Aviators - Black Holes (Portal 2 Song)

  • Portal 2 is just an awesome game, and for some reason I felt like writing a song about one of its most interesting characters, Wheatley. He's good turned bad, and I always like writing songs about conflicted villains.
    This is also the first single from From Oceans to Skies!

    Lyrics:
    I'd like to carve a hole
    In my all-seeing eye
    Then resurrect myself
    Years after my demise
    I'll be the blade that cuts
    The cables from your head
    Fear nothing, but embrace
    The drive you feel instead
    I'd like to reconcile
    The conflicts in my heart
    These broken lights inside
    Are tearing me apart
    An iron mind commands
    The deeds I have to do
    Black holes inside my soul
    Are pulling me from you
    Somewhere inside this place
    You're with her, unamused
    By my mistakes, the aches
    Of having you to use
    It's just a test, not a game
    But here you've reached the end
    I'm told to kill you
    Though you were my only friend
    Paradise
    Means sacrifice
    Paradise
    Means ending life
    I'd like to help you
    I'd like to hurt you
    I'd like to save you
    I'd like to hurt you

    At the end of Portal 2, as Wheatley flies off into space, he yells “GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME”.
    This is actually a callback to much earlier in the game, when he first detaches from his management rail.

    "An iron mind commands the deeds I have to do." This part in particular is pretty on point. Notice that both Wheatley and GLaDOS's actions as villains happen when they're connected to the mainframe. As soon as you disconnect GLaDOS, she starts becoming a more sympathetic character. As soon as you plug Wheatley in, he starts going mad. Then, once you unplug Wheatley again, he becomes remorseful and sympathetic again, although it's too late to save him. It would seem that neither GLaDOS or Wheatley are inherently evil, but that they are influenced by a flaw in the design of the mainframe. GLaDOS less so because she was designed to be linked to it, but still not immune on account of her digital AI being based on a brain scan of Caroline, a human being.
    Unfortunately, there's probably no fixing it either. GLaDOS killed everyone with the know how to fix any unintended side effects of the design, and seems completely incapable or uninterested in fixing it herself. She's actively aware of it, she makes as much clear during the events of the game, yet never actually does anything about it.

    I just wanna clarify something here (even though I am 4 years late)
    A lot of people think that Wheatley just turned evil because of his power or something, but I think it is because the Mainframe he was connected to (And so was GlaDOS before him) was made to test, test, and test even more.
    So as he got connected, he kinda got corrupted by the Mainframe and went crazy. (That would also explain "The Itch" he was talking about.)
    So it is actually a pretty sad story about a good guy who got corrupted.
    I miss Wheatley.

      I am a year late, but I would like to give my piece of mind on this: Wheatley did not get corrupted. Aside from the Itch to test, the mainframe provided Wheatley with nothing more but power. But this power-trip and obsession are not the primary reason he's turned on Chell and refused to leave alongside her.
      As GLaDOS said, Wheatley was deliberately designed to slow her-the mainframe, and consequently all of Aperture-down by making the worst possible choices. When he got plugged into the mainframe, he simply continued to follow his programming. What was the worst possible choice he could make in his position? Anger the one person he knows is capable of destroying the mainframe. Shut down all safety systems and perpetuate the facility's destruction.
      Of course he was sorry at the end. Once rendered incapable of making any decisions that could affect the mainframe or Aperture itself, he was free to consciously think about his actions in accordance with his underlying personality. Though remorseful, he'd very likely do the same things again if given the chance. After all, he can't help it. It's in his nature.

    The line "black holes inside my soul are pulling me from you" resonates with me so much - it captures the feeling of helplessness to do anything about your bad qualities, and you see that they're ruining everything but you feel like you can't do anything. (You can, of course, but many people are too weak to try. I know I am.)

    Dear Aviators,
    Years.... years you have been making music and you probably will for years further. I am just a simple fan who listens to music but i realized something common in all of your music. the comments... Your music is so different every time but the comments just do not change. how many people who have listened, who still listen, and are inspired to make more, just because you wrote a song. I am not saying you have to, i'm pointing out how many lives you've affected, how many you've changed. Did you even realize your impact? like a meteor crashing through the atmosphere you left a crater that will not soon be filled. You were just being you, making songs based on you're interests and your personal perspective on the world. your opinion not opened up the soul of the listener, but the creativity of them too. Thank you, i guess is what i'm trying to say here tho i doubt you will read this so as fruitless as it is, i feel i had to say this. Thank you Aviators for being... You. And let nothing change who you are.

      I always thought he changed over the course of the game.
      At first, yes he was a moron as decided by his programming, until she crushed him.
      Then that protocol failed to run, resulting in good ideas such as "Hiding from GLaDOS", and "Shut down the toxin/turrets" BEFORE entering her chamber.
      Those were all smart ideas, didn't even have an idea when they reached her chamber until the announcer chimed in.
      Meaning... He didn't PLAN to take her spot at all.
      After being plugged into the direct CORE of the facility he would have gotten priority repairs. Him laughing might have been caused by the system repairing his code, much like the itch being scratched. But like a tickle.
      The facility was designed to TEST, so it's code would surely overshadow any core that is plugged in.
      Even the most useless one, heck even a lazy core would be given the drive to test.

    "Black holes inside my soul are pulling me from you" is the perfect summary of not only Wheatley, but so many people in real life who do bad things (be they big or little). It's often (yes, I know, not always) because of some emotional issue or unmet emotional need, and the person may know their actions are wrong but be unwilling or feel unable to stop because of those emotional issues that cloud their priorities. I think it's important for anyone who interacts with other people to understand this.

    • @SpectraMakesMusic
      @SpectraMakesMusic 9 лет назад +5

      WestAussie Brumby Hmm, I don't think it's quite one of those cadences. It's more like using an A major chord as the 6th chord when you're in the key of C. So it's kinda like it acts as a minor key when it's actually a major one... I'm probably still not explaining it right, but it does the same thing in quite a few Glaze songs (including Awoken, so I guess that's part of the reason why some commenters on this video found those 2 songs similar)

      Of course! Wheatley has been verbally abused and told he was designed to be stupid his whole life, and hendidn't have a chance against that mainframe with his preprogrammed low impulse control - he did horrible things that he never would have done had he been treated with decency somehow, and so I pity him and wish he had a chance to be a good person! I also think the same about most real people when they do bad things. Pity and condemnation usually go hand in hand, because people don't do horrible things for no reason - they do them to meet some usually important physical or emotional need that they really should have had met alredy, or because they were never taught how to handle their emotions in a healthy way, or if they do do horrible things for no reason that usually means they have a severe mental illness and need medical treatment. Either way, condemnation without pity or vice versa is inhumane.

The world, the animals, elements, each other... what do we mean to this world? Is there an answer that we have yet to find? Its true. Its not a game. Its another huge test. Songs make me think of these things. Including this song Exile Vilify and many others that I may not remember. They remind me of my life... my friends and those I've lost. Im tearing myself apart inside while thinking of these things. This song reminds me of these things. And I'd like to thank you. This is another gift or reminders, happiness and life. I want to remind you. Of the things we have accomplished. Every thing we do, is another step closer to the truth.
