Earlier I had posted that I have to pick a song that relates to the character Piggy from Lord of the Flies, and right now I'm stuck between four. I'm trying to analyze the lyrics to see which one fits Piggy the best, and I wanted some different opinions. It doesn't matter if you've never heard the songs - I'm going by the lyrics.

So, which song do you personally think suits Piggy the best? I've provided the lyrics, and I'd really appreciate anyone who could help.


My Life Without Me, by Neverending White Lights

In days ahead we find
We're strangers passing by
Was I wrong here, I wrong here?

I wasn't strong was I, strong was I?
Hey, what went wrong there?
We held on when they let go

Tonight we crawl to everyone
To save the things we never had there
They can't save a dying light

I had blamed everything on everyone
I had played for everything, for everyone

And we're only only

Faces are all blind
Strangers lost in time
Was I wrong here, I wrong here?
I didin't run did I, run did I?

And we're only

And we're only wasting (time)


The World is Darker, by Neverending White Lights

You long to see the world die
I long to keep the cure inside
Every violent whisper, every crash
Pounding in my heart

Love can save a thousand lives
Joy in a world that sweetly cries
For every violent moment it has become
The cure will come, thy will be done

Well it's only lonely souls I'm after
The heart is dark but the world is darker

Watch yourback if your heart is weeping
Watch your heart if your back is bleeding

Well it's only lonely souls I'm after
The heart is dark but the world is darker
Lonely souls in the sweet hereafter
The heart is dark but the world is darker


Eden, by Emily Haines

Welcome to the garden of Eden
Can you see even me, when I'm pushed
Call it a fall and lay all the blame on me

From where I'm standing, it's a long way down
Up here, at the top of a building
Top of a mountain, top of a crowd
Watching all the people moving down there in their clothes
It's like they're hiding, but there's nothing left
That everybody doesn't already know
I feel alright; i'm not coming down
until I remember, and I will remember

Where I'm standing, it's high enough,
I'm looking over miles and miles of highway signs
Do you know how to get out when you run out of reasons
Ran out of reasons nights ago
And I will remember,
if I still remember the garden of Eden
You could see even me, when I'm pushed
Called it a fall and lay all the blame on me


Our Hell, by Emily Haines

First went wrong is hard to find,
We’re paralyzed, we apologize; our hell is a good life.
Last went wrong but where's my prize, under the lights?
Can we call it in? We'll be on the road.
Can we stop? When we stop,
My back will turn your face towards the fence.
What I thought it was it isn’t now
What I thought it was it isn’t now

All this weight is honest worse.
We’re moderate; we modernize 'til our hell is a good life.
All we know is to forget how to do right,
Colouring in the black hole. Can we stop?
When we stop my hands will shake,
My eyes will burn, my throat will ache,
Watching you turn from me towards your friends.

What I thought it was it isn’t now
What I thought it was it isn't
Punishment to stall what is done.
What I thought was in this is missing out.
What I thought it was it isn’t now

There’s a pattern in the system,
There’s a bullet in the gun.
That’s why I tried to save you, but it can't be done.
It can't be done.
