"Mess It All Up" is an orchestral piece on the Season 2 soundtrack. This slow, dolorous theme initially highlights various things that have gone wrong in Hurley's past, but eventually plays over some of his happier emotional scenes as well.

Main appearance[]

Learning that Hurley plans to destroy the Swan's food, Rose demands an explanation. Hurley says he fears the survivors will resent him for his choices. In a flashback, we see how Johnny resented Hurley's newfound wealth when he won the lottery.
