Anakin Skywalker::a Life of Significance
the following is a compilation of songs in three volumes selected by Vader's Angel Anika in an effort to capture the tragic, tormented and ultimately triumphant life of Anakin Skywalker
Volume I
He is the Chosen One (Anakin, Qui-Gon and the Jedi Council)
01// Hand Me Down - The Wallflowers
you've been used by an army of kings, you've been touched by the lips of a queen
Attachment is Forbidden (Anakin and Padme)

I will burn for you, feel pain for you, I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart, I'll tear it apart
Living a Lie (Anakin's Confessions)

Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything...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
I Know I'm Better (Anakin's Insecurities)
04// I Feel So - Boxcar Racer
I wish I made cures for how people are; I wish I had power, I wish I could lead, I wish I could change the world for you and me. 'Cause I feel so mad, I feel so angry, I feel so callused, so lost, confused, again
I Truly Deeply Love You (The Love Pledge)
05// Come What May - Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman
Come what may, I will love you until my dying day
Anakin and the Jedi
06// I'm Still Here - John Rzeznik
I am a question to the world not an answer to be heard...And how can the world want me to change? They're the ones that stay the same

However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Anakin and Obiwan
09// Try - Nelly Furtado
The more I learn, the more I learn, the more I cry, the more I cry, as I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me...then I see you standing there wanting more from me and all I can do is try
Anakin, Palpatine and Mace Windu
10// Let You Down - Three Days Grace
When you finally trust me, finally believe in me, I'll let you down

11// Let Me Fall - Josh Groban
I won't heed your warnings, I won't hear...Let me fall, if I fall, there's no reason to miss this one chance, this perfect moment....Just let me fall
Anakin's Lies of Omission
12// Let Me Go - Three Doors Down
One more kiss could be the best thing or one more lie could be the worst...In my head there's only you now, this world falls on me. In this world there's real and make believe and this seems real to me and you love me but you don't know who I am...I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
Padme's Choice
13// Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson
His magical 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

14// Anywhere - Evanescence
Forget this life, come with me, don't look back, you're safe now
You Turned Her Against Me (Anakin's Mistake)

We Hurt Who We Love

Volume II
Anakin's Fall
01// Fallen - Sarah McLachlan
Nowhere left to turn. I'm lost to those I thought were friends, to everyone I know. Oh they turned their heads embarassed, pretend that they don't see, but it's one missed step you'll slip before you know it...And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Left to Die
02// Pardon Me - Incubus
So pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games. So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
She's Lost the Will to Live (Padme's Death)
03// Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time...I really need you tonight, Forever's gonna start tonight...Once upon a time I was falling in love...Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark...Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
Where's Padme? (Anakin's Nightmare)

06// Famous Monster - Saliva
Look at the ones that you’ve left behind....Look at your mind, look at the strength you never found. You lean on your pride, the only friend that would never let you down. Cause you’re a famous monster, you do whatever they offer
Obiwan's Point of View
07// Scars - Papa Roach
My weakness is I care too much and my scars remind me that the past is real, I tear my heart open just to feel
Obiwan v Vader

Disarm you with a smile and cut you like you want me to. Cut that little child inside of me and such a part of you...the killer in me is the killer in you

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind...Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.
Anakin and Luke
10// Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
And all I can taste is this moment and all I can breathe is your life...And I don’t want the world to see me ’cause I don’t think that they’d understand; when everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

And you can have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt
The Emperor's Design

Anakin
15// I Dare You to Move - Switchfoot
