Songs from "Light Grenades" (album by Incubus)
Quicksand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5386nnK3L4Lyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635745/(sort of around the time Tara came out of her time being experimented on. Sort of summed up in the "of no, the monster's awake, won't stop till nothings left")
A Kiss To Send Us Off:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMBBQ5vt6KY&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858628479/(another referencing her time with Kyle.)
Dig:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqBKYrBMy9QLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635656/(kind of the general feeling in Tara and Kyle's Relationship)
Anna Molly:

(hm, I had never seen this music video before, kinda funny considering Tara's powers)
Love Hurts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxPcmi1U25gLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858626628/(This song is actually specifically the time around Kyle and Tara met each other and their respective reactions to each other. The first part of the song (until the second refrain starts), is Kyle's kind of fading hope to find love. The second is Tara, who has been through some situations that have caused her to seal of her heart, and meeting Kyle is making her question whether she should.)
Light Grenades:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFfX_6YjyiILyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635460/(I sort of see this speaking to what Tara has been through, what she may have done along the way how it's time for her to wake up, and 'remember who she is'. She needs a wake up call (that wake up call was Kyle) to see that she isn't the horrible person she had become and she needs to drop her hate if she's to survive)
Earth To Bella prt 1.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK5kk0MB_ZI&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858636532/(along the same lines as some of the early stuff, Tara had to open herself up before she could grow and move on or be stuck where she is forever)
Oil And Water:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2kOB6Gf10w&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635553/(more connections to Kyle and Tara. This is more specifically about Tara's weighed down heart 'anchor's on my shoulders' and 'blackened soul' and how she wants to let it go, but doesn't even realize it until she meets Kyle. It also expresses how they really were totally different and somehow, just right for each other because of it. It also is somewhat dealing with her feelings in the aftermath, how even though she is moving on she still thinks it was foolish to think everything would change and that no matter how he tried to shield her from what made her the way she was, he would never get it all 'There is no parasol that can shelter this weather'.
Diamonds and Coal:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m3kvTE7XKI&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635742/(I actually see this as Tara's relationship with her children. They were so different from her and she raised them fairly strictly because she never want to see them go down a similar path to her. As such their relationship was fairly strained and it seemed that it was like her twins were trying to say to her what this song says. That give us time, we'll even more than you hoped for)
Rogues:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWbjk3y4dh8&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635741/(this one was sort of hard to place at first, then I saw it fit fairly well with Tara making the decision to become part of HUNTERS group. She realized that there are too many things going wrong in the world to take a back seat. She needed to be part of the solution and hope that through their efforts, cause that 'ripple' that would change the world.)
Paper Shoes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHX2qiVkJ40&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635743/(This is to do with Tara getting over something again. However this is a bit later in her life and is getting over the her guilt and pain for what she had done (while still lingering a little on Kyle). She saw that it did her no good and letting it haunt here was only holding her back.)
Pendulous Threads:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ72ZWPLmZc&feature=relatedLyrics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ72ZWPLmZc&feature=related(this song is a bit more universal in it's nature, so it applies well to most anyone. It's saying that you have two routes in life, in one you try to fix every little thing about yourself and guard your every flaw and emotion from the world, or just live life, and let it be)
Earth To Bella prt2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN6mzhIx52ILyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858635919/(the next step, and the final one. Tara has finally forgive herself for raising her hand in anger against Kyle and killing him. She's felt horrible about it and let it dog her ever second whether she showed it or not. She had to drop that final 'anchor on her shoulder'. Remember the past, but not let it rule her. Once she does that, she will finally be whole again.)
PunchDrunk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SwzOVipYfwLyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858637437/(Alright, first off, punchdrunk is a term that means you're not actually drunk, but for some reason (usually a extreme emotional one (usually enraged or depressed) you have similar symptoms, or that you are just faking. After learning this and listening the song some more. It seemed to me that this perfectly embodied the first night Tara and Kyle made love. She was 'drunk' on anger and hurt and he was her ride home.)
Look Alive:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca3UWwMNQdALyrics:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858637436/(Live life, enjoy the good times, care about what counts and remember it all. That's what this song is about, and it's partially about the realization of that fact. 'The wider angle' and 'wiser, wider part' they talk about it the big picture, and the ability to see it. After all she's been through, Tara has finally come to understand it.)
I would actually like an opinion of my views if anyone had one. ;p
Or if you have anything I didn't see.
