Songs (in no particular order): [I included some lyrics and, in some cases, some explanation!]

Honey I'm Home - Mini Mansions:

Life no more miss me, death the final high // Life is just one way to die // Honey come home //

Black Hyena- Everything Everything: (in rel. to his profession and bad attitude)

[...] he slips and breaks his brain in two // The master cracks into life // Black hyena gonna bite the idiot // At last // Hello re-animator //

Idioteque- Radiohead:

Ice age coming// Throw it in the fire, throw it in the fire // We're not scaremongering // This is really happening //

Voices Carry- 'Til Tuesday: (in rel. to his married life and attitude to love in general)

He wants me, but only part of the time // He wants me, if he can keep me in line // Hush, hush, keep it down now // Voices carry //

Volatile Times- IAMX:

Every book is read and I'm paralyzed // Every fist is clenched, but I'm so tired // Goodbye my friends //

Rylan- The National: (HC about his childhood upbringing)

Is it easy to keep so quiet? // Everybody loves a quiet child // Underwater you're almost free // If you want to be alone, come with me // Is it easy to live inside yourself? //

Aspiring Fires- Mother Mother:

Try again, try again, it ain't right // You don't got the due diligence to lose your mind //

Look Wot You Dun- Slade: (reg. his aloofness and solitude)

I know just exactly where to be // You know what my freedom means to me // What it means // What it means to me // Just exactly what my freedom means to me //

Black Heart- Calexico:

Hands are scarred, Heart is charred // Burnt through // And ashen //

Quiet Light- The National: (I imagine he thinks about his daughter a lot, so this song is for that)

But, I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light // While I watch the sky go from black to grey // Learning how not to die, inside a little every time // I think about you and wonder if you are awake //

Ghouls- We Are Scientists:

I know the blame this time, is going to fall on me // Cause we all recognise, that I'm the problem here //

North Star- Black English:

I said I just want love, but there's so much in the way // It's not an ocean anymore//

Throw Yourself Into The Water- The Twilight Sad: (this song is pretty perfect for the carnivale events)

It's a long, long time under ice // When you snatched them all // And you trapped them all there //

Wires- The Neighbourhood:

Mr know-it-all had his reign and his fall // [...] Sick of screaming let us in // The wires got the best of him // All that he invested in goes // Straight to hell //

Floating In The Forth- The Twilight Sad (cover ver.): (song about considering suicide as the years continue to go by, no explanation needed i think...)

I was vacuum packed // Shrink-wrapped out of air // And the spine collapsed // And the eyes rolled back // To stare at my starving brain //
