Muse and Madina Lake songs always make me think of DN pairings/characters. I’m not sure why, maybe I just listen to them too much, and obsess over Death Note too much. *shrugs* I've kinda turned this into an essay. Oh well... force of habit, I suppose.
L/MatsudaEndlessly – Muse
“There’s a part of me you’ll never know
The only thing I’ll never show
(L)
Hopelessly, I’ll love you endlessly, hopelessly
I’ll give you everything, but I won’t give you up (Matsu)
I won’t let you down, I won’t leave you falling
If the moment ever comes (L)”
*sniff* My favourite Muse song. It seems so like them; the way L can’t figure out
why he likes Matsuda
Jesus of Suburbia (Dearly Beloved) – Green Day
“Oh therapy, can you please fill the void? (L)
Am I retarded? (Matsu)
Or am I just overjoyed? (Matsu)
Nobody’s perfect, and I stand accused” (L)
I think the ‘Am I retarded? Or I am just overjoyed?’ bit is totally Matsuda. ^___^
Here I Stand – Madina Lake
“My hands shake ‘cause today I know you’re going to break my heart
And my life without you is a life not worth living
I’ll be strong but I wish I was someone else, anyone but me tonight”
SPOILER:
The whole song makes me think of Matsuda at L’s death. /SPOILER
L/MelloTime is Running Out – Muse (a link, ‘cause it’s practically the whole song)
I’m not sure why, but this song says ‘forbidden love’ (ergh… cliched, or what?) so perfectly. Which is why it also works for Ishtaarucest (YuGiOh) and KakaSasu (Naruto). Like I said, I’m not sure why. Anyway... I really like this song. ^__________^
Homesick at Spacecamp – Fall Out Boy
“Is something sensual in such non-conventional ways.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't (say).
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say.
(Tonight I'm writing you) a million miles away.”
And
“And I can't forget your style or your cynicism,
somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said.
My smile's an open wound without you...”
It just seems like what Mello would be thinking when L’s not at the Whammy House. Plus, the ‘non-conventional’ bit shows the shota-ness.
L/NearSing For Absolution– Muse (again…)
“Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can’t renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful
Tiptoe to your room
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
And you never knew”
I think this is what Near would be thinking SPOILER:
after L’s death, the ‘and you never knew’ bit sounds like onesided L/Near-ness. /SPOILER
Mello/MattNow or Never – Madina Lake
“Imagine we were dead, counting all the things we never did
I remember when you told me
I should live like I’m dying
Not to close my eyes while everything burns
What are we waiting for?
These years are dying slowly
Today is still in front of us and we’re breaking out
Today is now or never”
SPOILER:
It makes me think of when they died. So sad. *sniff* I spent half the day almost the whole week totally depressed when that happened./SPOILER
Stars – Madina Lake
“We walk past the dead-end street, atop the hill so we can be alone
Under the moon it’s beautiful
The stars clear the black of night when I’m with you
Nervously, I take your hand and promise you I’ll take you for a ride
Someday we’ll have it all, you and me we’re going to be stars
We’ll run away from everything you hate
Run away, to everything you wanted
Take my hand, let’s get famous”
Not sure why, same reason as Now or Never, I think
Bang the Doldrums – Fall Out Boy
“The tombstones were waiting
They were half-engraved
They knew it was over
Just didn't know the date
And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me
The same way I think of you
This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist
Best friends
Ex-friends till the end
Better off as lovers
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow chequered cars”
Yeah, I think that one’s pretty self-explanatory
Headfirst For Halos – My Chemical Romance
“Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
And we'll fly home
We'll fly home
You and I
We'll fly home”
For some reason this song makes me think of SPOILER:
Matt and Mello’s deaths. To me it seems like the kind of stuff they’d be thinking. ‘I can’t begin to let you know just what I’m feeling’ and ‘…just think happy thoughts. And we’ll fly home.’ /SPOILER
MattSpiel Mit Mir – Rammstein
The title literally means ‘Play With Me’. ^__^;
“Spiel mit mir (play with me)
Ein spiel (one game)”
And more stuff I’m not good enough at German to translate.
Mello/NearIt Ends Tonight – The All-American Rejects
"Now I'm on my own side
It's better than being on your side
It's my fault when you're blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes
All these thoughts locked inside
Now you're the first to know"
SPOILER:
This quote makes me think of Mello sacrificing himself to help Near catch Light. *sniff*/SPOILER
Drag - Placebo
“You're always ahead of the rest,
When I'm always on time,
You got A's on your algebra test,
I failed and they kept me behind,
I just gotta get off my chest,
That I think you're divine,
You're always ahead of the rest,
While I drag behind…”
It’s so like the way Mello’s always second-best to Near, and he feels he can never be better than him.
L/LightIn Another Life - Madina Lake
"I can remember our first kiss, the butterflies, I know you felt them too
I can still taste your lips, that night I wrapped up all my love in you
But deep inside I always knew the sadness around you was deadly
I must hate myself, 'cause I also knew one day you'd destroy me"
Yeah, that one's pretty obvious.
A Little Piece of Heaven - Avenged Sevenfold
“Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
for me to take what's mine, until the end of time?
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design
Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that
something would go wrong,
before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you”
I don’t think this one needs explaining.
LightScream – Avenged Sevenfold
(It hurts to give Light such a good song)
“Caught up in this madness, too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I’ll taste your blood tonight
You know I make you wanna scream”
It sounds so Light-like, the way he changed after getting the Note.
Music or the Misery – Fall Out Boy
(This hurts, too)
“I got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back.
It's true romance is dead, I shot it in the chest then in the head.
And if you wanna go down in history then I'm your prince,
Because they've got me in a bad way I've never seen a heart I couldn't break.
It was never about the songs, it was competition.
Make the biggest scene, make the biggest...”
Oh, and:
“I'm casually obsessed and I've forgiven death,
I am indifferent, yet (I am a total wreck)
I'm every cliche, but I simply do it best.”
I’m not sure why, but the ‘romance is dead’, ‘go down in history’, ‘it was competition’, ‘a total wreck’ and ‘every cliche’ parts make me think of Light.
Thank You For The Venom – My Chemical Romance
“Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and on
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor”
It reminds me of the way Light’s always using women, who’re willing to do anything to win his love. But, Light never cares about any of them.
Mikami/LightHang ‘Em High – My Chemical Romance
“Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades”
This one makes me think of the way Light’s always lying to girls, to get what he wants. But, with Mikami, he doesn’t have to lie to get him to do anything for him. Mikami would die for Light (his ‘God’), but Light’s just using him.
I’m sure there were more, but I can’t remember now. I’ve written
far more than I intended to. Seriously, this is
twelve pages in Word. I only used Word because Gaia was being annoying, but it’s proved I talk to much. When I think someone will actually listen. Oh, and I think I listen to music
way too much. Of course, that’s really impossible. ^_____________^
I've had to edit this; I forgot half of the songs when I wrote it for the first time.
