Anyone ever hear "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence and find him/herself really reminded of Beric Dondarrion?
(And sorry for the goofy font on the text. I just copy/pasted from youtube where I was listening to the song.)
How can you see into my eyes
like open doors
Leading you down into my core
where i've become so numb without a soul
my spirits sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home (Like he's dead, calling for Thoros of Myr to breath Life into him.)
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark (The Dark. As in the nemesis of R'hllor, Lord of Light. Or maybe just being dead.)
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run (To ignite my fiery sword!)
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone (Less and less of him comes back each time he's brought back to life)
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life (Waiting for the breath of life from Thoros again.)
(Wake me up)
wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside) (As if to imply his life before dying; tourneys, pride and glory, was a lie.)
bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought,
without a voice,
without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
