Looking Back | A Megamind Fanmix

01. First Time by Lifehouse | For once in my life, I'm scared to death. I'm taking a chance letting you inside.

Inspired by the Megamind(Bernard)/Roxanne montage scene of them falling in love. Particularly, when Roxanne says she hasn't had a reason to laugh for awhile. This whole montage is so light and fluffy, and this song immediately made me think of it.

02. Behind Enemy Lines by Demi Lovato | I've been walking behind enemy lines. I've been fighting, fighting from the other side.

As Megamind puts on his charade as Bernard, he literally begins treading dangerous waters. He's still the bad guy and Roxanne is still determined to see him taken down somehow. Things only get more complicated, of course, as he falls in love.

03. Stuttering by Fefe Dobson | There's a whole lotta things that I will forgive, but I just can't take a liar.

When Roxanne learns the truth about Megamind's charade, she has every reason to think that he's a liar and villain she could never be with.

04. Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson | I told you everything, opened up and let you in. You made me feel alright for once in my life.

Look at the thoughts during/following the rain scene. Both Roxanne and Megamind are hurt for very similar reasons. Both got close, sharing their secrets with one another (especially Megamind to Roxanne). Both thought each other could be the one until the truth was discovered.

05. Over Thinking by Relient K | I was thinking, over thinking about exactly how I'm not exactly him.

Poor Megamind is so clearly confused after Roxanne rejects him. He was changing for her, but then she broke his heart sending him back to villainy. This song delves into his back and forth thoughts in those moments as he heads back to the evil lair following their fight.

06. My Happy Ending (Radio Edit) by Avril Lavigne | You were all the things I thought I knew and I thought we could be.

Mostly Roxanne's point of view of how she might have felt after finding out that the man she fell in love was nothing but a fantasy so to speak. She obviously thought that Bernard might be the one, but then Megamind temporarily ruined her happy ending.

07. Beautiful Mess by Miranda Cosgrove | I saw lightning, but you just see rain. I hear music. That's my heart being played.

This may seem like another Roxanne-centric look at the relationship she and Megamind had (since it's clearly from a woman's point of view at some parts), but there are some very general lines that make me think of both characters' reactions to what they had. I personally think both Roxanne and Megamind were thinking the other didn't care as much as they did about the relationship. Tither way, they are both stuck with a beautiful mess.

08. All In by Lifehouse | It's alright, I came to my senses. Let go of my defenses. There's no way I'm giving up this time.

Now that we've gotten past the angsty romance portion, we turn our focus to our (anti)hero. Megamind realizes he has to go to rescue Roxanne even if it means he'll die. After watching the movie, this was one of the first songs that came to my mind. He loses his defenses and goes all in, win or lose.

09. Hero by Drew Ryan Scott | I'm no Superman. I can't take your hand and fly you anywhere you wanna go.

In the end, Megamind isn't exactly Superman...err...Metro Man as far as powers go, but he's still a hero. Thanks to Roxanne, he finds his potential and his reason to win.

10. Something To Believe In by Spectacular! Cast | I used to see the world as cold, so cold. I always felt so all alone.

Mostly for the lulz, but I just couldn't resist adding a random, goofy, wannabe 80's rock ballad about the super awesome power of love. And I suppose the lyrics do sort of describe how Megamind and Roxanne both changed for the better because of each other...I mean, if you can get past the lulz factor. Plus, this is a fun, mock-dramatic way to end the mix :)
