Track 1: Zedd - "Find You" Featuring Matthew Koma & Miriam Bryant
Warning! Spoiler alert! The information contained in this article will give away important information from the book, so I recommend not reading it until you've read it (or watched the movie!).
"Starts with One" by Shiny Toy GunsThe song "Starts with One" is a song about having your actions be guided by your courage. According to Roth, she feels like this song shows the good aspect of Dauntless (Beatrice's chosen faction). I definitely feel that the beat and tune of the song are perfect to represent Dauntless. The lyrics below from the Shiny Toy Guns are similar to the Dauntless believing that cowardice can lead to war:
Let's show them the only way. Let's show them our hearts. Each of the featured songs are available on Amazon (see right). |

Chasm by FlyleafVeronica Roth says that the song "Chasm" by Flyleaf gets her in touch with the bad aspects of the Dauntless faction. If you've read the book, you know that the Chasm is one of the most dangerous places inside of the Dauntless facility as many have fallen to their death in the tumultuous water. The lyrics below show how this faction is crazy, wanting to push limits and other parts of the song warn others to stay away:
The chasm isn't fixed yet. Take this water, drinking ever deeper. |

"Come Alive" by the Foo FightersVeronica picked the song "Come Alive" by the Foo Fighters to represent Four's love for Tris. It shows that he was just going through the motions of life with no passion, simply doing his work for the faction. When Tris showed up and they fell in love, he knew he'd do anything to protect her, his life had new meaning:
I lay there in the dark when I closed my eyes. You saved me the day you came alive. Watch the YouTube video below to listen to the song. |

"Again" by FlyleafIf any song would fit how Tris feels about Four, it would be the song "Again" by Flyleaf. It shows how Four would do anything to protect Tris, even if it hurt himself, but she wants him to know that she can protect herself and help protect him as well. It also shows the way that Four wants to right every wrong:
I love the way that your heart breaks with every injustice and deadly fate. |

"Help I'm Alive" by MetricMetric's song "Help I'm Alive" is part of the Divergent soundtrack that was created because it perfectly represents what Beatrice must have been thinking during initiation. She was scared to death of what was going to happen. Being the smallest of the initiation group, she had a lot to prove.
I tremble. They're going to eat me alive. Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer? |
