Theme Songs for characters.

[Blade]

I thought up the useage of theme songs for characters, which i used on a friend's forum. I would like to explain some basic rules that were used as well...

First, to make a good theme song, the song has to explain or match some of your character's personality in the lyrics. like a person who likes to run, for instance, would be represented by lyrics with the word run or running etc. Just reply to this thread with the lyrics of your song, the ones that link to your character highlighted in some color. Remember, the best themes for your characters are songs you actually like.

For Blade and Slate, I picked Frontline by Pillar. (lyrics that match Slate are in red, Blade's are in Blue, both are in Green.)
"It's not like I'm walkin' alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another 'cause it ain't over yet
And I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I'll be the ones that are holding the crown in the end
When it's over we can say well done but not yet 'cause it's only begun
So pick up and follow me we're the only ones to fight this thing until we've Won
We drive on and don't look back
Doesn't mean we can't learn from our past and all the things that we mighta Done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Chorus:

Everbody with your fist raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the frontlines
(x2)

And we'll be carrying on until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside you forgot what this is for
We fight to live we live to fight
And tonight you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These day have opened up my eyes and now I see where the threat lies
Chorus:
Everybody with your fist raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the frontlines
(x2)

We live our lives on the frontlines..
We're not afraid of the fast times..
We live our lives on the frontlines..
We're not afraid

AHHHHHHHHH!
We've got to lead the way!
AHHHHHHHHH!
We've got to lead the way!

Chorus:
Everybody with your fist raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the frontlines
(x2)

Everybody with your fist raised high
(stand aside)
We're on the frontlines

Everybody with your fist raised high
Let me hear your battle cry

Everybody with your fist raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the frontlines"

(Some of you may have noticed I used some of these lyrics in my posts, this was not accidental )

Two Worlds by Phil Collins:

(from Tarzan)

Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let faith decide
To guide these lives we see

Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here

With every ending comes a new beginning
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let faith decide
To guide these lives

Tooi Kono Machi De from Cardcaptor Sakura:
(translation)

I’ve had this dream in my hometown
I think of it when I’m discouraged.
Just like what the song told me, what I can do now
is to take just a small step forward.

The Power of One by Dana Summer
(2nd Pokemon Movie)

Life can be a challenge...
Life can seem impossible...
It's never easy, when so much is all for life...

But you can make a difference...
With courage you can set things right...
The gift to dream and make dream real,
Is yours and mine...

Each of us is chosen...
There's a mission just for you...
Just look inside...
You'll be surprised...
What you can do...

Reflection

Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Ev'ry day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?





Ombreon & Kiki

Negai from the Tales of Symphonia OVA:
(translation)

I always longed for someone somewhere in my heart
who'll say that he needs someone like me

if I met a person like that under this vast sky
I felt that I can carry a little bit of pride so

the wind blows and the trees rustle
just that makes my heart feel uneasy
call my name with a tender voice
just that will do

I always searched for you somewhere in my heart
the person who said that I can remain the way I am

the night is ending and today begins
the world that you laugh in
I'll risk everything I can do
and wish to protect it

I learned what's important, I learned how to trust
I learned how to love...

the wind blows and the trees rustle
just that makes my heart feel uneasy
call my name with a tender voice
just that will do

the night is ending and today begins
the world that you laugh in
I'll risk everything I can do
and wish to protect it
even if I have to risk everything
I strongly wish to protect it

Together Forever

You've been such a good friend
I've known you since I don't know when
We've got a lot of friends,
But they come and go
Even though we've never said it,
There's something that the two of us both know

CHORUS
Together, forever no maater how long
From now, until the end of time
We'll be together and you can be sure
That forever and a day
That's how long we'll stay
Together and forever more

Always gone that extra mile
Depended on you all the while
Even in the good and bad times
You will see
From now until our journey's end
You know that you can always count on me

REPEAT CHORUS

No matter where our destiny leads
I'll be there for you, always come through
And that you can believe

My Best Friends

CHORUS: Til' the end I will be with you,
We will go where our dreams come true,
All the times that we have been through,
You will always be my best friends...

Here we are-on a new adventure
Danger lurks-somewhere in the darkness
We are set-for surprises-even battle!
We're a team-no one better mess with us!

If we stand as one,
There's nothing to fear,
We'll beat the darkness,
And we'll stay right here!
Time after time,
That's how it will be,
Just you and me.

REPEAT CHORUS

Good friends-are those who stick together
When there's sun and in the heavy weather..

Smile after smile,
That's how it will be,
Just you and me...

REPEAT CHORUS

Remember when we first met?
We had such fun, oh I never will forget...
Since then, the times are so good-
We've always stuck together like best friends should.

REPEAT CHORUS x3

Each Time

Each time I close my eyes
I get a little sense of love
It flows deep inside
But I want to
Tell those three little words

It's been such a long journey
Feels like we're joined at the heart,
Oh, what I wouldn't give
For you to be in love with me
Would have been nice
In the very first start

When my heart begins to beat
The power takes over me
If you only knew
How much I would do for you
Maybe you would love me, too

The Extra Mile by Laura Pasuini

Countless eyes are watching
in this our finest hour
It's time to realize the dream
And who we really are
I'm gonna freeze this space and time
Rise to make the call
Seize this moment, make it mine
And through it all

Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I've found
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile for you

I know it won't be easy
To make you understand
I wanna take the glory
And put it in your hands

Cause you're the light that makes me shine
You're the hero in my eyes
Win or lose, do or die
I'm aiming high

Learning to Fall by Martina McBride

I was alone in the dark
Never let down my guard
Closed the curtain on my heart
So the world could not see
All the demons in me
Told myself I was free

Then you showed me how wrong I could be

Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble
That once was a wall
Took years to build around me
And you came along
And you tore it down
Like it was nothing at all
Now it's a little scary
Learning to fall

When you looked in my eyes
Past the fear and false pride
You saw goodness inside
I can't believe how I feel
I believe love is real
And I'm ready to heal

You show me how right I can be

Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble
That once was a wall
Took years to build around me
And you came along
And you tore it down
Like it was nothing at all
Now it's a little scary
Learning to fall

I was holding on, now I'm letting go
I was holding on, now I'm letting go
I was holding on, now I'm letting go

Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble
That once was a wall
Took years to build around me
And you came along
And you tore it down
Like it was nothing at all
Now it's a little scary
Learning to fall




Matsu and Inari
Both

Done alot of things that i'm not so proud of. Took alot of turns,turned out wrong. That's a worn out song. Day by
day moment by moment. Takin my chances, trustin my heart. Wasn't to smart.

Lonely, as lost as I couls be.
No way it's up to me.

I will survive
I will endure
When the goins rough
you can't be sure
i'll tough it out
I won't give in
If i'm knocked down I'll get up again
As long as my dreams alive I will survive

Lettin go of my bad habbits. Hangin on the hold for better times. I'll be fine. Learnin to sleep in the bed that I made.
Laying the blanket where it belongs. I've gotta be strong. Tear drops no one sees but me. I won't stop, I'll always believe.

I will survive
I will endure
When the goins rough
You can't be sure
I'll tough it out
I won't give in
If i'm knocked down I'll get up again
As long as my dreams alive
I will survive, yeah!

As long as my dreams alive
I will survive
I will endure
When the goins rough
you can't be sure
I'll tough it out
I won't give in
If i'm knocked down i'll get up again
As long as my dreams alive
I will survive

Written in the Stars
(From Aida)

Is it written in the stars?
Are we paying for some crime?
IS that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time?
For some god's experiment
In which we have no say?

If Only Tears Could Bring You Back

How will I start tomorrow without you here?
Who's heart will guide me while the answers disappear?
Is it to late, are you to far gone to stay?
Best friends forever, should never have to go away!

What will I do? You know I'm only half without you!
How will I make it through?

Chorus:
If only tears could bring you back to me!
If only love could find a way!
What I would do, what I would give if you
Return to me, someday, some how, some way!
If my tears could bring you back to me!

I've cried you a notion if you would sail on home again
Wings of emotion will carry you and all they can!
Just like love guides you and your heart will chart the course
Soon you'll be drifting to the arms of your true north!

Look in my eyes, you'll see a million tears have gone by!
And still they're not dry!

I've held you close inside the words I've only whisper before
For one more chance, for one last dance inside of me!
That I would like and love!

Akatsuki No Kuruma
(translation)

The wind entices me to lay down in the shade
I cry-- when I look at myself, I see someone I don’t know
Playing the guitar for those who’ve passed away,
A star falls for the grief of those will not come

They won’t come, but they call out
Orange flower petals shake quietly
Far-away memories, held in my palm,
Leave a gentle wrinkle in my face
I strike a cord of eternal goodbye

A child’s heart clings to a gentle hand
The burning feeling shaken off as the vessel continues
I play the guitar for the sighs those who’ve passed away
strumming the cords of my heart

Uncoloured by the white of sadness
Orange flower petals shake gently in the shadow of summer
I’ve lost those gentle wrinkles
Dyed red by the far-off sands that I crossed
The rhythm of goodbye

Burned down memories seep into the earth
Where they will sprout out as beautiful things

I wave off the carriage of dawn
Even now, orange flower petals shake gently, somewhere..
One day, I'll see a peaceful dawn
Until I have it once more
An unfading light
Turns the wheels

Tsuzuku Sekai
(translation)

How much time needs to pass, for it to stop?
Freezing, I cant move,
Rain runs down my cheek.

Irreplaceable world,
Fades away as I breathe.

Without even saying Good bye,
Everything of you slips away from my hands,
I grab on tightly, to not let you go,
this pain and the warmth of you.

How loud should I cry until my words reach you,
Feelings accumulate, but it's hopeless.

I wont dare to risk everything,
Should I see you once again.

Without even saying Good bye,
Everything of you slips away from my hands.
I wont let it all go, it recalls,
Your voice, and our days together.

Perhaps you felt the same way that time,
I feel you smiling next to me,
Undoubtfully forever.

Without even saying Good bye,
Everything of you slips away from my hands,
I wont let it all go, it recalls,
Your voice, and our days together.

Without even saying Good bye,
Everything of you slips away from my hands,
I grab on tightly, to not let you go,
this pain and this warmth.







They Don't Understand

They don't understand
How we comminucate
So many things that we do and say

Scarlet

Can you still see your dreams in the distant, starry sky?
Are they more vivid than they were when you were little?

When one forgets to put the emotions that overflow in her heart
to rest, they burn the color of passion.

I used to believe without a doubt that I could reach my dreams, no matter how far off they were.
But that me from long ago now sleeps inside my heart.

Dreams are more fragile and fleeting than a glass rose,
so then why are we destined to dream?

Sometimes two dreams can turn into love,
but there are also times when they can't.

Even when they're alone, people want to share their feelings, but it can be so hard.
Words are powerless to express one's feelings, and sometimes they become a silver knife.

Even when they're alone, people want to share their feelings, but it can be so hard.
Words are powerless to express one's feelings, and sometimes they become a silver knife.

I used to believe without a doubt that I could reach my dreams, no matter how far off they were.
But that me from long ago now sleeps inside my heart.

Boku wa tori ni naru
(translation; from Matsu toward Ayami)

When I just can’t find my way
You were always there for me
When I am out of my way
You were always there for me

When I just can’t find my way
You were always there for me
When I am out of my way
You were always there for me

Like a bird in the sky
You set me free
You give me one heart
Like a star in my night
You’ll always be a part of me

When I just can’t find my way
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there for me

In my darkness dreams
I hear you call me
You give me the reason to live
In my dirty heart
I hear you call me
And you reach out to carry me away

No one can save my soul
Only you

Like a bird in the sky
You set me free
You give me one heart
Like a star in my night
You’ll always be a part of me

The dark moon hints
That ahead of its light
My dream, of an uncertain existence
Will be reborn

I live in haste
So I’m sorry

Like how birds can fly around in the sky
I can be free now

You set me free

I can be free now

Like how birds can fly around in the sky
I can be free now

Like a bird in the sky
You set me free
You give me one heart
Like a star in my night
You’ll always be a part of me

Like a star in my night
You’ll always be a part of me

Kagayaku kimi he
(translation; from Inari to Matsu)

You've always hidden your weak side, pretending to be strong
even on the days most painful, you'd look up and smile

The dreams we saw as children,
that resounded within our hearts,
were waiting just beyond that door

Oh alabaster angels,
dancing as your descend - ride the wings of the coming wind
You shine so much brighter now - so leap,
to the highest places far away

Within this wide world,
if you'll always be by my side
I'll find the strength to go on, even if darkness should consume me

And I believe in the days that we'd argue and laugh,
until we couldn't go on any more

Oh alabaster angels, dancing as you descend - on our journey, on this long and winding road
Hold your hands up to the clear night sky - for I'll always care for you

Oh alabaster angels, dancing as you descend - face the dazzling sun
The courage within your crystal clear eyes'll be a potent, unshakeable Power

Oh alabaster angels, dancing as you descend - Ride the wings of the coming wind
You shine so much brighter now - go forth, to much, much more wonderful times

Kara no Kyoukai
(translation; from him to Ayami)

by meeting you
I saw a dream that won't come true
that's eternity passed by only a second

I’m calling you
wanting to protect you
I embraced you with the fingers I extended still shaking

the things we can do is to only, to continue crying out
that we're alive being unable to do anything until I lose strength, just that so
will it reach you? will I reach?
start running immediately by destroying the temptations of despair
to beyond the spiral(world)

I'm calling with my song that's distant and struggling
if I can turn your cheeks toward the sky
I'm not alone......

even in this mechanic heart, the naked reality(truth)
was stuffed enough to overflow

waving to the yesterday that disappears at the speed of light
to wherever on the bright desert
we kick up time and run, now

by facing the wind and waving a torn flag
on this path without you, for the sake of myself I
move on......
beyond the spiral(world)......

I want to see you
I miss you
I want to see you
I hold you dear

I'm calling the sign that I was here
is surely still in your gaze

I'm calling by going against the closing spiral
us, who are crying and yelling are

living, existing
existing, right here......

Life goes on ~Side K~
(trans; him to Inari)

I wonder if it’s weak to let you know when I’m feeling sad
Would it be alright to reveal when I’m heartbroken?

I’ve just got to believe
Even if I have no place to go anymore as darkness closes in
I won’t hesitate to step forward because you’re here with me now

The tears I’ve cried will surely become shining crystals
I’ll softly hold you, I’ll be with you..
You taught me how to be true to myself
So I’ll always believe as I move forward
Life goes on

I’m trying to figure out what I can actually do for you
Seems there’s so many things I can’t

I am to be with you
I remember your words and nod my head
On a night when the stars are close enough to grab
Let’s make a vow of eternal love

The tears I’ve cried will surely become shining crystals
With a trembling heart, you’re by my side
Even if my voice won’t reach you and I feel like giving up
I’ll never let go of your hand as I move forward..
Life goes on

The wind never stops and pushes us forward
Even as time goes by, you’re my sweetheart
We’ll make the future we dreamed about come true beyond the twinkling stars
That’s why we should be together when it happens
Life goes on





Brother, My Brother

Brother My Brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh can't we just pretend
This war never began?
We can try, brother my brother

We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause such pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way

We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When we loose our heart?

Free Up Your Mind

Let the music free up your mind!
And it will help you to find!
Let the music help you to find!
The beats will give you a sign!
Let the music free up your mind!

Hey you, over there, don't want to hear the reasons cuz I don't care!
See me, belive in you, gotta help yourself to what your gonna do!
There must be something that you're longing to say!
Give into the rythym, let the music free up your mind!

He Drives Me Crazy

He wanders off; he's just lost without me
Doesn't matter what I say
I try to give advice, I tell him twice
He won't listen
Gotta do it his own way

He drives me crazy
All of the time
He drives me crazy
He drives me out of my mind
So why do I worry 'bout him? Why do I care?
I don't know why I let it phase me
But he drives me crazy

Aru ga Mama
(trans)

I lost sight when I was alone in the falling rain
if I'm not noticed, I might still be in the void

let's stretch out this hand, don't look back

I want to be at your side
I want you to let be me at your side
just as it is, If I could live on
I will surely take that hand, and I can fly wherever it is
as long as I'm with you, till faraway land just as it is

each truth are clashing and become chaos
if everyone is shedding the same tears

if I stretch out this hand, we might understand each other

I always want to feel
the warmth which is carved in this hand is yours, something that I found with you
each of unchanged matters started to change differently
just as it is, I will receive all

someday, we won't be seeing each other, even if I let go this hand
I won't forget, because I'm not forgetting I can fly wherever it is

I am thinking of you
always, I am at your side
just as it is, if I can live on
now I want to be at your side
I want you to let be me at your side
just as it is, because I can live on

Kimi=Hana

Don’t let go of this hand, don’t let go
Because I’ll be by your side
No matter when, smile! Smile!
The flower will bloom

The flower you like the most has bloomed
The flower with a small thorn bloomed this morning
I wonder if I should protect that thorn
The lone strong flower resembles you

The gentleness becomes as painful as I know
Because you and the warmth of your falling tears know

I want to see you, I want to see you
If it gets lonely even when the two of us are together
Let’s hold hands until the loneliness disappears
Don’t let go of this hand, don’t let go
Because I will be by your side
No matter when, smile! Smile!
The flower will bloom

If you send a smile to a star somewhere
Just looking up at the sky makes me happy

Even trivial things become precious to me
Because the flower that is you bloomed in my heart

I want to see you, I want to see you
If it gets as lonely even when the two of us are together
Let’s hold hands until the loneliness disappears
Don’t let go of this hand, don’t let go
I will be by your side
No matter when, smile! You can cry, because
I’m with you

If there’s no water, it will wither, so
that thorn can’t protect anything at all
It’s the lone strong flower
The thorn doesn’t hurt, so don’t cry anymore

I won’t let go of this hand, Won’t let go
If it gets as lonely even when the two of us are together
Let’s hold hands until the loneliness disappears
Even if that small thorn hurts my hand







Eliah

Fallen by Sarah McLachlan

Heaven Bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Let it be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could pay

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should've known
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so

We all begin with good intent
When love is raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so

Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem away to be redeemed

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so


Akel'tri

One from Ayashi no Ceres

(translation)

Become a wind, unfathomable distress.
I'll hold back your loneliness.
The two of us are a bracing wind, oneness.
Even if this world comes to an end, I won't leave you.

Deep within my rusted memories,
I feel like you cried out to me,
just as if our very cells yearn for each other.

When two souls that have shed their loneliness
embrace and melt into one,
from out of loneliness, love is born.

Burst into flame, distress that blocks the way.
I want to burn the darkness of the past.
Our hearts are, yes, endless.
A real miracle is right here with us.

If by chance we're ever separated,
I'll probably be a mere shell of who I was,
like a swan whose wings have completely floundered.

It's OK to show you can bare your loneliness,
healing the pain with your lips
until a rose blooms in your heart.

Become a wind, unfathomable distress.
I'll hold back your loneliness.
The two of us are a bracing wind, oneness.
Even if this world comes to an end, I won't leave you.

When souls that were born along with loneliness
are brought together by fate, and melt into one,
eternity begins to flow.

Burst into flame, distress that blocks the way.
I want to burn the darkness of the past.
Our hearts are, yes, endless.
A real miracle is right here with us.

Become a wind, unfathomable distress.
I'll hold back your loneliness.
The two of us are a bracing wind, oneness.
Even if this world comes to an end, I won't leave you.

Ummm, Here is Rebecas' Theme Song:


Rebeca:

Fight the Shadows Amassing(Goes to the tune of 'one little slip')

Fight the shadows amassing
Drive them back to where they were!

So fight the shadows amassing
And bring Light back to the world!

Destroy the evil in this land
And put it back to where they were!

Fight the shadows amassing
Drive them back to where they were!

One must stand to fight the evil
And send them back to where they were!

So fight the Shadows amassing
And bring peace back to the world!

Drive the darkness back
And bring Light back to the world!

So fight the shadows amassing
Drive them back to where they were!

Fight the shadows amassing
AND BRING PEACE BACK TO OUR WORLD!!

Nothin But A Good Time - Poison

Now Listen

Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from the same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Chorus:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

Say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from the same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Chorus

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya

Solo

Chorus (2x's)

Roran -

Freewill - Rush

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance

A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign...'
Blame is better to give than receive

[Chorus:]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill

There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotusland

All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate

[Chorus]

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

[Chorus]

I will has more, later.
