Bianca songs

[Julie]

"Me And A Gun" by Tori Amos is about Tori Amos's rape, but it also echoes that same horror from Bianca's rape on the screen. Very breathtaking.



"Me And A Gun" by Tori Amos
5 AM
Friday morning
Thursday night
Far from sleep
I'm still up and driving
Can't go home
Obviously
So I just
Change directions
'Cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun
And a man on my back
And I sang, "holy, holy!"
As he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh
It's kinda funny
The things you think in times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbedos
So I must get out of this
It was me and a gun
And a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbedos
So I must get out of this
Yes, I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread
For you
Your friends
Your father
Mr. Ed
And I know what this means
Me and Jesus
A few years back
Used to hang and he said
"It's your choice babe,
Just remember
I don't think
You'll be back
In 3 days time
So you choose well."
Tell me what's right!
Is it my right
To be on my stomach?
Of Fred Seville's?
And do you know Carolina?
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet?
These things go through your head
When there's a man on your back
And your pushed flat on your stomach
It's not a classic cadillac
It was me and a gun
And a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbedos
So I must get out of this

[Julie]

"Juarez" by Tori Amos is about the rapes in Juarez, Mexico a long time ago. The main point of the song is to show that no angel came to save them, sometimes the angels can't help us, and sometimes they don't hear our cries.



Juarez

Dropped off the edge again
Down in Juarez
Don't even bat an eye
If the eagle cries
The Rasta Man says
Just 'cause the desert likes
Young girl's flesh
And no angel came

NO ANGEL CAME

I don't think you even know
What you think you just said
So go on and spill your seed
Shake your gun to the Rasta Man's head
And the desert - she must be blessed
And no angel came

NO ANGEL CAME

There's a time to keep it up
A time to keep it in
The Indian is told
The cowboy is his friend
You know that I can breathe
Even when I cheat
Should
Should've been over me
No angel came

NO ANGEL CAME

"Fighter" by Christina Aguilera is about getting through situations no matter how hard they are and that is shown in Bianca's life:



"Fighter" by Christina Aguilera

After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end, I wanna thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger

Well I
Thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were
There by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know
Just how capable
I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard, you're going round
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies
'Cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore
No more, uh uh, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how, to be this way now
And never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies
Disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You, won't, stop, me

Thought I would forget?
I remember
'Cause I remember
I remember!

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

"You" by Janet Jackson is about accepting yourself as you are and it relates to Bianca's coming out storyline in my opinion.



"You" by Janet Jackson
Here I am in your face
Tellin' truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're runnin' outta time
See ya can't get away
I'll be here forever and again
Whisperin' in your ear
Do believe 'cause you know you cannot win

Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth
If special's what you feel when you're with them
Taken away, you feel less than again

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

There's a feelin' inside
No you cannot change it right away
Gotta make a try
And with it time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
'Cause I'm the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to

Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you, you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
You cannot run for you can't hide from you
Can't hide from you

That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you

"Foolish Games" by Jewel is about people who play with our hearts, telling us that they love us and then changing their mind and saying only as a friend, and then changing and saying, maybe. It's the games that Maggie played with Bianca's heart that makes this song relate to the BAM storyline:



"Foolish Games" by Jewel
You took your coat off
And stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside
Looking in on you
You were always the mysterious one
With dark eyes and careles hair
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care
You stood in my doorway
With nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart
Bleeding before you
This is me down on me knees

These foolish games
Are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words
Are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes
And talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art
Baroque moved you
You loved Mozart
And you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring
Things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line
I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me
Think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a @#%$
Somebody more like myself

These foolish games
Are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words
Are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that

[Julie]

"Joga" by Bjork reminds of Maggie and Bianca's friendship because there is so much loyalty and trust.



"Joga" by Bjork

All these accidents that happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak - I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

all that no one sees
You see
what's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts
You heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

[Julie]

"Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera reminds me of how Bianca feels about Kendall.



"Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then
I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
But I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends
You're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
You left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?
You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
You are beautiful
In every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
So do don't you bring you down today

No matter what we do
No matter what they say
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might wake up on the other side
'Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring us down
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
So do you bring us down
Today

[Julie]

"For You I Will" by Monica reminds me of Kendall's protectiveness towards Bianca.



"For You I Will" by Monica

When you're feelin' lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me
I will be waitin'
Count on me
I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime the best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make you better
I'll be there to protect you
See you through
I'll be there and there is nothing
I won't do

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero
Your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will let you wait for all time
Promise you
For you I will

I will shield your heart from the rain
I won't let no harm come your way
Oh, these arms will be your shelter
No, these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I'll move that mountain for you
I'm here for you
I'm here forever
I will be your fortress
Tall and strong
I'll keep you safe
I'll stand beside you
All night long

For you I will
Lay my life on the line
For you I will fight a
For you I will die
With every breath
With all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me
And I'll do anything

Promise you
For you I will

[Julie]

"To Zion" by Lauryn Hill reminds me of how Bianca feels about her baby girl, Miranda and how she was told to have an abortion but she chose to bring a good life to this Earth. Proving innocence and unconditionally loving pure life.



"To Zion" by Lauryn Hill

One day
People will understand
Miranda

Unsure of what the balance held
I touch my belly overwhelmed
By what I have been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me kneel down and pray
For unto me a girl will be born
Whoa! This crazy circumstance
I knew her life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
"Look at your life!" they said
"Bianca, baby, use your head!"
But instead I chose to use my heart

Now the joy of my world
Is in Miranda

How beautiful is nothing more
Than to wait and Miranda's door
I've never felt love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See, life for you, my princess
Has just begun
And I thank you for choosin' me
To come through unto life to be
The beautiful reflection of her grace
See, I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded everytime I see her face

That the joy of my world
Is in Miranda

Marching, marching to Miranda
Beautiful, beautiful Miranda

[Julie]

"God's Step Child" by Janet Jackson reminds me of how Kendall feels about herself and how Bianca helped her feel better about who she is by accepting Miranda.



"God's Step Child" by Janet Jackson

Got a story for you
'Bout a little friend
Never felt good enough
Had a heart to mend
Never felt pretty
Learned to just pretend
Wished someone had listened
For her cries of pain

Maybe I'm the lucky one
Maybe the forgotten one
Maybe, but I know
I'm not God's step child

Didn't want to burden
Mother had enough stress
So often I'd talk to you
Through my four legged friends
Always there to listen
Though I felt so all alone
And in my times of trouble
I know you saw my smile of pain

Maybe I'm the lucky one
Maybe the forgotten one
Maybe, but I know
I'm not God's step child

Now that I'm much older
Gone through so much pain
I learned that I should love me
No more feeling ashamed
I've seen the great illusions
I've seen the rough terrain
I've walked through my own journey
And my love for you remains

I know I'm the lucky one
I know I'm a special one
I know that God does not have
A step child

[Julie]

"Numb" by Linkin Park reminds me a lot of how Erica is always pressuring Bianca to do something and Bianca never wanting to be like Erica.



"Numb" by Linkin Park

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes

Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take
Is another mistake to you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

[EveClayton]

" Walk On" by U2 ..... reminds me of all the difficult times in Bianca's life, her rape ,dealing with her mother, and other times that she had to struggle throu life ,but in the end she always made it ,she always got up when she fell and didnt let anyone keep her down. She's truly a remarkable young woman ,who I think we can all learn alot from. Here's to u Binx!!!!!!!

The Lyrics :-


And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind


And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong


Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it


Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight


You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen


You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom


Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it


Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight


And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much


Walk on
Walk on


Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one


Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going


Home
That's where the hurt is


And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on


You've got to leave it behind


All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break


All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind


All that you reason
All that you care

It's only time
And I'll never fill up all I find



All that you sense...
