Firefly/Serenity | Mal/Inara | This Fragile Thing
Just a little mix that dances around the relationship of Mal and Inara.
Next up in Court-A-Doo's mix list: RIVER/JAYNE
[Mal wishes to find "companionship" in Inara.]
01. Be My Escape - Relient K
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for you to do what you can with me
But I can’t ask you to give what you already gave
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I’ve gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I’ve gotta get outta here
And I’m begging you, I’m begging you,
I’m begging you to be my escape.
[Though he talks down to her, he can tell she really is a Lady.]
02. Lady - Styx
Lady, when you’re with me I’m smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I’m sinking
Just touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown
You’re my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You’re my lady
[The softer version of this song explains Mal's real feeling for Inara.]
03. One One (acoustic) - Yellowcard
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and
try to get to you, You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only, my only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
[Mal wants to be Inara's only man; he wants to be the one who saves her.]
04. For You - The Calling
Someone's changed me
Something's saved me
And this is who I am
Although I was blinded
My heart let me find out
That truth makes a better man
I didn't notice
That you were right in front of me
Our masks of silence
We'll put away so we can see
I'm there for you, no matter what
I'm there for you, never giving up
I'm there for you for you
Within the darkness
You are the light that shines a way
In this blind justice
I can be that man who saves the day
[Mal knows that Inara could change him, save him.]
05. Angel - Aerosmith
I'm alone yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love, let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light
Baby, you're my angel, come and save me tonight
You're my angel, come and make it all right
[Inara wishes that her relationship was more than just the things in her dreams.]
06. Dreaming - Aurora
When I just don't wanna lose the moment
Leave the conversation hanging in the air
Oh, tell me do you care
I can walk on water, I just don't look down
I've got no intention of turning around
On another day would it be this way I asked myself
If I was dreaming you'd see me I'd be understood
But I'm just drowning going under wishing you say we could
But if you just walk on by I'm only dreaming
[Mal is a broken flawed man, but Inara still wants to love him.]
07. Beautiful Disaster (live) - Kelly Clarkson
His magic and myth
As strong as with I believe
A tragedy with more damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Oh cause I don’t know
I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
I’m longing for love and the logical
But he’s only happy hysterical
I’m waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long, so long
[Mal tries to fight it but there's just something about Inara...]
08. She's Got A Way - Billy Joel
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know what it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And ev'rywhere she goes a million
Dreams of love surround her ev'rewhere
[Inara misses Mal terribly after she leaves the Serenity, and she can't fight her feelings anymore.]
09. I Need To Be Next To You - Six Pence None The Richer
Been running from these feelings for so long,
Telling my heart I didn't need it,
Pretending I was better off alone.
But I know that is just a lie.
So afraid to take a chance again;
So afraid of what I feel inside.
But I need to be next to you.
I need to share every breath with you.
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
I need to be next to you.
[Mal wants to give into love - and he wants Inara to show him how to really love.]
10. I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
[Both Mal and Inara need to both let go of all fear and reservations before they can love each other.]
11. Let Go - Frou Frou
Drink up baby doll
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps, you bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like
So, let go, let go, jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for? It's all right
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, let go, just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here, It's all right
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
[They both fell hard, now they have no choice but to give in.]
12. When I Go Down - Relient K
I've thrown away the hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away so many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away the secret to find an end to this
And I just pray my problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I heardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you, oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living if only because of you.
