In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins Macduff killing Macbeth [] I felt like this was an appropriate song to sum up the feelings and emotions during the scene where Macduff kills Macbeth. After losing his entire family, his king, and being forced to flee to England, all that Macduff can think about is restoring the throne and claiming vengeance over Macbeth. The lyrics of the song support this yearning for instance, "I've been waiting for this moment, all my life." The song states how he knew something was going on and Macbeth was guilty, supported by this potion of the second verse. "Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been  It's all been a pack of lies " Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis - Trivium Macbeth deciding to kill or not to kill [] Macbeth is plagued by the stress of making his decision to kill Duncan or leave him alive and keep his honor. This is a perfect song for the moments leading up to the murder. In the lyrics we can see the words "Torn between death and doom, destruction by decision". I interpreted this as no matter what is decided, both will end in destruction, and both will end badly. Macbeth has already told his wife that he would do it, and she is power hungry and would never respect Macbeth again, where as if Macbeth kills Duncan, he throws away his eternal soul. Another Way Out - Hollywood Undead Macbeth killing Banqou [] This song is about coming for an enemy, and taking them out, its something that reminded me of Macbeth when he decides to kill Banqou. Its not something that Macbeth wanted to do, he didn’t want to kill one of his best friends, however he felt he was required to, to protect his throne. For instance the line ,"I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-oooouuuut for you." If Macbeth could find another way he would, but he simply cant. The line, "I better find you first, before you find the phone," I felt this was relevant because Macbeth is in a race against time, he cant have Banqou telling anybody his suspicions. Almost Easy - Avenged Sevenfold Macbeth first regretting the death of Duncan [] Almost easy is a song about forgiveness, and how easy it is to say you're sorry, but not necessarily be impacted by that apology. I also interpreted a sense of grief and coping with loss tied into these themes. After Duncan's death Macbeth is distraught and even says he wants no further part in it. But later on in the play he keeps murdering, showing how he was not sorry. This is supported by the verse, Shame pulses through my heart From the things I've done to you It's hard to face, but the fact remains That this is nothing new The grief that he is suffering is overwhelming and I felt the constant repition of the phrase "I'm not insane" exemplified his grief. Comeback - Redlight King Macduff fleeing to England [] The song comeback is about, unsurprisingly, rising back up from damaged roots. This song is appropriate for Macduff fleeing to England after he learns of Macbeths true intentions. This particular verse really exemplifies what I think Macduff was feeling as he fled. Look into my eyes you'll see A graveyard filled with dirt and defeat Look into my eyes you'll see The weight on my soul Where the fallen angels sleep The crooked hearts and the crossroads meet Macduff is a man with nothing else left to lose, so he is going to make his comeback and win the throne back for the rightful holder. Lost in Forever(scream) - P.O.D Lady Macbeth killing herself [] Lost in forever is a sad song to me, its about floating in a spot that you cant really get out of, and only being able to look up. Lady Macbeth is feeling depressed by this point, she has lost her original malice, and is overcome with guilt, paranoia, and grief. The lyrics: BUT MY SPIRIT GROANS TO SEE THE AFTER LIFE I’M SO BROKEN AND SMALL, COME HERE AND TAKE ME AWAY Overall its just appropriate because she sees no way to turn, and is begging for it to end.
