for muse_fanmix: evolution of a killer

[heroslayer]

01 | warning - incubus
she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning
don't ever let life pass you by

GABRIEL GRAY: When I was a kid ... I used to wish some stranger would come and tell me my family wasn't really my family. They weren't bad people, they were just ... insignificant. And I wanted to be different. Special. I wanted to change. A new name, a new life. The watchmaker's son ... became a watchmaker. It is so futile.

02 | the easy way - marbleheroes
i will take the easy way
'cause it's better than to wait
and not knowing if it's real
when it's all that i can feel

GABRIEL GRAY: You're broken ... I can fix it.

03 | war in me - kenna
it's bittersweet for me to know
the fever's taking over
the status of my fear soars
i'm waging a war--a war in me
the war in me is wailing
and i--i still believe

ELLE BISHOP: It's okay. Everything's going to be okay.
GABRIEL GRAY: No, it isn't. I did something unforgivable.
ELLE BISHOP: Everybody does bad things. You think I haven't felt exactly how you're feeling right now? Maybe if you talk about it? Sometimes if you talk about it--
GABRIEL GRAY: I can't! ... a man had something that I wanted, but I took it at a terrible price.

04 | me, i'm not - nine inch nails
well it's happening--never planned on this
you've got something i need--kind of dangerous
and i'm losing control--i'm not used to this
what you want from me--i'm not used to this

SYLAR: The hunger, it's--I can't control it. I don't want to. You made me this way.

05 | dizzy - orgy
now you've made a mess of yourself
you've made a mess of everything
you're a mess--a fucking mess

SYLAR: You knew what I was, and you let it continue. In a way, you helped me. And after I've consumed your power, you'll help me even more.

06 | killer - the hoosiers
don't turn out the lights
kiss yourself goodnight 'cause there's a killer
and he's coming after you
kiss yourself goodnight, tonight
'cause there's a killer and he's coming after you

SYLAR: I wasn't begging for my life--I was offering you yours.

07 | battle of one - 30 seconds to mars
try and stop me
try and save me
i want to fall

SYLAR: You don't understand. I think I'm gonna kill a lot more people--a lot more. I understood it before, the killing. I had a reason. To take what others didn't deserve. It was natural selection.
MOHINDER SURESH: What are you talking about?
SYLAR: An apocalypse, a massacre. Half the city gone in an instant. They mean nothing. They're innocent. There's no gain, so why would I do it? What possible reason could I have for killing so many?

08 | handlebars - the flobots
i can guide a missile by satellite
by satellite--by satellite
and i can hit a target through a telescope
through a telescope--through a telescope
and i can end the planet in a holocaust

SYLAR: Boom.

09 | bitmap - sinch
no--please stay
if all this goes as planned i know
i'll stay complete

SYLAR: It's not working. I don't have it. Your power. What's wrong with me?

10 | do the evolution - pearl jam
admire me, admire my home
admire my song, admire my clothes
'cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
those ignorant indians got nothing on me

SYLAR: I know you don't understand me, but I want to tell you why I am helping you. It's that delicious power. You see, when I get my ability back, I'm going to kill you. And your sister. And I'm going take it all. And if I don't get my ability back, it's not a total loss--Maya's learning quickly. She's a shiny new toy, and she's all mine.

11 | pet - a perfect circle
don't fret precious, i'm here
step away from the window
go back to sleep
lay your head down, child
i won't let the bogeyman come

SYLAR: Hello, Mohinder.
MOHINDER SURESH: Sylar?
SYLAR: I convinced the babysitter to take the night off.

12 | don't stop - innerpartysystem
the road i walk is paved in gold
to glorify my platinum soul
i am the closest thing to god
so worship me and never stop

SYLAR: I'm back.

13 | indestructible - disturbed
a terror to behold
annihilation will be unavoidable
every broken enemy will know
that their opponent had to be invincible

SYLAR: I got that from your Claire.
NOAH BENNET: You sonovabitch!

14 | map of the problematique - muse
life will flash before my eyes
so scattered and lost
i want to touch the other side
and no one thinks they are to blame
why can't we see
when we bleed, we bleed the same

CLAIRE BENNET: Tell me you're not working with him after what he did to me.
SYLAR: Claire, you hate me--I understand. When I touched your hand, I could feel the pain that I caused you, and I never meant to--
NOAH BENNET: Shut your mouth! You don't get to talk to her. Ever.

15 | rocket science - the pimps
i must admit it'd take some years
for me to walk without this crutch
so on and such--i'd still be fucked
if i am forced to walk alone
and should i crumble at your feet
i'll hold us both accountable

SYLAR: A chance to reinvent ourselves. Free of powers or parents.
ELLE BISHOP: Scary.
SYLAR: Yeah. And unexpected.
ELLE BISHOP: What? Our powers going away or us?

16 | without you i'm nothing - placebo
you're slipping slowly from my reach
you grow me like an evergreen
you've never see the lonely me at all
without you, i'm nothing

SYLAR: Goodbye, Elle.

17 | persona - blue man group
in the evening, i take it off
but there's another one underneath
and i can't seem to find the bottom of the stack
i might just lose my mind and never get it back

SYLAR: You know, one of my eyes stayed blue for over an hour, yesterday.
EMILE DANKO: The past five years, I've lived eight different lives. I had wives and girlfriends. I spoke six different languages. But at the end of the day, I still know who I am.
SYLAR: What's your point?
EMILE DANKO: Whatever you're going through--this identity crisis--you can survive.

18 | across five years - boy sets fire
so many years of hidden dreams
pushed down too far to ever win
locked doors and hidden ghosts
denied myself with every joke
this is not me--this could never be me

ANGELA PETRELLI: Nathan? Have you heard a word I've said?
SYLAR: It's just this clock. It's running a minute and a half fast.

I have most of those songs already (we gotta stop doing that) but I download just for the ones I don't have. ;D

[heroslayer]

Hee. We're creepy like that. *g*

You might want to wait until tomorrow to grab the zip, though--a friend just told me it wasn't working, so I'm reuploading.

[youngerpetrelli]

Ooooh! I have a few of those already, but I'm snagging the whole thing 'cause it's hot.

Hee! I have 'Me, I'm not' as one for Peter struggling with the hunger (or alternately as a 5yg Sylar/Peter thing because they're going to end up fighting each other (well, mostly fighting) through eternity...)

[heroslayer]

Like I told Baileigh!mun, you might want to wait a few minutes before you snag the zip. I had to reupload, since apparently it didn't work right the first time, and I've still got a minute and a half on it.

But yeah, Me, I'm Not is definitely Sylar's bad sanity day music. *g*

And also, randomly, it was ridiculously hard to pare his playlist down from 178 songs to 18. So much so that I think I may do another mix or two that are more verse specific, at some point.

[youngerpetrelli]

Thanks :) -- getting the reupload now.

Believe me, I know how you feel -- I'm never going to do a Smallville (first few seasons, before it turned into... whatever the heck it is now) fanmix for other people because my playlist itself is over 300 songs... 0.o

Maybe one good thing about being too busy these days -- I don't have a huge Heroes playlist yet *G*

[heroslayer]

Wow. O.o I thought Sylar's was bad, being almost 200--my longest list before his was for the Tenth Doctor, when I wrote him, and it was only about 80--but 300? Jeeze.

*laughs* Yeah, maybe. I have too much free time, so Sylar's is huge and Angela's is getting there.
