A lot of these encompass more than just the moment I chose to illustrate them but yk, w/e. Also these are all my own choices – if someone else suggested it to me first or I found it on a Berserk playlist it’s disqualified lol. So there are a lot of great songs I skipped over, but you can find those suggestions in my music tag.

And here’s a zip file of everything in case you don’t feel like clicking on a bunch of youtube links.

Shining Light – Annie Lennox

we made a connection
a full on chemical reaction
brought by dark divine intervention
yeah you are a shining light

All For Myself – Sufjan Stevens

improving all the time i am
improving as i kiss the hem
i promise i won’t be a trouble at all

This Must Be The Place – Talking Heads

and you’re standing here beside me
i love the passing of time
never for money, always for love

Drag – Placebo

i just gotta get off my chest
that i think you’re divine
you’re always ahead of the rest
while i drag behind

Almost Time To Go – Jason Webley

look at all you’ve gathered, all you own
hold it in your hand – does it weigh more than a single feather?
if the things you feel outsmart the things you know
it’s almost time, it’s almost time to go

Saving My Face – KT Tunstall

i would give everything just for a taste
but everything’s here all out of place
losing my memory, saving my face

Day for Night – Matthew Sweet

well i love you
and i want you
but that doesn’t mean i’ll stay

Without You I’m Nothing – Placebo ft David Bowie

i take the plan, spin it sideways
i fall
without you, i’m nothing

Shine – Black Gold

he’s all she needs and ever wanted
she calls out again
won’t you shine tonight
in the face of the light
with you on my mind i can make it through
make it through the night

The Void – Metric

all night
like a child
i stayed up to prove
i could keep up with you

Win – David Bowie

somebody lied
but i say it’s hip to be alive
now your smile is spreading thin
seems you’re trying not to lose
since i’m not supposed to grin
all you’ve got to do is win

The Night – School of Seven Bells

oh our meeting lit a fuse in my heart
devoured me, devoured me

I’m Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn’t Break Your Heart – Eels

you see i never thought enough of myself to realize
that losing me could mean something like the tears in your eyes

My Blood – Ellie Goulding

the color of my blood is all i see on the rocks
as you sail from me
alarms will ring for eternity
the waves will break every chain on me

Hill – Hungry Lucy

this corridor is dark and long
displaying all that i’ve done wrong
i realize the past is gone
now i need to learn to carry on

Because of You – Skunk Anansie

because of you
because of love
i feel nothing

Thrown Away – VAST

i know that i am someone
no one said i was, no one said i was, no one said i was
thrown away, have i been thrown away

Divided – Snot ft Brandon Boyd

the only shell who could
circumvent the tide
sheds of himself that tells us what he knows
and a piece of him will stay when the rest of him goes

Take Me – Sisyphus

and my heart is such a mess
and i feel that i am possessed
i want to be your friend

The Moth – Aimee Mann

once he’s in he can’t go back
he’ll beat his wings til he burns them black
no the moth don’t care when he sees the flame

You’ll Follow Me Down – Skunk Anansie

cause i don’t want you to forgive me
you’ll follow me down, you’ll follow me down

Touch – Daft Punk ft Paul Williams

a tourist in a dream
a visitor it seems
a half forgotten song

I Don’t Have Anything – VAST

i went to places where i could forget your name
i can’t find anything except a void inside

bonus: AU where things went okay

Undisclosed Desires – Muse

i want to reconcile the violence in your heart
i want to recognize your beauty’s not just a mask
i want to exorcise the demons from your past
i want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

I’ll Be Your Mirror – Nico

when you think the night has seen your mind
that inside you’re twisted and unkind
let me stand to show that you are blind
please put down your hands
