naturally these are all songs i like a lot, so they're all going to rank at least 4 stars in my opinion, though Silver won't always feel the same... their tastes are somewhat different than mine :P

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, yeahI 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 endIf 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
KryptoniteYou 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 groundIf 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
KryptoniteIf 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 blindSo 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 beI'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 goneWhen 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 goneSo 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 beI'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 goneMaybe 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 beI'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 goneLove me when I'm gone, whoa
Love me when I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone

Adam Lambert - Ghost Town
Died last night in my dreams
Walking the streets
Of some old ghost town
I tried to believe
In God and James Dean
But Hollywood sold out
Saw all of the saints
Lock up the gates
I could not enter
Walked into the flames
Called out your name
But there was no answerAnd now I know my heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost townDied last night in my dreams
All the machines
Had been disconnected
Time was thrown at the wind
And all of my friends
Had been disaffected
Now, I'm searching for trust
In a city of rust
A city of vampires
Tonight, Elvis is dead
And everyone's spread
And love is a satireAnd now I know my heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town
Ooh, my heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost townThere's no one left in the world
I'm gunslingin'
Don't give a fuck if I go
Down, down, down
I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
Oh, my heart is a ghost townOoh, my heart is a ghost town
Oh, my heart is a ghost town
(Said, my heart)
My heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town

America - Man's Road
Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn
Dust demon, screaming, bring me an eagle to lead me on
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load
Here I am, on Man's Road
Walking Man's RoadI'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found
It will be a long time till I find my abode
Here I am, on Man's Road
Walking man's RoadMoon rising, disguising loney streets in gay displays
The stars fade, the nightshade, closing makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode
Here I am, on Man's Road
Walking man's Road

Avicii - Wake Me Up
Feelin' my way through the darkness
Guided by a beatin' heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well, life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well, that's fine by meSo wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
Didn't know I was lostI tried carryin' the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prizeSo wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
Didn't know. I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
I didn't know I was lostI didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

Bob Seger - Turn the Page
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' there to do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was throughHere I am
On the road again
There I am
On the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the pageWell, you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, "Is it woman, is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered so you don't dare make a standOh, here I am
On the road again
There I am
On the stage, yeah
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the pageOut there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said,Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Ah, here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
On the stage, yeah
Here I go
Playin' star again

Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body
I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me, and
Bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new'Cause in my head, there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place where
They're far more suited than hereBa-da ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-da-baAnd I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remainAnd I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you, then I hope it takes me too
So, Brown Eyes, I'll hold you near
'Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphereWhere soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets bodyAnd I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you, then I hope it takes me too
So, Brown Eyes, I'll hold you near
'Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphereA melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Depeche Mode - Policy of Truth
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put throughIt's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truthThings could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only liedIt's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truthNever again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time beforeNow you're standing there tongue-tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tellYou'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truthNever again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time beforeNever again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before

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 throughWatch me fading
I'm losing all my instincts
Falling into darknessTear 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 nowSo 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 everythingWatch me crawl from
The wreckage of my silence
Conversation failingTear 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 wallsEverytime 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 darknessTear 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 nowTear down these walls for me

Emerald Rose - Castle of Arianrhod
I've been the highest and I've been the lowest
There is nothing that I cannot know
I am all I am nothing, but I'll tell you something
I defend my chair as a throne
And I know the reason that way out of season
Lleu slew the wren with a stone
I tell you these things, but how can I know?
I'm three times in the castle of ArianrhodWe set forth like Arthur to reclaim our daughter
And the cauldron we'd lost in the trade
Atonement for insult resulted in tulmult
The highest of prices we paid
We set for the Ireland - we crossed to the otherland
Our king was a bridge between worlds
I tell you these things, but how can I know?
I'm three times in the castle of ArianrhodGwern in the fire exploded their ire
Bran poisoned - a spear through the thigh
The cauldron was shattered, but nothing else mattered
We claimed it, and fled with our lives
Seven hundred set sail, only seven returned
With the cauldron and the head of our king
I tell you these things, but how can I know?
I'm three times in the castle of ArianrhodThree horns were hailing where Arthur lay waiting
To rise up hearty and hale
When the lance is forsaken, the sleeper awakens
To take a sip from the grail
Seven hundred set sail, but we seven returned
With the cauldron and the words of our king
I tell you these things, but how can I know?
I'm three times in the castle of ArianrhodI've been the highest and I've been the lowest
There is nothing that I cannot know
I am all I am nothing, but I'll tell you something
I defend my chair as a throne
And I know the reason that way out of season
Lleu slew the wren with a stone
I tell you these things, but how can I know?
I'm three times in the castle of Arianrhod

Faun - Federkleid
Über die Heide, im ersten morgendlichen Schein In the early morning light, across the heath
Ziehen die Vögel, wo mögen sie wohl morgen sein Birds took flight, bound for where they might be tomorrow
Ich folge dem Rauschen der Schwingen in das stille Moor And there I pursued the flutter of their wings into the serene moor
Uralte Lieder dringen aus den Nebeln vor Where the tunes of yore emerged from the surrounding mistsKomm und fliege mit uns fort! Come and fly away with us!
Lass den Wind dich tragen Let the wind be your guide
Weit fort von diesem Ort! And carry you far away!
Komm und flieg so hoch du kannst Come and fly as high as you can
Lass uns die Himmel jagen Together, let’s chase the skies
Im Tanz! In a dance!Nebel wie Seide streifen meine Haut so kühl The silk-like mist brushes my skin so cool
Weiter und weiter, wo find ich meiner Sehnsucht Ziel Further and further, where I find the end of my yearning
Ich schließe die Augen und mir sprießt ein Federkleid I close my eyes and feathers begin to sprout
Schon spür ich den Wind und mache meine Flügel weit I already feel the wind as I spread my wings wideKomm und fliege mit uns fort! Come and fly away with us!
Lass den Wind dich tragen Let the wind be your guide
Weit fort von diesem Ort! And carry you far away!
Komm und flieg so hoch du kannst Come and fly as high as you can
Lass uns die Himmel jagen Together, let’s chase the skies
Im Tanz! In a dance!Die Himmel in dir, wie kann ich sie wissen, kann sie sehn How to know and see the heavens within you?
Wir tanzen im Fluge wie Sterne, die ihrer Wege zieh`n We take to the skies and dance like stars, each on their own pathKomm und fliege mit uns fort! Come and fly away with us!
Lass den Wind dich tragen Let the wind be your guide
Weit fort von diesem Ort! And carry you far away!
Komm und flieg so hoch du kannst Come and fly as high as you can
Lass uns die Himmel jagen Together, let’s chase the skies

my thoughts
- rating:
i always found the contrast of the name of the song, Lingering Resentment, with its hopeful and upbeat melody to be interesting and unexpected, though a perfect fit for a character like Silver who struggles with resentment and regret. the feeling of this song is, to me, one of fighting to not let these feelings consume you and your love for other people, and learning to continue your life with warmth towards people while you try to deal with your pain.

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 danceI 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 danceIn 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...

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 wayAwaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In a solitude of the nightDarkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizonsNightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes close and heartbeats slowFear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their wayAnd you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawnDawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise awayDistant sounds of melodies
Calling through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our lifePleadings heard in arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise upNightmares come when shadows roam
Lift your voice, lift your hopeFear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their wayAnd though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my handFear 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 dawnDawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Fading farther from me
With your face in my window glow
Oh, where will you weep for me?
Sweet willowIt's ok to be angry
But not to hurt me
Your happiness
Yes, yes, yes
Darling, darling, darlingAll 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...

Abracadabra, abracadabraPay the toll to the angels
Drawing circles in the clouds
Keep your mind on the distance
When the devil turns aroundHold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of lifeLike a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the nightAbracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na
In her tongue she said, "Death or love tonight"Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on firе
Abracadabra, abracadabraChoose the road on the wеst side
As the dust flies, watch it burn
Don't waste time on a feeling
Use your passion, no returnHold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of lifeLike a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the nightAbracadabra, amor-oo-na-na

Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong
(When this began) I had nothin' to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused) And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me) But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow, and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my ownI wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belongAnd I've got nothin' to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused) Lookin' everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?) What do I have but negativity?
'Cause I can't justify the way everyone is lookin' at me
(Nothing to lose) Nothin' to gain, hollow, and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my ownI wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belongI will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything 'til I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself todayI wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belongI wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm

Linkin Park - Wretches and Kings
There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious
Makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part
And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels
Upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stopTo save face, how low can you go?
Talk a lotta game, but yet you don't know
Static on the way, make us all say, "Woah"
The people up top push the people down low
Get down and obey every word
Steady gettin' mine if you haven't yet heard
Wanna take what I got, don't be absurd
Don't fight the power, nobody gets hurt
If you haven't heard yet, then I'm lettin' you know
There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload
And no one make a move 'less my people say so
Got everything outta control, now everybody go(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)Steel unload, final blow
We, the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings, we come for youSo keep pace, how slow can you go?
Talk a lotta shit, and yet you don't know
Fire on the way, make you all say, "Woah"
The people up top and the people down low
Get down, and I'm runnin' it like that
The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hat
The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact
So get with the combat, I'm lettin' 'em know
There ain't shit you can say to make me back down, no
So push the button, let the whole thing blow
Spinnin' everything outta control, now everybody go(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)Steel unload, final blow
We, the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings, we come for you
Steel unload, fire blow
Filthy animals, beat them low
Skin and bone, black and blue
No more this sun shall beat onto youFrom the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel, put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel, put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel, put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel, put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel, put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel, put 'em up real high
When the operation of the machine becomes so odious
Makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part
And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels
Upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop
And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it
That unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

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 openYou′re so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not openMmm 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 keyNow there′s no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be brokenLove is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart′s not openMmm mmm mmm
If I could melt your heart
Mmm mmm mmm
We'd never be apart
Mmm mmm mmm
Give yourself to me

Mazzy Star - Into Dust
Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around, broken in two
'Til your eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Til my hand shook
With the weight of fearI 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 fateIt was you
Breathless and torn
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers
Turning into dust
Turning into dust

Mystery Skulls - Ghost
'Cause the world might do me in
It's all right cause I'm with friends
Guess I'm giving up again
It doesn't matter
Had me feeling like a ghost
And that's what I hate the most
Guess I'm giving up again
And this time (This time, this time)This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis—
This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis—Try and hear me, then I'm done
'Cause I might just say this once
Seen this play out in my dream
It doesn't matter
Tired of givin' up the ghost
Fuck, it's you I hate the most
Maybe there's no guarantee
It doesn't matterThis time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis—
This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis—
This time I might just disappear

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.

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass
You know you can't keep letting it get you down
And you can't keep dragging that dead weight around
If there ain't all that much to lug around
Better run like hell when you hit the groundWhen the morning comes
When the morning comesYou can't stop these kids from dancing — why would you want to?
'Specially when you are already getting yours
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend
Well don't go blaming the kids againWhen the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comesLet it go, this too shall pass
Let it go, this too shall passYou know you can't keep letting it get you down
No, you can't keep letting it get you down
(Let it go, this too shall pass)
Hey! Is it really all that much to lug around?
Oh, you can't keep letting it get you down
(Let it go, this too shall pass)When the morning comes
(You can't keep letting it get you down)
(You can't keep letting it get you down)
When the morning comes
(You can't keep letting it get you down)
(No, you can't keep letting it get you down)
When the morning comes
(You can't keep letting it get you down)
(You can't keep letting it get you down)
When the morning comes
(You can't keep letting it get you down)

When I'm fallin' down
Will you pick me up again?
When I'm too far gone
Dead in the eyes of my friends
Will you take me out of here?
When I'm starin' down the barrel
When I'm blinded by the lights
When I cannot see your face?
Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out of hereAll I believe
And all I've known
Are being taken from me
Can't get home
Led to a world

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 blindsYou lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shoutHold the secret close
I hear you sayYou know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you outIt spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higherTo follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do meanMove the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of placeOn 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 windYou know the way
It twists and turns
Changing color
Spinning yarnsYou know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you highYou know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it goldYou know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you outOh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, la la la la la la la laYou know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you outIt spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higherTo follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do meanMove the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what
Seems out of placeOh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you upIt's o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists awayCuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking

Poets of the Fall - Temple of Thought
Chills
Chills come racing down my spine
Like a storm on my skin
With shaking hands
I'll guide your sweet soul into mine
Until I feel you within
And I know, I know
That it's all about understanding
Am I hidden inside your beautiful soul
As it's crying for love
To conquer the day slowly dawning
I want you to know you're the heart of my Temple of ThoughtSo when you're restless,
I will calm the ocean for you
In your sorrow, I will dry your tears
When you need me, I will be the love beside you
I'll take away all your fears,
I'll take away all of your fears
So you can let go all your fearsAnd you stay
Stay with me when I break down
Like a dream comes saving
And if words should fail here
I'll just read the way you sound
Till I know the meaning of love
And life
And it could be I'm understating
What it means
That you're standing behind every word you say
To make my day slowly dawning
I want you to know you're the heart of my Temple of ThoughtSo when you're restless,
I will calm the ocean for you
In your sorrow, I will dry your tears
When you need me, I will be the love beside you
I'll take away all your fears,
I'll take away all of your fears
So you can let go all your fearsDreams have nothing on my reality high,
On the scent of your skin
I know we're riding endlessly into the sun,
Feel the life deep withinSo when you're restless,
I will calm the ocean for you
In your sorrow, I will dry your tears
When you need me, I will be the love beside you
I'll take away all your fears, (I'll take away all your fears)
I'll take away all of your fears (I'll take away all of your fears)
I'll take away all your fears, (I'll take away all your fears)
I'll take away all of your fears (I'll take away all of your fears)So you can let go all your fears

this song is definitely in the "top 10 most romantic" songs to me, maybe even top 5, and i also feel it encapsulates how Silver thinks and feels about someone they're truly in love with. completely awestruck, feeling maybe a little undeserving, wanting nothing more than to serve them and give their beloved even the tiniest sliver of the warmth and joy they bring to Silver themself.

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 valleysKeep 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 valleysKeep 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 stillThe 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 willDo as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubtDon't try to escape
'Cause you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
No nothingDo you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymoreDo you call my name?
Do you breathe my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymoreSo you just sit there stuck
Afraid to risk reality
Afraid to cause yourself more pain
To face insanityBut nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see, your fear's your cage
You beg for help but you're alone
Stuck in a helpless rageDo as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubtDon'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 doubtDon't try to escape
'Cause you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
C'monDo you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymoreDo you call my name?
Do you breathe my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymoreDo you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymoreDo you call my name?

Radical Face - Small Hands
(this song suggested as a Silver song to me by my friend Duckie! thank you for thinking of my little creature! )Well, the world might cut you down again
But you know the way back home
And your best might not be good enough
But just know you're not alone
And if you slip and lose your way again
I'll know that you will be all right
You still gotta tryIf you need come build your home in me
And you know I won't complain
And I can't fix what was done to you
But I'll shield you from the rain
And if the walls they build become too high
Then step up on my back and climb
'Cause I never mind
No matter the day or time
I never mindAnd all the anchors that they hid inside your chest
We will unravel all of the chains
And toss the remnants all down the drain
And though my hands are much too small to hold you up
I will be there to pick up the pieces
And keep you housed while you mend them upAnd if you wind up in the dark again
Just turn and call my name
And if the fire in your chest goes out
Well I'll hold you all the same
And if you need to take this out on me
Well you know I won't complain

(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Love is great, love is fine (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Out the box, outta line (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

I like it, like it'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it

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.

STOMACH BOOK - But Not For Me
(this song suggested as a Silver song to me by my friend VaTillly! thank you for thinking of my little creature! )Here I am screaming, you are my witness
Here you are screaming back to me
I am receding from the kinesis
There's songs of love, but not for meLet's all give it up for loneliness!
For all the better friends you wish you had instead
For all I never should have said
For all the stylish trends
The problems you defend
But everything will meet its end
There's nothing more to bleed
I really did believe
We speak the same analogies
But I was stuck between the real world and the dream
On the other side of the screen!They give their praises from a safe distance
Despite this, I begin to think
If I just faded from this existence
Would it even change anything?Let's all give it up for loneliness!
For all the better friends you wish you had instead
For all I never should have said
For all the stylish trends
The problems you defend
But everything will meet its end
There's nothing more to bleed
I really did believe
We speak the same analogies
But I was stuck between the real world and a dream
On the other side of the screenMake me a martyr!
Go on, kill me now!
(Screaming)Let's all give it up for loneliness!
For all the better friends you wish you had instead
For all I never should have said
For all the stylish trends
The problems you defend
But everything will meet its end
There's nothing more to plea
I really did believe
We speak the same analogies
But I was stuck between the real world and the dream
On the other side of the screen!(-Time, let's do it just one more time!)

Stone Sour - Through Glass
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 headHow 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 seenI'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 headAnd 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-ahI'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 headAnd 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, yeahOh, and the stars
Oh, and the stars, they lie

The Longest Johns - Ashes
Watch that old fire as it flickers and dies
That once blessed the household and lit up our lives
It shone for the friends and the clinking of glasses
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashesCapture the wild things and bring them in line
And own what was never your right to confine
The lives and the loves and the songs are what matters
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashesDo you feel heavy? Your eyes drop with grief
Your spirit is wild and your suffering is brief
So never you buckle and bend to the masses
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashesGet round the fire with a glass of strong ale
And tell us a story from beyond the pale
Bury some seeds and expect some strong branches
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashesNow show me a man that can meet all his needs
For what we need most now is unity's seed:
A common old song for all creeds and all classes
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
I'll tend to the flame...What will we do when the world it is ending
And time it is halted for friend and for foe?
Try to hold on to the time as it passes
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

The lyrics are rather melancholy for them, but they'd enjoy the otherwise relaxing sound of this song when they can tune out the lyrics.
my thoughts
- rating:
For almost their entire life Silver has found themself on the receiving end of being vilified, hated, and even hunted, whether for one or more of their multiple axes of marginalization, or their continued efforts to protect other targeted people. even when not explicitly condemned they're quite used to being blamed and punished for things they could not help or even had no hand in. at this point they generally don't resist or even try to set people right, as their frequent experiences with these things have taught them to reluctantly accept resistance being seen as proof of guilt, and people convinced of your guilt will not generally want to change their minds.
even so, even for the painful betrayals of people they cared about and thought valued them, a part of them still grieves for the loss of what they thought they had, people they still can't quite let go of even when these people have made themselves clear as seeing Silver as little more than an obstacle to their own wants. the pain and resentment mingles with the lingering want of acceptance and connection from people who will not give it, into a truly dismal feeling that sometimes consumes Silver's thoughts entirely for a time.

The Offspring - Gone Away
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfairAnd it feels, and it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone awayLeavin' flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
Black roses and Hail Marys
Can't bring back what's taken from meI reach to the sky and call out your name
And if I could trade, I wouldAnd it feels, and it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it stings, yeah, it stings, now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone awayGone away, gone away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh
Yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeahI'll save your soul, woah
Yeah, yeah, oohI reach to the sky and call out your name
Oh, please let me trade, I wouldAnd it feels, and it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone awayGone away, gone away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh
Yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah

Silver would feel bad giving any song a low rating, but they honestly would find the raw pain of this song legitimately triggering in how it reminds them so sharply of their own grief and the loved ones they've lost. They'd leave the room or turn anything they heard playing this off if in a position to do so.

Unfortunately the pain Silver is reminded of hearing this song is exactly why i associate it with them.

The Sisters of Mercy - Nine While Nine
And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time, but it's
Better than living in what will come
And I've still got some of your letters with me
And I thought sometimes, or I read too much
And I think you know
Let's drink to the dead lying under the water
And the cost of the blood on the driven snow
And the lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the windowpane
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting
For the train....She said, "Do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here," she said
"When days had no beginning
While days had no end
When shadows grew no longer
I knew no other friend but you
Were wild
You were wild...."Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the windowpane
And I've lost all sense of the world outside
But I can't forget, so I call your name
And I'm looking for a life for me
And I'm looking for a life for you
And I'm talking to myself again
And it's so damn cold, it's just not true
And I'm walking through the rain
Trying to hold on, waiting for the train
And I'm only looking for what you want
But it's lonely here, and I think you knew
And I'mAnd I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting
For the trainAnd I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting
For the train
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine, and I'm waiting
For the train...

The Sisters of Mercy - Walk Away
And in the summer when the cloud shows through
I might go the same way, too, if
You and I could talk together
Well, what am I supposed to do with
You and I would walk together
Then with always close around and
Now you gaze toward the doorway
When the weather comes falling downAnd when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay?
Would you choose to walk?
Would you choose to stay?
Would you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away?
(Away, away) Away, away, (away) away
Away, away, walk away
Would you choose to walk away?And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay?
Would you choose to walk?
Would you choose to stay?
Would you
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk awayThough when the day is nearly through
I might see the same way, too, if
You would name the things that bring you
Down on me so I could say it's
Not quite true if you don't really
Know or understand the circumstance
Behind then, I might clear your
Mind and you won't have to go, so...And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay?
Would you choose to walk?
Would you choose to stay?
Would you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away?
(Away, away) Away, away, (away) away
Away, away, walk away
Would you choose to walk away?

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 communicationThe light that fueled our fire then
Has burned a hole between us so
We cannot seem to reach an end
Crippling our communicationI 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 communicationThe poetry that comes from
The squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonanceThere 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 communicationCold silence has a tendency to
Atrophy any sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers
Between supposed loversI 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.

Touched
You say that I am too
So much
Of what you say is trueI'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you, like youThe 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 homeI'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 inI'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
The sun taunts you
In everything you do
Like a substance that works for everyone else
But has no effect on youIt shines for places
You'll never go
It shines for people
You'll never knowYou believe that in your entire life
You will never feel
What it's likeSo you turn away
Dream about an escape
A hole in the earth deep and cool
That you could climb down intoI despise the rising
Of the upsetting sun
I'll hide away
Until the day is doneI'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 goSo you turn away
Elude the pressures of the sun
Go find your place in the shade
Far away from everyoneIt'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 dieThe 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 discouragedThe allure of the Earth
When the urges aren't worth fighting
The temptations on the great beyond
Become so exciting
