short: Surrounded, About to Crash
mid: Metropolis, Learning to Live
long: ACOS, 8VM

any two songs listed, but both shouldn't be from the same category

This is probably the most helpful post in this thread so far. About To Crash in particular is an excellent choice.

About To Crash Reprise? If it's not, then it's all wrong.

To me, this is easy.  First, you must pick their "greatest hit," which is "Pull Me Under."

Then, you need to go with a longer song to show off that side of DT.  I would pick "Octavarium."

Through Her Eyes, Home. No better option.

Although I nearly hate Through Her Eyes I'd say my main reason to not use it is because if someone got into DT for liking that song alone they'd be disappointed that maybe seven of their songs sound anything like it whatsoever. But I still think you're cool anyway brah  :tup
I just thought it shows the calmer and simpler side well, and these two songs together give a good flow, but there are different options.

This sounds very reasonable to me as well.
