shinyglorchan | Robins Playlist

Took me long enough, sheesh. If I waited any longer, there'd be another Robin, and well, he's getting no songs outta me! >>;; 30 songs for our lovely Robins as well as a pretty cover. This is a quick post, so if enough people want it, I'll post the songs too. Enjoy!

Dick

Circus (Britney Spears): Dick has the circus in his blood, so everything he does is a performance. He's also a leader. The Titans are his team, and they just have to keep up with him.

There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
......
There's only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware
I'm like a ring leader, I call the shots.
I'm like a fire cracker,
I make it hot when I put on a show.

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins (hah, hah, hah)
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break (hah, hah, hah)
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage (hah, hah, hah)
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same (hah, hah, hah)

All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do

Kristy, Are You Doing Okay? (The Offspring): Dick knew after the Joker shot and paralyzed Babs, that his relationship with her would never be the same. Not like when they were kids, just Batgirl and Robin, and he should have told her instead of trying to marry her later.

There’s a moment in time
And it’s stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
......
Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away
The scenes of our crimes
But for you this never ends

Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won’t bloom
Winter’s kept you
Don’t waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away

The Investigation (Sugarcult): Dick wants to be with Roy, but he doesn't feel worthy. It doesn't matter that Roy had been a druggie. Dick always believed in Roy, but not himself. Roy believes him in though, so maybe it'll work.

Breathing in slowly
Hearts beating lonely
Damaged by habits that haunt you
All of the goodbyes
All of the goodnights
All of the nice try's
Left you in the cold

This could be perfect
It could be worth it
This could be perfect
If I wasn't worthless

Infected (Bad Religion): Dick's time with the Outsiders and his time as Renegade was tumultuous. He punched Roy. He called him a druggie. Dick just wants Roy to stop him, because he doesn't think he can stop himself.

Now here I go,
Hope I don't break down,
I won't take anything, I don't need anything,
Don't want to exist, I can't persist,
Please stop before I do it again,
Just talk about nothing, let's talk about nothing,
Let's talk about no one, please talk about no one, someone, anyone

You and me have a disease,
You affect me, you infect me,
I'm afflicted, you're addicted,
You and me, you and me

I'm on the edge,
Get against the wall,
I'm so distracted,
I love to strike you,
Here's my confession,
You learned your lesson,
Stop me before I do it again

You're Gone (Something Corporate): Dick knows that he's no good for Kory, but when she asks him if he loves her and he says now, she tells him they can't be together, it hurts. It better off this way, for both of them, even if it hurts them both right now.

Taking steps back through the words I should've said to you
They all got lost
You went away
Well I feel sick and you just don't care anymore
Anymore
Hours to be with you
Minutes of me in you
And I can't feel this happening
So tie my hands back
And make me feel you coming down
Coming down...
......
And you don't care
Your face is on a billboard
And you're everywhere
You don't care much for interviews
You're gone you're gone you're gone you're gone
You're gone you're gone you're gone you're gone away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
If you don't like being hurt then get away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay

It's Not Over (Secondhand Serenade): In all his relationships, Dick doesn't want them to end. He tries so hard, but everyone leave him in the end, and he's not sure who's to blame.

......
I'm not the one to blame: it's you or is it me?
And all the words we never say come out and now we are all ashamed. And there is no sense
In playing games, when you done all you can do.
......
I lose myself in all these fights; I lose my sense of wrong and right. I cry, I cry. I'm
Shaking from the pain that's in my head. I just want to crawl into my bed and throw away
The life I led. But I won't let it die. But I won't let it die.
......
I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart. Don't say this wont last forever. You're breaking
My heart, you're breaking my heart. Don't tell that we will never be together. We could be over
And over, we could be forever.
......
It's not over. It's not over, it's never over, unless you let it take you, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, unless you let it break you. It's not over.

Stupid (Sarah McLachlan): Bruce is dead, and it should be Dick to fill the shoes of Batman. If he does, there's no way it would be good for him. Dick just wonders where everything went wrong.

Sleep has left me alone
To carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong
It's all I can do to hang on
To keep me from falling
Into old familiar shoes

How stupid could I be
A simpleton could see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see

Jason

You Found Me (The Fray): Jason's lying on the ground of a warehouse, bruised and broken. He's about to die, and Batman found him a little too late. Jason was already dead and gone.

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

Gone So Young (Amber Pacific): Jason never could have believed he would have died when and why he did. He was never prepared to die so young, even being Robin. He was just a light to brighten Batman's dark. With his return to life, he thinks he's on his own.

I wasn't prepared for what's to come
A life made of memories gone so young
And now I'm regretting all I've done
But in your heart know that I'm with you all along

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight

I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I'm on my own

If Only (Blaqk Audio): Jason wonders, if Bruce only knew what would have happened to him, would he really have saved him? Would he have found him had he known he was alive six months after his death? Maybe Jason doesn't want to know.

If only you
If only you
You only knew
Would you save me?

If only you
If only you
You only knew
Would you save me?

Would you save me?
Would you save me?
Would you save me?
Would you save me?

Gives You Hell (The All-American Rejects): Jason returns as Red Hood, and all the things Batman did wrong make a lengthy list. Jason says Tim is a pretender, and that Batman doesn't matter to him anymore.

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
.....
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes

Anything But Ordinary (Avril Lavigne): Jason knows he's fucked up. Hell, creepy laughter is what puts him to sleep now, but now it's his own laughs. He doesn't want to be normal, but he wonders his death was enough to mean anything.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby

Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream it makes me feel alive
......
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so borin'
I want to know that I have been
To the extreme
......
Anything to make me feel alive
......
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

All At Once (The Fray): While traversing the multiverse, his thoughts keep going back to Donna. They had been Titans together twice, so maybe the worlds were shoving them back together for a reason.

There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question
......
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there

Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

Untouched (The Veronicas): Jason doesn't care about the consequences of attacking Batman head on. His obsession with Bruce probably goes too far when he's Red Hood, worse still when he takes up the mantle himself when Bruce dies.

Don't even talk about the consequence
Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me
And I don't give a damn what they say, what they think think
Cause you're the only one who's on my mind
I'll never ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time for ever, never wanna hear you say goodbye (bye bye bye)
......
I can't forget you
Been going crazy from the moment I met you
......
See you, breathe you, I want to be you

Tim

Bizarre Love Triangle (New Order): When Tim's dad finds out about Robin, he feels relieved for all of five minutes. He lives a lie while he can't be Robin. Nobody knows how that feels, and he won't let them know.

It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows

Wind (Akeboshi): Tim remembers his Young Justice days, when he and Kon and the rest were young and just them. Now thinking back to those times just hurts.

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.

My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Everything's Gonna Be Alright (Sweetbox): Tim thinks things will be all right, once he clones Kon. Things will be okay again. Until then, he'll keep fighting.

To find a cure, to bring you back again
And the sun will rise, open up your eyes
Surprise, just a blink of an eye
I try, I try to be positive
You're a fighter, so fight, wake up and live

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away?
Can you give him life today?
Is everything gonna be okay?
I'll be your strength
I'll be here when you wake up

Takes Me Nowhere (The Offspring): After all the deaths Tim has had in his life, Tim can tell his turning into someone he doesn't want to be. He knows how it all will end, but he doesn't want to become Batman. He just wants out.

When the day begins
All the guilt sinks in
And I look on the wreckage of the night
Though I try to break free
The cycle breaks me
Am I ever gonna see the light?

All the friends I’ve lost
And the pain I’ve caused
Have never been enough just to make me stop
The lines I draw to look at myself
Are turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But I’m starting up again
Turned around, inside out
Cause this way

I'm Not Okay (My Chemical Romance): Tim doesn't know what Steph wants from him, but then she died. When she came back, he was not okay, and being with her was not option, not with her lies. She needs to understand that, so he lies.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
......
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
......
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)

Stephanie

Concrete Angel (Martina McBride): If she hadn't run away and if her dad hadn't killed him, Steph's babysitter probably could have made bad things happen for Steph. Her dad was no prize either.

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
......
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will be too late

Angel (Ghost of the Robot): Steph worked hard to become Robin, so when she was fired, she tried harder. She makes decisions to help out, but they weren't hers to make.

She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?
......
Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
They weren't even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she's very very tired

We (Kristine Sa): Steph and Tim used to be a we, but now they're not. He broke it off, and she hasn't seen him since.

And the comfortable silence we keep,
when we didn't need to speak...
......
Do you still remember....what we used to be?
What we were to each other?
'Cuz I recall so clearly...
We used to be...a We.
......
'Cuz in the end you took back what you saw.
Without doubt, without fear, without thought.

Consequence (Kristine Sa): Steph adored Tim. When he told her to stop being Spoiler, she stopped, her confidence taking a hit. She still loves him, but she thinks he doesn't love or want her anymore.

You were all things amazing to me
Made my life, gave me air I could breathe
Everything you did seemed right
I felt so innocent
I went crazy, so crazy for you
I gave my heart, lost my mind, payed my dues
Then when you pushed me aside
You took my confidence
......
In my mind I’m the girl of your dreams
I refuse to realize
That you were an accident (accident)
I can’t blame you for not wanting me (not wanting me)
I’d reclaim but, there’s no guarantee
That you would not leave me behind
I have my evidence

Cinderella (Sweetbox): Steph wants to know where everything went wrong. Girls are promised prince charming, but all she got was frogs. To hell with that; Steph is not going to wait for what she wants. She'll be Spoiler again too and make her own happy ending.

Here I am
Trying to find my way
I've kissed so many frogs but I've never found a prince
I think they lied
I was promised much more than this
Where's my happy-ever-after?
......
Something's wrong
'cause all my glass shoes break
And no one's ever helped this damsel in distress
To hell with this
I'm not gonna waste more time
I won't wait to find prince charming

Robins

Happy Boys And Girls (Aqua): Robins just want to make Batman smile. They're there to balance Batman out, after all, and they want to have fun while crime-fighting, while they're at it!

Try it with a giggle it will make you look so nice
And if you start to warm, you can further break the ice
come on let's go get it on, everybody let's go have some fun

I've got a feeling you could use a little smile
Hoping you could stay there for just a little while
Making a lot of noise up there, throw your hands up in the air

I don't want to waste my time on simple little things
I'd rather stay here all the night with everyone who sings

Happy boys and happy girls, will be
We are the happy boys and girls
Happy boys and happy girls, will be
So happy, yeah! so, so happy, yeah!

Watching Over Me (FFH): As long as Batman has their back, no Robin can fall. Batman is always watching out for his Robins, and he can do anything, according to a Robin.

Where could I run, where could I hide
Where could I go where You are not
Where could I be where You don't see
......
Where You wouldn't stop
The world from spinning 'round and 'round
When it seems like I am upside down
But in Your comfort I have found
A safe place to fall

And I'll be alright
Safe inside
Stayin' alive
As long as You are watching over me

Better Off Alone (Alice Deejay): Robins just wonder, does Batman think he'd be better off solo? They just want him to talk them and treat them like they really are his partners and not just sidekicks.

Do you think you're better off alone?
Do you think you're better off alone?
Do you think you're better off alone?
Do you think you're better off alone?

Talk to me...Ohhh, talk to me
Talk to me...Ohhh, talk to me

Do you think you're better off alone?
Do you think you're better off alone?

Thoughts Of You (Barlow Girl): Where would any of the Robins be without Batman? They don't know, and they're not sure how to thank him for making them who they are. They just try harder.

Thoughts of You and how You changed me
Fill my mind
Without You where would I be

So even though I've tried to express my thanks
It never comes out how I hoped
I want to say so much more so with these simple words
I'll try

My Life Would Suck Without You (Kelly Clarkson): Dick might have been stupid for leaving Robin like he did. Maybe Jason should have picked fights with Batman after being Robin. Tim knows he's fucked up, but so is Bruce. Steph knows being Robin was dysfunctional, especially the way she got the job. They all know without Bruce, their life is a lot darker.

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out
I'm nothing without you

Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh Yeah

Where Are You Now? (Michelle Branch): With Batman dead, the Robins are solo, but some are still looking for him. Will any of they ever figure out what really happened?

Maybe I'd be better on my own
No one ever seems to understand me
It's easier for me to be alone
But there's still a piece of me that feels so empty
I've been all over the world
I've seen a million different places
But through the crowds and all the faces
I'm still out there looking for you.
......
I write about the things I'll never know
And I can't find a moment just to slow down
It makes me think I'll never have the chance
To figure out what it's all about
So tell me what it's all about.

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all
And I still don't know
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Or do I have to wait
Or do I have to wait
Or do I have to wait forever?
