Mix - Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Till Human Voices Wake Us, And We Drown
Title: Till Human Voices Wake Us, And We Drown
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Subject: Sayaka and Oktavia
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers, character death.
A mix for Sayaka's character arc as a puella magi, contrasted with Oktavia's arc as a witch. Heavy on the KyoSaya.
For my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hc_bingo card, prompt "drowning". Title from T.S. Eliot; cover from the blu-ray volume 5 booklet; rune font from the wiki.
CLAY AIKEN ♫ INVISIBLE
(Sayaka's feelings for Kyosuke.)
Why can't I breathe you into my life?
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive?
If I was invisible, then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible, I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable, then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible...wait, I already am
♩ ♪ ♬
JONAS BROTHERS ♫ POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS
(And then Kyuubey makes her an offer. Seriously, this is QB's theme song in general.)
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me kinda strange
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light and made a change
And I fortunately know a little secret
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely and depressed!...
Poor unfortunate souls
Go ahead, make your choice
I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp, take a breath
Go ahead and sign the scroll...
♩ ♪ ♬
LOVIN' SPOONFUL ♫ DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC
(Magic! Miracles! Fighting to save others! Kyosuke regaining the ability to play violin! Life is good.)
This may be cheating, as I already used a cover of this song on another mix. But there's no better anthem for Sayaka in knight-of-justice mode.
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
How the music can free her whenever it starts?
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul...
If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning till there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
♩ ♪ ♬
BILLY JOEL ♫ ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
(An ex-do-gooder herself, the cynical Kyoko tries to talk Sayaka into giving it up and only looking out for herself.)
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmm, and a cross of gold
But, Sayaka, they didn't give you quite enough information...
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young
♩ ♪ ♬
HUMAN LEAGUE ♫ DON'T YOU WANT ME
(Sayaka wants Kyosuke to be healed...but she also wants Kyosuke to recognize her and be grateful. When that doesn't happen...)
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
♩ ♪ ♬
PLUMB ♫ BETTER
(As Sayaka's coping strategies crumble around her, she lashes out at Madoka, who worries for her.)
You live inside a dream
Everything tastes so sweet
As long as it agrees with how you feel...
You're so afraid, so you try to break me
I don't want to care, and I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid, you lash out at me
And you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me...
♩ ♪ ♬
THE RASMUS ♫ DANCER IN THE DARK
(The birth of Oktavia.)
The light has been gone far too long from your eyes
But you never changed, never played your part
And you have erased all the fear from your heart
And tried to forget...
The light in your eyes keeps fading out
The night's falling deeper in the heart
Hiding the truth and crashing down
My baby's a dancer in the dark
Your sight is dying, but you keep on trying to save your boy
You keep on lying, but your false illusions will be destroyed
You heard it calling, but you turned your face, never played your part
You heard it singing, but you danced away like a falling star
♩ ♪ ♬
JEAN-JACQUES GOLDMAN ♫ TOURNENT LES VIOLONS
(And this is definitely the theme song for Oktavia's barrier: violins and wheels and a fixation on scraps of memory.)
Translation is mine; suggestions/corrections are welcome.
Le sourire éclatant d'un prince charmant...
En prenant son verre auprès d'elle il se penche
Lui glisse à l'oreille en lui frôlant la hanche
« Tu es bien jolie » dans un divin sourire
Tournent les vies oh tournent les vies oh tournent et s'en vont
Tournent les vies oh tournent les violons...
Passent les années dures et grises à servir
Une vie de peine et si peu de plaisir
Mais ce trouble là brule en ses souvenirs...
Elle y pense encore et encore et toujours
Les violons, le décor, et ses mots de velours
Son parfum, ses dents blanches, les moindres détails...
En prenant son verre auprès d'elle il se penche
Lui glisse à l'oreille en lui frôlant la hanche
Juste quatre mots, le trouble d'une vie
Juste quatre mots qu'aussitôt il oublie
The bright smile of a Prince Charming
Taking her glass to her, he leans in
Whispering in her ear and grazing her hip:
"You are very pretty," with a divine smile
Turn the lives, oh, turn the lives, oh turn and go
Turn the lives, oh, turn the violins...
Passing the years in hard and grey servitude
A life of pain and so little pleasure
But this turmoil is burned into her memories...
She thinks of it over and over and always
The violins, the decor, and his velvet words
His scent, his white teeth, the smallest details...
Taking her glass to her, he leans in
Whispering in her ear and grazing her hip
Just four words, the turmoil of a life
Just four words that he promptly forgets
♩ ♪ ♬
BARENAKED LADIES ♫ EASY
(And in the middle of it all stands Kyoko, knowing what she has to do. Somewhere along the line, Sayaka won her over. Maybe she won't regret this after all.)
What's a boy to do?
When you tell your tale
And it never fails
I just end up feeling bad for you
With your hang-dog eyes
You can bring me down
Now I'm wrapped around your whole hand
Stop looking so surprised
You make it easy...
Easy to be with you, easy to obey
Easy to forgive you at the end of the day
Easy now to judge you, easy to betray
Easy to adore you though you want to run away...
Look what you have done
I can do the same
Two can play this game
You'll no longer be the only one
♩ ♪ ♬
SEAL ♫ DEEP WATER
(Some part of Oktavia recognizes Kyoko's feelings.)
Both of them swam from a northern blue sky
Smile on their faces, they entered their doom like they knew
If their world should end they won't care about that anyway...
Now, that I understand the beauty of what they've left to hand me down
When you need a place to live, and no one understands you
And all you want to do is to cry out loud
But you don't know how
No way, no one, no one understands
The hand that strikes when just a touch of love is all the problem needed
And when you hurt someone so much that still they die loving you
♩ ♪ ♬
U2 ♫ DROWNING MAN
(Kyoko's last stand.)
Take my hand
You know I'll be there if you can
I'll cross the sky for your love...
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go of my love
The storms will pass, it won't be long now
This love will last, this love will last forever
