so this song is Isha's message to Jinx, to live, to keep living, and to never stop being a carefree, flying bird. I am in tears

[@letonoska7348]

"Just quietly forget, I´m fine the way I am" - Isha was okay with how it ended for her, despite dying so young. And somehow, that´s what breaks my heart the most

[@mirage_404]

I'm glad they put the lyrics on here, because it makes it all the more heart-wrenching and beautiful.

I love that they don't use English specifically for her song. I don't understand the lyrics of this song, but the tone of the music was more than enough to send a message to me. Isha can't speak, but you understand everything she does from the "tone" she produces, which is her movements.

[@huynguyenthe346]

Asia parents don't have the habit of saying loving words to their children. But that doesn't mean their children don't feel the love. Just like when someone treats you badly, they will never say hateful words to you, but you will feel their hate. Using words and dialogue in movies is what I rank lowest in terms of conveying a message. People who don't understand the emotions of the song just because they don't understand the lyrics, I really feel sorry for them, like they don't have the feeling sense.

If you speak Mandarin, you would find these lyrics and wordings are really beautiful. For example, the line "As one among million, still must blossoms into a solitary and splendit flower" The whole term "a solitary and splendit flower" is beautifully expressed by only two words "孤芳", this vocab is not something you can search for meaning on Google Translate

[@markh3885]

That is the beauty of language isn't it? One who did not grow up speaking that language cannot quite understand the powerful meaning of a given word unless they grew up learning the meaning of that word or have been immersed in it for years. Words carry power and meaning, but only if you really truly understand the wording and context.

is it possible to explain why it can be expressed as Gū fāng? as you said, google translate can't help with that. it says, 孤 = solitary, and 芳 = fragrant. does it share pronunciation with something else? or is it simply a phrase that came to fruition through time and linguistic-shenanigans lol. thank you :)

[@miabellaperez3367]

2:29 The lighting changing from a cold BLUE to a warm ORANGE and the music and his emotions going from LOUD & TROUBLED to CALM, QUIET & PEACEFUL really symbolising a transition from Jinx to Isha. And BECAUSE of Isha THEREFORE ALSO a transition in JINX'S MENTAL STATE

[@Caitlyngrin]

The fact that orange is a contrast to blue makes the symbolisim even better. God Arcane thinks of everything..

[@miabellaperez3367]

@Caitlyngrin That's EXACTLY what ive been thinking about, the fact that their colours are complementary opposites on the colour scheme. On top of the fact I've also heard ppl say Isha being mute so that is also VERY contrasting with Jinx's loud and chaotic not only personality but also her mental state, so that would give opportunities for very rare quiet scenes and interactions with Jinx.

[@mileyho]

YES BUT WATCH ACT 2

[@bw8383]

@@miabellaperez3367 Not only that, Isha can't be another haunting voice in Jinx's head because she was mute. She was also good for Jinx because she can't say her name and define her has Jinx or Powder leaving Jinx/powder to just be herself and not the personality someone she is talking too expects. It is crazy about how the writers were conscious of everything I never seen anything like this... even if this wasn't intentional and we are looking way too deep it all fits together like an amazing 10,000pc puzzle.

Telling Jinx that Isha was happy sacrificing herself, and even though Isha's gone (Even the world is desolate), she will always stay in her heart (look up and see the moon)

Isha dedicated the rest of her life to saving and protecting others because her first experience of kindness was probably when Jinx saved her life. So when we see her protective nature for the rest of the show it's probably that she modelled herself after that. In a way she represents Jinx's goodness and is the first character to see her purely as a hero, so was happy to die that way too

I think some of the lyrics mean that Jinx have to stop running from her inner child (Powder) and love that part of her. Yes, the past, the dark nature of life was so painful she had to separate herself from Powder, her childlike essence, in order to handle life. But she can´t live fully and blossom without that part of her, without Powder. She has to be both vulnerable and strong at the same time. Instead of looking for a saviour outside her, she has to find this saviour in herself.

Can we all just agree that this is a song from Isha to jinx. Telling her that Jinx doesn't need her, that even tough she is gone, jinx will find her way through life (remember jinx was basically depressed and well ..... suicidal, when they met in S2 act1). Isha also encourages her, To keep going, To not morn for her but live for her, To be free, To be herself and not let others decide who she is, To be the person she always wanted to be, To be the person Isha saw in her, Even tough Isha is gone now. ep5-6 and the lyrics of this song have officerly broken me like never before well done Riot and arcane, well done Edit: I came back to this, now that S2 has ended and have been able to let it all sink in, and i still whole heartedly stand by this and find that act 3 and the end of the show really connect back to this song as well. You see, we see jinx in ep 8-9, and she is the complete opposite of what Isha wants her to be, the opposite of what the song is telling jinx to do. she doesn't keep going, she does morn for her and doesn't want to live for her, she doesn't want to be free (Literally imprisons herself by turning herself in), She isn't herself and let's others decide who she is (everybody sees here as a jinx, while she's clearly trying to distance herself from that identity, she doesn't want to be the jinx), She isn't the person she always wanted to be, She isn't the person Isha saw in her (the hero that could save zaun), It's only after Ekko arrives and shows/hint's to her (with the monkey's in the Z drive, and by beleving in her, whilst in S1 we saw that he had lost hope in her) that she can be better, can be different and that here story isn't to be the jinx. Only then do we see that she lives up to what Isha tells her in this song. She leaves every thing behind and goes to search for who she is, to live, to be herself and not be powder nor jinx. And she got to be the hero that Isha saw in her that saved zaun and piltover. Jinx in the end did what Isha wanted her to do, to believe in herself, be free, not needing anyone for validation or needing to be someone she isn't, but just to be herself. Absolutely loved this season and all of arcane. Looking forwards to the other stuff they are cooking up at RIOT HQ and Fortiche, and cant wait to see (Hopefully) more of these characters in spin off series.

Is that them recreating the 1x3 opening with Jinx instead of Silco? This parallels never stop getting better.

[@Xoracious]

No, that was the moment from Ep 5 where Silco gently put Jinx in the Water so she could be metaphorically reborn. This is very much paralleling that.

[@MAGGNOT_]

​@@XoraciousI think the op meant 4:07

[@LeegolasandEl]

I find It interesting that our first introduction to Slico’s motives were him unable to get out of the same oily water just drifting in it. Now, it’s Jinx laying him there to rest, almost like she’s burying that side of herself, the side that was influenced by Slico!

[@Xoracious]

@@MAGGNOT_ But that would be the Ending, not the Opening

[@alexanderbjerking8508]

Okay for all the confused comments replying here. The very start is similar to the 1x3 opening. And there is also Jinx putting Silco in the water which is reverse from the scene in 1x5. And the hugging of Isha parallels the end of 1x3.

Like Jayce explains wild runes, you will know the message without speaking.

[@evashen7707]

I bellieve it's intentional. The fact that Isha cannot speak is being translated into Chinese---which isn't recognized by non-natives.///Yet the emotions behind [Isha (towards Jinx) →→→ the lyrics] are simple--pure and innocent love.

[@Dabomb2394]

I think Isha is the key to saving Jinx. All this time, Jinx has been looking to others for stability and identity. Isha is now putting Jinx in a position where she has to develop an identity FOR someone, has to be stable FOR someone. Much the same way that Vi had to be stable for her. This is going to be heart breaking 😭

[@what3954]

Exactly. And you know what's even sadder? Jinx is shown to be completely dead inside and straight up su!cidal throughout act 1, and my best bet is we're going to get the "I've finally found someone that's worth living for" trope.
