way your body moves and i know you feel the same

So welcome to the club life baby step into my world

I dont care if you got much cash, if youre a boy or a girl

Its the way you wear your hair, your careless little smile

Its the way you dance with me until im spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning yeah

Some might call it a one night stand, but i dont really care

Its far to late to define this and we cannot stay here

So its out into the street, and its out into the night

And its so long to this love affair, so i'll kiss you goodbye

Machina feels left out of this one.

'Bored and Extremely Dangerous', by Bad Religion

With nothing better to do

No one to come home to

I woefully conclude

to take it out on you

I'm bored to the extreme

with this world of foolish dreams

Disillusion

I'm not who I seem to be

Yeah, sure I might do harm

and bear my right to arm

Retribution

If only someone would listen to me

A room and empty shelf

A book on mental health

I look for inner wealth

I'm punishing myself

I'm bored to the extreme

with this world of foolish dreams

Disillusion

I'm not who I seem to be

Yeah sure I might do harm

and bear my right to arm

Retribution

If only someone would listen to me
