LYRICS
Look out for yourself!

I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I’m searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world, that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you’re the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

Oh, the misery!
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!
But I’m ready

Your words up on the wall, as you’re praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls, and the names that I’ve been called
I stack it in my mind, and I’m waiting for the time
When I show you what it’s like, to be words spit in a mic!
Tell you you’re the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

Oh, the misery!
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!

Look, okay
I’m hoping that somebody pray for me
I’m praying that somebody hope for me
I’m staying where nobody ‘posed to be
P-p-posted
Being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever just let me know
The road is long so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy’s on my trail, my energy unavailable
Imma tell ‘em hasta luego

They wanna plot on my trot to the top,
I’ve been outta shape, thinkin’ out the box
I’m an astronaut, I blasted off the planet rock
To cause Catastrophe and it matters more because I had it not
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shockin’ they wanted static with precision
I’m automatic quarterback, I ain’t talkin’ sacking
Pack it, pack it up, Iont panic, batter batter up
Who the baddest, it don’t matter, cause we at ya throat

Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
Oh, the misery!
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy

They say pray it away, I swear, I’ll never be a Saint, no way
My enemy
They say pray it away, I swear, I’ll never be a Saint

Look out for yourself!

Man, Riot is so freaking smart. They spent 10 years developing a game just to advertise for their phenomenal animated series. Simply genius

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Imagine Dragons and Riot Games collaborating always results in legendary music

[Wulfnstein]

The best part about this music video is that they didn't just grab scenes from the series and stuck them together like most companies do, nope, they actually made new scenes and material just for this music video, adding to the entire story.

[RaffyDGoat]

136 days until this masterpiece of a show returns. I will be there no matter what.

[the.martiankid]

This is so cool. Riot should definetly make a series about this.

Edit: The amount of chaos in the replies pleases me.

[blackmanbo]

The fact that they made Imagine Dragons canon in the series, they put so much love into this series and it certainly came out like a masterpiece

[Lumurix]

this and cyberpunk edgerunners are the perfect examples of turning video games into perfect shows

[fricka]

imagine how excited the musicians were to see themselves animated so cool

[sjd]

"I had a crush until you started talking to the gun" this quote from ekko became more understandable, just by seeing he and jinx were childhood friends which is included in the video... 🤯

[vistazeeshan]

If you're watching this incredible song randomly in 2024 then you're ultra legend

[angelodiavolo]

I love the fact that Arcane is all about everyone's personal war, losses, betrayals, stories. There is no good nor completely bad side. Everyone lives with his own contradictions. This song is perfect for this story and for this steam punk environment.

[jimharper]

This slaps so much harder after having watched the first act of Arcane.

Edit: After having finished the entire first season, I've been able to observe how the show and this music video make each other better. Many of the images shown in this video reveal more about the story. We see how the firelights cherished by Powder in her youth became a weapon developed by Jinx and the namesake of Ekko's Firelights. In the show, we only get to see Vi eating at Jericho's shop after her release from Stillwater Prison, but we can see her and the rest of her adopted family eating together in their youth in this video. In the show, we only see the young Ekko as a friend of Powder's adopted family, but the portrayal of Powder and Ekko in this music video shines a brighter light on what they meant to each other in their childhood, making the meaning of their fight in Act III much deeper. This is a great example of how the art of the 21st century often manifests itself in multiple genres simultaneously, all of which build upon each other.

[moistsquish]

Powder's descent into madness is prolly the best ive seen truly horrflying cause they made it so real

[Strelarck]

The team really put their souls in this project, this turned out to be actually amazing, keep it up, i want to watch the full lore

[tsukikage]

"Tell you you're the greatest"
"But once you turn, they hate us"

Hits different after Episode 3.

[DashingSteel]

"They say pray it away
I say, i'll never be a saint no way"

It's the core thing Jinx always wanted her sister to understand but she never did. You can't just erase everything Jinx became, she can't just become Powder again. When Silco told her he loved her the way she is it was exactly what she always wanted to hear.

[kevincastle]

The first season of Arcane was beyond amazing. Jinx is such an awesome written character. Can’t wait for season two.

[jvn.casiano]

"I used to have a crush, until she started talking to her gun."

- Ekko, the boy who shattered time

[iamfriendly]

This series isn't even half done but it already needs a season 6

[BeybladeStar]

The music videos that they put out are so amazing I can't believe they never won a Grammy.
