What's your character's theme tune?

[Cimri Mayensis]

Just realized I already knew a good song for Cimri


It's My Life by Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
A silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

[Cimri Mayensis]

I found Caiomhe's theme song last night.

"Pinball Wizard" by The Who:

Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
(I don't know)
What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him

Even on my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

And today I figured out Direidi's tune.

"Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin

She's into superstition
black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
that girl's gonna make me fall
She's into new sensation
new kicks in the candlelight
she's got a new addiction
for every day and night

She'll make you take your
clothes off and go dancing in the rain
she'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
like a bullet to your brain

upside inside out
she's livin la Vida loca
she'll push and pull you down
she's livin la Vida loca
her lips are devil red
and her skins the color of mocha
she will wear you out
livin la Vida loca
livin la vida loca
She's livin la vida loca

woke up in New York City
in a funky cheap hotel
she took my heart
And she took my money
she must've slipped me a sleepin pill

she never drinks the water
makes you order French Champagne
once you've had a taste of her
you'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane

upside inside out
she's livin la Vida loca
she'll push and pull you down
she's livin la Vida loca
her lips are devil red
and her skins the color of mocha
she will wear you out
livin la Vida loca
livin la vida loca
She's livin la vida loca

She'll make you take your
clothes off and go dancing in the rain
she'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
like a bullet to your brain

upside inside out
she's livin la Vida loca
she'll push and pull you down
she's livin la Vida loca
her lips are devil red
and her skins the color of mocha
she will wear you out
livin la Vida loca
livin la Vida loca
She's livin la Vida loca

Upside inside out
She's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her Skin's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la vida loca
Livin la vida loca
Livin la vida loca
Livin la vida loca

The lyrics for Slaughter your World, Mav's theme song.

Excitement about, I almost cant wait
Relax, I don’t want your baby, I already ate
Thought I do tend to generally kill,
kill things that don’t fight back

I see this village, what does it hold
What should I butcher with fire or cold
RUNNING FROM ME, SURE you’d think

He’s a pathological, BLOODTHIRSTY, homicidal maniac
I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies.
I maim toddlers and teens and then more

You see a wife, I see a widow
But what then, cant you see, I kill for

I want to incinerate and decapitate
I want to melt, want to melt some faces
Watching the peasant… oh what do they call it… ah GRIEF ((in singular))

I suppose THAT BEING undead, THERE IS not much to life
A soul is needed for loving and feeling
How does this all not make me… ah what’s the word again…. HEAVE

You’ve nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
Your village will burn like the heart of the sun
With infinite glee, it’s going to be me, that slaughters the world

How could I glare, into these eyes and then not stab them
How could I stare at their loss and then not laugh
I cut it THEM IN half, then I CRAFT HIS head back onto his shoulders
Or after I lop it, I make a puppet, on top of a stick

I am a lord that is sometimes bored
Have some urges and need to fulfill them
After my mayhem I simply don’t…. what’s the word… care

The stench in the air, the smell of the gore,
the carnage for greater than any WAR
My legacy, death becomes me, I’ll slaughter the world.

[Jaspenellar]

Don't know if Myllie has one but here's what my conception of her entails:

Through the Glass
by Stone Sour

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
Oh, God 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 the bitter folks
And while your outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what your staring at is me

Cause' I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
All I know is that it feels like forever
And 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
And if that came from the heart
It never did, right from the start
Just listen to the noises(Now I'm more, 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 past
Now all I know is that feels like forever
And 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 past
Now all I know is that it feels like forever
And 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

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
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 past
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
And it's the stars... the stars... that shine for you
And it's the stars... the stars... that lie to you

Oh, when the stars... Oh, when the stars... they lie

[Alter Corin]

Woke up quick at about noon
Just thought that I had to be in Compton soon
I gotta get drunk before the day begins
Before my mother starts bitchin' about my friends
About to go and damn near went blind
Young niggaz on the pad throwin' up gang signs
I went in the house to get the clip
With my Mac10 on the side of my hip
I bailed outside and pointed my weapon
Just as I thought, the fools kept steppin
I jumped in the fo' hit the juice on my ride
I got front and back side to side
Then I let the alpine play
I was pumpin' new shit by NWA
It was "Gangster Gangster" at the top of the list
Then I played my own shit, it went somethin' like this:

Cruisin' down the street in my 6-fo'
Jockin' the bitches, slappin' the hoe's
I went to the park to get the scoop
Knuckle-heads out there cold shootin' some hoop
A car pulls up, who can it be?
The fresh El Camino rollin Kilo G
He rolls down the window and he starts to say
It's all about makin' that G.T.A.

Cuz the boyz in the hood are alwayz hard
You come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit
Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said shit ...

Bored as hell and I wanna get ill
So I go to a place where my homeboyz chill
The fellas out there try to make that dollar
I pulled up in the 6-fo' and hollered
greeted with a 40 and I start drinkin'
And from the 8-ball my breath start stinkin'
I gotta get my girl to rock that body
Before I left I hit the bacardi
Pulled to the house get her out of the pad
And the bitch said something to make me mad
She said somethin' that I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave
She started talkin' shit, would'nt you know?
I reached back like a pimp and slapped the hoe'
And her father stood up and he started to shout
So I threw a right-cross and knocked his old ass out

Cuz the boyz in the hood are alwayz hard
You come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit'
Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said shit ...

Punk ass trippin in the dead of night
homies score and key is gonna fly, punk ass fly

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 1

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right
A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth
'cause real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fights
And niggas always gotta high cap
Showin' all his boys how he shot em
But real gangsta-ass niggas don't flex nuts
'cause real gangsta-ass niggas know they got em
And everythings cool in the mind of a gangsta
'cause gangsta-ass niggas think deep
Up three-sixty-five a year 24/7
'cause real gangsta ass niggas don't sleep

And all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, cocksuckin', pussy-eatin' prankstas
'cause when the fry dies down what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 2

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Feedin' the poor and hepin out wit they bills
Although I was born in jamaica
Now I'm in the us makin' deals
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I mean one that you don't really know
Ridin' around town in a drop-top benz
Hittin' switches in my black six-fo'
Now gangsta-ass niggas come in all shapes and colors
Some got killed in the past
But this gangtsa here is a smart one
Started living for the lord and I'll last

Now all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, pussy-eatin' cocksuckin' prankstas
When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 3

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangta-ass nigga knows the play
Real gangsta-ass niggas get the flyest of the bitches
Ask that gangsta-ass nigga little jake
Now bitches look at gangsta-ass niggas like a stop sign
And play the role of little miss sweet
But catch the bitch all alone get the digit take her out
And then dump-hittin' the ass with the meat
'cause gangsta-ass niggas be the gang playas
And everythings quiet in the clique
A gangsta-ass nigga pulls the trigger
And his partners in the posse ain't tellin' off shit
Real gangsta-ass niggas don't talk much
All ya hear is the black from the gun blast
And real gangsta-ass niggas don't run for shit
'cause real gangsta-ass niggas can't run fast
Now when you in the free world talkin' shit do the shit
Hit the pen and let the mothafuckas shank ya
But niggas like myself kick back and peep game
'cause damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 4

And now, a word from the president!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the white house
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin' down
Like lettin' a big drug shipment through
And send 'em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin' me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I'll send a million troops to die at war
To all you republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
'cause now I got the world swingin' from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Yeah. Alter is straight up gangsta.

[Jaspenellar]

Eureka!

I found one that fits for Lo'en... mostly.

Animal I have Become
by Three Days Grace

I can't escape this hell
So many times i've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

I can't escape myself
So many times i've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell

I especially like the parts about nightmares

[Wolftear]

Obvious......Who let the dogs out of course!

hmm but on a serious note, sorry about the pun, I would have to go with enya, perhaps the one from the lord of the rings, the mysteriousness theme and all that

Red Right Hand - Nick cave and the Bad Seeds

Take a litle walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
a red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand

You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand

[Dark Necrofear]

Bela:

"Bastard Closet" by Snog
http://www.tharshaddin.com/store/bastardcloset.mp3

We will all suffer together my friend.
Yeah, we will all suffer as one.
Riding a boat both leaky and putrid
With the smell of our rotten meat.

Now it's time to leave your bastard closet.
There ain't a no shame in being a bastard.
Now it's time to leave your bastard closet.
There ain't a no shame in being a bastard.

The bright shining path is dull and stupid.
The bad guys have always won.
A flickering dream was snuffed out
Long before you and I was born.

So it's time to leave your bastard closet.
There ain't a no shame in being a bastard.
Now it's time to leave your bastard closet.
There ain't a no shame in being a bastard.

Oh, sweetnees I fear our time is hopeless.
I fear I have forgotten hope.
A hollow dance, a funeral march.
Surely our fate is sealed...

So it's time to leave your bastard closet.
There ain't ano shame in being a bastard.
Now it's time to leave your bastard closet.
There ain't ano shame in being a bastard.

Pacing your cage you glance at the slaves
And know that you, too, are one.

[Dorcas Tansy]

Seeing as the thread is "what's your character's theme tune" and not "what are your character's theme lyrics," a lot of y'all need to start backing up your lyrics with some links to music! Without music, lyrics just read like angsty poetry.

And speaking of angst, I decided The Smiths are the ideal for Dorcas's theme song: pithy, angsty lyrics, with an upbeat tempo to instill irony. I think The Smiths represent adolescence well because they're ironically angsty, and yet underneath the irony is real angst. I'm linking the live version because I adore how juvenile Morrisey's antics are and how campy his stage presence is.

The Smiths - Still Ill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxZo5UODCCg

I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine - it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I don´t know....


Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...


Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I don´t know...


Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if I were you I really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them
But not very often ...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...
Oh, am I still ill ?
Oh ...

[Iarei]

Deilakrion: Pilot Speed's (formerly known as Pilate until some stupid Christian groups got all offended and made them change their name) "Perfect Thrill"

Ignore the actual vid, this is the only song on youtube I can find for "Perfect Thrill":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFox2HpHv18

This morning ends the thrill, for you just made your kill,
You took that dream and slowly slit its throat

The silence burns my ears, my senses are aware,
The morning sun tears through last night's snow

Do you know what I've been feeling,
Did you know my mind was reeling,
Have you ever seen the sun go down on such a perfect thrill,
Such a perfect thrill, for you just made your kill

There's blood upon this ground, there's silence through the town,
Your crime has not yet frozen morning smiles
You know they'll track your feet, you know you've cut them deep,
You'll leave us now and walk those lonely miles

Do you know what I've been feeling,
Did you know my mind was reeling,
Have you ever seen the sun go down on such a perfect thrill,
Such a perfect thrill, for you just made your kill

You turned your back,
Broke from this track,
For empty halls where your fear calls,
Slip through the door,
Out into night,
You steal through town under moonlight...

I've been blind lately, despite these climes I'm wading in,
You've got lies lady, but over time I'll share your sin...

Also, this song: "Tootin' Carmen" by Deviations Project

It's just instrumental, but it reminds me so much of Deilakrion. Again, ignore the music video. Don't even watch it, it sucks hardcore.
