The first one I've completed is called Lilium. I not only wanted Lucy/Nyu's favorite song to reoccur a couple of times during the beginning and end. I also wanted to add some really good ones from the original OST, with a mix of these other songs that, to me, fit this character a lot.

Track List with some notes/lyrics
1. Full Opening theme of the original version of Lilium
2. Full song of Lilium, the male choir version
(To me, this sounds more chilling than the other!)
3. "Time for People" by Atomship
("I've found no people killing time, so I've found time for killing people." "Contemplating genocide./Upstairs waiting, scattered people./Afraid that feeling hasn't died./It gets lonely for my people./And if you wait on me, I'll be free one day." "People always drifting out of pain./They cannot hold onto nothingness." "So many fingers pointing at me.")
4. "To the Edge" by Lacuna Coil
("Life is so short./Close to the edge of another backdoor./Life is so sure./Life will be ready to twist up your world." "Here it starts to enlighten./There's a frame I can't change/That I just have to watch again./Reminder/Repressed inside me/Keeps repeating")
5. "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent
("Tell it's me by the clamor now, baby./I'd like to tear up the street." "Got you in a stranglehold, baby./You'd best get out of the way..." "The road I cruise is a bitch now./You know you can't turn me 'round./And if a house gets in my way,/You know I'll burn it down./You ran the night that you left me, and put me in my place./Got you in a stranglehold, baby./That night, I crushed your face!")
6. "Butterflies and Hurricanes" by Muse
("Change everything you are, and everything you were./Your number has been called./Fights and battles have begun./Revenge will surely come./Your hard times are ahead./Best, you've got to be the best./You've got to change the world,/And use this chance to be heard./Your time is now.")
7. "Oblivion" by 30 Seconds to Mars
("The enemy arrives./Escape into the night./Everybody run now, everybody run now/Break into another time." "Everybody run now, everybody run now./Everybody run now. Everybody, run!" "Under the burning sun,/I take a look around./Imagine if this all came down./I'm waiting for the day to come.")
8. "Repeat Offender" by Trapt
("Where do I turn?/I'm always questioning my sanity./Will I ever learn?/I have always stolen my identity." "I don't want a life without respect, life without respect/I feel there is nowhere that I fit, nowhere that I fit./I am a repeat offender./I will live with this forever./I am a repeat offender. I am a repeat offender." "I live in a world/That gives no meaning to integrity.")
9. "Innocence Again" by Switchfoot
(In my honest opinion, this one fits Nyu! "When you told me love was the strongest stuff/Your strength was innocence." "Who are you going to be?/When you're on your knees,/Who do you believe?/Fear is a lonely man./You've been given innocence/You've been given innocence again.")
10. "Somewhere" by Within Temptation
(Lucy and Nyu altogether longing for love and closeness with Kohta. "Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign./Instead there is only silence/Can't you hear my screams?/Never stop hoping/Need to know where you are/But one thing is for sure/You're always in my heart/I'll find you somewhere/I'll keep on trying, until my dying day/I just need to know whatever has happened/The truth will free my soul!/Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home/I want to embrace you, and never let you go.")
11. "Easier to Run" by Linkin Park
("It's easier to run/Replacing this pain with something numb/It's so much easier to go/Than face all this pain here all alone./Something has been taken from deep inside of me./A secret I've kept locked away./No one can ever see./Wounds so deep, they never show./They never go away./Like moving pictures in my head,/For years and years they've played./If I could change I would/Take back the pain, I would/Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would/If I could stand up and take the blame, I would/If I could take all the shame to the grave, I would." "Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past./Bringing back these memories/I wish I didn't have./Sometimes I think of letting go, and never looking back,/And never moving forward so there'd never be a past." "Just washing it aside/All of the helplessness inside/Pretending I don't feel misplaced/Is so much simpler than change.")
12. "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" by Fuel
("What did you expect to find?/Was there something you left behind?/Don't you remember anything I said when I said,/Don't fall away, and leave me to myself./Don't fall away, and leave love bleeding/In my hands, in my hands again./Leave love bleeding in my hands/In my hands/Love lies bleeding...")
13. "Bleed Like Me" by Trapt
("Can you tell?/That I pick my poison well/That I have no more to sell to you/Is it really that important that I settle down?/Does it really even matter that I have my doubts?/I search for the one who bleeds/I reach for the one who bleeds, like me./I have my doubts, I have my doubts/And do does everybody else./So help me take this all away/You gotta help me take this all away./Please help me take this all away/And bleed like me.")
14. "Monster" by Skillet
("The secret side of me, I never let you see/I keep it caged but I can't control it/So stay away from me, the beast is ugly/I feel the rage and I just can't hold it/I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin/I must confess that I feel like a monster/I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun/I must confess that I feel like a monster.")
15. "Bend the Bracket" by Chevelle
("The war is on, too weak to move/Call it off. Sorry, refused./So we bend the bracket/Shove it down/Anything to make it fit/It's on,/And being foolish won't cover up./Exposing them as fakes." "So boredom captured another fool/Shredding him to bits/It's on/And the more we tense up/Avoiding pain/You'll never learn a thing.")
16. Elfen Lied OST - "Shinkai"
(Conflicting emotions and angst on Lucy's end)
17. "Comedown" by Bush
(To me, most of the lyrics fit to Lucy/Nyu's inner conflict between wanting to be with Kohta forever, and harsh reality. "Love and hate, get it wrong/She cut me right back down to size/Sleep the day. Let it fade./Who was there to take your place?/No one knows, never will./Mostly me, but mostly you./What do you say, do you do/When it all comes down?/'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud./It's taken me all this time to find out what I need again." "There's only blame, only shame./When you beg, you just complain./The more I come, the more I try./All police are paranoid.")
18. "Like Lovers (Holding On)" by Texas
(A Lucy and Kohta romance song. :) "There's a feeling we're reaching for/In the fields where it all began/Listen, do you hear?/I thought I heard a promise/But that empty fear, it grows./And I'm scared that I will forget./But I... I can remember/Look around and round/There's people still hanging on./See, it's me. I'm the one./Believe in me. I've just begun./We'll be here when the lights come on./When it all comes down to me and you.../Just a boy and girl/Trying to change a cold world./I don't expect that you understand/When you look at this empty land.")
19. "Disappear" by Hoobastank
(Another really shippy song for Lucy, and the guy she loves. "There's a pain that sleeps inside/It sleeps with just one eye/And awakens the moment that you leave/Though I try to look away/The pain, it still remains/Only leaving when you're next to me./Do you know, that every time you're near,/Everybody else seems far away?/So can you come, and make them disappear?/Make them disappear, and we can stay.../So I stand and look around/Distracted by the sounds/Of everyone, and everything I see/And I search through every face/Without a single trace, of the person/The person that I need.")
20. "Fight Inside" by Red
(Obviously, this one's referring to a conflict between the good and bad of Lucy herself. "And it finds me/The fight inside is coursing through my veins./And it's raging/The fight inside is breaking me again.")
Tracks 21 through 24 feature some more amazing music from the Elfen Lied OST.
25. A cool remix of Lilium!
26. The music box version of Lilium; a nice touch to end this great, great playlist.
I'll edit in the shorter but no less epic other playlist that exclusively centers around Lucy.
