The arcana characters as songs headnacon!
Okay, so i was planning it for some time! Let's tart with the one I'm SURE about:
1. Outrunning Karma-Alec Benjamin
"Outrunning karma, that boy
He's such a charmer, all the
Bugs and their larva follow
For this part it's the "bugs and their larva follow him to Colorado" for Lucio, it's about the plague beetles that follows him to Vesuvia
"Ten-dozen hearts in a bag
Their bodies lyin', he'll drag
The "Ten-dozen hearts in a bag"is like the hearts Lucio needed to collect for the Courtiers.
"He's never gonna make it, all the
Poor people he's forsaken, karma
Is always gonna chase him for his lies"
This part is tricky, but for me it's more about how Jæger and Morga follow him everywhere he goes, to chase him down for murder of his father. It CAN be about how plague follows him, but the Morga part just fots a little bit better for me.
"It's just a game of waiting from the
Church steeple down to Satan karma
There's really no escape until he dies"
This part with Satan, is more like with the Devil how he made a deal with him, which ended with him "dying" in the end.
"And he'll brace for battle in the night
He'll fight because he knows he cannot hide"
Here, it's about how in his route he was fighting his fate, and the fact that he lied the whole time
Also overall the vibe if the song fits him. It literally feels like it was made for him (it was not, but still, fits pretty well)
That's all for the Outrunning Karma
2. You'll be back- sang by Jonathan Groff from Hamilton the Musical
Do I really need to say anything? Not only the lyrics HIT hard, but the voice too. Like????? Omg, so perfect. It sounds just like he's singing, here have some lyrics:
The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay
In your tea, which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Remember, we made an arrangement when you went away
Now, you're making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man
You'll be back, soon, you'll see
You'll remember you belong to me
You'll be back, time will tell
You'll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!
You say our love is draining, and you can't go on
You'll be the one complainin' when I am gone
And no, don't change the subject
'Cause you're my favorite subject
My sweet, submissive subject
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever"
Also, the way he says "everybody" made me realise i have issues.
Okay... so hear me out, this song's not only GOOD but it fits Nadia so well and i just... omg I'm so gay for her.
"Cleopatra was a queen like me
Just like me, yeah, just like me
Straight or gay or in between"
This part's just funny, okay, but it ACCIDENTALLY fits the fact that's Nadia's bisexual-
Okay so... LUCIO. Like- he made deals without telling her and shit, and later on just betrayed her trust so... yeah
"There was no intervention
I was lost, falling out with myself
I was so filled with tension
Getting mad was my cry for help"
This part just... hurts. It's about how Nadia had so much things on her shoulders after being left alone as a Countness, and the whole stress she was left with :(
"Now I'm back with a vengeance
I found my inner voice again
And it speaks to my soul loud and clear"
This is about how Nadia found us, the Mc and started being peaceful again, you know, headaches stopping, and being loved again, rulling freely again.
"Part Goddess, part temptress"
So... umm 👀 Nadia's a totall Goddess okay-
2. Wildest Dreams- Taylor Swift
So... this one hurts a little bit, it's mostly about her relationship with Lucio, and how it all went to waste. It's canon that she DID love him at the beggining, and that's sad... I'm sad :((
"He said, "Let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city, away from the crowds
I thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down"
Nothing lasts forever. Well... :((
"He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins"
The description? 100% Lucio.
"You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Someday when you leave me
You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Someday when you leave me
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Even if it's just pretend"
(I'm so sorry he's blue, I used red on Lucio 😭)
1. Goner- Twenty One Pilots
Hehe, so... sad? Maybe... A little bit. Yes... Alot
"I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
This one's confusing, but it's about how Jules a goner, for our love, and how he'll do anything for us to remember the times when you were together before your death.
"Though I'm weak and beaten down
I'll slip away into the sound
The ghost of you is close to me
I'm inside out, you're underneath"
This is how because of guilt, and dedication to us Julian would do anything, even is he's beaten down, he'll remember that he need's to protect the apprentice.
"I need your help to take him out"
Okay so... Lucio. Like to take Lucio out, maybe. That just kinda fit there idk why lol.
I'm so sad. It's how he tried to survive being hanged just to help Vesuvia, and even If he didn't say anything he wanted for us to be there for him, help him or simply... stay.
Uhhh. Kinky as fuck, that's why it's here. Sorry, for real now- the 505 may represent the time when we were alive for the first time. He would do anything to go back to the way it was, not ot feel so guilty.
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs
When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect?
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start"
But then... there's this part. And I'm literally crying now.
"But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon"
Okay. GOD. It the lyrics fit so GOOD. Like I was listening to this song all the time when I was doing his route. So... perfect... and sad. Hehe, as always. Also Marina's underrated, a literall QUEEN, droping bop's after bop's.
"Before I met you, I pushed them all away
Soon as I kissed you, I wanted you to stay"
This one's pretty obvious. It's about how Muriel was distancing himself from everyone, untill YOU came. He started trusting you, cause you trusted him.
"What I like about you is you know who you are
What you like about me is I know what I'm not"
The "I know what I'm not" is kinda tricky. It's just about Muriel not being sure who is he now? Is it Scourge of the South? Or just Muriel? But for you? Your past didn' matter cause you don't remember it, you were just... you.
"I love the way we worked so hard
This is about how at the end of his route, you bith did so much together, you both came so far, you changed him, and he's thankful.
"When I'm afraid, when the world's gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar"
This one's about how we were always there to make him feel better, protect him from himself.
"You never judge me for any of my fears
Never turn your back, always keep my body near"
Okay I want to cry. This also fits so PERFECTLY, that is fucking hurts
Make it through the storm
This represents how you did everything, and came so far together, nothing is impossible for you two <3
2. Lend me your voice English ver- Belle
Okay but this is perfect. Like sooo much. Also Belle was so beutifull one of my fav films, you need to watch it, the vocals, story, everything! In this ong every single lyric fits Muriel so I'll just talk about the saddest ones hehe.
"It’s easy to push me away from you
Easy to say you want be left on your own"
This part's about at the beggining of Muriel's route he was so closed off and distant pushing everyone away. But still, Mc stayed.
"Anger kept fear and the sadness you feel
Under the surface for so long
Locked that room, you keep it inside "
This is about how Muriel was guilty of his emotions so he wanted to just lock them away.
"Words you try so hard to forget, they’ll break through the silence"
The past he's trying to bury, but at the same time, he want's to feel what he did.
"Let me see the past you regret deep down below
This one's is second the saddest quote in the song I think. This is about how we're trying to reach out and comfort Muriel and for him not to be so shy about his past.
"It’s not so hard living all by yourself
It isn’t hard, yes I know that’s what you’ll say
It’s what you have told yourself over and
This just hits hard. Muriel was always trying ti shut out his emotions, to be alone cause he was svared of hurting anyone. But he did not realise that he was hurting himself.
"But you know, I just want you as you are
Just the you that I see right before me"
This one's about how we are always trying to show Muriel that his past doesen't define who he is now.
"Let me feel the beat of your heart, the secret you bury
Anything you want to say, I’ll be right here, I’ll listen so tell me
Let me come and sit by the fire, just let me come close to your heart"
More coming in the future...
