As someone who is dealing with terrible health issues and pain rn this these lyrics hit different… I’m terrified of dying.. Wishing everyone good health
If you are on the threshold of death, remember that it is not the end until your memories in other people die, do not live what little you have left in fear of dying, as this is inevitable. I wish you the best journey, and the best life, wherever you live it, it doesn't matter if it is here, or there, you simply deserve the best and for that you should not fear.
Perfect depiction of a villain. Viktor is not evil, but broken. He thinks he's doing the right thiong, but he's sacrificing everything in his pursuit of greatness. He crossed the line.
Agreed, he's my favourite character and has been from the start. He only wanted to help people and give them better lives, but ended up losing himself in trying to do good. Though, I've seen plenty of people who liked and loved Viktor in season 1 with him being a popular and universally liked character, who dislike and hate him now because of those 2 episodes and now see him as an evil villain, a narcissist with a god complex, a manipulator and hypocrite, etc. and it's really disheartening and sad. He's a really tragic character who had to struggle and suffer so much ever since he was born, but despite that only ever had good intentions and wanted to help people and give them peaceful, warless and painless lives, only to end up the way he did and to be remembered as a villain by the people of Piltover and Zaun, and apparently a portion of the fandom unfortunately.
What a beautiful tribute to his grandmother ❤️ Not only did he write something for a show he likes but was also able to honor someone he loves. It's triple as touching now.
Viktor deserves more but he's far better than what most people give him credit for. you just dont see many OTPs that play him but he's a late game menace.
This is my all-time favorite band, singing a song made for my new favorite show, specifically for my favorite character. I can't explain how happy this makes me.
So thats who the song is dedicated to at the end. I have appreciation, for these beautiful lives, and the mark they leave on the world. The impacts they have far beyond just themselves.
This is exactly why I love Arcane's soundtrack so much.. Each song is written specifically for the scene it's played in and the lyrics just reflect the feelings of the characters in the scene. This song and "Wasteland" are beyond a perfect fit. I really wish I could rewatch the show for the first time again.
Just like singed said in season 1 when giving victor shimmer to change his nature "if you take it they will despise you" and this time it's going through with his transformation.
You're wrong actually, this song isn't written specifically for the scene, obviously it has to fit but 21 pilots made this song about his grandma who recently passed away
@@dadif6947 he wrote it for nana but it also fit the theme well for the show, he knew he was sending it over for the show and for what scene he was writing
Maria Egan from Riot Games said about working with the band: ''What happens with Arcane is that we shall get sent some rough storyboards and there will be a temp track attached, it was a song that immediately made me think that Tyler Joseph has to write this. The moment was designed for this band and we knew that Tyler was a fan of the show and that they wanted to do something with us. He never really writes for anything else, but he loves the show so they wanted to see it and we sent it over. Literally three days after he got the scene, we got the song back, when that one came in it was like, ‘Okay, well, that’s it’. We were able to work really closely with them to create this moment. He’ll tell his own story about it, but he has his own investment in what the song means to him. But he really loves the show so he was so into being part of the world and trying to tell the story. He’s an exceptional songwriter, and he’s always been one of my favourite writers, lyrically. That’s a very masterful skill; to take specific stories and make them universal. There’s a handful of writers at any given time on the planet that do that well, and Tyler’s definitely one of them.”
Wow! It's so awesome to see Tyler Joseph being recognized like that. I really think he has the potential to be seen as one of the greats in music, and it looks like he's finally getting that respect.
Tyler es el poeta de la actualidad, el compositor más versátil y profundo. Lo respeto y admiro mucho. Como millones de nosotros alrededor del mundo. Bravo por The line y por el merecido reconocimiento.
That line about taking something specific and making it universal is the perfect way to describe his work. Like, think Kitchen Sink; that song is about a very specific moment he personally had, but then he made the song and thousands of people sing along to it. It's crazy.
i swear you could change some instrumentation a little bit and it would be a self titled song edit: his vocal delivery is a lot less reserved in self titled to be fair. idk lol
I like to think Jayce and Viktor went on to become explorers chasing wild runes throughout infinite timelines and dimensions. It’s just in my head but I still dream they lived out how they started; as curious lab partners trying to make the world better. Also this song made me cry while watching Arcane and just now, right now. Twenty one pilots always coming with the feels man ToT
Yeah, that'd be kinda cool. They exist only within the Arcane. Guiding and cautioning would-be, curious explorers who've tapped into the Arcane about its advantages and dangers
Can't believe that Riot compose a whole music list for this show. Normally, a movie is only created with about 1-2 songs, but Riot is on different level. Hope they can create the game same as well.
That last shot of Victor's face fully, irreversibly transforming, leaving his last bits of humanity behind combined with that piano instrumental is one of the most haunting and terrifyingly beautiful scenes I've seen in my life
@spooki_ghosti3 the fact that his "mask" isn't actually a mask, it's his face now since it grew out of his skull and ripped his real face in two parts💀
I'm still convinced that Sky symbolized Viktor's humanity and conscience, so when she began to evaporate, it represented Viktor saying goodbye to his humanity, which is evident when he says, "I'm going to miss our talks," to which Sky replies, "No, you won't," and if you examine Hexcore, you'll notice that it has four runes, with the fifth rune “Inspiration” missing, suggesting that Hexcore incorporated Sky as the rune of Inspiration, meaning that when Viktor made the decision for “Glorious Evolution,” he had to relinquish his emotions, and since Sky was Viktor's inspiration, he had to give her up as well.
It was so good! I'm glad that wasn't in the show version - it needed to be more solemn and melancholy - but him cutting loose on stage and releasing his emotions was beautiful 😊
@@skreyao4898 I think his grandma, it says in the very last seconds, and Tyler was talking about how his grandma died a while ago in the video before this
I know it's arcane stuff related but, like Tyler did with Heathens, What if it's about Clancy after getting in the tower? Because the beginning matches with the end of Paladin Strait, and the Piano chords resembles the Overcompensate chords like a looping
I heard this song for the first time today. It reminds me of the time I woke up after a failed suicide attempt. I couldn’t take life anymore. Then I had to deal with shame when I faced loved ones and friends afterwards. But with years of help and therapy I’ve never been happier. Hang in there. Things will get better with hard work.
There are plenty of tragic villains in fiction, but they always seem like villains by the end. Viktor, despite being the main antagonist of the series, never really feels like a villain. Just one of the many things that makes this show so special
i wouldnt consider Viktor a Villain or Antagonist, more like a Victim of Circumstance. Where his unfair start in life lead him down a difficult path, and that he made the best with what he was given, better than most all things considered, just, fate was a knife, twisted even before stabbing him. You can defintiely look at most characters in Arcane as Victim of Circumstance, where if only one or two things were different, everything would've been better, the Doctor, Vander, Silco, Jinx/Power, Jayce, Kaitlyn. All these characters lives were changed irreversibly by tragic events, that if not for those events, the world would've been a whole lot different.
Viktor isn't a villain, viktor is an idealist who did find the execution of his ideals in a vision that doesn't line up with the will of others. He might lose the sense for reality at some point but at no point he wants bad for others.
I currently have cancer andThis song I always listen too because my body is currently on the line, I want my family to keep the memories of who I was before I love this song truly so I hope I get better so one day I can look back at this song and how much I could relate to it.
My grandmother passed away on the very day this song was first released on Spotify, it's very sudden and painful. What surprised me was the fact that the lyrics were so relatable to what had just happened, it was surreal, but now it all makes sense. I later found out she refused to call me the day she fell ill because she didn't want me to worry. This segment specifically has such a deep meaning because of that: "but I'd rather you not be here for what could be my final form, stay your pretty eyes on course". This is a beautiful song, and I will never forget it. Thank you Tyler, and may your beloved grandma rest in peace
Sincere condolences friend🫂 That part hits hard for me too❤️🩹 it's exactly what my grandpa's thoughts were🤍 Sending you and your family peace and love🕊️
I'm sorry. I'm glad this music also gives some support. I really have a connection with legend for my gran. It was a very drawn out deterioration for her
Tyler wrote this song shortly after losing his grandma, she is literally the inspiration for it and that makes it so much more meaningful when you actually understand the lyrics.
The progression of love gone wrong, but ending up going right anyway, despite it all. Firstly they are victimised, secondly they become offenders/villains, thirdly they become saviours.
Not even Ambessa or Singed are villain. Ambessa has always loved Mel, she was just desperate because she was "backed into a corner" and wanted Viktor to be on her side because she wants all the power to defeat Black Rose. Meanwhile Singed has done everything only for his daughter, similar to Ambessa theyre doing actions deemed unspeakable for love. So yeah, selfish. But the same with Jinx, Vi, Cait, Jayce, Viktor, and so on. They are all selfish. And who's the one to pay for it? Ekko, Heimerdinger...
@@androxzu1842 You can probably also consider jinx, she didn't get the most development (alot of it happened off screen), but she had alot of great lines and facial expressions, showed the most emotion across both seasons. I think those 3 are all valid choices for best character.
@@peterbergeon9001 everyone can choose whoever. but I really hold a grudge against Jinx. she has killed lots and lots simply because, and everyone treat her like she just did one bad call. not only that, but she hasn't shown herself as a "complete" character even once. not completely crazy, not completely reedemable, not on anyone's side... I mean, it sometimes seems people just like her because she suffered. just as everyone (except Silco and Isha) in the series, I love only Powder and not Jinx.
The "No, you wont" line is my favourite moment of the victor storyline. Victors crossing of what made him human combined with his love and Vander dissolving...
Tbf he did have some sentimentality for Jayce even after his transformation, but I agree that he was willing to give up most of his humanity when he agreed with the transformation process and Ambessa's deal
@@johnbrylledomingo6377 I mean ambessa never hated magic, she just thought it was unfair as you can only be born with it which she said in her speech with mel. Now she has a chance to even the odds.
I don’t care what anyone says, Viktor’s rework is one of the best things to happen to animation. His story had me on the edge of my seat every step of the way. His voice actor really nailed talking so calm when he spoke of evolution with Singed.
Making him lost his humanity via migical void virus, while in the lore its something that happensa over decades of him triyng to do better for him and for all people just to be hunted and shunned by jayce and his narrow way of thinking... The show is good, and I love Viktor, but daaam they did him dirty makin this be more magical in nature than his obsession with creating artifical bodies for people who were broken like him.
Something I love about this song that I haven’t seen people talking about is the drumming. It’s sounds like someone going into battle. Marching towards the end.
Goodbye Viktor. 💔😭 So sad that he thought he was "imperfect", but many (Sky and Jayce) loved and admired him exactly how and who he was and thought "he is 'perfect' ". Moral of the story: we should tell our dearest ones that we love and support them more often. And if you are struggling with illness or disability: you are enough and loved (I'm sure you are!). Thank you for being here.🫂 What a great character. 🤌🏻 What a great song. It's perfect for him. Thank you
What Viktor did wasn't right, but he had all the right to feel it was. You can see it in the scene where he managed to run again. He just didn't wanted anyone to have the same fate and feel as useless as he felt he once was.
Iirc Viktor was kinda dying from his illness tho wasn't he? If all his disability did was make him not able to walk without help then yeah, he'd just need to accept it, but I remember it being more dire than that. The lengths to which he went were obviously not good, but I can understand wanting to cure a condition that will end your life early if untreated.
@@impastabowl2328we don't really know. Maybe they are in another dimension 👀 for now, I think it's the end of their story. But both left an impact in the society and exploring that in the next season
I lowkey think these are programmed drums. Usually u can tell super easily when it's josh but idk about this one yk. Especially after clancy I'd be expecting something more unique.
I’m here after watching Arcane and getting Aplastic Anemia diagnosis. Never have I ever felt so seen by the song: how my body changes and I can’t do anything about it, how the disappointment of the pain and burden I cause for my family and loved ones and even myself, how I want everyone to remember me before- when I could walk and be myself, working and having fun around. It’s curable and I am blessed to receive treatment. I wish everyone in tough health situations a recovery - you can do it. We won’t cross the line. you are not alone 😭❤️
showing viktor and jayce literally fusing in their love while the lyrics say "i guess i never really faced my fears before, so stay with me because-" is certainly... a choice.
@@dovahc816it's a beautiful way to show that romantic love that transcends all universes can be shown so deeply without a kiss or bed scene. hopefully we'll see more of that in media in the future.
U might wanna check other songs as well! From Twenty one Pilots. “My blood” and “I cut my lip” for me sound familiar. Same vibes, check them out if you want
I had never heard of Arcane before this song, but I have had an unhealthy obsession with the band since 2017 and now also have an unhealthy obsession with this song. It's my lullaby.
My grandmother just passed away last night from a long fight of Cancer, and I've had this song in my head since then. She was the best Gram-Gram anyone could ask for. Rest in Peace, Grandma. Ill miss you more than anything.
Vander's final death was some of the toughest TV I've had to watch. I don't know if it's because I've recently become a dad or what, but the scene made me really sad. Seeing the memories fade and his eyes finally go out for good wrenched my gut.
I'm such a father's girl, Vander's scene made me extremely sad, I literally started bawling lol 😭😭 it really was heartbreaking (congrats on recently becoming a dad!!!❤)
@@gavin_guidry Thank you! It's been a wild ride, since I've always been a "tough guy". Today I got choked up watching some LoR cinematic where a dad gets shot by an arrow while holding his baby.
My wife and I have been fighting her rare cancer for almost a year and a half now. Coming from that place, this song just destroys me. The melody and lyric expression is so precious and fragile, I just want to carry it and nurture it so it can just continue. But all beautiful things must end, and this song is no exception. I've learned to stop and savor every moment of the beautiful things around me while I can because you just never know when they may pass into Legend. Tyler, thank you for a tune that makes me feel less alone in my own personal feelings and fears.
I know this song is meant for Viktor, showing his final doubts before finally crossing the line, but I love how it can apply to almost every character in the series: "Did I disappoint you?" - Jayce, Vi, Jinx, Cait, Mel, Vander, Silco. All these people trying to change for someone or something else, giving up a parts of themselves in an attempt to live up to expectations or achieve their goals. They all crossed their own lines in one way or another and that all leads to Viktor crossing THE LINE and after this scene nothing could ever be the same.
@@amyhenderson1352 my friend and i watched arcane with his mom and she had no idea about anything and just enjoyed it for what it was and she was in the same boat as you. i really like that. CRY ON MOMMA
Can you believe I've been listening to this since the music came out? I'm getting addicted to this song, I'm scared of listening to it for too long and I don't like it anymore...HELP!!!
if you watch the show theres an enforcer that looks just like tyler in the last three eps of the show. he plays the piano in piltover and then throughout the last ep he makes appearances. not sure if its meant to be him but it definitely looks like it!!
The fact that the entire song is a triple entendre is very meaningful to the show, his grandmother, and us. I cried listening to this as I definitely made me think of family that have passed on, always wondering if I disappointed them by going the way I wanted for myself.
Viktor is a tragic character, he thought he'd do good but that only resulted in eternal solitude and nothingness. I love the uniqueness that he never kills despite being the big bad and he could easily do it.
@@davidg3747 honestly, I think the arcane amplified his ambitions, but I don't think he was manipulated. He truly believed that humanity needed to be saved, and only he could do it.
@@1gnit3d He was in fact corrupted by the arcane. He was not Viktor anymore when he stepped out of the Hex Core. He only came back to his senses when Ekko threw an anomaly onto his face, disturbing the "charge, potential, recursive impulse" of the arcane, and that was the moment Jayce could "reach" him, his humanity. Jayce probably didn't know Viktor could touch him and read his memories, but the anomaly on the Z-drive that Ekko threw at him was probably the thing that disturbed the arcane corruption of Viktor's mind and he could talk normally and humanly with Jayce.
@@LukasKiller157 False. The hex core did not "corrupt" him. if this was the case Viktor would not have tried to save Vander and rejected Singed's offer what would erase his humanity. Only after absorbing the apex shimmer would that argument even make a modicum of sense. Every time he becomes more extreme it was due to Jayce's actions, breaking his promise, blasting him, refusing to talk. Blaming it on the "evil arcane" takes away his complexity, and I believe the writers are better than that.
@@elshook09 How would you explain the Viktor's mental breakdown after he was hit by the Z-drive AND after touching Jayce and visualising his memories of that alternate universe?
"The level of storytelling and emotion in 'The Line' is unreal. Twenty One Pilots always has this incredible way of capturing inner struggles and turning them into powerful anthems. Tyler and Josh never disappoint with the raw, honest lyrics and unique sound. This one’s going to hit home for so many people. 💛♥️♥️
More like Human condition where the same sources which allows us to stand up to injustices also allow us to perpetuate grave injustices based on our convictions.
This song describes Viktor's feelings so much, the saddest thing is seeing his most vulnerable and broken side. I just hope that he can fulfill his wish to help humanity with Jayce and be happy, 🥺🥀
Being Viktor main, big TØP fan, getting a collaboration on Player Days... Thank you for this year Riot Games. You made so much people happy guys I love you. Please don't ever stop
Watching Arcane season 2 and now this music video The Line, really just breaks my heart for Vander! Brought back so many times, twice reunited with his family and every time it's taken away. This beautiful song broke my heart again and I love it for it! Season 2 was truly a masterpiece!
Reminds me of my grandpa dying of leukemia. The verse about not wanting them to be seen in that final form hits hard. People dying want to be remembered as the healthy strong person, not the weak dying version of themselves. Sadly enough for the people who watch someone die and see them in their final days, that is the final memory we have of them. Gnarly stuff.
Simply put, it is hauntingly beautiful and heart-wrenchingly painful. The under-toned person on the breathing machine in the subtle background absolutely shook me.
Nah it will launch 25 so 23 we can watch it without any spoiler. Ppl is spoiled bc they not noice it or they try to find it, just search for what song it has and avoid it to what the show, but i think listen to it also a way to contribute to the artist bc it's their work so watch early not a bad thing
@phuckilljoy7191 I meant we were being treated well by getting both a song and a video, not that the story was going to be spoiled. I know the video isn't out until Monday.
This scene is absolutely so beautiful. Viktor & Vander losing the little bit of humanity they have left. (0:42) For Viktor letting go of his childhood friend/ colleague. & (1:18) Vander losing the rest of the memories of his family.
Don`t worry, Singed and Viktor failed to wipe out Vander`s humanity totally. We know because in the last episode there`s a flashback to Vander lovingly watching Young Powder and Vi sleep just after adopting them and because the two girls were sleeping in that flashback that memory could only be one person's: Vander's, thus explaining why Warwick doesn`t kill innocents in the game.
@@nuyennie I have no doubts about it, remember he started crying when singing Navigating on tour "My dad just lost his mom, I think that everybody leaves"
As a disabled person, I really connect with Viktor. I would love a cure to my disability, but at the same time, it makes me ME. There's beauty in the imperfections, or whatever it was Jayce said. Also, Viktor is like that Lizard character from Spider-man.
Tyler, you released this song the day after my grandpa passed. Little did I know you wrote this song in a sense to help the healing process of your own moment of grief with your nana. This song has helped me a lot in my moments of grief considering I watched the emergency personnel running into their house with defibrillators trying to revive him. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. It’s helped me a lot in these last few days. Sending you and yours lots of love. ❤
Lyrics: My body's on the line now I can't fight this time now I can feel the light shine on my face Did I disappoint you? Will they still let me over If I cross the line? Take a seat But I'd rather you not be here for What could be my final form Stay your pretty eyes on course Keep the memories of who I was before So stay with me because My body's on the line now I can't fight this time now I can feel the light shine on my face Did I disappoint you? Will they still let me over If I cross the line? Honestly I thought I was fully prepared for The threshold in store Stay your pretty eyes on course I guess I never really faced my fears before So stay with me because My body's on the line now Pull the blanket tight now I can feel the light shine on my face Did I disappoint you? Will they still let me over If I cross the line? Please don't let them see me Sure there's nothing left to try I can feel the light shine on my face Did I disappoint you? Will they still let me over If I cross the line? If I cross the line If I cross the line
My father died from cancer and I'm listening to this crying my eyes out. I can't help but ask myself if he had thoughts like these too "Did I disappoint you?" "Keep the memories of who I was before" This song makes me feel close to him in a way I never felt since his death. Never thought a song could do this
"I thought I could bring an end to the world's suffering. But when all the equations were solved, all that remained were fields of dreamless solitude. There is no prize to perfection. Only an end to pursuit."

Maria Egan from Riot Games said about working with the band: ''What happens with Arcane is that we shall get sent some rough storyboards and there will be a temp track attached, it was a song that immediately made me think that Tyler Joseph has to write this. The moment was designed for this band and we knew that Tyler was a fan of the show and that they wanted to do something with us. He never really writes for anything else, but he loves the show so they wanted to see it and we sent it over. Literally three days after he got the scene, we got the song back, when that one came in it was like, ‘Okay, well, that’s it’. We were able to work really closely with them to create this moment. He’ll tell his own story about it, but he has his own investment in what the song means to him. But he really loves the show so he was so into being part of the world and trying to tell the story. He’s an exceptional songwriter, and he’s always been one of my favourite writers, lyrically. That’s a very masterful skill; to take specific stories and make them universal. There’s a handful of writers at any given time on the planet that do that well, and Tyler’s definitely one of them.”
ugh Tyler's a musical genius and I'm so happy he got to be part of the show. I hope they tag TOP in again for bangers in future shows 😍
Incredibly well said!
Wow! It's so awesome to see Tyler Joseph being recognized like that. I really think he has the potential to be seen as one of the greats in music, and it looks like he's finally getting that respect.
Tyler es el poeta de la actualidad, el compositor más versátil y profundo. Lo respeto y admiro mucho. Como millones de nosotros alrededor del mundo. Bravo por The line y por el merecido reconocimiento.
That line about taking something specific and making it universal is the perfect way to describe his work. Like, think Kitchen Sink; that song is about a very specific moment he personally had, but then he made the song and thousands of people sing along to it. It's crazy.
This reminds me of Tyler's old songs, the rawness of his voice, the feeling
It's so beautiful.
❤
Fact
THISS
Exatcly❤
i swear you could change some instrumentation a little bit and it would be a self titled song
edit: his vocal delivery is a lot less reserved in self titled to be fair. idk lol
Tyler's SCREAM during the live performance at the 2024 Game Awards was incredible! Wow, that was an epic moment. GG
I like to think Jayce and Viktor went on to become explorers chasing wild runes throughout infinite timelines and dimensions. It’s just in my head but I still dream they lived out how they started; as curious lab partners trying to make the world better. Also this song made me cry while watching Arcane and just now, right now. Twenty one pilots always coming with the feels man ToT
I really like that thought, viktors come back to his senses and they’ve both just started wondering the universe, exploring things and helping people.
@ they won’t forget to do good this time *badum tisshhh*
Yeah, that'd be kinda cool. They exist only within the Arcane. Guiding and cautioning would-be, curious explorers who've tapped into the Arcane about its advantages and dangers
Everything will be better eventually, what do you mean ??
"What do you say? Wanna go stop a few calamities?"
Can't believe that Riot compose a whole music list for this show. Normally, a movie is only created with about 1-2 songs, but Riot is on different level. Hope they can create the game same as well.
Not a music company btw
The last sentence LMFAO
Lol what
a movie only creates 1-2 songs? what? 😭😭
@@yuunmi5229 they are becoming one now and im loving it
That last shot of Victor's face fully, irreversibly transforming, leaving his last bits of humanity behind combined with that piano instrumental is one of the most haunting and terrifyingly beautiful scenes I've seen in my life
Real..
@spooki_ghosti3 the fact that his "mask" isn't actually a mask, it's his face now since it grew out of his skull and ripped his real face in two parts💀
what's the timestamp?
@@cleo_con it's not in the music video, I'm talking about the last scene of S2E8
It wasn't irreversible though!
I'm still convinced that Sky symbolized Viktor's humanity and conscience, so when she began to evaporate, it represented Viktor saying goodbye to his humanity, which is evident when he says, "I'm going to miss our talks," to which Sky replies, "No, you won't," and if you examine Hexcore, you'll notice that it has four runes, with the fifth rune “Inspiration” missing, suggesting that Hexcore incorporated Sky as the rune of Inspiration, meaning that when Viktor made the decision for “Glorious Evolution,” he had to relinquish his emotions, and since Sky was Viktor's inspiration, he had to give her up as well.
DID YALL HEAR THAT SCREAM IN THE LIVE PERFORMANCE
I DID!!!!!!!!!! I cried
That was musical nirvana
I cried all the time
Otherworldly...
It was so good! I'm glad that wasn't in the show version - it needed to be more solemn and melancholy - but him cutting loose on stage and releasing his emotions was beautiful 😊

Exactly the same bro I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IS REAL
SAME HERE😢❤❤❤❤
This is HEAVEN
IKR 😭😭 I wonder if viktor is his favourite character
I know it's arcane stuff related but, like Tyler did with Heathens, What if it's about Clancy after getting in the tower? Because the beginning matches with the end of Paladin Strait, and the Piano chords resembles the Overcompensate chords like a looping
I heard this song for the first time today. It reminds me of the time I woke up after a failed suicide attempt. I couldn’t take life anymore. Then I had to deal with shame when I faced loved ones and friends afterwards. But with years of help and therapy I’ve never been happier. Hang in there. Things will get better with hard work.
Hope ur doing well bro

How is it Clancy becoming a bishop??
bro top clique people are insane, who knows how they drew up that conclusion @DragonLord1998
There are plenty of tragic villains in fiction, but they always seem like villains by the end. Viktor, despite being the main antagonist of the series, never really feels like a villain. Just one of the many things that makes this show so special
i dont even feel like anyone is the antagonist in this series, every one feels like the main character
@@xxfortniteslayer69xx82 I can say without a doubt that I considered Ambessa the villain even before she became one.
Victor had the best arc in the show. His greatest good led to his greatest evil, and he tried to change the past so many times
i wouldnt consider Viktor a Villain or Antagonist, more like a Victim of Circumstance. Where his unfair start in life lead him down a difficult path, and that he made the best with what he was given, better than most all things considered, just, fate was a knife, twisted even before stabbing him.
You can defintiely look at most characters in Arcane as Victim of Circumstance, where if only one or two things were different, everything would've been better, the Doctor, Vander, Silco, Jinx/Power, Jayce, Kaitlyn. All these characters lives were changed irreversibly by tragic events, that if not for those events, the world would've been a whole lot different.
Viktor isn't a villain, viktor is an idealist who did find the execution of his ideals in a vision that doesn't line up with the will of others. He might lose the sense for reality at some point but at no point he wants bad for others.
I currently have cancer andThis song I always listen too because my body is currently on the line, I want my family to keep the memories of who I was before I love this song truly so I hope I get better so one day I can look back at this song and how much I could relate to it.

My grandmother passed away on the very day this song was first released on Spotify, it's very sudden and painful. What surprised me was the fact that the lyrics were so relatable to what had just happened, it was surreal, but now it all makes sense.
I later found out she refused to call me the day she fell ill because she didn't want me to worry. This segment specifically has such a deep meaning because of that: "but I'd rather you not be here for what could be my final form, stay your pretty eyes on course".
This is a beautiful song, and I will never forget it. Thank you Tyler, and may your beloved grandma rest in peace
bro I’m gonna cry I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm sorry, hope it gets better
Sincere condolences friend🫂 That part hits hard for me too❤️🩹 it's exactly what my grandpa's thoughts were🤍 Sending you and your family peace and love🕊️
I'm sorry. I'm glad this music also gives some support. I really have a connection with legend for my gran. It was a very drawn out deterioration for her
My condolences.
Sorry for your loss man. No matter what happens tho we’ll be there when you need us. The song was beautiful
Who did he lose?
This song has such a personal meaning to Tylee
@@porfavor206 3:32
@atahansuzer idk who is it
@@porfavor206His grandmother.
Tyler wrote this song shortly after losing his grandma, she is literally the inspiration for it and that makes it so much more meaningful when you actually understand the lyrics.
Viktor’s humanity fading away while the piano plays? Riot really said, “Let’s break everyone’s hearts in HD.”
Only in Arcane I can fully sympathize with every villains, cause eventually EVERYONE is the villain in Arcane.
True, everyone is a shade of gray.
The progression of love gone wrong, but ending up going right anyway, despite it all.
Firstly they are victimised, secondly they become offenders/villains, thirdly they become saviours.
Those who are the hardest to love, is usually those who need it the most.
I can't even see Viktor as a villain. It's Singed and Ambessa who brought him over the line.
Not even Ambessa or Singed are villain. Ambessa has always loved Mel, she was just desperate because she was "backed into a corner" and wanted Viktor to be on her side because she wants all the power to defeat Black Rose.
Meanwhile Singed has done everything only for his daughter, similar to Ambessa theyre doing actions deemed unspeakable for love. So yeah, selfish.
But the same with Jinx, Vi, Cait, Jayce, Viktor, and so on. They are all selfish. And who's the one to pay for it? Ekko, Heimerdinger...
We are so lucky to live in the same time as Tyler. All my condolences to Tyler and his family
Rest in peace Nana.
Oh no! Tyler's grandmother passed? I did not know. LOVE, PEACE & MANY PRAYERS to his family 💞🙏🏼

Viktor was the best character in Arcane imo
yeah he was
The most interesting one for sure
him and Ekko, the boy savior, the one who shattered time. no other character can compete with these two.
@@androxzu1842 You can probably also consider jinx, she didn't get the most development (alot of it happened off screen), but she had alot of great lines and facial expressions, showed the most emotion across both seasons. I think those 3 are all valid choices for best character.
@@peterbergeon9001 everyone can choose whoever. but I really hold a grudge against Jinx. she has killed lots and lots simply because, and everyone treat her like she just did one bad call. not only that, but she hasn't shown herself as a "complete" character even once. not completely crazy, not completely reedemable, not on anyone's side... I mean, it sometimes seems people just like her because she suffered. just as everyone (except Silco and Isha) in the series, I love only Powder and not Jinx.
my obsession with this video/ song isn’t healthy but it’s so beautiful
The "No, you wont" line is my favourite moment of the victor storyline. Victors crossing of what made him human combined with his love and Vander dissolving...
Tbf he did have some sentimentality for Jayce even after his transformation, but I agree that he was willing to give up most of his humanity when he agreed with the transformation process and Ambessa's deal
@@Kalakeiko Ambessa willing to make deals with magic people to fight other magic people :o
@@johnbrylledomingo6377 I mean ambessa never hated magic, she just thought it was unfair as you can only be born with it which she said in her speech with mel. Now she has a chance to even the odds.
Biggest question is will the ending of Arcane break our hearts or leave us with tears of joy.
But we already know it will be both.
terrible beauty if i may say maybe
Tears of joy because it’s over.
What do you mean ?@@michaelororke379
the vas said they all cried at the end so i'd say its terrible aka really sad

I don’t care what anyone says, Viktor’s rework is one of the best things to happen to animation. His story had me on the edge of my seat every step of the way. His voice actor really nailed talking so calm when he spoke of evolution with Singed.
In the series? Yes. In the game? No
@@HQSantos_meh nobody cares about lol like lesgue of legends its one of the worst games ever made we are here for arcane
@@jorgedelgado3231 i know lol is hated but if it wasnt for lol we would not have arcane so atleast respect it not the game but the universe and lore
@@jorgedelgado3231 I understand you might not like it but there is a reason why it is the most popular esport ever.
Making him lost his humanity via migical void virus, while in the lore its something that happensa over decades of him triyng to do better for him and for all people just to be hunted and shunned by jayce and his narrow way of thinking... The show is good, and I love Viktor, but daaam they did him dirty makin this be more magical in nature than his obsession with creating artifical bodies for people who were broken like him.
Something I love about this song that I haven’t seen people talking about is the drumming. It’s sounds like someone going into battle. Marching towards the end.
Yes !!! Thank you ❤
Agree
The fact he made this song in around 3 days after being sent the scenes,, love this man sm
excuse me what??? 3 DAYSS????
Goodbye Viktor. 💔😭
So sad that he thought he was "imperfect", but many (Sky and Jayce) loved and admired him exactly how and who he was and thought "he is 'perfect' ".
Moral of the story: we should tell our dearest ones that we love and support them more often.
And if you are struggling with illness or disability: you are enough and loved (I'm sure you are!). Thank you for being here.🫂
What a great character. 🤌🏻
What a great song. It's perfect for him. Thank you
This actually ties up really well with what twenty one pilots sing about
What Viktor did wasn't right, but he had all the right to feel it was.
You can see it in the scene where he managed to run again. He just didn't wanted anyone to have the same fate and feel as useless as he felt he once was.
Iirc Viktor was kinda dying from his illness tho wasn't he? If all his disability did was make him not able to walk without help then yeah, he'd just need to accept it, but I remember it being more dire than that. The lengths to which he went were obviously not good, but I can understand wanting to cure a condition that will end your life early if untreated.
Did he actually die?
@@impastabowl2328we don't really know. Maybe they are in another dimension 👀 for now, I think it's the end of their story. But both left an impact in the society and exploring that in the next season
Josh‘s drum solo hits so hard. It’s like he’s calling to him, trying to get him back like Jayce did to Viktor

I lowkey think these are programmed drums. Usually u can tell super easily when it's josh but idk about this one yk. Especially after clancy I'd be expecting something more unique.
Yess
I’m here after watching Arcane and getting Aplastic Anemia diagnosis. Never have I ever felt so seen by the song: how my body changes and I can’t do anything about it, how the disappointment of the pain and burden I cause for my family and loved ones and even myself, how I want everyone to remember me before- when I could walk and be myself, working and having fun around. It’s curable and I am blessed to receive treatment. I wish everyone in tough health situations a recovery - you can do it. We won’t cross the line. you are not alone 😭❤️
Hope you will Recover. Love from Russia, God bless you!

what do mean? TOP never went anywhere.
I meant Riot having them make music for Arcane. They are my favorite

Yeah "Heavy Is The Crown"
Well the Linkin Park Song was terrible, Gods was 10x better aswell as Warriors or Legends Never Die🥲
Vander's final death was some of the toughest TV I've had to watch. I don't know if it's because I've recently become a dad or what, but the scene made me really sad.
Seeing the memories fade and his eyes finally go out for good wrenched my gut.
I'm such a father's girl, Vander's scene made me extremely sad, I literally started bawling lol 😭😭 it really was heartbreaking (congrats on recently becoming a dad!!!❤)
When I was a new dad I played AC Origins, don't make that mistake. You've got this bud!
Actually the lyrics during the scene fit Vander as well as Victor, losing the last bit of humanity, literally dying and crossing the line.
Welcome to your new reality. Getting choked up constantly. And congrats!
@@gavin_guidry Thank you! It's been a wild ride, since I've always been a "tough guy".

RIGHT. Need this double album now… apparently it’s talking about Clancy crossing “the line” when he takes the robe from the bishops
This is what I was thinking too
which is what?
My wife and I have been fighting her rare cancer for almost a year and a half now. Coming from that place, this song just destroys me. The melody and lyric expression is so precious and fragile, I just want to carry it and nurture it so it can just continue. But all beautiful things must end, and this song is no exception. I've learned to stop and savor every moment of the beautiful things around me while I can because you just never know when they may pass into Legend. Tyler, thank you for a tune that makes me feel less alone in my own personal feelings and fears.
I hope it's worth your effort my friend
@@edaduvan123 She's worth every effort until my dying breath
I know this song is meant for Viktor, showing his final doubts before finally crossing the line, but I love how it can apply to almost every character in the series:
"Did I disappoint you?" - Jayce, Vi, Jinx, Cait, Mel, Vander, Silco.
All these people trying to change for someone or something else, giving up a parts of themselves in an attempt to live up to expectations or achieve their goals. They all crossed their own lines in one way or another and that all leads to Viktor crossing THE LINE and after this scene nothing could ever be the same.
a lot of songs in arcane could be interpreted differently depends on which character you think of when u listen to it. the song enemy is the same
I think he only saying that about Jayce and maybe vander
It could apply to any character, real or not, myself included..just a 52yo lady ..crying my eyes out when I hear this...gosh so connectable

The fact that the entire song is a triple entendre is very meaningful to the show, his grandmother, and us. I cried listening to this as I definitely made me think of family that have passed on, always wondering if I disappointed them by going the way I wanted for myself.
Viktor is a tragic character, he thought he'd do good but that only resulted in eternal solitude and nothingness. I love the uniqueness that he never kills despite being the big bad and he could easily do it.
Question is how much he had control over himself because I think the Arcane also manipulated him.
@@davidg3747 honestly, I think the arcane amplified his ambitions, but I don't think he was manipulated. He truly believed that humanity needed to be saved, and only he could do it.
@@1gnit3d He was in fact corrupted by the arcane. He was not Viktor anymore when he stepped out of the Hex Core. He only came back to his senses when Ekko threw an anomaly onto his face, disturbing the "charge, potential, recursive impulse" of the arcane, and that was the moment Jayce could "reach" him, his humanity. Jayce probably didn't know Viktor could touch him and read his memories, but the anomaly on the Z-drive that Ekko threw at him was probably the thing that disturbed the arcane corruption of Viktor's mind and he could talk normally and humanly with Jayce.
@@LukasKiller157 False. The hex core did not "corrupt" him. if this was the case Viktor would not have tried to save Vander and rejected Singed's offer what would erase his humanity. Only after absorbing the apex shimmer would that argument even make a modicum of sense. Every time he becomes more extreme it was due to Jayce's actions, breaking his promise, blasting him, refusing to talk. Blaming it on the "evil arcane" takes away his complexity, and I believe the writers are better than that.
@@elshook09 How would you explain the Viktor's mental breakdown after he was hit by the Z-drive AND after touching Jayce and visualising his memories of that alternate universe?
I'm very happy to see Arcane getting support for music and collaborations like that. This is absolutely incredible, a very good collaboration...
W collaboration ❤

Best collaboration 🎉😮

"The level of storytelling and emotion in 'The Line' is unreal. Twenty One Pilots always has this incredible way of capturing inner struggles and turning them into powerful anthems. Tyler and Josh never disappoint with the raw, honest lyrics and unique sound. This one’s going to hit home for so many people. 💛♥️♥️
Yeah I was crying without expecting it
Viktor is the perfect depiction of an Anti-Villain; someone that does evil/causes harm, but their motives are good/pure.
More like Human condition where the same sources which allows us to stand up to injustices also allow us to perpetuate grave injustices based on our convictions.
This song describes Viktor's feelings so much, the saddest thing is seeing his most vulnerable and broken side. I just hope that he can fulfill his wish to help humanity with Jayce and be happy, 🥺🥀
Being Viktor main, big TØP fan, getting a collaboration on Player Days... Thank you for this year Riot Games. You made so much people happy guys I love you. Please don't ever stop
Peak content i agree
Watching Arcane season 2 and now this music video The Line, really just breaks my heart for Vander! Brought back so many times, twice reunited with his family and every time it's taken away. This beautiful song broke my heart again and I love it for it! Season 2 was truly a masterpiece!
Loved your reaction to the video
Vander’s story was a true tragedy
Reminds me of my grandpa dying of leukemia. The verse about not wanting them to be seen in that final form hits hard. People dying want to be remembered as the healthy strong person, not the weak dying version of themselves. Sadly enough for the people who watch someone die and see them in their final days, that is the final memory we have of them. Gnarly stuff.
This is what I've dreamed of, Twenty One Pilots making a song for Arcane. My favourite band making a song for my favourite series.
Oh man, Welcome back Twenty one pilots
They never left. :D
LISTEN CLANCY
Clancy was only 5 months ago mate
Welcome back to Trench - hmm, Clancy now
They've been here all the time, you were asleep, it's time to wake up.
This song is deep. Both heals and hurts. Seeing Vander's memories that he had kept despite all the hardships fade away hits hard every time.
Simply put, it is hauntingly beautiful and heart-wrenchingly painful. The under-toned person on the breathing machine in the subtle background absolutely shook me.
And a video? My God we're getting spoiled with this!
Nah it will launch 25 so 23 we can watch it without any spoiler. Ppl is spoiled bc they not noice it or they try to find it, just search for what song it has and avoid it to what the show, but i think listen to it also a way to contribute to the artist bc it's their work so watch early not a bad thing
@phuckilljoy7191 I meant we were being treated well by getting both a song and a video, not that the story was going to be spoiled. I know the video isn't out until Monday.
This song is about slowly dying inside, Tyler really sang so well
Literally everyone
No. It's about literally dying dying. Physically.
I see it as sung from the pov of a person who's dying. I guess from the perspective of his grandma...
This scene is absolutely so beautiful. Viktor & Vander losing the little bit of humanity they have left.
(0:42) For Viktor letting go of his childhood friend/ colleague.
& (1:18) Vander losing the rest of the memories of his family.
Don`t worry, Singed and Viktor failed to wipe out Vander`s humanity totally. We know because in the last episode there`s a flashback to Vander lovingly watching Young Powder and Vi sleep just after adopting them and because the two girls were sleeping in that flashback that memory could only be one person's: Vander's, thus explaining why Warwick doesn`t kill innocents in the game.
@ ohh woww I already rewatched the last act like 3 times & never seen it from that perspective. Thank you for this

ROBLOX PRE PRESSURE THE BEST SONG EVER, EVER
Fact❤
For every Arcane fan not familiar with twenty one pilots... the clique welcomes you!! |-/
That's so sweet! I'm the opposite, I'm a TØP fan, but now I have to watch arcane lol
@@rottenunikorn8956please Watch arcane dude. It’s one of the best shows ever, no exaggeration
@@rottenunikorn8956 same lol
dude please shut up
@@rottenunikorn8956You will NOT be disappointed. I was so shocked when I heard Tyler's voice in one of the episodes from season 2.
NOT "pull the blanket tight now" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *crumples into a million tears*
As a disabled person, I really connect with Viktor. I would love a cure to my disability, but at the same time, it makes me ME. There's beauty in the imperfections, or whatever it was Jayce said.
Also, Viktor is like that Lizard character from Spider-man.
Agree
Now when we know the meaning of the song for Tyler, it's hard not to cry harder :(
her shadow behind him while at the piano is so sad but such a beautiful way to honor her ❤️ rest in peace nana
Tyler's voice is so vulnerable, love it
The beauty of this song is amplified by the knowing he wrote this thinking on his dead Gran 😢
Tyler, you released this song the day after my grandpa passed. Little did I know you wrote this song in a sense to help the healing process of your own moment of grief with your nana. This song has helped me a lot in my moments of grief considering I watched the emergency personnel running into their house with defibrillators trying to revive him. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. It’s helped me a lot in these last few days. Sending you and yours lots of love. ❤
This video made me realize The Line is not just about Viktor and his journey. It's about all of them. This sentiment is born of all the characters.
Lyrics:
My body's on the line now
I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
Take a seat
But I'd rather you not be here for
What could be my final form
Stay your pretty eyes on course
Keep the memories of who I was before
So stay with me because
My body's on the line now
I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
Honestly
I thought I was fully prepared for
The threshold in store
Stay your pretty eyes on course
I guess I never really faced my fears before
So stay with me because
My body's on the line now
Pull the blanket tight now
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
Please don't let them see me
Sure there's nothing left to try
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
If I cross the line
If I cross the line
I haven't seen a song perfectly encapsulated what's happening in the screen this well since what could have been. This is just the perfection
My father died from cancer and I'm listening to this crying my eyes out. I can't help but ask myself if he had thoughts like these too "Did I disappoint you?" "Keep the memories of who I was before"
This song makes me feel close to him in a way I never felt since his death. Never thought a song could do this
Im so sorry...
1:51 Feeling the reality that everybody leaves
Finally 2 fandom merged, even though this is Arcane MV, but the lyrics might be related to TOP lore too
I think the video will be somewhat lore releated also. This song Is about to be WOW with the music video
I feel like it might have 2 videos. One for arcane other for the lore. The lyrics are too lore heavy.
"I thought I could bring an end to the world's suffering.
But when all the equations were solved, all that remained were fields of dreamless solitude.
There is no prize to perfection. Only an end to pursuit."
