Shattered
Arcanium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happened to deliverance?
What’s wrong with a proclamation?
What’s wrong with this government?
Hold strong to your preservation See all through the looking glass Watch them take away from your only salvation Watch your rights shatter and slip through your hands It’s all been shattered and taken away There’s no room to breathe locked inside this cage NO What’s happening to our nation?
What happened to deliverance?
What’s wrong with a proclamation?
What’s wrong with this government?
What happened to deliverance?

It’s all been shattered and taken away There’s no room to breathe locked inside this cage
The lyrics of Arcanium's song Shattered describe the frustration and helplessness that the band feels towards the current state of their nation. The opening line "just like a revolution tearing itself apart" sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the sense of disunity that exists within the country. The band then goes on to address those in power who they feel are responsible for the downfall of their nation, as they sing "they will not follow your path of illusions, we will not let you destroy us all".
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "what's happening to our nation? What happened to deliverance? What's wrong with a proclamation? What's wrong with this government?" in an attempt to bring attention to the issues that are plaguing their country. The verses also implore the listener to "hold strong to your preservation" and to "watch them take away from your only salvation" as their rights continue to slip away.
The song ultimately expresses a feeling of despair and confinement as the band laments "there's no room to breathe locked inside this cage". The vocals and heavy guitar riffs throughout the song serve to intensify the sense of desperation and urgency that the lyrics convey.

Can't wait for more Arcanum I'm loving this game from what I can see just wish it was was available on other platforms
@olexapog8479
Love deck building games!
@kingsarues1586
Fun fact you can one shot the final boss with a Tara multi shot build
@bbittercoffee
Wooooo baby! This is what I've been waiting for!
@muginc2668
the power potion you kept using : power goes away at the end of your turn, but it gives a 50% damage bonus ( wich made Tara's ult so good when she had the enchantement power from Leon), so using it at the end of your turn is a waste.
Anyways, great vid as always, will you keep playing this after the sponsorship ?
@austinspagnuolo8003
Love your vids
@elijahbrossoit6163
Also amazing content
@Saytguard
Bruh this game reminds me of league of legends based on the character select manu and art style
@ItIsYouAreNotYour
Anyone have some more thoughts on this game? It's a bit pricey and I'm not exactly sure about it? It seems grind heavy.
@OlexaYT
There’s like no grind in this game if I’m being honest. It’s a roguelike. You’re just doing runs and they give you a tonnn of characters so you can create different builds. You unlock the characters just by playing and get new cards and new content just by playing the game.
I genuinely think the game is great and deep for a deckbuilder, which is why I keep accepting sponsorships with them :) I’ll always hype up the game
