| Evanescence – Going Under Lyrics | 11 years ago |

This song really reminds me of Skyler White. Any Breaking Bad fans out there? Even after Walt admits to living a double life as a meth cook, she still (although reluctantly) stays with him. I personally believe it was because she still loved him; she still wanted to be that happy family despite everything and still believed that Walt, the Walt she married, was still there. But he ends up dragging her through this hell as he gradually turns more corrupt and greedy and just plain evil. Even once she says something about not being his wife, but his hostage. And over time she feels herself growing more and more distant as he grows more wicked until finally, she can't take anymore. And I think we all know which episode I'm talking about. But nonetheless its a great song :) |

Katniss feels like she is living a double life. As she looks in the mirror, she no longer recognizes the person that is staring back; she's lost her identity. No longer is she the girl in the blue dress who volunteered for Prim at the Reaping. No, she sees the girl on fire. Katniss tries to balance these two parts of her. One is the huntress, who finds refuge in the woods of District 12 alongside her best friend, Gale. The one who does anything she can to keep her family alive. The person she was before the Reaping. She desperately wants to be that person again. She wants to "forget the fires" she has started, more specifically the rebellion and her momentous contribution to it. But she can't. She has too much blood on her hands. She is a winner of the Games, but being a so called 'winner' is costly; the price being the lives of others. She is haunted by that fact. The other part of her is the Girl of Fire; the Mockingjay. The same girl who won the Hunger Games. The same girl who is marrying Peeta Mellark. The same girl who twirls in burning dresses and the same girl who is, in a way, completely different than the other girl. But she's sick of pretending. She's sick of being made into something she's not. She's sick of the cameras, the makeup, the glorification of it all. But at the same time, she knows that there's no going back to the girl she used to be. So she's stuck in the middle. This leads nicely to next book/movie, because it is then that she combines these two different versions of herself to become the Mockingjay. She ends up genuinely loving Peeta and fighting for the cause, yet she still keeps her inner fire. |

It won't be in vain To swallow all your pain And learn to love what burns And gather courage to return Katniss's heart is filled with pain at this point. Almost everything she loves has been soiled by the Capitol, and hundreds, if not thousands of lives have been destroyed. And now, although she doesn't want to be a hero, she has no choice but to be the Mockingjay. She has to swallow her pain now and be strong in order to fight back, and in order to give the people of Panem something to fight for and believe in. Faces in the crowd Faces in the crowd will smile again And the devil may cry The devil may cry at the end of the night The faces in the crowd are the faces of those in the Districts. Right now, times are hard, but one day they will smile again. They believe that the chances of that happening are higher now more than ever, because Katniss gives them hope that a better tomorrow is possible. The devil is President Snow; and when the dust settles and his kingdom falls, he will weep. Of course, we all know what really happens, but I'm speaking from the lyrics. The light will shine through the rain And heaven will hear them call your name And home will feel like home again Corruption will fill your brain Katniss is the light shining through the rain. She is Panem's beacon of hope. Although the poison of the Capitol may try to corrupt her, she will shine through and maybe one day, home will feel like home again. They will parade upon your victory They will parade upon your victory You'll put a smile upon their faces The world will be yours for the taking The story you birth will be ageless Just learn to love pain and be patient Katniss's victory will be an even greater driving force for Panem. She'll forever be a priceless piece of history once they overtake the Capitol and win back their lives. As for now, though, she has to patient because it won't happen overnight. Not only do the lyrics represent the series perfectly, the music itself also summarizes how Katniss's spark caught fire across the Districts. As the song progresses, the music grows stronger and stronger until it sounds like an entire chorus of people singing together. It represents the fire catching and spreading until it is a blazing flame, similar to the spirit and the unity of the people of Panem. It really shows the power that one outspoken voice can have over an entire nation. |
