I always feel like Silco's theme in the Arcane OST sums up everything there is to know about this character.

It builds so slowly and patiently, with haunting, almost siren-like refrains in the background, but also the unnerving sense of something prowling unseen in the depths. Then comes the eerily strobelike sound effect at the midway point that has strains similar to the Jaws theme blended in, to build up to something slowly but implacably closing in. In between we get these lovely sonar pings, reminiscent of deepsea signals.

And by the end, it goes FULL ON Jaws with a dash of submarine alarm signals, Claxton style, like a vessel capsizing in the maw of something monstrous.

Honestly I have so many questions to ask the Arcane music and sound department about the choices they made for each character leitmotif. This is one of my fave underappreciated soundtracks by far<3

I really need season 2 of Blue Eye Samurai to get the full arcane treatment, not only so that it gets all the recognition and budget it deserves, but also so that we can get a BES S02 soundtrack with Mitski, Florence Welch, and Ethel Cain on it.

This is probably a reach (and I'll bet someone's already said something about it before), but I think about this every time I hear this song.

So: some over-analysis on 'Our Love' in Arcane.

(long post, spoilers abound)

Like most of the soundtracks in the series, this song serves as a narrative vehicle. It bookends the beginning of the events that act as the catalyst for Episode 3—Powder and Vi's separation, Silco and Vander's reunion, and the foreshadowing of Vander's death—while describing, through two narrators, a type of love that cannot be broken.

At first glance, one would assume the song is serving as a metaphor for Powder and Vi. The scene in the bar opens with this shot of a record displaying two girls/sisters. This hints that the song is a allegory to their relationship, and how nothing can change the bond that they share—no matter the hardships that will come their way.

In the same vein, however, it also serves as our introduction to Vander's connection to Silco. The scene lays the groundwork for the confrontation in the streets that will continue into Episode 3, and transitions into the closing credits right before Silco's monologue.

While the song plays, the visuals cut between Powder, Vander, Vi, and Grayson's entourage—the beginning stages of Vander's arrest, and the interception we know will come from Marcus, Deckard, and Silco. Later on, that scene eventually ends on Silco's reveal to Vander (with the implication that, like Benzo, Vander won't walk away from this alive).

What I find interesting is that while the lyrics provide a dissonant tone to the images we see on screen—a warm, soulful and loving tune, while enforcers comb the streets for a body to blame—they're also eerily predictive of what we see in the series, down the line.

Not only does this feel intentional, perhaps, on the show writers' part ('Dirty Little Animals' both follows and tells of a new Zaun beneath Silco's rule; 'Dynasties and Dystopia' opens with Ekko on a throne, laying out his and their people's climb against a higher order; 'What Could Have Been' matches nearly shot-for-lyric with the season's closing scene)—but it's cleverly juxtaposed: twisted into a cruel irony.

'OL' doesn't feel strictly about sisters and Powder's/Jinx's relationship to Vi—but, rather, as something more nuanced.

I read it as less about romantic or familial devotion, and more about the inherent complexity (and potential for destruction) in unconditional love: that the most intense, genuine, and protective forms of love can also be born out of the most primordial fears of loss, abandonment and betrayal; that love everlasting and bottomless as the ocean can also be instinctive, irrational, and violent.

The main thing here is that we don't see the same visual parallels with Powder and Vi, as the series progresses. Minus the design of the record and the opening shots of the scene, their narratives essentially unravel on their own terms (with 'WCHB' really cementing their final fray, by the end).

But dig into the shots of Silco and Vander throughout the series, and we get several images that the lyrics match almost explicitly to.

Our love is a bubblin' fountain That flows into a sea Deeper than any ocean For eternity

(Where do we see a fountain in the show? Where do we see a tangible ocean?)

(Hmm?)

What's interesting to me is that we see Jinx in some of these—which makes a subtle suggestion that both her and Silco are, in themselves, connected through these experiences, whether covertly or by coincidence—but we never see Vi.

Which leads me to wonder: whose perspective is being shown through the song? The savior ("lover")—or the betrayed?

For Silco, these images are all symbolic of returning to something else—a memory, place, personhood.

In Episode 3's monologue, he's returning to a different lens of that experience—back to the "peace" he felt, the sensation of the water holding him when he was drowning. At the river with Jinx, he is also returning to that place: literally washing himself down, in both a ritualistic and arguably spiritual sense, to re-experience that sensation. And at the fountain, he's returned to Vander's image—again, back to a body of water—and speaks to him.

All of which are connected to his betrayal.

Later on in the song, we get this double-edged lyric:

While the world turns around He holds me down, for sure

There's an implication here that the other person in the song is grounding the narrator: helping to keep them from falling off the earth while it turns—or, more literally, forcing them to stay down.

(And yeah, it's a stretch, shh I know—but where have we also seen that imagery before?)

(And again, with the parallels to Jinx—when her world is tipping, when she's remembering Vi, when she loses her confidence in being able to work on the gemstone, Silco brings her to the water. To the place of his own trauma, where he took a harrowing experience and reframed it. And—in a very twisted, but tender way—he lowers her into the water, and holds her down too, to pass on the same lesson.

These two. *drags hands down face*)

Anyway.

If we keep following the thread of Silco and Vander here, 'OL's chorus serves as a callback to the fountain and the imagery around the water; the point of Silco's death and rebirth—and point of no return—at the hands of someone he trusted, envied, loved.

Later on, the song also makes explicit references to rain, which suggests weathering through a difficult period: a setting that Episode 3 is building up to, right from the beginning.

And after all The rain will fall on us too

Not only does that message of hardship and perseverance feel closely aligned, in Silco's case—but it's also the reason Powder's first meeting with him tips the way it does. Because they both see the hardship in each other; see themselves in each other. Someone who has equally been betrayed.

(And where does that point of connection happen?)

(Singin' in the rain~)

That moment is visceral, and it lends itself to its own devotion. With Vander and Vi gone, these two are left to make an active decision on whether or not they'll choose each other, now.

And they do.

But I'll keep movin' on Proud and strong with you

Later on, Silco verbalizes this commitment—You're my daughter; I'll never forsake you. But it's clear, even from that shot of them before the fire, before Vander's own corpse, that that devotion (and unconditionality, despite both of their faults) was a path he was already turning himself to: something along the lines of, I will not betray you like he betrayed me.

(Ergo: We will not be what they were.)

(We know how that ends, unfortunately.)

The abridged version of what I think I'm trying to get at is: the placement of this song is genius.

It sets us up to assume Powder and Vi will never be torn apart (as Vi herself tries to reaffirm to Jinx, by the end), since their love is one that will last evermore—but, in reality, they are torn apart; their love is conditional, and the fallout of it, perhaps, is intentional—a mirror to a story that has yet to be told.

Because at the end of the day, Powder/Jinx and Vi are ultimately a reflection of Silco and Vander's own mistakes, hardships, and heartache—and proof that even after betrayal, even after a vendetta enacted and finished, there is still a longing to have something of what was: still a love there, eternally, despite it all.

You’re a snake, I can see it in your face.

VENGEANCE FOR RIZE AND KURONA! SHE’S AWESOME! vote for Hakatori. that’s a link to the poll and one of the best bits of propaganda that’s been written for her yet.

#I typically listen to classical music or other relaxing songs while I draw so the Arcane soundtrack was certainly a change of pace #however #it was FUN.#Also I don't usually put this much detail in eyes #but I think for this piece it was necessary to make it pop.#tokyo ghoul #tg sexywoman poll #hakatori #tg:re #tomoe yumitsu #yumitsu tomoe #my art #tokyo ghoul fanart

ekko lost everyone he loved overnight – while the only person left turned her back on him. he then had to witness the undercity that he loved become even worse as silco took over and corruption increased.

and instead of letting resentment sit and fester, he turned it into the strength needed to fight back and build a community for others who've been wronged like him.

ekko didn't let the past consume him the way it did jinx (even though they suffered very similar traumas). instead, he grew resilient despite of it, and built a close-knit community of friends.

he still mourns the losses of his past, but he actively works for a better future.

#ekko #arcane #league of legends #analysis #hungry posts #i just love him sm im abt to start bawling hes everything #also misfit toys is my favorite song on the soundtrack bc i feel like it rly encapsulates ekko's feelings on his own situation

Yknow I have no idea what possessed the people working on Arcane to drop a banger of a 40s jukebox-style duet in the second episode of a show that has an otherwise edgy rock/rap soundtrack but I sure do love them for it

Congrats again!! You deserve every single one! 💜💜💜

I would love if you would make a Fox moodboard for me and I'm obsessed with this song lately: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/2k2RPHMeyercU9PauiKNbU?si=8b11b5802b0c4191

Just imagining Fox on a mission in underworld Coruscant.

Thank you and lot's of love! 🥰
