Light vs Dark / Love vs Death
Contrast and compare the closeness and the intensity.



Puppet Strings - Zip
*post The Gift* Sick of Willow trying to use magic to fix everything, Tara constantly reassuring her that life gets better, Xander treating her like child; Dawn runs away to start over anywhere else. On her journey she runs into Jon, someone just as screwed up as she is. Together they spiral in and out trying to make sense of being fakes in a real world.

The Not So Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain the only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away but I remember everything
What have I become? My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away in the end
You could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down, I will make you hurt

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

The Real World - All American Rejects
This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it, when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I, the only one who thinks it's tragic
'Cause I know this can't be the real world now

Micro Cuts - Muse
Hands are red with your blame
Megaphone screaming my name whimpers someone I should've loved
Souls weeping above
I've seen what you're doing to me
Destroying puppet strings to our souls

Mad Season - Matchbox Twenty
Do you think you can cope? You figured me out?
That I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season
I feel stupid, but I think I've been catchin' on
I feel ugly, but I know I still turn you on
You've grown colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around

Feel The Quiet River Rage - Live
always try to explain, afraid to lay naked in the sun
he's crazy, she dances in the light
the crowd jeers, they won't put up a fight
hey, suffers the wound
never turns from love
give it up until my heart is free to roam
she won't never leave me alone
saved by the river now, saved

The World Is Not Enough - Garbage
People like us know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

Another Time, Another Place - Zip
*post Puppet Strings* Constantly on the move, living off what they can scavenge from dusted vamps and grateful would be vamp chow Dawn and Jon are in a dark place. Constantly struggling with the fear of having the tiny amount of home they've made with each other taken away if either the SGC or the Scoobies find them.

Leave A Scar - Marilyn Manson
So turn around, walk away
Before you confuse the way we abuse each other
If you're not afraid of getting hurt
Then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul, you thought was a smile

New Born - Muse
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Into The Void - Nine Inch Nails
tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
tried to overcome the complications and the catches
nothing ever grows and the sun doesn't shine all day
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Baba O'Riley - The Who
Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder.
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older.

Rattlesnake - Live
is it money, is it fame
what's in a name, shame?
is it money, is it fame
or were they always this lame?
it's a crazy, crazy mixed up town
but it's the rattlesnake I fear
in another place, in another time

Walk the Walk - Poe
Did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke
You think you've got it figured out and then you find that you don't
So you say goodbye to the world and now you're floating in space
You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place
Suddenly you hear it is the beat of your heart
And for the first time in your life you know your life is about to start
Oh, yeah, when you're alone

When I'm Gone - Simple Plan
I look around me, but all I seem to see,
Is people going no where, expecting sympathy.
It's like we're going through the motions,
Of a scripted destiny.
Tell me where's our inspiration,
If life wont wait, I guess it's up to me.

How Far We've Come - Matchbox Twenty
Waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out

Fight the Fight - Zip
Hope tinged with hopelessness. Fear eased by love. The world sucks but that's okay, humanity will survive even if they have to kill each other to do it. A world study of the contradiction of human existence in the Resident Evil movies.
Side A - It's Never Too Late
Never Too Late - Three Days Grace
Even if I say it'll be alright
Still I hear you say you want to end your life
Now and again we try to just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around, 'cause it's not too late
It's never too late

End of the Beginning - 30 Seconds To Mars
Here we are searching for a sign
It's the end here today, but I will build a new beginning
Take some time, find a place and I will start my own religion
As the day divides the night here we are searching for a sign
Watch the men multiply see them ease out of the circle
Watch your friends run and hide help them fall back in this cycle

The End - Simple Plan
I've been around the world and I've seen so many things
I can't even tell you where I'm going
But no matter where I'm heading and no matter what I do
Something keeps me coming back to you

Control - Poe
And at the end of it all lies of course the final
phenomenon of deterioration entropy, which is a predictable
disintegrations which the creative life ceases: everything has to fall apart.

Side B - It's Already Over
The End Is The Beginning Is The End - Smashing Pumpkins
Is it bright where you are, have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
The zeppelins rain upon us, the guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you, to defy the future cast

Until The End - Breaking Benjamin
Why give up, why give in? It's not enough, it never is.
So I will go on until the end.
We've become desolate. It's not enough, it never is.
But I will go on until the end.
Surround me, it's easy to fall apart completely.
I feel you creeping up again.
(In my head)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing colder.
I knew this day would come to end, so let this life begin.

Already Over - Red
I'd give it all to you letting go of me
Reaching as I fall I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now

Love Is War - Bon Jovi
Tell me why, love is war
When the battle is done you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
Where boy meets girl, love is war
