Analysis of the song "All that Matters" PT2. Character Psychology Analysis : YANG XIAO LONG
"All that Matters" can never fail to make me cry 😔😢😭 I feel Yang's agony like it's my own.... Feel every emotion she's felt during those times she was in the dark, when she didn't know Blake's side of the story. It's palpable
"I feel like I'm running out of energy
While you just take everything in stride
The way I feel to you it's no big deal"
To feel this way about someone you really love and care for is just so excruciating. And Yang had to suffer this pain. SHE IS JUST SO FUCKING VULNERABLE, BUT SHE HAS THE INNATE AND EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY TO HIDE IT ALL BEHIND A DIGNIFIED BEHAVIOUR.
"Sad but it's true
That the one thing I can count on
Is that I can't count on you"
She was always there for Blake, there is nothing she wouldn't do for Blake....but Blake failed to reciprocate that, thus leading Yang to not trust her so easily. Blake wasn't there when Yang needed her the most. Why do you think Yang got mad when Blake said "I'll protect you" in the barn in V6? For this very reason. Blake can't just come back in Yang's life like nothing happened (or so it seems to Yang given the bridge of the song)
Yang had to fight her own battle, with the demons in her head that screamed deprecating and disparaging words at her. She had to unbreak herself, bring herself back from the dead. ALL BY HEARSELF (and with Tai's help). Blake wasn't there for her, and Yang surely doesn't need Blake's "protecting" now, after she stood back up and is stronger and smarter than ever before
But you know why Yang didn't say any of this? Yes, she resented Blake. Yes, Blake hurt her, a lot. But she LOVES Blake too much to hurt her with these words. Cause deep down she knew, she FELT, that Blake didn't do it intentionally, even though she THOUGHT otherwise.
This isn't a Blake hate post, I'm just trying to explain Yang's psychology, a character psychological analysis, if you will.
