It is no secret that I have a "mild" obsession with the relationship between Sawyer and Kate on Lost. What follows is a musical interpretation of their relationship from Season 1 through what has been shown to date during Season 4.
“It was his name. He was a confidence man. Romanced my momma to get to the money, wiped them out clean, left a mess behind. So I wrote that letter. I wrote it knowing one day I'd find him. But that ain't the sad part. When I was 19, I needed 6 grand to pay these guys off I was in trouble with. So I found a pretty lady with a dumb husband who had some money. And I got them to give it to me. How's that for a tragedy? I became the man I was hunting. Became Sawyer. Don't you feel sorry for me.”
Sugarcult / Pretty Girl (The Way)
Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything. Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about. And that's what you get for falling again; you can never get him out of your head. And that's what you get for falling again; you can never get him out of your head. It's the way that he makes you feel. It's the way that he kisses you. It's the way that he makes you fall in love. She's beautiful as usual, with bruises on her ego and the killer instinct tells her to be aware of evil men.
“I never cared about having carte blanche because I just wanted to spend some time with the only other person on this island that just don't belong.”
“I never killed a man.”
“Well, looks like we got something in common, after all.”
Linkin Park / Easier to Run
Something has been taken from deep inside of me, the secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see. Wounds so deep they never show they never go away, like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played. It's easier to run replacing this pain with something numb… Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past, bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have. Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back and never moving forward so there'd never be a past.
“Good thing you don't hate me, Freckles.”
“Why do you have to do this?”
“You run. I con. Tiger don't change their stripes.”
Lifehouse / Broken
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out… The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head. I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead. I still see your reflection inside of my eyes that are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life… In the pain there is healing. In your name I find meaning, so I'm holdin' on I'm barely holdin' on to you.
“When were you planning on telling me this?”
“Never.”
“Why not?! Why wouldn't you?!”
“Cause I wanted you to believe that we had a damn chance.”
Minnie Driver - Fast As You Can
She was the sun, and you were the moon. And the light of the sun fills up the room. Oh, you loved her anyway, and she tried to love you. When she was asleep, you'd watch her face, taken in sleep to a more peaceful place. You'd stand by the door, cause you were her guard. And you'd love her in silence, and it wasn't that hard… She was hard-edged and broken. She blamed a man, but she told you to be one, as fast as you can.
“What was that for?”
“I don’t know.”
Ben Lee - Hungry
It's strange, it's mad, to want someone so bad. And can't you tell, feel it in every cell. Our eyes, they meet. I won't accept defeat. I feel brand new, can't keep my hands off you. And we get so hungry, we eat each other alive. We get so hungry, only the strong survive. We get so hungry, cannot get you off my mind... It's all so much. Your love, your words, your touch, your glare, your scent, makes me believe again.
“Lemme ask you something, Freckles. When Blockhead was beating on me, and you said ‘I love you,’ that was just to get him to stop, right? …I love you, too.”
Aimee Mann / King of the Jailhouse
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
"Shut up and don't talk."
"You cryin'?"
"I said shut up."
"You got it."
Heart / Crazy On You
My love is the evening breeze touching your skin, the gentle sweet singing of leaves in the wind. The whisper that calls after you in the night, and kisses your ear in the early light. And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine. My love, the pleasure's mine. Let me go crazy on you.
“You ain’t gotta use me, Freckles. All you gotta do is ask.”
Bill Withers / Use Me
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used, you just keep on using me until you use me up. Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do. It ain't too bad the way you're using me, ‘cause I sure am using you to do the things you do.
“Why don't you just tell me what happened?”
“What you do that for?”
“To wake you up. Ever since you got that tape from Locke, it's like you've been sleepwalking. You don't care about our friends, fine, but it's like you don't care about anything anymore. And since when did you start calling me Kate?”
Goo Goo Dolls / Feel the Silence
You lie awake at night, with blue eyes that never cry. All you remember now is what you feel. The truth remains in midnight conversations. I asked for this moment, but you turned away. Sad like a lonely child, broken the day you're born. I held the light to you, but I was so vain. And you remain, a promise unfulfilled. I ask you for more, but you push me away. And if we feel the silence holding this all inside us. Everything means more now than words could explain… I don't know where I'm going, only know where I been. But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind. We've been so lost for so long, I don't know how to get back again.
“What are you doing?”
“Same thing I've always done, Kate. Survivin'.”
Idina Menzel / I Feel Everything
Like a prima ballerina, I tip toe, tip toe around you constantly… When you're furious, when you start to freeze, when you can't be touched, I feel everything. And when you despair, when you cannot breathe, when you wouldn't dare, I feel everything… There's a fine line between love and hurting and knowing when to walk away. When you can't be loved, when you fall apart, when you have no heart, I feel everything.
