Some songs that remind me of Michael Kaiser (aside from his fav song) (this is a messy post):
1. "Christmas Kids" by Roar
-> The title itself is already saying something.
-> "You'll change your name or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know" How his childhood trauma still effects him until this day.
-> Mentions of alcohol in the song.
2. "In the Blood" by John Mayer
-> The whole situation he has with his parents (its in the blood) and how his trauma effects him as a person (the parallels of him and his father).
3. "Lovely" by Lauren Babic & Seraphim
-> "Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here Even if it takes all night or a hundred years" He once secretly saved up and planned to use the money to make it out of that household.
-> "Isn't it lovely, all alone? Heart made of glass, my mind of stone" How his past had him end up all alone, being unable to connect to other people normally, and also how he acts so prideful & strong on the outside but his ego is so fragile.
4. "Are You Satisfied?" by Marina
-> "The day I got the deal, chemically calm Was I meant to feel happy that my life Was just about to change?" I need to remind you that he himself had no other choice to get out of the prison other than taking that bastard munchen club offer.
-> "High achiever, don't you see? Baby, nothing comes for free They say I'm a control freak Driven by a greed to succeed Nobody can stop me 'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away" Pretty much his introduction at the NEL; to seeing his backstory of choosing to use ness for his benefits; to when he realized what was stopping him from unlocking more of his potential.
-> "I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine" When he got himself to act rationally (like a scoring machine) in the NEL.
-> "'Cause, I feel like I'm the worst So I always act like I'm the best" Him having a fragile ego but acts as if he is the opposite of it. He also definitely has a distorted view of himself (in a negative way, quote "i'm a piece of shit").
-> "If you are not very careful Your possessions will possess you" He was already satisfied with what he had, and thus was unable to unlock more potential (remember when he went back to zero? Its like when he discarded his possessions haha wow yay)
-> "I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy" When he teammed up with Isagi, felt happy playing soccer, and whatever happened with that pass from Ness.
-> "Oh! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh! " & "I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die, die, die, die" Live & Fly: when he was thriving on the field. Fail & Die: when he was having THE crashout field and everything started tumbling down.
