2 - Dragon

this song was given to me when i was a teen by an online friend, who wanted my opinion on it. he eventually changed the name he went by online and i lost track of him. the song is still quite lovely, though.

Silver is actually decently skilled with flute-like woodwind instruments in continuities they get exposed to such things, and i tend to imagine this song as being a duet with them and a guitarist friend.

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite

Well, I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
But I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all, I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there a holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak
But still, your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me, then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there a holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there, holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite, yeah
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there a holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away, maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone, love me when I'm gone

When your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
And roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this but part of me is gone

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone, whoa
Love me when I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone

Dream Theater - These Walls

This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through

Watch me fading
I'm losing all my instincts
Falling into darkness

Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows I'm holding back
It's not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now

So much uncertainty
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything

Watch me crawl from
The wreckage of my silence
Conversation failing

Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows I'm holding back
It's not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls

Everytime you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time? One more time?

Watch me fading
I'm losing all my instincts
Falling into darkness

Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows I'm holding back
It's not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now

Tear down these walls for me
It's not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me

Gorillaz - Dirty Harry

I need a gun to keep myself from harm
All the poor people are burning in the sun
But they ain′t got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
'Cos all I do is dance
'Cos all I do is dance

I need a gun to keep myself from harm
All the poor people are burning in the sun
But they ain′t got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
'Cos all I do is dance
'Cos all I do is dance

In my backpack I got my act right
In case you act quite difficult
And your resolve weakens
With anger and discontent
Some are seekin' in seach of like Nimoy
I'm a peace-loving decoy
Ready for retaliation
I change the whole location
To a pine box six-under
Impulsive-don′t ask why or wonder
Orders given unto me is:
Strike and I′m thunder
With lightning fast reflexes
On constant alert
From the constant hurt
That seems limitless
With no drop in pressure
Seems like everybody's out to test ya
′til they see your break
You can't conceal the hate that consumes you
I′m the reason why you fill up your Isuzu
Chill with your old lady at the tilt
I got a 90 days extension
And I'm filled with guilt
From things that I′ve seen
Your water's from a bottle
Mine's from a canteen
At night I hear the shots
Ring so I′m a light sleeper
The cost of life, it seems to get cheaper
Out in the desert with my street sweeper
The war is over, so said the speaker
With his flight suit on
Maybe to him I′m just a pawn
So he can advance
Remember when I used to dance
Man, all I want to do is dance...

(Dance)
(Dance)
(Dance)
I need a gun to keep myself from harm

This song hits hard to me, and though it's more about youth being recruited by the military and forced to fight for oil in the middle east, this reminds me strongly of silver who has had many experiences where they are forced to fight and serve a system they're deeply disillusioned with and resent that they're forced to be a part of it. The lines about needing a gun, to keep yourself from harm... and all you want to do is dance. The lamentation of what violence and war steal from your life and the world when all you want is to live peacefully and do things you find fulfilling... hits me right in the chest every time, and Silver is someone who understands this on a level they wish nobody had to.

Being forced by the world they inhabit to learn to fight, to have extensive knowledge of and become incredibly skilled at killing people, when they never wanted this, the guilt of all the lives they've had to take and the grief of the peaceful life they always wanted that was stolen from them since their earliest memories...

Gorillaz - El Mañana

Summer don't know me no more
He got mad, that's all

Summer don't know me
He just left me low in myself
'Cause I took no love
From you then
Just dying, yeah

I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine

Don't stop the buck when it comes
It's the dawn, you'll see

Money won't get there
Ten years passed tonight
You'll flee

If you do that
I'll be someone
To find you

I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine

I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine

Guild Wars 2 (ft. Asja) - Fear Not This Night

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In a solitude of the night

Darkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons

Nightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes close and heartbeats slow

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Distant sounds of melodies
Calling through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life

Pleadings heard in arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up

Nightmares come when shadows roam
Lift your voice, lift your hope

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my hand

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall (Still the stars find their way)

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall (Still the stars find their way)

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

My eyes are
A baptism
Oh, I am fuse
And sing her
Into my thoughts
Oh, phantom elusive thing

Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one, but here is one...
Here is one

Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one, but here is one...

Keep it going in me, wicked traveller
Fading farther from me
With your face in my window glow
Oh, where will you weep for me?
Sweet willow

It's ok to be angry
But not to hurt me
Your happiness
Yes, yes, yes
Darling, darling, darling

All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
But here is one
But here is one...

Madonna - Frozen

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be?
You′re frozen
When your heart's not open

You′re so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmm mmm mmm
If I could melt your heart
Mmm mmm mmm
We′d never be apart
Mmm mmm mmm
Give yourself to me
Mmm mmm mmm
You hold the key

Now there′s no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart′s not open

Mmm mmm mmm
If I could melt your heart
Mmm mmm mmm
We'd never be apart
Mmm mmm mmm
Give yourself to me
Mmm mmm mmm
You hold the key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be?
You′re frozen
When your heart's not open

Mmm mmm mmm
If I could melt your heart

Mmm mmm mmm
Give yourself to me

You hold the key

If I could melt your heart

Mazzy Star - Into Dust

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around, broken in two
Till your eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
Till my hand shook
With the weight of fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you
Breathless and torn
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers
Turning into dust
Turning into dust

i learned about kurt cobain's death decades after the fact, but hearing this song i can't say the circumstances of his death surprise me at all. this song resonates with me as someone who's spent my whole life struggling with suicidial ideation; i feel the same in this song when i hear it, and i feel silver's struggles and pain in it as well.

Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up

I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds

You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout

Hold the secret close
I hear you say

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean

Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
We'll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing color
Spinning yarns

You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you high

You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, la la la la la la la la

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean

Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what
Seems out of place

Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up

It's o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away

Cuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking
But never shout

Project .Hack - Fake Wings (Decision ver.)

Shine, bright morning light
Now in the air the spring is coming
Sweet blowing wind
Singing down the hills and valleys

Keep your eyes on me
Now we're on the edge of hell
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far...

Shine, bright morning light
Now in the air the spring is coming
Sweet blowing wind
Singing down the hills and valleys

Keep your eyes on me
Now we're on the edge of hell
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far...

there are several versions of this song, but i by far prefer this one the most for the haunting, melancholy quality to its melody and how this in turn changes how the lyrics feel and sound, and it's exactly this quality that makes this version of the song resonate with me with regards to silver.

Ra - Do You Call My Name

Some people seem to think
They always know what's best for you
Their little minds try to
Create a world to keep you still

The bolt is thrown, the cage is locked
You saw this, don't you lie
At first you cry and then you hate
Those people stole your will

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
'Cause you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
No nothing

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Do you call my name?
Do you breathe my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymore

So you just sit there stuck
Afraid to risk reality
Afraid to cause yourself more pain
To face insanity

But nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see, your fear's your cage
You beg for help but you're alone
Stuck in a helpless rage

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
'Cause you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario

(It's me)
(I see)
(Please)
(Let me out I'm petrified)

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
'Cause you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
C'mon

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Do you call my name?
Do you breathe my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymore

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Do you call my name?
Do you breathe my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymore

Silver is my kinkiest character and is a masochist (amongst many other things...), though it's not something they'd really talk about outside of with potential sexual partners.

Stone Sour - Through Glass

please support Stone Sour on bandcamp!

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, God, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

"How do you feel?" That is the question...
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
Null and void instead of voices
Before you tell yourself it's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars, the stars
That shine for you
And it's the stars, the stars
That lie to you, yeah-ah
And it's the stars, the stars
That shine for you
And it's the stars, the stars
That lie to you, yeah-ah

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, God, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars, the stars
That shine for you, yeah-ah
And it's the stars, the stars
That lie to you, yeah-ah
And it's the stars, the stars
That shine for you, yeah-ah
And it's the stars, the stars
That lie to you, yeah, yeah

Oh, and the stars
Oh, and the stars, they lie

T.M. Revolution - Heart of Sword

Though I'm alone, I think I can cross over the distant tomorrow, as long as it's still dawn Feelings that would break apart Pass by each other again tonight Only tight rope walking so beyond horrible It results in even the traces of effort disappearing Every day, you do something and lose something Having stood at the ready made it easier Hiding my passionate, heartbroken self, I go on living in this short era Though I'm alone, I think I can cross over the distant tomorrow, as long as it's still dawn These feelings that will rush if they are left alone And that dream will pass by each other again The balance sheet of life is not perfect Is it really all plus, minuses and zeroes? Up until you die you use a certain amount of luck At least let me draw and deposit it at will You don't understand it yet, as long as it's you, it's okay to change your reasoning No matter how many times you make me trip up This love of mine returns It's so unbelievable, this strength I've gained It'll struggle sleeping tonight, too Because this love will keep returning No matter how many times we go through this These feelings won't be erased, even as they collide It would be illogical to condemn them Though I'm alone, I'm crossing the distant tomorrow, while it's still dawn We, who are closer than affinity Pass by each other without paying heed

This song not only has a lot of personal significance to me it resonates pretty strongly in me with regards to Silver, both in the lyrics and that (as this is one of the best songs in the Rurouni Kenshin soundtrack) Kenshin both as a character and the series influenced me heavily in eventually developing Silver as the character they are now.

TOOL - Schism

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication

The light that fueled our fire then
Has burned a hole between us so
We cannot seem to reach an end
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from
The squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second-guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to
Atrophy any sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
And I know the pieces fit

though the exact theme of this song isn't perfectly fitting to Silver's life, i still associate the melancholy sound of Schism, and the general feel of falling out with someone you don't want to lose while trying desperately to fix things, pretty strongly with Silver.

VAST - Touched

Touched
You say that I am too
So much
Of what you say is true

I'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you, like you

The razors and the dying roses
Plead I don't leave you alone
The demi-gods and hungry ghosts
Oh god, god knows I'm not at home

I'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you again

(Find someone quite like you)

I, I looked into your eyes and saw
A world that does not exist
I looked into your eyes and saw
A world I wish was in

I'll never find someone quite as touched as you
I'll never love someone quite the way that I loved you

Woods of Ypres - Allure of the Earth

please support Woods of Ypres on bandcamp!

The sun taunts you
In everything you do
Like a substance that works for everyone else
But has no effect on you

It shines for places
You'll never go
It shines for people
You'll never know

You believe that in your entire life
You will never feel
What it's like

So you turn away
Dream about an escape
A hole in the earth deep and cool
That you could climb down into

I despise the rising
Of the upsetting sun
I'll hide away
Until the day is done

I'll exclude myself
A few months of every year
To avoid the drama
Of the sun, sweat and tears
You could fall away
And no one would know
Release the tension of holding on
Feel the high of letting go

So you turn away
Elude the pressures of the sun
Go find your place in the shade
Far away from everyone

It's so easy to get your fill
When the engine turns and pushes in the dirt
It's so easy to be satisfied
When all you want to do is lay down and die

The allure of the Earth
Those dreams can come true
When you make a deal with the Earth
Who says
"Here's what I can do for you"

The allure of the Earth
When you are through with trying
When you are tired and days are long
Letting go seems so inviting
The allure of the Earth
The desire to give up
It is the encouragementv
When you are discouraged

The allure of the Earth
When the urges aren't worth fighting
The temptations on the great beyond
Become so exciting
