Songs and Characters

[Manifus Alcantar]

Have you ever heard a song and thought "That is my character!"?

Well, here is your chance to put down the song and the character(s) that it goes to! (I get that all the time, and it helps my building process for many of the characters)

Of course, not all of us will know the character or the song, so forth and so on. This is just curiousity.

Also, you can post songs that you think fit other characters. This lets others know how you percieve them in a way, and might help in and of itself. Could be fun ;D

[Manifus Alcantar]

I'll start, with an example:

Character: Neverborn

Song: Sredni Vashtar, By Faith and the Muse

Time to show some sharper teeth
Time to grow a thicker skin
Time to drop the seventh veil and let some madness wander in
This is not a darker age
Just the turning of the wheel
I am here to reassure we never really had control
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
What is luxury today will be necessity tomorrow
This is not a way of life
Your future past betrays its values
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
Do
One
Thing
For
Me
Time to show some sharper teeth
Time to grow a thicker skin
Time to drop the seventh veil and let some madness wander in
This is not a darker age
Just the turning of the wheel
I am here to reassure we never really had control
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind
This world was never kind
So separate your present mind

Song: Losing My Religion by R.E.M.

Life is bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I set it up

That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I’m
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why? Try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

Character: Aaryana NeThora

Song: Watch Your Back by Michael Learns To Rock

In her eyes you see
she'll bring you down to your knees
And your mind will bend
She'll get to you in the end

The wolf inside her is never satisfied
She's like a spider and you could be the fly

Hold on
She's like a love attack
you better watch your back
Cause you don't wanna be the victim of her crazy fantasies

When you feel her breath
you st-stutter an S.O.S.
The queen of hearts
is coming to tear you apart

She brings some heavy weather on you
Your brain gets cloudy
There's nothing you can do

Hold on
She's like a love attack
you better watch your back
Cause you don't wanna be the victim of her crazy fantasies
So you better face the fact
and take a big step back
Cause you don't wanna be the victim of her crazy fantasies

Don't wanna loose yourself in her
Don't wanna take that chance

Hold on
She's like a love attack
you better watch your back
Cause you don't wanna be the victim of her crazy fantasies
So you better face the fact
and take a big step back
Cause you don't wanna be the victim of her crazy fantasies

Song: Now Comes The Night by Rob Thomas

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No, you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No, you will not be alone

And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No, you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid

When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No, I will not leave you crying
No, I will not let you down
No, I will not let you down
I will not let you down

Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains?
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Until the end of our days

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No, you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No, you will not be alone

[Clockworkchicken]

I was listening one of my favourite songs, and I really thought: that's Aaron! Well, actually I was thinking of two songs, but one was a little too ruthless.

Character: Aaron Overland

Song: No leaf clover, by Metallica

And it feels right this time
On his crash course with the big time
Paid no mind to the distant thunder
Today filled his head with wonder... boy

Says it feels right this time
Turn around and found the right line
Good day to be alive... sir
Good day to be alive he said

Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Sucker for that quick reward... boy
Sucker for that quick reward they said

Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way
It's comin' your way
It's comin your way
It comes!

Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train comin your way

Then it comes to be... yeah

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

and this one, though it has been this song for some time already. Don't let Larry's calm outside fool you, in his mind, it's a chaos

Character: Larry Overland

Song: Stories with unhappy endings, 100 reasons

Why tread so carefully for the fourth time I am okay
It pleases when you hear more
Stories with unhappy endings
Is your life so prefect that you would not fall down with crushed humility?
The sorrows of others that fuels you to judge us a waste of all energy
These are my words for you so listen carefully stand still
Advice is always genius negatively it's all that you do
This is a mixture of clouded out takes
I stopped treading carefully I told you I was fucking fine
In trying to communicate
You sit there with covered ears
Do you have the grounds to shed tears when I'm trying to get through to you?
It has to be said as we've done this before and I won't go through it all again
These are my words for you so listen carefully stand still
Advice is always genius negatively it's all that you do
This is a mixture of clouded out takes
With you burned this bases on what you said to me
Come on

don't mind the lyrics, it's the song that counds

[Calli]

Character: Calli

(Right after Calli losing her soul mate I was listening to my Evanescence CD and when this song came on I was like -gasp- This is perfect!)

My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here.
Suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave.
your presence still lingers here,
and it won't leave me alone.

These wounds won't seem to heal,
this pain is just too real,
there's just too much that time cannot erase.

(chrous)
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...
All of me.

You used to captivate me by your resonating light,
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams
Your voice has chased away all the sanity in me.

These wounds won't seem to heal,
this pain is just too real,
there's just too much that time cannot erase.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...
All of me.

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
But though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...
All of me.

[SoulofTwilight]

Well, I don't know how many people know it but I've had Twilight sense the beginning, and over time he's changed a lot.

In the beginning his song was, "Let the bodies hit the floor" by Drowning Pool. Mainly because he killed a lot of people.

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor Beaten why for
Can't take much more
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now
Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again
This is the end
Skin against skin blood and bone
You're all by yourself but you're not alone
You wanted in now you're here
Driven by hate consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floor

Then, after a while it was "Getting Away With Murder" by Papa Roach. Just because I was at a point where anyone who tried to kill him or vice-versa didn't survive. I got away with it for a while.

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

[Chorus]

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
With murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster

[Chorus 2x]

But recently he's become a lot more mellow. You know? He doesn't have that "I gotta' kill everyone" attitude anymore. It's more that, "Let the fuckin' place burn... I don't care..." So right now I really haven't heard anything and I can't think of anything that expresses him as he is.

[Mistakes]

Character: Translucide
Song: As ugly as I seemWhite Stripes

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
And it makes me want to scream
When it's halloween
And the kids are laughing
The rogue is a bank he's never broke
But worth as much as a joke that no one is laughing at

Can you believe some things are not
Appealing and there's a spot
On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom
And can these dreams you can't imagine
Will never match the vision
That you had decided for me
You are to take away from me
Things that are mine and it's not your right
Out that you'd wouldn't expect to find out
Can it be that I don't want what you want?
And the only thing I could care for
Is a place in a home that is safe and warm
Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm

Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me

-------------------------------------------

Character: Creadon
Song: Mental EELS

Mental

Its like im dressed up in my mothers clothing
its like im talking to a voice that doesnt exist
its like i got a wire crossed upstairs
but all i want is just a little truth and thats it

they say im mental but im just confused
thay say im mental but ive been abused
they say im mental cause im not amused my it all

another anchor man is on the T.V.
he's got that far away and vacant look in his eyes
i turn the channel but nothings changing
the only truth is that everythings a lie

they say im mental but im just confused
thay say im mental but ive been abused
they say im mental cause im not amused my it all

there's truth in everything
there's truth in lies
with all this knowledge
i think im gonna be wise

they say im mental but im just confused
thay say im mental but ive been abused
they say im mental cause im not amused my it all
not at all
not at all

[Elanorîn]

Songs for characters I don't play!

Right, after seeing your amendment of the rules, Manifus I thought I would post a few songs that I have come across. They might not be anywhere near where the players behind them think but perhaps it's fun to see how they get perceived. I would love comments from y'all. ^^ First up is one of yours Manifus! ;D



Character: Sirrico The Blackwind

Song: In The Shadows, by The Rasmus

No sleep
No sleep until I am done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes
I feel I going down and so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

In the shadows

In the shadows

They say
That i must learn to kill before i can feel safe
But I
I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

Lately I been walking walking in circles, watching waiting for something
Feel me touch me heal me, come take me higher

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
I've been watching
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been living for tomorrows

In the shadows

In the shadows
I've been waiting

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Character: Twyti Hosanora (I have no idea how thisone cropped up in my mind... she's an NPC but a well played one...

Song: Nothing Else Matters, by Metallica

So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There will be more, especially for Soul of Twilight But hard choices... I'll be back.

[Manifus Alcantar]

Weeeeeeeeeeee, Sirrico! Very fitting in some parts, lyric-wise. I have a number of songs that fit that character, almost too many. Lots of songs fit him, somehow.

Character: Sirrico, the Black Wind

Song: Through the Pale Door, by Faith and the Muse

Welcome my dear
Please take my hand
It's wonderful here
It's really quite grand
The moment still
Await the hour
The Masquerade for
Time's dead flowers

Dancing and reeling
We move beneath shadows
We've hung from the ceiling
All memory receding
Take leave of all reason
In step with the bleeding

Chapter & Verse
The lyrics take flight
Red is the day as
Red is the night
The hours pass
The years expire
The dance goes on
We spin on fire

Laughing and screaming
A wide-awake nightmare
Diseased and believing
In mourning-deceiving
Ever in motion and ever in grieving

Welcome my dear
Please take my hand
It's wonderful here
It's really quite grand

Dancing and reeling
We move beneath shadows
We've hung from the ceiling
All memory receding
Take leave of all reason
In step with the bleeding

Shadows now descending
To join in the Madness
The song never-ending
The wounds never mending
Wretched in countenance
The fear not transcending

---------------------------------------------

Song: Crawling, by Linkin Park

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real


There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/Confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem


To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/Confusing what is real
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/Confusing what is real

---------------------------------------------

Song: Leading Us Along, by Chevelle

Some will learn many do
Cover up or spread it out
Turn around had enough
Pick and choose or pass it on
Buying in heading for
Suffer now or suffer then
It's bad enough I want the fear
Need the fear cause he's alone

(And he has become)
He's alone
(And he has become)

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

After all what's the point
Course levitation is possible
If you're a fly achieved and gone
There's time for this and so much more
It's typical create a world
A special place of my design
To never cope or never care
Just use the key cause he's alone

(And he has become)
He's alone
(And he has become)

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic held before

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
Like a cancer caused (cancer caused)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
And their panic makes remorse

[Elanorîn]

Nice to know I got it close!

I've found another for Elanorîn.

Song: All That I Am, by Rob Thomas

I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am

I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am

And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am

I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am

I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I am the blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in
I'll show you all that I am

And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am


Well... she is a cleric of Ilmater after all.

[SoulofTwilight]

Alright, I had a moment yesterday when I thought. Perfect. The song is called "I stand alone" and the artist is Godsmack. It fits so perfectly because Twilight is basically a loner. He doesn't need anybody, all though he'd like to have someone. He can stand by himself in battle or in life, because he's been through a lot of shit already.

Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna pay
Now I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm picking you outa me
you run away
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen
I'll never rest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside of me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
And now its my time (now its my time)
It's my time to dream (my time to dream)
Dream of the sky (dream of the sky)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside of me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
