Final Music Poll

[River]

I wanted to get some more discussion in on this before I made a poll but it seems rather clear to me that no one is going to be discussing anything. So, I compiled a list of every song people specifically suggested and now we have to pick:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three Days Grace- Riot

If you feel so empty
So used so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so filthy
So dirty so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

Pillar- Frontline

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will 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
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

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 days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

We've got to lead the way

We've got to lead the way

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Stand aside on the frontline
Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Slipknot- Wait and Bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

GOODBYE!!

I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3-D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can't control my shakes!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

GET OUTTA MY HEAD 'CAUSE I DON'T NEED THIS!
Why didn't I see this?
I'm a victim--Manchurian Candidate
I-HAVE-SINNED-BY-JUST
Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I WAIT AND BLEED!!!

GOODBYE!!!!!!!

You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain is always free

You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain is always free

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

AND IT WAITS FOR YOU!!!!!!!

Nickleback- Flat On The Floor

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl

In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what, I did it, I admit it, and I'm pleading the 5th
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl

In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

8 minutes from losing it a little bit
5 minutes your description might be starting to fit
3 to go and I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl

In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
I can't stand up at all
Can't see nothing at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Three Days Grace- Time of Dying

On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Dead I fall asleep
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive

I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying

On this bed I lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much
Or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive

I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying

I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying

Three Days Grace- Animal I have Become

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!
(This animal, 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!
(This Animal! x7)

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!
This animal I have become!

Disturbed- I'm Alive

Never again will I be dishonored
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration
It's my obligation
To never again, allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
Denying the sin
My art, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Change again, cannot be considered
I rage again, dispelling my anger
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Repairing the rift that you have created
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive

I'm no slave
Are you feeling brave?
Or have you gone out of your mind?
No more games
It won't feel the same
If I hold my anger inside
There's no meaning
My soul is bleeding
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Before you label me blind

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things to take into account:

- Tempo and rhythm. We've sort of universally decided on a relatively quick, up-beat sort of song so we can stick to short choppy animations and lots of still flashes while still keeping in time with the song. However, we don't want anything that's so fast, we don't get a chance to show the thoughts, the sadness and pain that our hellhounds have lived through. All of these songs fall into these parameters but it's still something to keep in mind.

- Lyrics. What kind of message do you feel the song is trying to get across and does that message fit our hounds and the site as a whole? The key word here is as a whole. Even though a lot of characters are still stuck/trapped within the labs, you have to consider that the site as a whole is not about being trapped inside Galt but rather about breaking free and getting revenge.

- Effectiveness. Can you understand what is being said in the song or at least get a good idea of what's being communicated? You have to consider that the viewers will not have lyrics handy when they're viewing the promo so, if you can't understand a song, it might not be best for us.

- Personal tastes. Don't be afraid to turn down a song just because you personally don't like it. But don't let that totally direct your entire decision. We want a song everyone will like, or at least tolerate. So, try to be a little lenient, if you would?

That's it, so get voting!

[Hamerstein]

I vote Riot because I personally love it, and i think it would sound great in the background.

[River]

I would vote Riot as well, but for some reason, it's just not registering my vote. o.O It's so weird...

[Jo]

I voted for it too. X3 Bandwagon!

[Hannibal]

I too voted for Riot specifically because it has more of a group sound to it. Rather than it being one creature talking about their pain Riot talks about a group of the down trodden coming together to get back at those that hurt them. It seemed to fit the best to me. ^^

[Sadae]

I'd vote for Riot because it seems to suit the theme of this boards MAIN plot but it wont let me vote.

[River]

At least it's nice to know I'm not the only one. o.O I have no idea what's going on with the polling system... >.>

[Rabbid]

For some reason it only shows me that 2 people voted for Riot o.O

[Morsus]

Riot, but it's not getting my vote through. >.o

[River]

Yeah, aparently these polls are being weird and not registering a lot of votes. So, I guess I'll just count up people's replies as well as the poll results... If someone out there has a minute, it might be beneficial to take this problem to the proboards administrators. I would but I: a) bug them enough already with art theft complaints, and b) am rather busy at the moment.

[Jo]

Maybe we'd better not. We have stuff here that's against the rules. Swearing and smutty RPs and stuff.

I don't think that'll be a problem, though I see what you mean. However as long as theres a warning on the site it should be fine. But I could be wrong...

By the way I voted for Time of Dying.

[Malice]

Animal I've become. *voted*

[Toxikch]

Er, isnt it od that there are 3 three days grace songs? AND ONLY ONE SliPKnot SONG!!??

[River]

Not really. Only one person suggested one Slipknot song while I personally suggested two Three Days Grace and someone else suggested a third. It depends on what people say when they speak up.
