Some of my first-time-hearing reactions to Janusâ playlist (sorry for the rambling parts):
Black Hole Sun: Itâs apparently about depression according to Genius? Like itâs kinda like yearning for the depression to be sucked into the âblack hole sunâ... The snake references and heaven and hell is definitely Janus. Also, it sounds old-timey like a jazz song, so that sets up the mood of the entire playlist. I donât really get this... but this feels like a mood setter for the entire thing, unless it means something else. What do you guys think?
It Seemed the Better Way: The strings? CHILLS. Leonard Cohenâs voice reminds me of Hades in Hadestown. âSounded like the truth, seemed the better way... but itâs not the truth todayâ is just his motto is what Iâm seeing. And then the âI better hold my tongue, I better take my place...â part feels like resignation to me. Itâs either Janus is trying to help, but that didnât work so he resigns to become the âvillainâ of the light sides. It could allude to the dark sides as a whole: they are all trying to help Thomas in their ways, but because being themselves doesnât work, they need the villain, spooky facade.
Anywhere: Ooh, Iâm seeing a vintage vibe from all of this... Back to the song. âItâs a beautiful / If youâve been lied toâ is a good callback to the whole âsociety is built on liesâ from SvS from Jay Dee. âLet this be a call to arms / At the changing of the avante garde / Nothing in this world... is beautiful.â Is Janus a pessimist? If so, heâs a good juxtaposition to Patton, the optimist. Also, the vocals remind me of like a really old timey radio, semi-haunted... my instincts say that it feels like the singer is like Harrison Bergeron (Kurt Vonnegut; do read it; itâs a good short story) trying to tell the truth about this world that people think is a good place.
Talking at the Same Time: Someone please draw Janus as like a 1920s gentleman character swaggering... wait I can. This song reminds me of âWhy donât you do rightâ by Jessica Rabbit on âWho Framed Roger Rabbit.â Jazz or blues? Either one. This song is really depressing? I donât know why, but there is that feel of everything is hopeless. Pessimistic, again. âA tiny boy... made a sword from a stick and a gun from his handâ reminds me of Roman in a way? But then again, the âwe bailed out all the millionaires / theyâve got the fruit / Weâve got the rindâ doesnât remind me of Roman.
all the good girls go to hell: âMY LUCIFER IS LOOONELYYâ... sorry I love this song. Anyways, the lyrics really speak to Janus just because of the whole duality and Christian metaphors. Also, J is the side who would definitely âwant the Devil on her teamâ. We love the whole duality motif. I just *chefâs kiss x3*.
Denial: OH MY GOSH THE SVS REDUX... J was denial. HE WAS DENIAL. âJust donât shut your eyes closed / Not until I get it off my chestâ is basically the blindfold metaphor that happened throughout SvS, so would this be the message he wants to send to Thomas and Patton... or maybe the entire light sides. âHave you turned a corner? / Do you think of leaving me behind?â Dark side acceptance arc? Also, âI know youâre looking for direction... I know where you wanna go / Oh I do, but do you?â is to Roman and Thomas for the callback because he knew they wanted to go âso bad.â
(click for more analysis and summary!)
Trust in Me: Of course, snek boi, I knew this could be something youâll put in. But do we trust you? So this is his suave villainy song. This again shows how Bananaconda child operates; he wants Thomas to trust him and be selfish but excessively. Thatâs why balance is necessary for all of the sides!
Razzle Dazzle: *gasp* MUSICAL SONGS NOW? YASSS. Definition is ânoisy, showy, and exciting activity and display designed to attract and impress,â so the whole facade of being fancy to hide the insecurities and âbadâ parts. Sounds like someone we know (*cough* ROMAN *cough*). âWhat if your hinges all are rusting / What if, in fact, youâre just disgusting? / Razzle dazzle âem and theyâll never catch wiseâ is just a jab and a stab at Roman. Or maybe itâs him. Heâs also the dramatic one. If so, we have angst arriving.
When the Chips are Down: HADESTOWN OH MY YES! STRINGS! AAAAA! Does Janus give me Fate vibes in a way? Yes, definitely. âNobodyâs righteous / Nobodyâs proud / Nobodyâs innocent / Now that the chips are downâ Holy CRAPP. Itâs the perfect response to Pattonâs âNobodyâs perfect... except for Thomas, he loves his friends!â in SvS. Now that the âchips are down,â Thomas should take after himself... after all, the Fates were telling Eurydice to look after herself. Sounds like what Janus said to Thomas after the Redux.
Mandy Goes to Med School: Oh. Um. This sounds like the whole jazz/20â˛s theme. This songâs apparently about abortion? Iâm kinda confused, so feel free to add on! But itâs quite the bop, just listening to it. Maybe the whole thought that society makes laws based on a false conception? Help.
I Put A Spell On You: Janus definitely goes to jazz clubs. âI canât stand it âcause you put me downâ and âI tell ya I ainât lyinââ and âBecause youâre mineâ makes the whole villainesque feel. I donât know where this was from, but this stands out to me just because it was on the âFriends on the Other Side Mashupâ.Â
Evil Night Together: Ominous, and then jazzy. Jay Deeâs flirting skills go to the max. This also gives the villain vibe by the lyrics referencing things that Remus would be fond about. Also, âWhoâs gonna make you a heroâ seems to be directed to Roman like he did in SvS. This is a very seductive song with really dark undertones about crime. Janus, that slimy snek boi is a lawful neutral to evil.Â
Dontâ Tell Mama: Cabaret... a classic musical, eh? âHush up, donât tell mama / Shush up, donât tell mamaâ goes to Janusâ power to silence people. âIf you had a secret, you bet I would keep it / I would never tell on you...â Janus is definitely the one about lies and secrets, so that goes to that.
Youâre a Cad: âWhatâs the point pretending that you could be a better man? / Just give in, since you always end up right back where you beganâ âYouâre a rascal and a rogue, a villain and a crookâ is the other sides viewing him, and âStill I tug at your line, Iâm a fish on your hookâ and âI should be better, but Iâm worseâ is hinting at some Janus angst. I think itâs going to be something about trust
As Far as I Can See: JANUS ANGST TRUCKING IN ON TO YA: âNobody loves me / As far as I can tell.â Or even âNobodyâs listening as far as I can tell / And when Iâm crying out / Nobody cries back for me.â Haha... Iâm totally fine (*sobbing*). Also, the âweâre all going down / all down the staircase aboardâ either hints at the Redux statement of pushing people off staircases... or maybe Virgil who went down the staircase and left the dark sides. Gosh, I thought this was gonna be a hype song by the beat, but I stand corrected.
Criminal: Oh, so the angst continues. Great. Totally great. This somehow links back to the bloopers of Thomas, as J, saying âIâm not bad; Iâm just drawn that way.â This is peak sarcasm in a way, but I donât really know. âIâve done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins / Iâve come to you cause I need guidance to be true / And I just donât know where I can beginâ... is this from Thomas to Janus or the other way? If itâs from Thomas, Janus is kinda mad and is using as much sass as he wants. If itâs from Janus, itâs either heâs lying or he genuinely wants a redemption arc like Virgil did... but in a not so righteous way with âAnd I need to be redeemed / To the one Iâve sinned against / Because heâs all I ever knew of love.â I donât really know, but this is such a bop.
Change: âIâve been thinking itâs just someone elseâs job to care / Who am I to sympathize when no one gives a d-â and ââ Wow. Janus has his similarities with Logan. He wants to be listened to the sides. I mean, there is a reason why he impersonates the light sides: to be listened without bias. âChange is a powerful thing / I feel it coming in meâ foreshadows some good stuff with Janus! YES! Also, âMaybe by the time this song is done / Iâll be able / To be honestâ and the rest of the lyrics just hit me like a truck? It hurts the soul in a way. Change is inevitable is the message, so would that mean Janus could have an upgrade? I mean, the change started when SvS Redux happened with him coming out and being accepted by the light sides, so maybe, maybe things will change from there in a good way.
Devil In The Details: âA house of cards / A supple heart / Is not a place to dwellâ.... Patton? Oh no. âBut know thereâs no backing out / This is gonna be reality / You can never dream it outâ is going to his reputation and relations with the sides and Thomas? He seemed to have hesitated to say his name and let his reputation down since that would change everything that he has known over the years. Would this mean the dark and light side thing will break in later episodes? Maybe. âI put the past into the ground / I saw the future as a cloud / If thereâs still time to turn around / Iâm going toâ is a big oof. And then... âI am the first one I deceive / If I can make myself believe / The rest is easyâ comes in. Is Janus lying to himself? Heâs the manifestation of deceit, but is he also doing that to himself? Or it could be to Thomas. But then again...
Come Little Children: Spooky. Nice. This feels like a lullaby. âIt must be this way / To weary of life and deceptions / Rest now my children...â and then âThe timeâs come to play / Here in my garden of shadowsâ make me think that Janus thinks that this life is quite... painful. I am not too sure about this, tell me what yâall think!
Into The Unknown: Oh itâs not that one. Itâs the one from Over The Garden Wall (the animation if I remember it right). I donât know why, but I saw Come Little Children and connected that to Into the Unknown as words, so that was cool. âDancing in a swirl / Of golden memories / The loveliest lies / Of allâ refers to nostalgia. This song is about nostalgia. Wait. OH WAIT. Pattonâs room is all about that... so would that mean nostalgia is also part of Jay Dee too because of the mood around it that is distorted by emotions? Thatâs something really cool to think about. One more: âIf dreams canât come true / Then why not pretend?â I feel like this points to Virgil in a way because his dream is complete acceptance, but Janus knows V was a dark side, so maybe heâs hinting at Virgil pretending to compensate for the fact that he is a dark side.
Summary:
Janusâ aesthetic would be a 1920-40 vintage theme with jazz on the background, strings and piano used ominous effect, and being flashy and dramatic. He wants to be listened to the other sides, so he puts up different disguises (like to Pat and Lo), which includes his villain facade he put on for the past maybe 2 or 3 years. He strongly believes that society is built on lies, and like in SvS, he doesnât want Thomas to be disadvantaged in the said society. He loves the whole duality and juxtapositions (I mean, his name is Janus for a good reason) because he embraces them both. He jabs at several sides for them faking themselves to hide their true feelings, but then again, he might also be lying to himself. He knows that change is inevitable after the whole name reveal, and we know that his acceptance arc is going to come. It could be about trust and facing the reality... just my thoughts. In other words, this playlist gave me a bunch of reasons on why Janus is a great morally gray character.
