REFLECTIVE LYRICS

Duo's soundtrack! A compilation of songs I feel relate to Duo in some way, either about him or from his point of view in Alphabetical order. Be warned, the webmistress has diverse taste in music and has provided commentary.



1)AC/DC - Back In Black "Back in black, I hit the sack I've been too long, I'm glad to be back." Reminiscent of the God of Death is back from hell after losing his Gundam? You decide.



2)Alanis Morissette - Can't Not "I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed." He runs, he hides, but he never lies. And his past has left him pretty burned.



3)Alanis Morissette - Forgiven "We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did." Duo's time spent at the Maxwell Church, perhaps?



4)Alice Cooper - I Never Cry "And the night may pass me by But I'll never cry." To Duo, crying is a weakness-something he learned from Solo?



5)Alice in Chains - Man in the Box "I’m the dog who gets beat." Duo definately gets kicked when he is down, and incidentally, quite frequently.



6)Bad Company - Bad Company "Rebel souls Deserters we are called Chose a gun and threw away the sun." Such is the way when you become a soldier.



7)Ben Folds Five - Best Imitation of Myself "Wondering, who I am when I ought to know Straighten up now time to go Fool somebody else, fool somebody else." This is the definition of hitting the nail on the head.



8)Ben Folds Five - Bobby Vinton - Mr. Lonely "Now I’m a soldier, a lonely soldier Away from home through no wish of my own." But does Duo really have a home?



9)Creed - My Own Prison "No time for mourning Ain't got no time." And anyway, some wounds from the past never seem to heal.



10)Dio - Holy Diver "You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid." No need to hide, even if he is so good at it.



11)Eric Carmen - All By Myself "Don’t wanna be, all by myself anymore." One of Duo's best kept secrets.



12)Gin Blossoms - Competition Smile "Now I’ve thrown something far And it haunts me like a curse." The shadow of the past-Maxwell's demon, in the back of his mind.



13)Green day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams "I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known." The path chosen by the way of the Gundam pilot.



14)Goo Goo Dolls - Long Way Down "I don't want to live in here alone." One of Duo's greatest fears, yet still he pushes others away.



15)Jars of Clay - Worlds Apart "Did you really have to die for me? All I am for all you are Because what I need And what I believe Are worlds apart." Regrets-an ode to Father Maxwell and Sister Helen.



16)Judas Priest - Breakin' the Law "you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too." The battle cry to fight OZ if ever there was one.



17)Kansas - Carry on my Wayward Son "My charade is the event of the season." Cleverly concealed, too clever for Duo's own good.



18)Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong "I wanna let go of the pain I felt so." They say time heals all wounds.



19)Loreena Mckennitt - Skellig "The daylight has almost gone The birds have sung their last The bells call all to mass." This song evokes the essence surrounding Duo's time spent at the Maxwell church-the imagery, it is surreal.



20)Love Spit Love - How Soon is Now? "I am human and I need to be loved." Despite the fear of reaching for it.



21)Metallica - One "Tied to machines that make me be cut this life off from me." A soldier's existence is never easy.



22)Metallica - Unforgiven "the young man struggles on and on he's known." Hoping that somewhere, he will pull through and it will be okay.



23)Metallica - Unforgiven II "Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run." Love, acceptance, understanding-coveted things, shunned and feared.



24)Moody Blues - Painted Smile "And no one's believing I'm the same when I'm bleeding And I hurt all the time deep inside." Because with Duo, what you see isn't always what you get.



25)Nine Inch Nails - Hurt "Everyone I know goes away in the end." This is a melancholy ballad which echoes Duo's past-he seems to have lost everyone he has come to love.



26)Ours - Sometimes "Sometimes sun shines." There is Duo, turning a hopeful eye to the future for all that tomorrow might bring.



27)Ozzy Osbourne - Facing Hell "Oh the children sit and listen The belief was in their eyes In a land without tomorrows Through the night you hear their cries." The anguish that comes from being an orphan living off your wits and the streets-and many do not know that Duo faces his own private hell.



28)Pearl Jam - Nothingman "walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking..." Feeling and believing, that he is truly on his own.



29)R.E.M - Losing My Religion "And I don't know if I can do it-Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough." Duo would rather fool and charm an audience, than reveal his feelings and insecurities.



30)Rolling Stones - Paint it Black "Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts." Face his past-face his guilt.



31)Santa Esmeralda - Misunderstood "Sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done." His intentions were good-but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.



32)Santa Esmeralda - Misunderstood "Sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done." His intentions were good-but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.



33)Sarah Mclachlan - I Will Remember You "Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had?" This is the song for Solo, solely and purely.



34)Shinedown - 45 "What ever happened to the young man's heart Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart." But he will never let on.



35)Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm "Used to be a little boy So old in my shoes And what I choose is my voice What's a boy supposed to do?" One of the songs I feel reflects Duo the most-his past, his disposition-decisions.



36)Staind - Outside "And I feel All this pain Stuffed it down It's back again." Ignored and never mended-don't focus on the painful memories of the past.



37)Sting - If I Ever Lose My Faith in You "I never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse." Being an orphan and a soldier both would cause Duo to have this belief, I think.



38)Styx - Renegade "This jig is up the news is out They've finally found me." This song will always remind me of Duo being apprehended and held at the Lunar Base, awaiting execution in his cell.



39)The Cure - Boys Don't Cry "I try and laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes Because boys don't cry." Duo said as much himself.



40)The Platters - The Great Pretender "My need is such I pretend too much I’m lonely but no one can tell." This song was always my spoof on Toonami's "The Great Destroyer" in place of the God of Death. And hey-the song applies too.



41)The Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows "I carry a smile when I'm broken in two." Could that not explain it any further?



42)The Who - Behind Blue Eyes "No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes." Duo's anthem-enough said.



43)Tim Buckley - Once I Was "And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me?" Or will you only remember the soldier?



44)Tom Petty - Won't Back Down "You could stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down." For a man that has surely seen his share of hell, believe it. Duo is determined and strong.



45)Tom Petty - Learning to Fly "Well some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown." It will-and he is just trying to make it through.



46)Tom Petty - Refugee "Everybody's had to fight to be free." But Duo took it upon himself to fight for others, but also for himself.



47)Tourniquet - White Knucklin' the Rosary "I get along fine most of the time No thought for thanks or blessings sublime." He hasn't seen a lot of miracles-but he's seen a lot of dead people.



48)Travis - Why Does it Always Rain on Me? "Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so?" When you think about it, Duo really does have the worst luck.



49)Whitesnake - Here I Go Again On My Own "Like a drifter I was born to walk alone." A choice or not?
