anatural: Korra is full of dread (i am annoyed)
"Li" and Korra's first meeting is incredibly epic...but also kind of confusing to follow. (Yay threadjacking?)

Here is my attempt to make it slightly easier to follow.

RAIN
Patty Griffin
It's hard to know when to give up the fight
Some things you want will just never be right
Commentary
There's a reason it's a "disastership".
GRAVITY
Sara Bareilles
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that
You're keeping me down
Commentary
Those four lines = their entire relationship
JEKYLL AND HYDE
Plumb
Well it's not easy for me to be
Somebody different somebody else but me
But you're the actor the extraordinaire
You make it look like I am the crazy one here
Commentary
Li is an expert liar. Korra...is not.
BREAKING
Anberlin
Do you collect the souls you've lost
In the top of your dresser drawer
Count the number of tears displaced
On lonely bedroom floors
A machine where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew
Commentary
Korra certainly isn't the only one whose heart he's fucked with.
WALK OF SHAME
P!nk
One step, two steps,
Counting tiles on the floor.
Three steps, four steps,
Guess this means that I'm a whore.
Commentary
No, it doesn't really fit anything, but it was the theme song of this thread (NSFW).
GOING OUT OF MY MIND
Amy Studt
Cos I'm going out of my mind,
And I don't think it's fair.
Just when things seemed to be fine,
You changed then didn't care.
Cos the least you could do,
Is to talk this through
And I'm going out of my mind,
Over you.
Commentary
It's been an ongoing thing in their relationship: something happens between them (sex, dancing), then he shuts down and won't explain why.
YOU KNOW MY NAME
Chris Cornell
Arm yourself
Because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize
It may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
Commentary
This thread
HOT N COLD
Katy Perry
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down

You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You!
You don't really want to stay, no
You!
But you don't really want to go
Commentary
One moment he's sweet, the next he's mean. One moment he's intimate, the next he's closed off. Man of mixed signals.
HOWL
Florence + the Machine
If you could only see
The beast you've made of me
I held it in but now
It seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark,
I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest
To taste your beating heart
Commentary
If she gets nothing else out of this relationship, at least she's learned one thing: she really likes sex.
IMPOSSIBLE
Anberlin
You're impossible to love or leave
So impossible to win or please
I'm wearing you out
Just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive; harder to forget
Take what you want
Commentary
They're stuck together, drawn together, pushing each other's buttons and chipping at each other's walls.
HEAVY
Holly Brook
Underneath the corset of your mystery
Piece by piece undress you from your history
I'm sleeping with seclusion in sweet disarray

You can go heavy on me
And I will not weigh you down, down, down
You can be steady and clean
I can take it heavy on me
And I will not weigh you down
Commentary
Korra's not sure what she feels about him, but she knows something is deeply wrong with him, and she wants to help.
