1. Counting Crows - Accidentally In Love

From DoS Ending 3
Julius Belmont: Poor Soma. She'll have you wrapped around her finger.
Yoko Belnades: Oh, without a doubt.
Hammer: I'd like to be wrapped around Yoko's finger...
Soma Cruz: Wh-What are you saying? We're not like that!
Yoko, Julius, and Hammer laugh. Mina looks at them, upset
Mina Hakuba: Th-That's right!
Julius Belmont: No need to be bashful, you two.

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

2. Seether feat. Amy Lee - Broken
Soma and Mina both live for each other (though honestly they'll both never admit anytime soon that their willingness to suffer for each other is more than a very close friendship).

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

3. Jon Robert - Hear You Call
Soma only makes it successfully through Aria of Sorrows thanks to the encouragement offered by Mina and the others.

I hear you call
And it echoes
through my room
I hear you call
Like a secret through the wall
Like a whisper too loud

4. Andain - Make Me
Not the same, never the same. Never alone. Kinda mirrors around the "change" talk in AoS in the chaos plot piece.

How does it feel?
What do you know?
Is it the end?
And it won't be what it is.
How does it start?
Isn't it clear?
That I'll never be alright.
How do you know?
What does it mean?
That I'll never be alone,
That I'll never be alone.

5. Burning Hour - Perseverance
For the whole of the Sorrow series Soma suffers and perseveres through the knowledge of him being Dracula. I assume post-series he STILL fights with that knowledge.

I was blind
I was searching for what I couldn't find
Took all the wrong turns
Didn't live my life the way I should have yea
But I know what to do
And I know how it feels
To persevere in life

6. Burning Hour - Story Of My Life
For Mina and Soma, it's all about following through and moving on, not lingering on the past (or at least not much).

Follow through
Even though things fall apart
They knew that you'd make it from the start
Same old story same old song
Walking circles all day long
And the nights go on and on
Can you scream?
This is the story of my life

7. Burning Hour - Wishing Well
Soma always questions if Mina will always be there for him...and Mina always wonders why Soma questions her faith in him.

I wonder
If I was given that chance to ask you what it means
Would you explain to me
So it's clear to see
I'm here for a reason
Searching for the highest of the high
Can you save me, I swear,
For the love of it, the hate of it, the words you say
Only God knows why

8. Dido - White Flag
Again with the self-doubt. :P

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

9. Evermore - Light Surrounding You
And if you never had my heart
I would've never called you back
At the start that night
So I want you to know

That I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
'Cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into

10. George - Breathe In Now

I see love and beauty all around
I also see the sadness that's embedded in your frown
I wonder why you choose not to talk to those who surround
I sense a fear of lifting heavy feet
Higher than you want to, I just want to believe your truth....

You stand there but you do not cast a shadow
You walk away with every word you choose not to say
I suppose that moving on paints a new colour for each day
I don't like to see dreams put on the shelf
To deal with on that one day
I just want to be happy for you

Happily Ever After

11. Lifehouse - Sick Cycle Carousel

If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this
Well here we go now one more time

'Cause I try to climb your steps
I try to chase you down
I try to see how low I can get down to the ground
I try to earn my way
I try to change this mind
You better believe that I am trying to beat this

12. Lillix - It's About Time
I hate you, I love you
I just can't remember to forget you
Who are you, who needs you?
You make me feel alive, I die, so high
I'm crawling on the ground
And I found I can fly

One of these days it all comes together
One of those days that goes on forever
Think it sounds crazy? Maybe, whatever
What's it all about?

It's about life, it's about fun
It's over before it has begun
It's about you, it's about me
It's about everything between and I say
I'm saying goodbye to you, I say hi to you with no clue
It's about time that I
Make up my mind

It's simple, confusing, the truth is I'm winning but I'm losing
And pulling and pushing, won't do me any good
It could, it should
I'm honest to myself that the truth is I lied

13. Mariah Carey - Through The Rain [Radio Edit]
When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you're distraught
And in pain without anyone

When you keep crying out to be saved
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
That you just can't find you way home
You can get there alone
It's okay
Once you say

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

14. Matchbook Romance - Promise

what would you say if I asked you not to go
to forget everyone, forget everything and start over with me
would you take my hand and never let me go
promise me you'll never let me go

and the stars aren't out tonight,
but neither are we to look up at them
why does hello feel like goodbye?
these memories can't replace,
these wishes I wished and these dreams I chased
take this broken heart and make it right

15. Paper Moon - Your Thesaurus Won't Help You Now

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to do
I Struggle over every word,
But I think it's safe to say that I owe this much to you.
I've gotten more than I deserve.
I close my eyes and in my head
I see you walk away.
Panic washes over me.
I know it could be different if I found something to say
But how can I possibly wrestle phrases
From a frozen mind,
Extract the necessary lines to ensure continuance of what I've taken for granted all this time?

16. Pat Benetar - Invincible

This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be Invincible

17. Switchfoot - Daylight To Break

I've seen the darkest things
Crawling inside of me
I've seen the monsters come alive
I've seen the enemy
The nightmare follows me
Searching the darkness for a light

Waiting for daylight to break up this room
Waiting for daylight to break
I've been alone in the dark
I've been dreaming
Now I'm waking up without you
I've been waking up without you for too long

18. Hanson - River

Lately we've been talkin' 'bout who we are
Seems we don't know anymore
And all this time that we've been thinkin'
At night I've been dreamin' about you

And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you 'till the end - forever and a day

19. Coldplay - Clocks

Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and please, singin'

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot, an apple off my head.
And the
Trouble that can't be named
The tiger's waiting to be tamed singin'

You are
You are

20. Savage Garden - Crash and Burn


When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

21. Nickelback - If Everyone Cared

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"

22. Donna Lewis & Richard Marx - At The Beginning With You

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

23. Josh Groban - In Her Eyes

She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side

24. Switchfoot - The Beautiful Letdown

In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in,
Until I found out
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong
But I don't belong

It was a beautiful letdown
When you found me here
Yeah for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free
We're still chasin' our tails and the rising sun
And our dark water planet's
Still spinning in a race
Where no one wins and no one's won

25. Muse - Invincible

Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be all right
Cause there's no one like you
In the universe

Don't be afraid
What your mind conceals
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight we can truly say
Together we're invincible

26. The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

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't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

27. Skillet - Falling Inside The Black

falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back

Dreaming of the way it used to be
Can you hear me
falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Falling inside the black
Falling inside falling inside the black

You were my source of strength
I've traded everything
That I love for this one thing
Stranded in the offering
Don't leave me here like this
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
And now I wish for you my desire

28. The Goo Goo Dolls - Here Is Gone

You and I got somethin'
But it's all and then it's nothin' to me, yeah
And I got my defenses
When it comes through your intentions for me, yeah

And we wake up in the breakdown
With the things we never thought we could be, yeah

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darlin'
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

29. The Goo Goo Dolls - It's Over

And I didn't think about
All the ways I hurt you and myself
And I hide
Wouldn't say a thing to you
I keep it to myself and my mind
I can't stand without you
And I won't find the answers when you're gone

30. The Goo Goo Dolls - Stay With You

These streets
Turn me inside out
Everything shines
But leaves me empty still
And I'll, burn this lonely house down
If you run with me
If you run with me

I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you

Fooled by my own desires
I twist my fate
Just to feel you
But you, turn me toward the light
And you're one with me
Will you run with me?

31. Nightwish - Sleeping Sun [2005 Version]
It wasn't until the sun was sleeping that Soma learned he was Dracula, in the eclipse of 2035 when the steps to the Hakuba Shrine brought he and Mina to Dracula's castle, which slept in the shadow of the eclipse.

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
