MelVik worms consumed me once again I made a playlist explaining their relationship from start to finish, w lyric analysis. <3
Starting off strong with song #1 She by Harry Styles.
A woman who's just in his head And she sleeps in his bed
She lives in daydreams with me
She's the first one that I see And I don't know why
Okay so boom we all know it was love at first sight as soon as Viktor laid eyes on Mel. Tell me I'm wrong !
Likeeeeeee I really don't play about these two. He day dreamed so often about her, legit writing fan fic about them in his head. Bro is so incredibly based ! He would think about what their first date would be like, the type of flowers he'd bring for her ect. >› MEOW.
(Edited in. Just go with it.)
BONUS SONG Dreams by BABY STORME
“I see you in my dreams and that's enough for me
And that's enough for me.”
MELS POVVVV DONT EVEN JOKE. I genuinely have no notes to add. 11/10 song and it’s Mel coded. That’s legit it.
Song #2 Creep by Radiohead
"When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
You float like a feather In a beautiful world
You're so fucking special
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body
I want you to notice When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
Ohhhh buddy don't even get me started. Thinking of the first conversation MelVik ever had, and it was all because Heimerdinger was introducing Vik as his new assistant to everyone. OUUUUUUUUU IM CRAZY NO OKAY. The lyrics "couldn't look you in the eye" is just their reality im afraid. He was soooo intimidatedby her beauty and her political status. How could someone like Mel spare a second glance at Viktor, he'd think. Yet he wants her to notice when he's not around because she floods his mind when they're not in the same room. STAMP OF APPROVAL.
Song #3 Bad Habit by Steve Lacey
"Thought you were too good for me
my dear never gave me time of day
my dear It's okay, things happen for
reasons that I think are sure, yeah
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me"
PHEWWWW OKAY AND SO YEAH. The idea that Viktor didn't think that his little crush was reciprocated... come to find out the whole time it absolutely was. Him thinking Mel never gave him the time of day when she would constantly be the one to initiate convos between them, ask him how his day is, what's he been up to as of late and even asking what his hobbies are. Viktor in his head "fuuuuuuck she hates me doesn't she?" Like dawg.... Please. PLEASE SHUT UP! Only to realize that she wanted him just the same mhm!
Song #4 On The Loose by Niall Horan
"She'll run with your mind and pull you in tight
Then trade you in for something new I know what it's like, I fell for it twice And now I'm just warning you She loves when everybody's watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you."
LEGIT INSERT THE SONIC STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT EMOTEEEEEE OHWOOOOOW !!!! This is actually insanely Mel coded it isn't even funny. Something about Mel is that she loves to dance okay! And just knowing everyone wants her but being unattainable because she only has eyes for Viktor mmm yes good soup good soup.5 stars !
Song #5 Shakespeare by Miranda Cosgrove
“Show me the place where you come from
And the places you dream of
I wanna know everything you are
But before we get that far
What do you like? Before you go”
OHHHHHHH DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ACTUALLY. YOU actually had to be there for the ICarly hype !!! Sorry to anyone who missed out but that’s on you. I honestly don’t think there was ever a song released on their soundtrack that I didn’t absolutely love. Mel wanting to know where Viktor comes from and the places he dreams about going so she can make his dreams a reality. WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN. The rest of the lyrics are def in Viktors pov. He just wants to know Mel on suuuuch a personal level he needs to know all her likes, dislikes, passions. ALL OF IT. He wants to get to know her inside n out. They spend countless of nights just staying up talking, getting to know one another like the back of their hands. SIGH. Mel asking “would you still love me if I was a worm” at 2 am.
Song #6 Cariño by the María’s
The concept of Mel knowing and being fluent in multiple languages, Spanish being one of them. No of course. This is a very dear hc to me she’s just SO SMART. Mel thinking all this about Vik when she’s an artist …. YESSSSSS ! “You are a work of art” she thinks to herself as she has Viktor pose for a painting for the third time. ENUFF. BRUUUUUH.
Song #7 Nonsense by Sabrina Carpenter
“I'm talkin' all around the clock I'm talkin' hope nobody knocks
I'm talkin' opposite of soft
I'm talkin' wild, wild thoughts You gotta keep up with me I got some young energy I caught the
How do you do this to me?”
AND SO YES. She is talking all around the clock! Honestly bless the arcane fandom for writing some of the best MV smut I’ll ever read in my life. Thinking about the one where it was WLW and Viktor gave Mel the strapping of a life time. So so blessed. Honorable mention of the lyrics that say “here’s a little song I wrote, it’s about you and me.”
Viktor and Mel write poems about each other 1000000% so yeah. YEAH. Both can relate.
Song #8 Good Graces by Sabrina Carpenter
“Want you every second, don't need other guys You do somethin' sus, kiss my cute ass bye
Boy, it's not that complicated You should stay in my good graces Or I'll switch it up like that so fast
'Cause no one's more amazin' (Amazin')
At turnin' lovin' into hatred”
Another one thank you! Sabrina just has such good songs like idk. Okay so I can definitely see Mel getting a bit frustrated in the beginning of their relationship before they made anything official. Again, she was the one to put in more efforts when it came to the initiating of almost everything really. She came up with most of the date ideas, she initiated their first kiss, first time ect ect. So in her head, Viktor isn’t really carrying his weight. He also isn’t good at showing affection in their early days so she’s like okay is this a fwb situation wtf is going on here. Realistically, it’s silly for her to even think that cause whoooo would be casual about a relationship w Mel Medarda. She forgets that she’s literally HER !
Song #9 Feels like love by tanarelle
“But it's not a crime to let me know you miss me
You know the places I could take you, right?
I know the ways that I could make you mine again
I didn't know I would fold, but it feels that way now
Lost in your words on the phone, and it feels like home now.”
FELLASSSSSSSSS OKAAAAAAY and if you don’t already have Tanerelle in your rotation what exactly are you doing w your life? Her songs are tooooooooo good please tune in. ASAP!
Once again Viktor and his insane ness and never letting Mel knows that he misses her. It’s literally just her assuming the worst after their hang outs cause he’s never the one to be like “okay so when’s the next time I’m going to get to see you, outside of work?” It’s always her imitating said hang outs and it drives her crazy !!!! I just know they had a v serious convo about this and Viktor got whipped into shape because she was nooooot tolerating that shit. Her making a PowerPoint of her expectations, dos and don’ts in a relationship and non negotiables. Yup! It’s strict around here!
“Nasty habits take a hold when you not here
Ain't a home when you not here
Hard to grow when you not here, I'm sayin'
I can't lose when I'm with you
How can I snooze and miss the moment?
Nobody do body like you do.”
SZA TIME YES SIIIIIIIIR !!!!!!!!! Thinking about MelVik on lazy Sunday mornings… mhmmm Mel being the first one to wake up ofc, and not wanting to wake Vik cause he just looks so peaceful sleeping. AHHHH. Mel probably used to travel a lot in the beginning of when they first started ~seeing each other~ and I just know they both missed eachother like crazy. Yes !
Song #11 Golden by Harry Styles
“I know that you're scared
I can feel you take control
I can feel you take control
Of who I am and all I've ever known
Loving you's the antidote.”
NOOOOOOOOOO LISTEN I AM CRAZY ! The first two lines, they’re in Mels pov fs. I think her openness and vulnerability scares Viktor at first. He’s just like how can she trust me with all that she is, all her feelings, her thoughts ect meanwhile when she asks him a question it’s like pulling teeth.
Mel: what’s your favorite color babe?
Like dude please. PLEASE !
Lines 3-8 are in Viktors POV. ESCUCHAME BIEN! He doesn’t want to be alone, and he trusts Mel to take control when necessary. He finds comfort in her leading and trusts her more than anyone. Knowing that he feels that her love is the antidote when he’s having a difficult time helps me sleep at night. Yes ! Anything is possible to get through with the power of LOVE!
Song #12 Melting by Kali Uchis
“You are my church, you are my place of worship
Take one look at you, you're heaven's incarnate”
MEL IN VIKS POV MEL IN VIKS POV NO LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. Mel’s beauty is unmatched and everyone knows it. Imagine you’re Viktor and you bagged the BADDEST of piltover like OUUUUUUUU D O N T. I KNOW that man counts his blessings every single night before bed and Mel is at the top of the list like she’s legit an angel. WOW ! She’s truly an angel I just know he hears the trumpets whenever she comes into his line of sight! CMON!
Song #13 Matilda by Harry styles
You can throw a party full of everyone you know And not invite your family, 'cause they never showed you love You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up, mh
Matilda, you talk of the pain like it's all alright
But I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside
You showed me a power that is strong enough to bring sun to the darkest days
It's none of my business, but it's just been on my mind”
OHHHH AND WE ALL KNOW ABOUT MELS MOTHER ISSUES. Seeing as she’s known to have nightmares/ night terrors, I think that Viktor tried his best to calm her down when she’d wake up crying and or shaking. Rubbing her back and shoulders, whispering to her and reassuring her that she’s okay because he’s there. 🥹 she sleeps better when he’s around, gets her full 8 hours and hardly ever gets nightmares if she falls asleep in Viks arms mhm! She feels so safe around him.
Song #14 Boys Like You by Tanerélle
“I hear 'em whisper I should leave
They ain't been in my position.”
Add this song to your playlists IMMEDIATELY! This song is too good you absolutely have to listen it from start to finish. Anyways! I feel like once the word got out that MelVik were seeing each other alot of ppl from the council were def telling her to watch out, and to not get too comfortable or attached to Viktor. Telling her that she deserves someone better, someone with more money, ‘better looks, ect ect. Telling her that she shouldn’t trust him cause he’s from the under city and trying to convince her that he only sees their love as transactional, something that he only sees as what can he do for him and his place in politics. OUUU JUST EVIL BITTER B WORDS I SWEAR !
Song #15 work song by hozier
“When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
INSANE I TELL YOU NO LIKE ACTUALLY… and no grave can hold that man down when it comes to HIS WOMEN OKAAAAY ! Mmmmm hozier x melvik…. SCREAMS SO LOUD I BREAK THE SOUND BARRIER.
Song #16 Too Sweet by Hozier
“l aim true, and the ground's where I go
I work late where I'm free from the phone
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever, babe?
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
The rest of you like you're the TSA
I wish I could go along, babe don’t get me wrong.”
Mel and Viktor constantly working over time and barely having time for their relationship towards the middle of it all. Things get a bit rocky but they both reassure each other that they can work through this (dundundun…..) and for a while things were working in their favor !!!
Sing #17 We belong together - Ritchie Valens
“I swear by everything I own
You'll always, always be mine
You're mine, and we belong together”
Short n sweet and straight to the point !!! <3
Song #18 cupids chokehold by gym class heroes
“And when I start to build my future, she's the main component
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love, or whatever you call it
But everywhere I go, I keep her picture in my wallet, like, here”
Legit rolling and twirling around like a crazy person rn. The idea of Viktor always having Mel at the forefront of his mind when he’s thinking about his future. How she’ll perfectly in it cause he’ll make sure he always involves her in all big and small decisions. They def wanted to move in together once upon a time ! WEOW ! Also the concept of him keeping a photo of her in his wallet? Guys I’m crazy. A Polaroid of her in her night gown with her hair up, and it’s a candid photo. She’s not looking at the camera but still is effortlessly beautiful ofc . UGH. They make me sick.
Song #19 Paper Houses by Niall Horan
“And our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
I don't wanna lose your touch
I don't wanna hurt this much
I could feel you slippin' away
Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Picture it picture it. Mel post Oculorum, magic, ‘til we break and shatter worlds apart.’ Imagine Mel visiting Viktor in the commune …. The conversation that they must’ve had. She realizes that they both are just so different now.
Song #20 no one notice by the Marías
“Come on, don't leave me, it can't be that easy, babe
If you believe me, I guess I'Il get on a plane
Fly to your city excited to see your face
Hold me, console me, and then 'Ieave without a trace”
AND SO BOOM ! ANGST TIME. No because seeing Vik in the hex goop must’ve been hard on Mel too but nobody ever talks about THAAAAAT. Seeing him under the rubble practically lifeless… NO I mustn’t think about that too much but yeah ! AND people wonder why she was okay w Jayce just…. Attempting to keep Viktor alive like uh perhaps she wanted Viktor alive too hello lmao. That reason would be because …..??? SHE LOVES HIM 🫡 !!! Even if they’re broken up at this point in the plot.
Song #21 City is a Graveyard by Baby Storme
graveyard, I'm haunted by your love.
But I still wanna rule the world
That we're living but we're not, mmm
And I got this feeling when you'd hold my hand
And I had a feeling that it was the end.”
A BABY STORME SONG YES SIR ! Who else thinks that Viktor had a dream that foreshadowed his fate …. The lyrics “we’re living but we’re not.” JUMP SCARE. Not only did he know that their relationship would ultimately come to an end but he knew that he’d be dead, or not entirely living some way somehow ! CRAZY ! Listen to this song pls n thank you
Song #22 nobody gets me by Sza
“Hurry now, baby, stick it in
'Fore the memories get to kickin' in
I don't wanna lose what's left of you
How am I supposed to tell ya?
I don't wanna see you with anyone but me
How am I supposed to let you go?
Only like myself when I'm with you
Goodbye sex is a must I fear…. It def goes without saying that lyric lines 4-10 are in both their povs. They both believe that they’re better people because of one another, and who’s to say that they’re wrong ! The morning after Mel was actually heart broken to wake up to an empty bed. EVIL TWINK VIKTOR YOU WILL PAY. YOU AND THAT DAMN BOB OF YOURS !
Song #23 Your best American Girl by Mitski
“You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear its song from the morning birds
Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night, I'II be singing to the birds
Don't wait for me, I can't come
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me”
THERE ARE GENUINELY TWO WOLVES INSIDE ME ! This song in both their povs ? OH ! No because mixed Viktor …. Let’s talk about it. He’s Persian and white I don’t make the rules I’m so sorry it legit just makes sense likeeeeee don’t argue w me. I was there in the writers room. Knowing he’d never get Ambessas blessing because he doesn’t even meet half her standards / requirements for the type of man Mel is “destined” to be with. Head in hands …. In a perfect world where Viktors parents are both still alive, I think they’d have their doubts about Mel as well, because they think all political figures are corrupt and evil. Why would they think otherwise when they live in the under-city with toxic air, poor quality food, unfair justice system ect ect. All while nobody in power does anything to better the future for the people of Zaun mind you! So yeah. Yes thank you.
Song #24 Gilded Lily by Cults
“Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
I know I'll take you with me”
Once again short and sweet and straight to the point. They both know that no matter what their fate has in store for them they’ll always find their way back to each other! romance is not dead don’t believe what the haters say.
Song #25 aunque ahora Estes con el by Calibre50
“Yo te amaré, aunque no estés a mi lado
Aunque digas que has cambiado
Y que te tengo que olvidar
OOOOOUUUUUUU I JUST KNOW VIKTOR CAME BACK TO MEL WITH HAT IN HANDS LIKE IT WAS SO SERIOUS !!! When he starts noticing that Mel and Jayce started having a thing I know it got wicked !!! Viktor hearing Jayce mention Mel’s name ONCE, probably just Jayce being like oh she’s really beautiful isn’t she do you think she’s seeing and Viktor telling him to stfu cause he’s not being professional LMAO noooo of course.
Song #26 Obsessed by Olivia Rodrigo
“is s(he) friends with your friends? is s(he) good in bed?
do you think about her (him)? no, i'm fine, it doesn't matter, tell me
is s(he) easy-going? never controlling?
well-traveled? well-read? oh god, s(he) makes me so upset
i'm so obsessed with your ex”
The way this applies to both their POVs cause as much as I geek over MelVik, I do believe SkyVik had something !!! Short lived but idk I felt the chemistry between them. They def dated for a bit in my head so it’s the truth, yes.
Song #27 kiss it better by Rihanna
“What are you willing to do?
Oh, tell me what you're willing to do
Oh, what are you willing to do?
Oh, tell me what you're willing to do
Been waiting on that sunshine.”
Mel asking Vik what is he willing to do to get her back …… she made him work for it. Why yes !
Song #28 The Night We Met - Lord Huron
“I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears”
THRASHES AROUUUUUNDDDDDD OOOOOOOO this is one of my favorite songs ever and just making the connections between this song and one of my top ships ever is just soooo chefs kiss ! When Vik was leading the cult Mel thought she lost him for good, and that would be the permanent end to their relationship. She started seeing him in her dreams and as Chappell said “I see your shadow even when the lights off.” That was def her reality homegirl was going THROUGH it. At this point Mel and Jayce are broken up, but yeah. Haunted by the ghost of him she was, and vice versa Vik was def hallucinating her and imagined her coming into the commune to join him, to be on his side .. OOOOOF. Next page please !
Song #29 in my room by Julia Wold
“Not asking for much, man, thought maybe you'd call me
I'd slit my own throat just to see if you'd mourn me, yeah
I want your things in my room, I miss you all of the time
I stalk myself on the internet just to see what you'll find.
You make it look so easy, leaving everything behind.”
Head in hands one again. I can picture Mel not getting rid of Viktors stuff and just leaving his things at her place, ie his tooth brush, hair brush, clothes, slippers ect like bro practically lived with her at one point. UGHHHHHH I actually can’t finish this thought I get emotional but yes. Mel will sometimes convince herself that she was never important to Viktor, or not nearly as important to him as he was to her. She spirals about it.
Song #30 This town by Niall Horan
“And I know that it's wrong
'Cause if the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you.”
ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO MELVIK CORRECT YES SIIIIIIR. Everything does come back to Mel actually so what now. Def recommend listening to this song from start to finish it’s too good. The lyrics “I saw that you moved on w someone new.” In both their povs when MelSky and MelJay were actively dating. RELEASE ME !
Song #31 Crazy in Love (Remix) by Beyoncé
“I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave, I'm beggin' you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feelin' and my pride is the one to blame
Just how your love could do what no one else can.”
BEYONCÉ MENTION DONT EVEN JOKE LAAAAAAD. We all chanted make up s3x in unison !
Song #32 Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars
“Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise
'Cause you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
Once again… short n straight to the point. Amen.
Song #33 party 4 u by Charli xcx
“I only threw this party for you
Only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I was hopin' you would come through
I was hopin' you would come through, it's true.”
Mel throwing a Gala, specifically one that she knew would catch Viktors attention. So much so that he would just haaaaaave to make an appearance. AND SO BOOM THEY DEBUT AS A COUPLE TO THE PUBLIC EYE PT TWO YEEEEEEEP.
Song #34 Nothing Without You by Tanerélle
“I wish you'd come and find me
Won't you come and find me?
'Cause I'm down when you're far away, yeah
When you're gone, l don't sleep for days, yeah
I've been stuck in the darkest age, yeah
Can't you see what I'm tryna say?
I don't wanna live without you
I don't feel at home without you
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I've been running away from the sun
A girl obsessed when it's all said and done
'Cause they can't tell me that you're not the
So baby, come and find me
You need to come and find me
'Cause I'm nothing without you
I've been chasing the moon
I've been chasing the moon
I've been chasing the moon and the stars
'Cause I've been trying to be
I am trying to be trying to be where you are.”
Another song by the queen ….. yes goodness. This would conclude my melvik playlist + lyric analysis. So let’s talk about it! First paragraph is Mel’s pov, next paragraph is Viktors, the rest of the lyrics are their mutual pov and so yes ! She’d frequent at all their secret spots in hopes he would come and find her when he was losing his mind but alas !! He did not. They def had little hide out spots….. yes. Yes please listen to and enjoy the song from start to finish.
Hopefully I was able to introduce yall to new music !
Going to add my favorite quotes from both the game and the show between melvik below, and some personal hcs.
“The arcane stirs within you.” Mr steal your girl himself oooooh wow !
“You claim to desire peace but it seems our definitions may differ”
“And here I thought you were more than another man with a god complex”
“The arcane seems to have manifested quite differently within you Mel.”
“Your path promised greatness Mel, and unfortunate conclusion.”
“Mel, as one embraced by the arcane, you know only true value of hextech.”
1. Mel introduced Viktor to her skin care and he never looked back.
2. Their first date was Viktors choice… he took his lady to get dinner then clubbing in the under city.!
3. They def talked about starting a family together but both feared they wouldn’t be good parents.
4. They def linked up when Viktor was running the cult to f*ck idk.. perhaps once or twice or thrice.
5. Mel has so many sketches of Viktor in her personal journals/ art journals. She is such a lover girl.
Someone on TikTok said “thinking about Mels gold on her body being bright and symmetrical because she was born with the arcane within her while Viktors is dull and twisted because the arcane was forced upon him.” And I do think about that often!
And scene. Curtains!. If you read this far, thank you! Making playlists and basically creating fanfics in my head is a full time job.
