For me...I know there are lots of songs that for different reasons remind me of the game...but two in particular are two of my favorite songs in general. The first moreso for the feel and sound, and the second for both the lyrics and the feel.
"Guess I'll Forget You" by Black Heart Procession
now you know there's no light on the waves but before i turn there's just one last word then i'll try to forget you now they say there's no light in the caves and we all know there's no way out i'll try and forget you but before i go i must say that in my heart you'll always be found always but i'll try to forget you i guess i'll forget you
----AND ALSO-----
"Elephant Woman" by Blonde Redhead
Angel I can see myself in your eyes Angel won’t you feel for me from your heart Do return my heart to me No don’t insist I’m already hurt
Elephant girl It was an accident unfortunate Angel threw me like a rubber man Aiming for the ground Why amuse yourself in such way No don’t insist I’m already hurt
Lay me down on the ground softly softly Don’t remove my head hurts much too much
You never return it Well I wouldn’t miss it I shed no tears for broken me You never know it my peace of mind Now inside and outside are matching
Why amuse yourself in such a way No don’t insist I’m already hurt If you never return it Will it break your wings Will you shed no tear for broken me

Hmm, I've never been one to listen to lyrics, I usually listen to the tune. Case in point, I had been listening to Androgyny for like 3 months before I paid attention to the song and realized what it was about. That being said, I'm mainly recommending based on the tune and the image it invokes in my mind and not necessarily the lyrics. I think Stand My Ground, Memories, Somewhere, Angels, and Forsaken by Within Temptation, Woke From Dreaming by The Delgados. Where'd You Go by Fort Minor reminds me of what Wendy might feel if she wasn't crazy. Shape of My Heart makes me think of Jen when she would finally leave the orphanage, though I think that might be because this song was at the end of The Professional. Beautiful by Garbage kind of makes me think of everyone thinking Clara is Diana's (unattainable) goal. And then, for a game like this, every other Evanescence song sounds right to me. I can list other songs but they are in other languages. Again, I don't listen to lyrics for the most part, so it's mainly the tune and the image it brings up in my mind. So I can't guarantee the lyrics will match. (The bold songs are the ones I really think fit)

thats oingo boingo for you. they're the only band i've ever heard of that sings things like 'hey, little girl, won't you come this way? won't you let me buy you candy, or perhaps a chocolate shake? or perhaps some nice coooocaaaaaine?' or 'have you seen my garden, it is most peculiar (have you seen my garden)? nothing there that grows looks anything at all like plants - i hear their voices.' and that is why they are my favourite band ever.
this one reminds me of wendy/jennifer, or possibly diana/meg.
'stay' - shakespear's sister
if this world is wearing thin and you're thinking of escape i'll go anywhere with you just wrap me up in chains but if you try to go out alone don't think i'll understand
(stay) stay with me stay with me
in the silence of your room in the darkness of your dreams you must only think of me there can be no inbetween when your pride is on the floor i'll make you beg for more
(stay) stay with me stay with me
you'd better hope and pray that you make it safe back to your own world you'd better hope and pray that you wake one day in your own world 'cause when you sleep at night they don't hear your cries in your own world only time will tell if you can break the spell back in your own world
(stay, stay) stay with me (stay) stay with me (stay) stay, stay with me (stay) stay, stay, stay, stay, stay (stay) stay with me

Okay, I looked this up, because even if the body of the song didn't match RoR (it does), the monologue at the beginning describes RoR too well.
"Understanding (Wash It All Away)" By Evanescence
"You hold the answers deep within your own mind. Consciously, you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain, we reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the imprint is always there."
(Can't wash it all away) (Can't Wish it all away) (Can't hope it all away) (Can't cry it all away)
The pain that grips you The fear that binds you Releases life in me In our mutual Shame we hide our eyes To blind them from the truth That finds a way from who we are Please don't be afraid When the darkness fades away The dawn will break the silence Screaming in our hearts My love for you still grows This I do for you Before I try to fight the truth my final time
"We're supposed to try and be real. And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."
Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you Listening to you breathe The life that flows inside of you Burns inside of me Hold and speak to me Of love without a sound Tell me you will live through this And I will die for you Cast me not away Say you'll be with me For I know I cannot Bear it all alone
"You're not alone, honey." "Never... Never."
Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away It just won't fade away, No
Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away
(Can't fight it all away) (Can't hope it all away) Can't scream it all away Ooh, it all away Ooh, it all away
"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten." "Because I'll die if you do." "Because I'll die if you do." "Because I'll die if you do." "Because I'll die if you do." "Because I'll die if you do."

Any lyrics by Evanescence really do seem to fit this game.
Let me give a couple more...
Snow White Queen
stoplight lock the door don't look back undress in the dark and hide from you all of you
You'll never know the way your words have haunted me I can't believe you'd ask these things of me you don't know me
You belong to me my snow white queen there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over soon I know you'll see you're just like me don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
Wake up in a dream frozen fear all your hands on me I can't scream
I can't escape the twisted way you think of me I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep
You belong to me my snow white queen there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over soon I know you'll see you're just like me don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
I can't save your life though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides
You belong to me my snow white queen there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over soon I know you'll see you're just like me don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
The Only One
you know you're not the only one When they all come crashing down- midflight you know you're not the only one when they're so alone they find a back door out of life you know you're not the only one
We're all grieving lost and bleeding
All our lives we've been waiting for someone to call our leader all your lies I'm not believing heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes- hypnotized you know you're not the only one never understood this life and you're right I don't deserve but you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving lost and bleeding
All our lives we've been waiting for someone to call our leader all your lies I'm not believing heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you don't look down, you'll fall down, you'll become their sacrifice right or wrong can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you if I can't feel, I'm not mine, I'm not real
All our lives we've been waiting for someone to call our leader all your lies I'm not believing heaven shine a light down on me

i think that fits wendy/jennifer to a t, bucketknight. Yeah, like I said earlier, any other Evanescence song would work for RoR. This one just blatantly says RoR, whereas the others would require a couple seconds of thought to come to that conclusion. And since when did you become a god? Considering our talk about MJ and your avatar, the end of the world must be coming soon . . .

all this talk about evanescence reminds me of another fitting song. and that time a police officer told me i looked like amy lee. but thats another story entirely. 'my immortal' - evanescence I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus] I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along [Chorus] bucketknight, i became a god at 500 posts. but don't worry, i'll be sure to spare all the people at this forum. i'll need someone to talk to after i've turned the universe into a vast, desolate wasteland where only ror fans, silent hill fans, and dogs are left to walk the scorched and bloody ruins. ...did i say that out loud?

Okay, for all you who think Diana looks up to Clara as an unattainable female figure, or sees Diana having an inferiority complex about her ability to be an ideal female figure. Plus, this song is pure Diana in attitude (if you could hear it you'd agree). Heck, Shirley Manson is pure Diana (just see her in the "Only Happy When it Rains" or "The World is Not Enough" music videos). She's even Brit, and I'm not sure if she's an orphan but her teen years just ooze Diana (bad adjective but you get the meaning).
Beautiful by Garbage
If i was beautiful like you all the things I would do Those not so blessed would be crying out murder And I'd just laugh And get away with it too Like you do
If i was beautiful like you I would never be at fault I would walk in the rain between the raindrops Bringing traffic to a halt
But that can never be that will never, never be Coz i'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me
If i was beautiful like you I'd be quick to assume They'd do anything to please me At night I see their reaction when you walk into the room
But that can never be that will never, never be Cuz i'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me
Beautiful beautiful like me like me like me
If i was beautiful like you I'd have so many friends Always fighting for my time to be next in line So if i hurt one i wouldnt have to make amends
That can never be that will never never be Coz i'm not beautiful like you i'm not beautiful like you i'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me
beautiful like me beautiful like me I'm beautiful like me I'm beautiful like me
Here's one that sounds like it fits quite well. The lyrics don't quite convey as well
Woke From Dreaming by The Delgados
Woke from dreaming But it took convincing I was shaking screaming I was still alive
And you were picking strangers by the side of roadways Little little let the danger unfold
You can do what you do If you think you’ll take it You can do what you do If you are that way inclined
Suffer with silk As the pressure’s tighter You have skin pale as milk With the pressure on
My heart is getting heavy and my hands are weak now Hatred lifting and I’ll start to weep now
You can do what you do If you think you’ll take it You can do what you do If you are that way inclined
Just for a moment Can we take a little time Just stop for a moment Can we make this moment mine
I’ve tried to let go but I’ve never had much to say Take a day take them all now
Just for a moment Can we take a little time Just stop for a moment Can we look inside this mind
We try to control but we never quite know what’s there We will kill if we need to...
Just for a moment Can we take a little time Just stop for a moment Can we make this moment mine
I’ve tried to let go but I’ve never had much to say...
Here's Wendy waiting for Jen.
Where'd You Go by Fort Minor
Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
She said somedays I feel like *CENSORED* Somedays I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit I don't understand why you have to always be gone I get along but your trips always feel so long And I find myself trying to stay by the phone 'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone But I feel like an idiot, working my day around a call And when I pick up I don't have much to say, so
I want you to know its a little *CENSORED*ed up that I'm stuck here waiting, at times debatin Telling you that I've had it with you and your career Me and the rest of the family here singing
Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone Please Come back home
You know, the place where you used to live Used to barbeque with burgers and ribs Used to have a little party every halloween with candy by the pile but now you only stop by every once in a while *CENSORED* I find myself just filling my time With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind I'm doing fine and I'm plannin' to keep it that way You can call me if you find that you have something to say And I'll tell you
I want you to know its a little *CENSORED*ed up that I'm stuck here waiting, at times debating Telling you that I've had it with you and your career Me and the rest of the family here singing
Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone Please Come back home
I want you to know its a little *CENSORED*ed up that I'm stuck here waiting, no longer debatin' Tired of sittin and hatin' and making these excuses For why you're not around, and feeling sorta useless It seems that one thing has been true all along You don't really know what you've got till its gone I guess I've had it with you and your career When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it
Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone Where'd you go? I miss you so Seems like its been forever that you've been gone Please Come back home
Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home
And one more cuz I'm too lazy to look for more right now. This one is pretty self explanatory.
Memories by Within Temptation
Memories, memories, memories
In this world you tried Not leaving me alone behind There's no other way I'll pray to the gods let him stay The memories ease the pain inside, Now I know why
All of my memories keep you near. In silent moments, Imagine you'd be here. All of my memories keep you near, Your silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try To find my way back in this life. I hope there is a way To give me a sign you're okay. Reminds me again it's worth it all So I can go home.
All of my memories keep you near. In silent moments, Imagine you'd be here. All of my memories keep you near, Your silent whispers, silent tears.
Together in all these memories I see your smile. All the memories I hold dear. Darling, you know I'll love you till the end of time.
All of my memories keep you near. In silent moments, Imagine you'd be here. All of my memories keep you near, Your silent whispers, silent tears.
All of my memories...

i'm going to have to download all of those except for memories, bucketknight. thanks in advance in the event i end up arrested.
the whole 'once upon a time' chapter reminds me of this one, especially the voices in the orphanage and wendy at the gates...
'underground' - medication
and she was gone too young she is underground does she feel no pain
now does she see me clear can she hear the sound we have called her name
she said i cannot find born to lose live to die go far away to a place you've been before
if it hurts to stay, then go if you're gone, then don't go far 'cause no matter where you land its exactly where you are
i watch the world turn leave the tv on then she disappears now does she know my name? is she really gone? you know i'm still right here
she said i cannot find born to lose live to die go far away to a place you've been before
if it hurts to stay, then go if you're gone, then don't go far 'cause no matter where you land its exactly where you are (repeat 3x)
don't bring me down stay, don't go if it hurts to stay then go don't bring me down please don't go if it hurts to stay then go don't bring me down stay, don't go if it hurts to stay then go don't bring me down please don't go

Okay, anti-school time! First, spookythings, why not Memories? Or do you already have it?
Okay, here's one that embodies Jen when she just sits there and lets the RCA poor water over her while she looks at the coffin, as well as whenever Jen doesn't struggle when the RCA abuses her.
Hurt by Johnny Cash
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear you are someone else I am still right here
what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt
if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
Here's one for when Jen realizes how cruel Wendy is, then jumps her and slaps her silly and starts venting at the RCA
Stand My Ground by Within Temptation
I can see when you stay low nothing happens does it feel right ?
Late at night things I thought I put behind me haunt my mind
I just know there's no escape now once it sets its eyes on you but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, I won't give in no more denying, I got to face it won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside if I don't make it, someone else will stand my ground
It's all around getting stronger, coming closer into my world
I can feel that it's time for me to face it can I take it?
Though this might just be the ending of the life I held so dear but I won't run, there's no turning back from here
Stand my ground (repeat chorus)
All I know for sure is I'm trying I will always stand my ground
Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in) I won't give up (I won't give up) no more denying, I got to face it won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside if I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground, I won't give in no more denying, I got to face it won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside if I don't make it, someone else will stand my ground
Another Within Temptation song. This one is the perfect one to describe how Jen first saw Wendy, and how Jen realizes how twisted Wendy is.
Angels by Within Temptation
Sparkling angel I believe You were my savior in my time of need. Blinded by faith I couldn't hear All the whispers, the warnings so clear. I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door. There's no escape now, No mercy no more. No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart. You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn into real. You broke a promise and made me realize. It was all just a lie.
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see Your dark intentions, your feelings for me. Fallen angel, tell me why? What is the reason, the thorn in your eye? I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door There's no escape now No mercy no more No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they turn into real. You broke a promise and made me realize. It was all just a lie. Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end.
This world may have failed you, It doesn't give you a reason why. You could have chosen a different path in life.
The smile when you tore me apart. You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they turn into real. You broke the promise and made me realize. It was all just a lie. Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end.
This song I think of whenever I see Jen on the ground looking up in dismay
Miracle by Vertical Horizon
It's taken much too long To get it right Would it be so wrong To maybe find someone A miracle
And all you really need Is everything you could never be And so you'd give it all For a miracle
[Chorus] Is there a trace Inside her face Of a lonely miracle And so you wait And lie awake For a lonely miracle
You never really know What it is Not until it goes And if it comes again It's a miracle
But what you miss is love In everything below and up above And could she bring it all A miracle
[Chorus]
All you wanted was a (miracle) All you needed was a miracle A miracle And all you wanted was a (miracle) All you needed was a miracle A miracle
It's taken so long to get it right Could it be so wrong To maybe find someone A miracle
[Chorus]
This one is pretty self explanatory.
Lies by Evanescence
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear Sealed with lies through so many tears Lost from within, pursuing the end I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough You were never conceived in love You will not rise above
[Chorus:] They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light Birthing a dawn to this endless night Arms outstretched, awaiting me An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you
[Chorus] [Chorus]
Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you
[Chorus]
Here's one where the lyrics work, but the music is a little too rock for RoR
Crawling in the Dark by Hoobastank
I will dedicate And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth Of how my story's ending And I wish I could know if the directions that I take And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Help me carry on Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes To navigate the darkness Will the ending be ever coming suddenly? Will I ever get to see the ending to my story? Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer So when and how will I know? How much further do I have to go? How much longer until I finally know? Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me In front of me Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Here's one that would fit Wendy's obsession with Jen if Wendy and Jen were boys.
Daphne Descends by Smashing Pumpkins
With the sugar sickness You spy the kidnap kid Who kids you to oblivion Its the perfect hassle For the perfumed kiss He makes you miss him more than home
You love him You love him more than this You love him and you cannot, you cant resist You love him You love him for yourself You love him and no one, no one else
Past sidewalk ashes A last lovers arc You come apart to intertwine It was all so simple As you watched him move Across the darkness in your room
You love him You love him for youself You love him and no one, no one else
And the winding vines The pretty boys dive And thru the pinhole stars Into the shadow mind You will lose him then On some gentle dawn This boy is here and gone
You love him You love him for yourself You love him and no one, no one else You love him You love him more than this You love him and you cannot, you cant resist
Here's a pretty song. I can't describe why it's RoR-ish. I just can see it.
Desert Rose by Sting with Cheb Mami
I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die And near the flames The shadows play in the shape of the mans desire
This desert rose Whose shadow bears the secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
And now she turns This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams This fire burns I realize that nothings as it seems
I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love
I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose Whose shadow bears the secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
Sweet desert rose This memory of hidden hearts and souls This desert flower This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love
Okay, that's all till the next anti-school break. I think I can think of some Natalie Imbruglia, Garbage, Delgados, and Boa songs that would fit. And of course just about every song by Evanescence and Within Temptation.

bucketknight, i already have stand my ground, angels, memories, somewhere, and dark wings by within temptation. and i was trying to write a song fic to 'hurt.' i'm glad i'm not the only johnny cash fan here who thought that song was very rule of rose-esque. you have such fantastic taste in music, i'm finding all kinds of new bands and songs.
jennifer/wendy:
'Shatter (All My Dead Friends)' - London After Midnight
You're telling me that I'm the most important thing to you, but can't you see? you're killing me with all the things you do, and I really want to believe it's impossible I really want to believe it's all a dream, but I just can't seem to wake up, I just can't seem to turn on the light, one step off the edge and the world will seem all right
You did it again, yes you in the mirror, you put your faith in a cruel world, All my dead friends come to haunt, harm and hinder, never letting go, here to drag me down to Hell, just say goodbye...
Just answer me, what was the point of all that treachery, and soon we'll see the truth behind all of your blasphemy,
No never again I'll never trust no one again, I'd sooner slit my wrists and risk discovery of Hell, than stay another moment here where certain Devils dwell...
