"Easily Led*" 1985 Please don't you do it to me no more Don't you do it to me - I wouldn't do it to you And don't you do it to me The feeling's honest as I lie sleeping with burning desire Trying to be nice and all in keeping - lying on my fire Oh, he's so professional - he's so professional He's just as cool as ice, and every time he smiles He is so professional, so professional He's so professional - He's just as cool as ice Every time he smiles - you know it's rather nice He needs a confidante - you tell him you're the one With the mouth that smiles, and then he has to leave Never satisfied, as I light up my fire He is so professional, so professional Wouldn't do it to you - so don't you do it to me Playing with me like you do - it's okay You only want me when you want to - but it's alright About time I got the answer - I'll pay Now I find I finally lost my reason, tonight I wouldn't do it to you, so why you do it to me I wouldn't do it to you Paying the price of love is cheaper - I'm not the only buyer Sugar and spice a choice of sweetenin' takes him to acquire Oh, he's so professional, so professional It's just a change of pace - it's just a change of way Playing with me like you do [etc repeated] You twist me this way and that way, and I don't know Which way that you want me to go Come on babe - what do you want me to do? Come on baby - don't you be untrue Been loving you far too long I don't know where my love has gone Ain't paying the price no more I ain't paying the price no more You're the only, only, only guy in my dreams - I love you I've been lonely, lonely, lonely so long now I've been waiting for you - I love you --

*pronoun swapped lyrics. Original ‘Easily Lead’ | Robert Plant | 1985

The title is something Robert said in interviews was one of his first circular referencing back to Zeppelin in his solo work and lyrics, but with a different spelling. It references Rock and Roll too of course (and to my mind Otis Reading’s ‘Loving You Too Long’). For Jimmy and Robert 1985 sees Live Aid and Jimmy playing with the Firm and Robert’s notorious fangirling in the ‘He won’t be with me now’ interviews promoting his new album.

Blue Foundation - Eyes on Fire

I'll seek you out, Flay you aliveOne more word and you won't surviveAnd I'm not scared, Of your stolen powerI see right through you any hour

Anyone who intentionally hurts his close friends shall get this song. He'll advance slowly, to the beat of the song, towards them, playing the song in their head.

I'm taking it slow, Feeding my flameShuffling the cards of your gameAnd just in time, In the right placeSuddenly I will play my ace

He'll keep on going with them, following in them, ominously, eyes narrowed. He'll play along with their attacks if they try to attack him as well, or he'll continue after them.

You can attack Dualscar, and he won't mind (love of the fight), but if you intentionally hurt one of his friends, especially when they are harmless...then he has a problem.

I won't soothe your painI won't ease your strainYou'll be waiting in vainI got nothing for you to gain

You attacked one of his friends. His normal demeanor of not causing any unnecessary pain is gone. He wants to make you pay. And he will not stop until you have atoned for your sins.

Eyes on fire, Your spine is ablazeFelling any foe with my gazeAnd just in time, In the right placeSteadily emerging with grace

And he will make you pay.

Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

This world will never beWhat I expectedAnd if I don't belongWho would have guessed it

As evidenced in previous lyrics, he knows that this world is not ideal, and is even dysfunctional. He is a keystone, a relic of good intention, but he knows that he cannot help change everyone or everything.

No one will ever seeThis side reflectedAnd if there's something wrongWho would have guessed it

He knows that no one will see the ideal, the utopia he so desperately tries to help others achieve, via mind or fighting for fightings sake.

Though despite all the obstacles, he still hopes that for a glimmer of an ideal, that:

It's not too lateIt's never too late

Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow

And I'll survive, paranoidI have lost the will to changeAnd I am not proud, cold-blooded fakeI will shut the world away

Dualscar will keep going, keep actively participating in the matters of the world, because he believes that at least some of it will fall into disarray without him. He will not change his outlook on the universe or societies in general, because of the pervading darkness. Despite all of this, his thoughts remain on the time when he served as an Orphaner. He works as an agent of good, but still, he's not proud of what he did before. And he knows that what he does now is at least, in part, to atone for his previous sins.

Jeff Williams - Extraction (feat. Casey Lee Williams)

morte ai nostri nemici (death to our enemies)la tua guerra e persa (your war is lost)nonpuoi distruggere (you can not destroy us)come la folgore dal ceilo (like lightning from heaven)

It's Dualscar during an epic battle, right before he uses either of his fraymotifs. He resounds this song, as well as the lyrics, throughout the area. It is his warming that you are about to face incredible power.

Klaypex - Chinter's Will (feat. Sarah Kay)

I see the bright blue skyThrough the clear ocean waterThe darkness is disguisedBehind the perfect clutter

Dualscar often meditates (hahaha like you didn't know that) when he's underwater. The calming sea, the fish that do not disturb him, everything. Solitude. But whenever he comes out of his temporary stasis, he looks up. He senses, and knows, that there is coming darkness, all throughout the universe. All masked behind a veil of light and cheerfulness.

Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger

Work It Harder Make It BetterDo It Faster, Makes Us strongerMore Than Ever Hour AfterOur Work Is Never Over

Well, my first thought is that those are the only lyrics, yet it describes his mindset perfectly. He works and trains harder, to make his skills better. He keeps pushing himself, trying to train and do everything faster. But no matter what he does, his work is never over. Still fights to be had, still acquaintances to meet, still people to help, still work to be done.
