LYRICS
I am the monster you created
You ripped out all my parts
And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw
That I needed you more
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play What Could Have Been
Oh, What Could Have Been
Why don’t you love who I am? What we Could Have Been
I am your ghost, a fallen angel
You ripped out all my parts
I couldn’t care what invention you made me
‘Cause I, I was meant to be yours
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play What Could Have Been
From Arcane League of Legends, Soundtrack from the Animated Series
November 6 // November 13 // November 20
The #Arcane soundtrack drops in three releases.
Genius. Masterpiece. Thanks for giving us this.
Is it weird that I equally see this as a theme song for Jason Todd/Red Hood?
omfg que locura
I have no words to describe how perfect this soundtrack is and how well it fits the moment. A moment that marks a before and after that also makes you understand in the cruelest way that things could have been different. There is no hero or villain, only characters who suffer in one way or another. This in combination with the perfection of the soundtrack creates a magnificent scene and a season finale that many of us will never forget. Thank you for this Riot.
You ripped out all my parts too. Im such a crybaby.
Just finished the series. Well this song hits different 😌😌😌😌
진짜 아케인은 전 세계인들이 알아야할 명작이다
This violin Solo… From heaven
Legendary🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such an appropriate song for the finale!
I simply identify with this song, and I can't explain it. The feeling is so abstract, I love it. Congratulations, you made it all memorable.
Aww yeah just throw that emotional pain directly into my veins
Se guardaron lo mejor para el final, impresionante Sting como siempre
Tomorrow the first thing Im gonna do is check Netflix if there is something more of Arcane. I know Im gonna be dissapointed but Im still doing it..
Best song of Arcane. Cried.
Yeah, I feel those memories that I still asking what could have been, and this song help me to let them go
Jinx about to make the sickest crossmap rocket kill in all of League history.
The best song i've never hear
This song is sooooo underrated
Everything about this show is amazing
The song that plays after you realize everybody wants to be you enemy and you need to look out for yourself.
Make pawder back 🥺💔
t was doubly sad and painful when I watched this scene on the show, because the lyrics of the song very much about my life this year
What a one of a kind magica piece. God bless you. Excelent master piece
Here’s to the new us…
Holy shit that was Sting???!!’
wait is that the Sting I think about? The englishman?
still goosebumps
Anyone have something similar to this song?
Silcos death might be one of the most suprising things, i really saw him having a n interessting story/future
Perdí la fe en riot, y esta joya de serie me devolvió el amor por el juego. Virgen santa pedazo de producción.
First ten minutes of the first episode gave me the feels so bad I was hooked into this wonderful world
Arcane is a masterpiece in several fronts. The facial expressions and the action animation, both the fast and the slow mo takes, amazing. About the facial expressions I actually think they slouched a bit on those in Vi in the last episode. But Powder's/Jinx's face is so masterful, every nanosecond, that I'd forgive that. The final rocket trajectory also kind of pointlessly/unnecessarily confusing, first aiming at that moon, I also forgive that. This last song by no less than Sting's voice, honestly doesn't particularly click too much with me, but I also forgive that, given Ramsey's gorgeous and haunting song in the 3rd chapter. Minor nitpicks for such overall masterfully flooring work. The graphics, the music, the sound overall, all the tension and struggle, this series is an audiovisual and emotional roller coaster feast. Masterpiece.
people say that game to movie adaptations cant work, but thats cause they think about RPG games that follow a story.
since LoL is not a story-driven game, arcane is more focused on the story behind the characters, which gives it more liberties, and makes for a way better game to adapt into a show/movie. and riot did a disgustingly good job in adapting it, i feel like it was given a great idea and nailed everything
, and the music is what i think sums that up. it is so perfectly chosen for the story and setting they were going for.
Today fellas I learned a harsh lesson: Never have faith in something that can’t be certain. I got played and this song is able to capture my feeling atm. Thank you Riot games, thank you sting and Ray Chen for giving me an emotional outlet.❤️❤️
RIOT and FORTICE just become standar setters for generations to come. As simple as that.
After 10 years, when we talk about the League, we would probably be saying, “As a fun fact, the most successful IP universe, which produces so many popular movies and TV series, starts off as a video game.”
You know what makes a great villain ? No matter how hard you try, you will never hate him. Because he is beyond such a manichean view. Instead, you fill feel sympathy for him, his cause, and eventually be saddened by the fate he inevitably meets. Just like Darth Vader was manipulated into the Dark Side fearing for the death of Padme, and found redemption in his son, Silco was led on his path by the ruthlessness of his own brother, and found some form of redemption in his daugther, Jinx. A true tragedy, like the Ancients taught us. Thank you Riot and thank you Fortiche studio.
Imagine being criticized by your flaws your whole life and then you are hit by "Don't cry, you are Perfect" by someone who loves you. That feeling is indescribable <3
This song gave a huge vibe of Amumu's song. The sadness, the violoin and piano in the background all combine with a beautiful male vocal.. just perfect.
name a better movie adaptation for a video game ? u can
This song adds an extra touch of drama and emotion to the scene, especially if you analyze and listen to the lyrics well. Without a doubt, Riot Games made the best decision when using this song.
Vi didn't do much to get her sister back so it's normal to see how jinx did trust her
For a person who’s never played a single Riot game, I sure seem to listen to a lot of Riot music…
So beautiful, great work.
Jesus. I had no idea this was Sting. My man is 70 and releasing shit like this??? Amazing.

我不在乎你為我編織怎樣的故事
'Cause I, I was meant to be yours
因為我 注定屬於你

Yeah well. I cried.
I never would have given you to them. Not for anything.
Don't cry, you're perfect.
@Ray Chen It was more, emotions ran the entire range of possibilities.
