The best thing about the show that I liked are the details, references, and parallels and overall the fact they make the story uncomfortably emotional by giving a happy ending in an alternate universe but then you realise it's not in the original plot and ekko sitting alone at the same spot where they kissed in the alternative universe is depressing. It's like they knew how to mentally traumatize their audience
@@MAGGNOT_ E7 was as perfect of an episode I've ever seen. Ekko's character arc is one that I get teary-eyed thinking about. I wish we got to see him and Heimerdinger discuss how impossible his predicament was. In an arc all about forgiveness, could Ekko forgive himself if he decided to stay in his Utopia? To live the perfect life and abandon everything he ever knew?
@@amazingfool1653 Can't really blame the game itself for that. It's an extremely competitive game which breeds toxicity. I've played the game for so many years since it came out, quit like 5-6 years ago though and I avoid it because it brings out the worst in me. The game itself is good, but more so the lore and world they've slowly built over the years has just some insanely good potential. The show(s) and upcoming mmo can make this world into something incredible.
@@DROWN- in fact i already know two therapist that reacted and broked down the characters for the show, all praising how the show takles the mental health content
@@donovanmartin7946 I literally havent started any new shows since I last watched Arcane cus I just knw any show tht I start now will nvr be as good as Arcane.
it sure apply to Viktor but i really think it connects even better to Vander/Warwick, certais parts can really be applied to viktor, but the whole thing is very more consistent with vander/warwick POV
It is more on Viktor then Jayce. Jayce doesn't really cross the line except when he blasted Viktor and refuses to destroy Hextech at the very beginning. Viktor on the other hand have done a lot of things that cross the line. "Healing people", "Attempting to healing Vander", and then he went with Singed and Ambessa which when he way beyond the line. He also letting go a person that he actually love besides Jayce which is Sky. Sky even says that Viktor won't miss talking to her cause she doesn't matter to him. This song really sums up who Viktor really is and what he actually have done.
In a video that played before the initial premiere, Tyler gave some insight as to what ‘The Line’ is about. To summarize: He first began by speaking on how he could never really write about something that he himself doesn’t have a connection to. (When he wrote Heathens for suicide squad he also made it personal) He was reached out to by an Arcane adjacent group who wanted to know if he would create a song for it. At the time, coincidentally, he had just lost his grandmother. “Being there, knowing this is it, this is the room it’s going to happen in. This is where your life lead you.” He wrote deep from the heart, I believe the story is from the point of view of someone who quite literally is “on the line”. Lyrics like “Did I disappoint you?” and “Stay your pretty eyes on course” are so beautifully painful. As far as watching Arcane to understand the meaning, while I do believe it’s a worthwhile watch with rich storytelling, it won’t give you much further insight into what the song is about aside from being able to apply it to the relations of the characters (also incredibly heartbreaking). Tyler is such a great storyteller, Twenty One Pilots never fail to cement themselves into our hearts as the best band to do it :,)
The song is open ended and meant to have multiple meanings or applications. That being said, it was in fact created for Arcane, so it would actually explain what's happening in the video and help put it into context. But I see what you mean. It's also a tribute to his nana, and that's why it feels authentic.
I started this show yesterday because of twenty one pilots and all I have to say about the show is WOW. Luckily I was off and I finished the whole first season 😅
@@droidy7351 it is! and musics and songs used are on another level just like this one! and the scenes where they use each one of them are also spot on!
Its amazing how well this song not only represents the character development in the show so well but also has so much meaning in real life too i just cant help but think this song is being sung from the perspective of someone who is terminally ill asking a loved one to remember them the way they were before the disease took over their bodies. Its incredibly poignant.
Tyler said right before the video released that the inspiration for it was his grandma who just passed - and that was who it was referencing at the end of the video
You won't regret watching this series. It's one of the best written, produced and well-crafted shows imaginable. I'm not usually a fan of 3D animation or 2D hand-drawn animation because both lack the strengths that the other possesses, but the hybrid art style of this series exemplifies and raises the bar for both. The 3D characters capture the subtleties of emotion, without appearing uncanny against the beautiful backdrops painted by Fortische. We definitely need more shows like this.
And ''Ma meilleure Ennemie'' from Stromae, Pomme is also something he should also listen to, its also from Arcane but I won't spoil the scene in which it plays for those who haven't watched the show yet. Its in french but a lyrics video exists of it and the scene that accompanies it in the show is also very beautiful.
You should read this the story is : The relationship between Viktor and Jayce in *Arcane* is a dramatic focal point, reflecting a clash of ideals and ambitions, especially regarding Hextech. Here's an overview of their dynamic and its evolution: ### **1. The Beginning: Shared Ambition** - **Jayce:** An ambitious scientist aiming to use technology to empower humanity, viewing Hextech (magical technology) as a means to achieve unprecedented progress. His goal is to improve lives by merging magic and science. - **Viktor:** An experienced assistant and scientist from Zaun, a poor undercity.

It's been four days since the last and final act of Arcane released. I listen to the music from the 2nd season and there are many moments where I still feel the tears well, the hiccup in my chest, and the need to sob. That's not even touching on the art, animation, writing, character development, story, plot, ALL of it. Arcane is _devastatingly_ good. Please, give it a watch. You will not be disappointed.
If you’re a therapist, you should 100% watch Arcane. There’s so much trauma, so many shades of grey in the characters. It would be interesting to see your take on it.
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Yeah he is right. Great reaction you can do reaction on Blood sweat and tears cinematic, Enemy music cinematic and whole Arcane season 1 & 2 they are greatest things i have as DID person seen in my whole life.
You should ABSOLUTELY watch Arcane. Not just because it’s such an incredible show, but it also deals with so much mental anguish that I’m sure you’d be able discuss.
i would really like to see your reaction to this show, and your view on the characters from a therapist POV. Arcane is 100% one of the best shows of all time.
4:00 YES You’re 100% on the right track for this songs meaning. It’s essentially about sacrificing humanity for a “perfect world” for the people he sacrifices. PLEASE WATCH THIS SERIES IT NEEDS A THERAPISTS LOOK AND BREAKDOWN
You should rewatch it with the intro of him explaining its about his grandma passing away! Would really color you into the meaning :) Its about love from life into death, not a romantic relationship
It’s actually insane how insightful you are to the actual story for the show in the analysis you make. Not only is the show profound in the mental healthy themes but also profound philosophical and emotional themes. When people like me say it’s a masterpiece we’re not kidding. You get so much in 18 episodes and immerses you in a world so unlike ours yet mirrors so accurately.
This is a adaption from the world in the video game "League of Legends". It may be the best animated shows of all time with beautiful animation, story telling, character development, etc. and it is packed with mental health content. It has a quite unique setting and the characters and their interactions is probably the best thing in the show. There is also a lot of hidden stuff, parallels and details you won't notice on the first watch. It definetely is my favourite show of all time (until now) and it also helped me a lot mentally.
Bro has never seen arcane but is breaking down Victor and the female scientist who loves him's relationship PERFECTLY. Great writing on Tylers part, a beautiful collaboration with Arcane showrunners getting the most out EVERY song made for the series over 2 seasons. Amazing. Not only did they do the impossible and turn a video game storyline into a GOOD SHOW/MOVIE, but one of the BEST ANIMATED SERIES OF ALL TIME.
It's for a phenomenal "transformation/crossing of the threshold" scene where someone takes a personal risk in shucking everything he was and could be to put himself towards a single purpose he believes is right but made out of desperation
Every episode has something juicy for a therapist to diagnose; whether its the music, fight scenes, interpersonal conflicts, or inner demons. There's something in this show for everyone: beautiful art, emotional music, spectacular fight scenes, relatable characters and their relationships with eachother.
Tyler is a very beautiful artist and expressive composer and musician. Where was someone like him and his reach to those of us struggling with mental health when I was a teen? It takes one of us to understand and reach us on our level. I really need to check out this show! My daughter is a huge Twenty One Pilots fan and got us, her parents hooked as well.
You should totally watch this show. Not only does it have amazing music, it also has complex characters and relationships. I would definitely watch your reactions to Arcane!
Having lost one of the most important people in my life, this song feels like it is sang from a hospital bed. Don't remember me as I am now, remember me as I was. I don't know what will become of me. Keep going. The tribute at the end broke me. It brought me back to that bed.
Hi,I just read your Comment.its all how you decide,you can Live again.Take your Strenght,you go on,it dependes on You.its all in your Mind.Believe in yourself and you heal.🙏🫶❤️🍀
The amount of psychological insight that can be drawn from the series for analysis is incredible. 100% recommendable, especially when the analysis comes from people who study the human mind...
You did an impressive Job of instantly picking up on the theme of the song without any kind of context from the show. Though not 100% on the mark with your interpretation (would have been weird if you were without ever seeing it) but still very close! I also recommend to give Arcane a watch. Its characters are fleshed out immensely well, which makes them and their arcs feel very relatable, all the while taking place in an animated high fantasy world. The show as whole is a substantial piece of art both in regards to visual and musical art and amazing quality throughout.
As one of ToP's great fans since the dawn of the skeleton clique and heavy dirty souls, this song really speaks to a lot of things happening in that scene. Without spoiling too much, it's about a few characters, two favorites of mine. A father, taken from his family to become something he never asked for. An attempt to bring him home, his desire for them to remember as he was, not as he is now. The worry of whether or not society would accept him even if he came back. And a transcendence, a merging of souls ascending for some higher calling and deeper connection beyond death. The scene of this video depicts the transcendence, the words depict the loss of those we love. Tyler never misses with songs like these.
I also took “did I disappoint you. will they still let me over, if I cross the line” as “if I take my own life will I still get to wherever the person I miss is. Will they let me there.” Beautiful song.
As you are a therapist, I can't in good conscience encourage you to watch this show. It will leave you devastated. As a fan of Riot Games products, future-defining animation, phenomenal stories, and stellar music, I can't do anything BUT recommend it.
The way you inadvertently described the relationship between 2 of the main characters in the show, without having seen it really shows how fantastic the songwriting is in this son, is amazing.
Tyler in an interview said that when Riot sent him a crude scene of what they wanted to depict in the series, he said he was excited for it but also was dealing with his grandmother passing away. "It was sad, but it was more than that though, it changed me" he said, "allowing me to tap into a more personal experience..". BOY do I feel what he meant there by the song; watching the entire series with all its music and meaning, subliminal or not its just refreshing how they depict SOOO many emotions.
Arcane is filled with SO many details, so much symbolism, and so much love put into it. I am constantly reading of things I missed, even on my 6th watch through. Through the animators' and voice actors' interviews, social medias, and their own fan art, you can tell they're ALL passionate about the work they did 💓 I highly recommend it!!! (Btw, this song is between two of the main male characters 😊)
The line isn't only metaphorical death here. Concerning the show, It's also crossing into transhumanism, and wondering if there is coming back from that. "will they let me back if I cross it"
He wrote the song in 3 days when the show reached out to him, he's a huge fan of the show, but what made it so emotional was that it was a way for him to also grieve his loss of his grandmother that happened not so long befoor the Arcane creators reached to to him.
YES Watch Arcane! It's such a treat, rich with stories, personalities, music, and deep themes. AND the visuals! You'll seriously enjoy it, even if you dont know a thing about league of legends where it originates from.
You don't have to know the game, because Arcane is a stand alone series that is just incredible. Animated or not, it's so well written, with great characters and story. 100% recommend you watch it. We wont tell you what it's about because it's such huge spoilers if you ever watch it, which you should.
Maybe a series going trough the characters of arcane minds and how everything that happens could affect them and their way to see everything? maybe more about Jinx, the attachments of VI. I think it would be interesting to watch the opinion with a professional :D
for those who don't know..this is essentially Clancy becoming a Bishop. He's telling the Banditos and The Torchbearer (Josh) to let him to go and don't forget him
Did you see Tyler’s explanation of the song? He made an intro to the music video. It’s about his Grandmother passing and him being there as she died. Listen again and you can see this song is his grandmother’s perspective of the end of her life. 😢
This series will absolutely be worth your time, the story, animation & music is top notch. As many others have stated this show is in my top 3 of all time. 18 episodes with each being 40-50 minutes each. I can 100% recommend it, I would also highly recommend doing a reaction series to it. I'd love to see your take on it 😄
❤❤❤❤❤ per usual, Tyler only writes what he’s feeling. It was inspired by being with his grandma when she passed. As a person who has been in that position, I love everything about this and hope I have someone with me that appreciates life and death this way when my time comes.
Arcane is really the best content for a therapist react to, if someone would ask me, the emotions and trauma are so immersive because they put time on developing the characters in a way that feels human and real, you see on the way characters express themselfs the way they talk the face expressions are on point in a level that you forget that is an animated series in a fantasy world and of course the music and sound design is always there to support everything.
Never seen your content before, but mental health feels like quite literally the reason Arcane exists, I would heavily recommend a watch and would tune in to a reaction
Recommend Arcane, I totally would like more audience outside its circles to experience this masterpiece. Because its animation it has not reached all media niches, but Arcane is definitely for a mature audience more so than most mature shows out there, handling loss, forgiveness and mental health. This show respects its audience like no other, it does not hold your hand and never insults your intelligence. Il definitely check your content since I liked your insights about this video, here’s hoping I see you reacting to Arcane soon!
I'm learning this song to sing because it is a masterpiece and everytime I listen to it or try to sing it I start balling Vander deserved better Jinx deserved better Vi deserved better Isha deserved better Everyone in arcane deserved better
Just found your channel but I'd DEFINITELY check out your reactions to this show! It's so good, and even more for a therapist, there's so much to gain from this, but to learn what you should and shouldn't do...
I would love to see you react to arcane! Both for your joy and your professional point of view. Thanks for yet another great reaction. Love from Norway
The context is about a father scarred by their own rebellion and ultimately leading everyone to their deaths he then picked up whatever's left of the ruin he lead and decided to raise the children left behind he fought hard to keep them alive even paying the ultimate sacrifice only to be brought back as a beast that is only fueled by blood and savagery until he saw the kids again giving him a sense of what he was just to loose himself again in the beast while trying to kill his children.
Ther are a lot of amazing an emotional songs in arcane i can recommend ,what could have been, ,remember me, ,i cant hear it now, ,guns for hire, and ,to ashes and blood,
Many other songs from Arcane talk about mental issues : What could have been, by Sting, starts with the lyrics : "I am the monster you created" Wastland talks about suicide. Sucker is about grieving and loneliness Ma Meilleure Ennemie by Stromae talks about toxic relationships. Etc... The whole show is worth watching, really ! :)
Tøp is a amazing band for many years and many years more hopefully, tylers voice is soothing and wide in range and Josh's amazing drumming is always the perfect clash. The song is beautiful aswell i got it instald and saved, it clearly tells the story of viktor taking a new path which the character doesn't know if he crossed a line and there is no going back. (Thats all Ill say without spoiling)
I don't know you and I came to this video just because of this song that is present in the 2nd season of Arcane, which is simply the best animated series in history easily, it is simply a work of art, even if you don't like League of Legends (the game on which part of this story is based) you will definitely like Arcane very easily, and the scene that plays this song is simply incredible, it is very sad but at the same time simply very beautiful and this song is easily one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life and I had never heard a Twenty One Pilots song before, I highly recommend that you watch Arcane and some League of Legends cinematics such as Blood, Sweat & Tears which is partially related to a character from Arcane too.
Arcane is totally worth watching, and as of now it is complete. It approaches relationships and mental health in such beautiful and nuanced ways, and ALL the songs in it are written for it (11 in season 1, 22 in season 2), almost always to scene and from or about characters' POVs like a chorus. Imagine Dragons' song Enemy was written for it (the official music video is awesome btw), as was Linkin Park's Heavy is the Crown. That song was written for the show by Mike, in partnership with Arcane's music team, and when he was bringing Linkin Park back he asked them if he could make it a Linkin Park song too. So there's two versions of the song, a more subdued one for the show and one for the band. It, like The Line, is about a specific character from the show. Oh, and the song for the finale of Season 1 features Sting, because they thought his voice would be best. So they got him. Because I guess they can just do that.
Arcane is an animated show based on a video games, which you do not require any knowledge to watch. It is very rich, talking about politic, science and progress + its consequences, social problems, mental health in general... Without forgetting the right amount of epicness and emotion. It might be considered as the best animated show until now, and every single music in it have been tailor made and some are definitely worth reacting to (Guns for Hire, What could have been, Wasteland...)
This song actually has two meanings, one for the context of the show and I believe a portion of it was written capturing the feeling of being with his grandmother as she passed. With that in mine I think "the line" is intended as between life and death and also crossing the line figuratively in terms of going too far
Watch the series. It's amazing. This song can be related to a few relationships in the show, but i think it's most pointedly between two friends that are like brothers.
Arcane is one of the best shows ever not just in animation but in general. The story progression and character development is top notch
The best thing about the show that I liked are the details, references, and parallels and overall the fact they make the story uncomfortably emotional by giving a happy ending in an alternate universe but then you realise it's not in the original plot and ekko sitting alone at the same spot where they kissed in the alternative universe is depressing.

In a video that played before the initial premiere, Tyler gave some insight as to what ‘The Line’ is about.
To summarize:
He first began by speaking on how he could never really write about something that he himself doesn’t have a connection to. (When he wrote Heathens for suicide squad he also made it personal) He was reached out to by an Arcane adjacent group who wanted to know if he would create a song for it. At the time, coincidentally, he had just lost his grandmother.
“Being there, knowing this is it, this is the room it’s going to happen in. This is where your life lead you.”

Lyrics like “Did I disappoint you?” and “Stay your pretty eyes on course” are so beautifully painful.
As far as watching Arcane to understand the meaning, while I do believe it’s a worthwhile watch with rich storytelling, it won’t give you much further insight into what the song is about aside from being able to apply it to the relations of the characters (also incredibly heartbreaking).

You should read this the story is :
The relationship between Viktor and Jayce in *Arcane* is a dramatic focal point, reflecting a clash of ideals and ambitions, especially regarding Hextech. Here's an overview of their dynamic and its evolution:
### **1. The Beginning: Shared Ambition**
- **Jayce:** An ambitious scientist aiming to use technology to empower humanity, viewing Hextech (magical technology) as a means to achieve unprecedented progress. His goal is to improve lives by merging magic and science.
- **Viktor:** An experienced assistant and scientist from Zaun, a poor undercity. He shares Jayce's ambitions but has a more compassionate perspective, focusing on helping those suffering. Viktor sees Hextech as a way to transform Zaun and achieve social justice.
### **2. The Dispute Over Hextech's Direction**
- As their research progresses, major philosophical differences emerge:
- **Jayce:** Advocates for developing Hextech in a controlled way that benefits Piltover's elite, fearing the dangers of widespread use.
- **Viktor:** Believes the technology should be accessible to the poor and marginalized, especially Zaun's residents.
- These differences create tension, with Jayce leaning toward Piltover's council and distancing himself from Viktor's vision.
### **3. Personal Conflict: Rising Tensions**
- **Political Pressure:** Jayce becomes entangled in Piltover's politics, making decisions that favor the elite at the expense of scientific and ethical principles.
- **Viktor's Illness:** Suffering from a terminal illness, Viktor begins experimenting with unconventional and potentially dangerous methods to save himself using Hextech. He takes independent actions without consulting Jayce.
- **Loss of Trust:** The tension peaks as each believes the other is hindering progress-Jayce sees Viktor's actions as reckless, while Viktor feels Jayce has abandoned their shared ideals for power.
### **4. Reconciliation: Coming Together After Struggles**
- Despite their differences, they realize they need each other. Jayce reflects on his choices and sees how ambition blinded him to their shared values.
- **A Moment of Humanity:** Viktor’s illness and vulnerability push Jayce to attempt mending their relationship.
- **A Shared Hope:** They recognize that Hextech can benefit everyone if handled wisely. They reunite, striving to balance their visions.
### **Conclusion: Symbolism of Their Relationship**
- Viktor and Jayce's dynamic represents the tension between privilege and marginalization, idealism and realism.
- Their story showcases the complexity of human relationships, where ambition can divide friends but shared goals can ultimately bring them back together. 8:52

That's not even touching on the art, animation, writing, character development, story, plot, ALL of it.
Arcane is _devastatingly_ good.
Please, give it a watch.
You will not be disappointed.
If you’re a therapist, you should 100% watch Arcane. There’s so much trauma, so many shades of grey in the characters. It would be interesting to see your take on it.
Sounds good!👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Yeah he is right. Great reaction you can do reaction on Blood sweat and tears cinematic, Enemy music cinematic and whole Arcane season 1 & 2 they are greatest things i have as DID person seen in my whole life.
You should ABSOLUTELY watch Arcane. Not just because it’s such an incredible show, but it also deals with so much mental anguish that I’m sure you’d be able discuss.
i would really like to see your reaction to this show, and your view on the characters from a therapist POV. Arcane is 100% one of the best shows of all time.
4:00 YES You’re 100% on the right track for this songs meaning. It’s essentially about sacrificing humanity for a “perfect world” for the people he sacrifices. PLEASE WATCH THIS SERIES IT NEEDS A THERAPISTS LOOK AND BREAKDOWN
You should rewatch it with the intro of him explaining its about his grandma passing away! Would really color you into the meaning :) Its about love from life into death, not a romantic relationship
I think that was a 1 time thing? I don't see it anywhere

you would LOVE this series, trust me
its THAT good
“I can feel the light shine on my face”. I choose to believe this line is him closing the loop on trees.
Oh I love this.
What a beautiful thought! I sure hope so!
It’s actually insane how insightful you are to the actual story for the show in the analysis you make. Not only is the show profound in the mental healthy themes but also profound philosophical and emotional themes. When people like me say it’s a masterpiece we’re not kidding. You get so much in 18 episodes and immerses you in a world so unlike ours yet mirrors so accurately.
i need you to watch the Game Awards version, its absolutely incredible
This is a adaption from the world in the video game "League of Legends".
It may be the best animated shows of all time with beautiful animation, story telling, character development, etc. and it is packed with mental health content.
It has a quite unique setting and the characters and their interactions is probably the best thing in the show. There is also a lot of hidden stuff, parallels and details you won't notice on the first watch. It definetely is my favourite show of all time (until now) and it also helped me a lot mentally.
Bro has never seen arcane but is breaking down Victor and the female scientist who loves him's relationship PERFECTLY. Great writing on Tylers part, a beautiful collaboration with Arcane showrunners getting the most out EVERY song made for the series over 2 seasons. Amazing. Not only did they do the impossible and turn a video game storyline into a GOOD SHOW/MOVIE, but one of the BEST ANIMATED SERIES OF ALL TIME.
It's for a phenomenal "transformation/crossing of the threshold" scene where someone takes a personal risk in shucking everything he was and could be to put himself towards a single purpose he believes is right but made out of desperation
Every episode has something juicy for a therapist to diagnose; whether its the music, fight scenes, interpersonal conflicts, or inner demons. There's something in this show for everyone: beautiful art, emotional music, spectacular fight scenes, relatable characters and their relationships with eachother.
Tyler is a very beautiful artist and expressive composer and musician. Where was someone like him and his reach to those of us struggling with mental health when I was a teen? It takes one of us to understand and reach us on our level. I really need to check out this show! My daughter is a huge Twenty One Pilots fan and got us, her parents hooked as well.
You should totally watch this show. Not only does it have amazing music, it also has complex characters and relationships. I would definitely watch your reactions to Arcane!
Having lost one of the most important people in my life, this song feels like it is sang from a hospital bed.
Don't remember me as I am now, remember me as I was. I don't know what will become of me. Keep going.
The tribute at the end broke me. It brought me back to that bed.
I AM DYING FROM CANCER AND THIS SONGRE RESONATES... I FEEL NUMB INSIDE
Hi,I just read your Comment.its all how you decide,you can Live again.Take your Strenght,you go on,it dependes on You.its all in your Mind.Believe in yourself and you heal.🙏🫶❤️🍀
@@Laae934Sorry reality doesn’t work like that, wish it did though.
This song is about the character Viktor. He's amazing but very broken really. And his relationship with Jayce. It's so beautiful and sad!
There are so many beautiful songs in Arcane
If you do watch arcane, you should do a full reaction for each episode. Lots of Trauma, and raw emotion across the entire series.
The amount of psychological insight that can be drawn from the series for analysis is incredible. 100% recommendable, especially when the analysis comes from people who study the human mind...
You did an impressive Job of instantly picking up on the theme of the song without any kind of context from the show. Though not 100% on the mark with your interpretation (would have been weird if you were without ever seeing it) but still very close!
I also recommend to give Arcane a watch. Its characters are fleshed out immensely well, which makes them and their arcs feel very relatable, all the while taking place in an animated high fantasy world. The show as whole is a substantial piece of art both in regards to visual and musical art and amazing quality throughout.
As one of ToP's great fans since the dawn of the skeleton clique and heavy dirty souls, this song really speaks to a lot of things happening in that scene. Without spoiling too much, it's about a few characters, two favorites of mine. A father, taken from his family to become something he never asked for. An attempt to bring him home, his desire for them to remember as he was, not as he is now. The worry of whether or not society would accept him even if he came back. And a transcendence, a merging of souls ascending for some higher calling and deeper connection beyond death. The scene of this video depicts the transcendence, the words depict the loss of those we love. Tyler never misses with songs like these.
I also took “did I disappoint you. will they still let me over, if I cross the line” as “if I take my own life will I still get to wherever the person I miss is. Will they let me there.” Beautiful song.
As you are a therapist, I can't in good conscience encourage you to watch this show. It will leave you devastated.
As a fan of Riot Games products, future-defining animation, phenomenal stories, and stellar music, I can't do anything BUT recommend it.
The way you inadvertently described the relationship between 2 of the main characters in the show, without having seen it really shows how fantastic the songwriting is in this son, is amazing.
Tyler in an interview said that when Riot sent him a crude scene of what they wanted to depict in the series, he said he was excited for it but also was dealing with his grandmother passing away. "It was sad, but it was more than that though, it changed me" he said, "allowing me to tap into a more personal experience..". BOY do I feel what he meant there by the song; watching the entire series with all its music and meaning, subliminal or not its just refreshing how they depict SOOO many emotions.
You should definitely watch arcane. Its such an amazing show!
Arcane is filled with SO many details, so much symbolism, and so much love put into it. I am constantly reading of things I missed, even on my 6th watch through. Through the animators' and voice actors' interviews, social medias, and their own fan art, you can tell they're ALL passionate about the work they did 💓 I highly recommend it!!!
(Btw, this song is between two of the main male characters 😊)
The emotion that comes from watching the scene is incomparable.
The line isn't only metaphorical death here. Concerning the show, It's also crossing into transhumanism, and wondering if there is coming back from that. "will they let me back if I cross it"
He wrote the song in 3 days when the show reached out to him, he's a huge fan of the show, but what made it so emotional was that it was a way for him to also grieve his loss of his grandmother that happened not so long befoor the Arcane creators reached to to him.
YES Watch Arcane! It's such a treat, rich with stories, personalities, music, and deep themes. AND the visuals! You'll seriously enjoy it, even if you dont know a thing about league of legends where it originates from.
The live version at the game awards is honestly better than the studio version
You don't have to know the game, because Arcane is a stand alone series that is just incredible. Animated or not, it's so well written, with great characters and story. 100% recommend you watch it. We wont tell you what it's about because it's such huge spoilers if you ever watch it, which you should.
You should definitely check the show out, and react to more songs from it, its 100% worth it. Love your reactions
Maybe a series going trough the characters of arcane minds and how everything that happens could affect them and their way to see everything? maybe more about Jinx, the attachments of VI. I think it would be interesting to watch the opinion with a professional :D
for those who don't know..this is essentially Clancy becoming a Bishop. He's telling the Banditos and The Torchbearer (Josh) to let him to go and don't forget him
Did you see Tyler’s explanation of the song? He made an intro to the music video. It’s about his Grandmother passing and him being there as she died. Listen again and you can see this song is his grandmother’s perspective of the end of her life. 😢
This series will absolutely be worth your time, the story, animation & music is top notch. As many others have stated this show is in my top 3 of all time. 18 episodes with each being 40-50 minutes each. I can 100% recommend it, I would also highly recommend doing a reaction series to it. I'd love to see your take on it 😄
there is *a lot* to unpack in the Arcane series. it will stay as a favorite. and this song still makes me cry.
❤❤❤❤❤ per usual, Tyler only writes what he’s feeling. It was inspired by being with his grandma when she passed. As a person who has been in that position, I love everything about this and hope I have someone with me that appreciates life and death this way when my time comes.
You should watch the entire 2 seasons. It is an emotional rollercoaster, but it is so worth watching.
Arcane is really the best content for a therapist react to, if someone would ask me, the emotions and trauma are so immersive because they put time on developing the characters in a way that feels human and real, you see on the way characters express themselfs the way they talk the face expressions are on point in a level that you forget that is an animated series in a fantasy world and of course the music and sound design is always there to support everything.
Gotta do the live version from the game awards now
Never seen your content before, but mental health feels like quite literally the reason Arcane exists, I would heavily recommend a watch and would tune in to a reaction
I just want him to finish watching arcane and hit this part of the episode of the song
Bro there is a background sound of a ventilation breathing like darth Vader but more fragile. Holy details
the ending of that episode broke me...
That was insanely fast!
Recommend Arcane, I totally would like more audience outside its circles to experience this masterpiece. Because its animation it has not reached all media niches, but Arcane is definitely for a mature audience more so than most mature shows out there, handling loss, forgiveness and mental health. This show respects its audience like no other, it does not hold your hand and never insults your intelligence. Il definitely check your content since I liked your insights about this video, here’s hoping I see you reacting to Arcane soon!
I like this explanation too along with what I came up with. I can't stop crying to this song. Its so beautiful and sad.
As a therapist and someone who has studied mental health, yes you should watch Arcane. There is SO MUCH in there related to this kind of thing
crazy how well you picked up on the message without watching the show at all.
Shout out to Paul Meaney too. He’s the invisible member of Twenty One Pilots.
when sky says to viktor, "no, u wont" and the song starts it all makes sense and is both, painfull and beautiful to see and hear
Just finished it , its amazing ❤❤
I watched Arcane and the level of introspection and truth you have got out of this song make it even more impressive.
the show is one of the best shows of the history
Please reacting to arcane wasteland 😢 amazing song
Your analysis without context is _EXACTLY_ what is happening. Well done
I feel like the song is both Viktor and Vander singing
When/if you watch season 2 when this song is playing in the episode... You 1000000% understand how this song impacts the scene.
god I love arcane so much..
I'm learning this song to sing because it is a masterpiece and everytime I listen to it or try to sing it I start balling
Vander deserved better
Jinx deserved better
Vi deserved better
Isha deserved better
Everyone in arcane deserved better
Just found your channel but I'd DEFINITELY check out your reactions to this show! It's so good, and even more for a therapist, there's so much to gain from this, but to learn what you should and shouldn't do...
Your analysis of this is beautiful...I enjoyed watching your video.
I would love to see you react to arcane! Both for your joy and your professional point of view.
Thanks for yet another great reaction.
Love from Norway
reminds me of navigating “my dad just lost his mom i think that everybody leaves”
Arcane not only has some of the best animation and writting but the music is incredible too. Def give it a watch if you have time
Knowing what I know of the show and hearing the analysis... My heart is now broken into a million pieces.
The context is about a father scarred by their own rebellion and ultimately leading everyone to their deaths he then picked up whatever's left of the ruin he lead and decided to raise the children left behind he fought hard to keep them alive even paying the ultimate sacrifice only to be brought back as a beast that is only fueled by blood and savagery until he saw the kids again giving him a sense of what he was just to loose himself again in the beast while trying to kill his children.
Ther are a lot of amazing an emotional songs in arcane i can recommend ,what could have been, ,remember me, ,i cant hear it now, ,guns for hire, and ,to ashes and blood,
please make a reaction series about arcane i would love to hear your takes about it !
Many other songs from Arcane talk about mental issues :
What could have been, by Sting, starts with the lyrics : "I am the monster you created"
Wastland talks about suicide.
Sucker is about grieving and loneliness
Ma Meilleure Ennemie by Stromae talks about toxic relationships.
Etc...
The whole show is worth watching, really ! :)
Tøp is a amazing band for many years and many years more hopefully, tylers voice is soothing and wide in range and Josh's amazing drumming is always the perfect clash. The song is beautiful aswell i got it instald and saved, it clearly tells the story of viktor taking a new path which the character doesn't know if he crossed a line and there is no going back. (Thats all Ill say without spoiling)
the series is REALLY beautiful
I don't know you and I came to this video just because of this song that is present in the 2nd season of Arcane, which is simply the best animated series in history easily, it is simply a work of art, even if you don't like League of Legends (the game on which part of this story is based) you will definitely like Arcane very easily, and the scene that plays this song is simply incredible, it is very sad but at the same time simply very beautiful and this song is easily one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life and I had never heard a Twenty One Pilots song before, I highly recommend that you watch Arcane and some League of Legends cinematics such as Blood, Sweat & Tears which is partially related to a character from Arcane too.
Arcane is totally worth watching, and as of now it is complete. It approaches relationships and mental health in such beautiful and nuanced ways, and ALL the songs in it are written for it (11 in season 1, 22 in season 2), almost always to scene and from or about characters' POVs like a chorus.
Imagine Dragons' song Enemy was written for it (the official music video is awesome btw), as was Linkin Park's Heavy is the Crown. That song was written for the show by Mike, in partnership with Arcane's music team, and when he was bringing Linkin Park back he asked them if he could make it a Linkin Park song too. So there's two versions of the song, a more subdued one for the show and one for the band. It, like The Line, is about a specific character from the show.
Oh, and the song for the finale of Season 1 features Sting, because they thought his voice would be best. So they got him. Because I guess they can just do that.
"There is no prize to perfection. Only an end to pursuit"-Viktor.
Arcane is an animated show based on a video games, which you do not require any knowledge to watch. It is very rich, talking about politic, science and progress + its consequences, social problems, mental health in general... Without forgetting the right amount of epicness and emotion. It might be considered as the best animated show until now, and every single music in it have been tailor made and some are definitely worth reacting to (Guns for Hire, What could have been, Wasteland...)
What a wonderful man's voice and beautiful melody
You are not prepared for the emotional roller coaster that is arcane.
This song actually has two meanings, one for the context of the show and I believe a portion of it was written capturing the feeling of being with his grandmother as she passed. With that in mine I think "the line" is intended as between life and death and also crossing the line figuratively in terms of going too far
You should probably watch it. Most characters in this show are in serious need of therapy X'D
every time i hear this song it makes me cry.. not in bad way, this song is a masterpiece.. so as arcane
Watch the series. It's amazing. This song can be related to a few relationships in the show, but i think it's most pointedly between two friends that are like brothers.
