   moment, he sings, "If my heart could beat, it would break my chest!" He   
   feels in limbo with Buffy, and he wants her to leave him alone (but not   
   really).

   Going Through The Motions   
      
   While this song connects to depression, there are also funny moments in it.   
   Buffy is hunting and feels like she's just going through the motions, a   
   common feeling for someone with depression.   
      
   Even those that she's hunting notice she's going through the motions as they   
   sing, "She ain't got that swing." Buffy sings back, "Thank you for   
   noticing," and kills them. This makes it seem that the monsters are more   
   aware of her emotional state than her friends are.

   Give Me Something To Sing About   
      
   In this song, Buffy has to reveal to her friends that they ripped her out of   
   heaven, "There was no pain, no fear, no doubt 'til they pulled me out ... of   
   heaven." It's a painful song and the biggest reveal of the episode.   
      
   Luckily, she's saved from self-destruction by both Spike and Dawn, who   
   convince her to live. It's a fast-paced song with great musicality and   
   timing. When we hear Buffy sing, "So give me something to sing about,   
   please," we feel the weight of that. As we know from her other songs, she   
   wants to feel alive, to be back to normal, but everything just feels like   
   hell right now.   
      
      
        [Of course, there were a few other, shorter songs -  "They Got the   
   Mustard Out", "No Parking", "Dawn's Lament", and "See You All in Hell" that   
   were good but too short, I suppose, to be included.]   
      
       [There was one other song, "I'm the Mrs." sung by Anya in the season   
   seven episode "Selfless". Too bad it couldn't have been included in OMWF. It   
   would have followed "Going Through the Motions".]
