I was supposed to do my assignment tonight but instead I will write an essay about why I think Twist of Fate is the Jeanpiku song.
Do we deserve a second chance?
How did we fall into this circumstance?
The song is from Jean and Pieck's pov. After the rumbling, JP is left with their thoughts. They muse how they got out alive, now bonded to work with the enemy for the rest of their lives. If they were even supposed to be living.
We weren't so straight and narrow
This is much more than we deserve
Both know they participated in this cruel game before the rumbling, they feel guilty of their past actions. They don't feel they deserve this ending, when so many innocent lives were lost.
Two hearts that lost the beat will now resume
The gift of life extension
Divine intervention, Eren and Ymir. Jean was titanised by the end of 138, Pieck had a few years left. Both had a second chance at life, now as new people (roles).
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
A strange twist of fate (all that happened from chapter 1 to 139) brought them to this point. Now that they get a second shot at life, they want to live it better.
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
They never had the luxury of loving freely. Pieck was a warrior who spent her time in wars, her and her father's status would be in danger, for Jean even if he loved he could be losing her in any second.
At their second attemp at life, Pieck and Jean find love at each other. Life finally means something.
Don't understand what's going on
Woke up this morning, all the hurt was gone
I'm back in the land of the living
Finally they feel like living. Confused by their feelings, now they have something to look forward to when they wake up. Their love.
Conclusion: Twist of Fate by Olivia Newton-John is about Jeanpiku going through their guilt and coming out with love during the years they spent together as ambassadors.
